Rhoda and Her Smile
One fine thing about Rhoda was her smile:
She had ways of taking it to a mile,
Its richness as unfading as ever;
So seraphic with her glass of Eva
One could not her link with widow,
Her smiles doing the good job of shadow…
Smiles with a skill of checking abrupt tears
And she trusted would not unveil new fears:
Really, Rhoda

Rhoda Goes For Soda
Not too fat is Young Fair Rhoda
But she is fighting it with soda:
Rhoda not with the screaming width
Of Next - Door Neighbor Miss Judith
Now it's " Don't ever try Apple,
Let alone twice eat pineapple..."
Something that Seller Margaret
Had begun to nicely regret
And round pace like Cattle Egret
To Rhoda "No more Good Morning!"
Over someone else

Rhoda and Phil-A Sad Goodbye
Florid hues of soft petaled flowers
cast satin rose splashes of pastel colors
that move within the cool morning shade,
as the brilliance of the smiling sun reflects
its warm beams of life from each delicate bud.
Rhoda, so fragile, stands gazing for hours
watching the stains as they dance in the shadows
cast before her like captive souls of forgotten dreams,

Rhoda Monihan
When I was only just school age,
My dad became very serious once,
As he was a fundamentalist Christian,
And wanted to know how I was forming my words.
When he asked how I felt about roads,
I knew exactly what he was talking about,
He was taking the phonetic sound,
And asking about

Life According To Rhoda
Social issues elevate politics into the ring,
Whilst a loving family frees your interest thing,
But all people need the state and NHS,
Which step in to assist when life is less.
But everything deepends much upon legislation,
The law, its acts and clauses are foundation,
Its wordings either narrow you into a lark,
Or

Thanks To Rhoda
Rhoda gave me a gift
She gave my spirit a lift
But at her hurt or dismay
This act came into play
Rhoda gave me membership
As she was leaving the ship
I do not know why she left
She said it was complicated I'm bereft
My gain and her loss
A gift at a great cost

Rhoda In the Sky With Diamonds
i see you in lavender
bathed in my kisses
i look for my Mrs
and look to the sky
something then beacons me
i answer quite slowly
the girl in pajamas
is asking me why
hills never end
where does ocean begin
and pillows lay down
when we sigh
where is the truth
when we dream in our youth
and hope for the best
and besides
where in our sin

Dear Rhoda Part 2
As I said- L.I. was home to me up until about a year ago, when I made the
(oopps) mistake of moving upstate, near Poughkeepsie (Wappinger Falls, which
I call Foppinger Walls).... It is soooo boring!! No wonder I'm posting poetry 20
hours a day..... By the way, I'd never heard of Long
