Him from his home

Where supernumeraries
Are drowned
No small farm needing
More than one mutt.

dwelt amid a magic wood
a dainty pixie most rare
whose temperament wasn't good
Last one of her purple line
in that dreary, dreaded glen
where beasts ever feared to tread
and mankind had never been
For purple...

Whose bosom births youth’s essence which does bring
Unto the barren glades, a glory, new,

Robert J. Lindley

Fall skulked away with hardly a peep
Deep cold, blowing winds fit some's temper

in the airless cubicle gulag

Dodging the executive ghouls
who skulked the narrow halls

to whisper your name to the unsuspecting innocent,
filling them with the...

And skulked away sheepishly
Through the woods I walked
All quiet as breezes stalked
Branch to branch birds play

The LaundromatIn another lifetime, I was there

In damp and twisted tumble.
Into the dryers they would go
While I just sat there, reading,
To help the time go by so boredom

As he skulked through the night
Causing women a fright
Biting necks was how he chose to vent
One night Vincent met up with a lady
