A Moss Covered Stone Rest
A Moss Covered Stone Rest
Despite my nature
to absolve evil,
Against all the odds,
stood formidable,
Beseech fortitude
of righteous people,
Prevails my true heart
molding life peaceful.

Holiday Love
Holiday Love
As winter takes hold
This time of the year
The holidays help
To spread love and cheer
The lamp lights aglow
snow covers the ground
our families close-
all hearts safe and sound

Fidgety fingertipsFidgety fingertips
tickling tempo and time,
modeling melody,
writing in rhythm and rhyme.
Frolicking fantasy -
magic in music sublime.
Perfectly pleasing performance;
cleverly crafting the climb.

Destiny By Ocean'sIs it crazy to throw
These dreams I hold
Inside my heart, eternally,
Into the ocean's mold..
Then to hope one day,
As my days grow old,
They'd wash into the same
Breaking waves I watch unfold?

with free verse and narratives.

Though fun is his major style

He’s witty and versatile

Living the Dream
I’m living the dream;
so grateful am I
for mountains around me,
green grass and blue sky.
Not all are so lucky
to have things they need:
great friends, food, and a home.
Wanting for more leads to greed.

Try the Apple PieWhen Adam and Eve
Set up house down in Eden
With do-it-yourself
They had no time for breedin
Expansion was slow
Hardly bothered to try
But took off when Eve baked up
That first apple pie

Black FridayI won’t shop Black Friday
because I’m not ready
to fend for my life
in a scene rough and heady.
So call me a coward!
You won’t see me fight ‘em,
and risk getting maimed
for a much-desired item.

Swathe Of Stillness
Whistling wind plays flute in
orchestra of air
where flying on music
birds in blue share.
Music flows rippling in
broken heart in despair
as stillness swathes soul
with bliss so rare.

JAN ALLISON
With humorous mind
Plucks spunky courage
To write poop verses
Poems not abridge
To a complete gaffe
Loves stiff cockie pudding
A gentle soft soul
Nutty and charming

A Fading Passion
The white-hot passion
between them, their love affair
Now tantamount to
A candle's moribund flame...
dirty dancing in the feeble wind
struggling to reignite to no avail
Flickering, then dying out.
Erosion of lust is to blame.

Charmagne the InvincibleCharmagne the Invincible
We’re scared to death of
Charmagne the Invincible
The scary principal
Who makes us crazy
I am not kidding.
It’s a well known fact.
She’s a tyrant
When we are lazy.
