TOMBSTONE MANOR

A place of peace and calm
Miles upon miles of graves sites
Memorials telling their life stories
Souls lifted up to glory
Lived in the flesh 
Endless rest
Sleep on in your years
You lived to preserver
Their tomorrows arrived
Now they slumber
Days, years and nights numbered
Their names gathered
Eternity mount
Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
The Sun rises casting shadows over each tombstone
Smiles seen through

The Haunting of Lakeview Manor

They say the lady in the lake is still there
Her spirit lingers caught in the water
Maybe she’s waiting for justice or revenge
Who can say for sure

They say she was killed
Her lover—no her killer stabbed her
Left her sinking in that cold black lake

Sometimes when the nights are too quiet
When the air feels wrong and heavy
She rises
Wrapped

Forever doomed to reside at 2 Highland Manor Drive

Forever doomed to reside at 2 Highland Manor Drive

A worse fate than death being hull hive,
I just realized after a surprise inspection
our opportunity to relocate cursed
after yours truly and the missus
subjected to vitriolic wrath
(okay hyperbole employed
for poetic effect)
will exhale his last dying breath
condemned to reside within unit b44,
however many orbitz remain,

whereby yours truly already misspent

A healthy dose of invective flourishes at Highland Manor asylum

A healthy dose of invective flourishes at Highland Manor asylum

I hate to be curt,
but welcome to the monkey house
at 2 highland manor drive,
where all manner of imbeciles go berserk.

I and the missus
(thee unfortunate recipient
of poisonous blackened barbed wrath)
more often then not
remain squirreled away
in our one bedroom hovel
designated unit b44.

We desperately search for an alternative abode

To care for her, quickly,
Attend, instantly;
This husband-like heart,
Wants her near:

A hug in my arms,
Is here, urgently;
This custom, of love,
I would share –

Highlights From Highland Manor

Highlights from Highland Manor

Courtesy Goofus and Gallant 
who began their broadly-drawn 
moral plays in the 1950s, 
initially depicted as identical twins,
but later on, editors for Highlights 
indicated the two were brothers, 
but not twins, and by 1995, 
they simply existed as two unrelated boys.

Analogously, ineptly, and uniformly juxtaposed

Lets Go Visit Marley Manor

Marley Manor is that old castle-like Victorian high on the hill.
The one on West Minister? Yes. That’s the one. It gives me a chill.
Seriously, I would love to see; it always gives me a thrill.
I decided to invite along my cousin three-timing-flirty-Jill.

When are you doing this? asked Mr. Pete Mahogany.
It was not any of his

Farchadat Alte Kaker Here At Highland Manor Apartments

I (a youthful sexagenarian)
can no longer quip being
a country boy at heart,
but me as urban cowboy,
I declare would never

nothing 'cept bucolic existence

by the bushel and quart

Don't get me wrong;
Every cell comprising

One Alarm Fire At Highland Manor Apartments

after dark April 26th, 2022

Prometheus bound out the heavens
to strike fear in the hearts of men and women
reminding us mortals how like oxen yoked
(together via a wooden beam forced
to undergo strenuous labor)
unlike most elderly residents here
at Highland Manor Apartments
whose arising out of bed exertion
tuckers sexagenarians, septuagenarians,
octogenarians, nonagenarians,
and very small number of centenarians out

The Manor

Five chimney pots standing proud 
on victorian tiles and darkened
shroud of stone, it stands alone. 

Bleak and raven tarnish grown
in age and time, its beauty faded, 
stout yet jaded. 

Resolute, it does remain a formidable and 
gloomy garnished stain
on an urban nest of semi chain. 

How neglected you have been
when once a queen!
Standing in your

The Manor House

By invitation from a trusted friend, 
a medium intervention took place and I went.
The building set in the thick forest by a shimmering lake,
some broken sheds looking sad and strange to take.
Weeded and worn the manor house thatch,
a frail welcome and the oil lamp in my face, opens the latch.
Guided into a stony room, a

Manor

Eve outlines the curves of an old  terrain,
where antique bottles in their moonlit sheen
reflect pillars’ glow…now mildly unseen
from vintage halls of paling, roughened  grain:
All through this vine-clad manor’s dusky shade
poses outside  its  elegant  fig tree--
Which attests to  a once- royal marquee
this landmark, our own hometown’s proud arcade.

The Husbandman

it's a story about a henpeckked husband
that catered and spoiled
his wife.
one day he fixed her beef tougue and cabbage soup
her friend was in attendance
so she smiled and became mean and uncaring
and cursed him.
day's later when he mustered up the courage to
speak to her, her cornered him
and cursed him in the corner
not allowing him to leave.

Highland Manor Coveted Hideaway

Temporary salient sunny solitary sight
does dole divine delight,
asper this dada to imbibe
delicious draught when uptight
fraught, viz sunkist radiant photons

packets of energy with
life giving hefty might
to warm formerly frost bitten cockles,
which secluded niche bracketed by slight
recess, where perpendicular brick walls

converge, forming mini refuge
beckoning tours ruly forthright,
this solitary scribe savored moment
of peace simply lollygagging excite,
