Oct 31
Bell re-rung
lit bag of dung;
no treat, so
a smelly trick
stomping makes
a foot quite slick
serves him right
the cranky old prick --
Horrid Ghosts
shrieking goblins
bloody sacks
creepy maniacs
it's all sick fun
Halloween on a
bun~ icky worms
and spiders -- backyard
pool with a couple
gators -- replacing
guardian angels with
starkly arousing satyrs --
a night of celebration
hosted by
the monarch of
Evil Contemplation --

Today’s My Birthday-Oct 7
What shall I tell you about…books piled high, watery eyes, a day burned up, my birthday coming up. Shall I tell you, I have one more year before I’m officially a senior citizen and how the gray and wrinkled look at me and laugh because I’m too young to be north of 60. My hair

Driving In the Dark On My Birthday-Oct 7
Thirty minutes til pickup - leaving home before crack of dawn
A slew of police cars and orange cones blocking the exit
Reading mailboxes with old eyes - not owl eyes
My friend and I exchanging gift bags - her birthday was in August
Thirty more minutes North - I should have let her drive
A sharp curve - caught

21 Oct 2022 It Is
They saw each other,
For the first time.
She saw an angel,
For the first time.
Locked eyes and they smiled,
That few second of stare,
Was a life.
The day when she met him,
Was the day when she,
Went on heaven to swim.
His hands locked so well
In her hands,
As like he was the boy
Of her brand.
And her body fitted so well
In his

Chessboard : Oct 2021
If it were possible to love a thing,
I would love you.
I would hear the click of your pieces moving
The silence of felt.
Feel the hardness of marble, the soft warmth of wood,
Watch the changing endless patterns.
Smell the patient contentedness as your dance unfolds.
I know you read the minds of many who play with you,
Their

Randy I swear it just doesn't seem possible that 1 year ago today

Surely, the demons I face
While my eyes are wired shut
Cannot grasp the taste
But can only smell the blood.
I know they’re laughing at me
Some are pulling me forward
Wanting me to come and see
What lies behind closed doors.
My hand pulsating profusely
I place down a sweaty palm
Jiggling the handle frantically
Locked, so terrified I call.
I know what’s behind remains

Time Is On the Other Side Poem Reworked 27 Oct 17
REWORKED 27 OCT 2017
I'm sorry I'm reposting this, I had to rework it for better meaning continuity and flow of speech.
````````````````````````````
Time pulls life by its hand
and she's gliding along,
to see, to sense to enjoy,
proliferates with pride,
but..... it's waning too,
breadth after breadth spent.
Doesn't know, time doesn't tell

Dragons For Contest, Written 18 Oct '15
Down they swooped, so keen,
In perfect vee formation
Bronzes, browns, a green
Two blues and, showing elation,
Lastly, at midpoint, the great golden Queen
Beloved of our tiny nation,
Their plate sized eyes awhirr
As they sought new station.
The sulphur smell
Near knocked us out
Reminiscent of the hell
Of the recent rout.
They parted ranks to let her through
She landed, claws ascreech
Then the

An Oct 25th
Parades of parades-
Couples and trios
A Sun present,
Sand rises to a projected
screen in reflected flash-
Smells mixed in sights.
