all small broken alone
where the shadows roam
a child hides in a dark home
tick tock murmured the clock.
while branches dance
and rattle like brittle bone.
toys scattered around the floor after a wars drone.
a child fights to drive off the night
lying in a ghostly light
flying through haunted moor
floating with a winter moon
broken alone with a whisper of a moan.
bong bong groaned the bell
like a child's distant wail
deep in the heart of night
all broken feeling alone.
scatted in a child's thoughts
like toys in a dark dream
tick tock rambled the clock
all small broken alone
a shadow rises on the floor
spill of light while branches shatter like china.
chatter like teeth in a child's pure sleep
Loosing the night in the moons ghostly chilly light

Twas the season of the holly and frolicking
Merriment and glee with tiny faces believing
Lights that glowed with glitter and gold on top a tree
A starlit angel with wings singing Christmas glee
Package wrapping with toys and gifts inside
Sights of wonder and bells ringing bringing joy
Cats hitting bulbs with their paws while playing
untwisting tangled lights out of last years box
Creating Christmas smells floating through the air
with turkeys cooking and hot fresh butter bread
hanging mistletoe while waiting under it for a kiss
Sounds of music ringing in the ears while singing
Gathered together as sardines hugging and kissing
A table filled with thoughts of love filling tummy's
Children running and plying with empty boxes scatted
The women in the kitchen the men watching football
Grandpa snoring in his easy chair without a care
with a Snowmen built looking through the window
Children laughing mothers dancing bringing cheer
Shopping carts filled and internet buying with a click
All to be forgotten until,
Next Year
The circle of Christmas Cheer
Bringing in the New Year

Some people are happy to others happiness and progress
but
Most people are happier too see and to know other people’s sorrow and failure.
They tell you stories against others, make stories against others then wants to hear you agree with them.
But hey!
Not all people are the same as you.
Not the same as how you think
Not the same as petty as you
Some are just listening, won’t anything against
Not to even react negatively, instead just a drop of smile
But still, rumours still scatted not the same as the reality
Rumours, intrigues, creating stories have no difference with lies
It ties as one, and the outcome is just to ruin others life.

Assuring breathing for seeing tomorrow
Seriously tick tock and tit for tat the scatted hands borrow
Unfanctioned hairs are shaved daily
Getting the forgettable minds
Lime dunking the flight feathers
Yodle provides core enjoyments
Assassination involvements in the fields
Sometimes sin portray fresh partition
Segregated air taste the flavor
Impossible twist the nose end over
No one to believe the achiever.

LAS NAVES DE MEDERA (Wooden Ships)
They wanted ships. What they got
was wooden shells
not a farthing from the Crown
for these floating buckets.
Six thousand corks, hastily riveted
into the keel planking, kept them afloat.
Nina. Santa Maria. Pinta.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained said Isabella.
Ah, muchacho, would she ever cash in.
The navigater shot the course
over the main, visions of tapestry and lace
and all sorts of spices in his head.
Gold? Well--Sí, oro.
But he never dreamed.
The natives appeared naked and restless.
In scatted shades of blues and reds,
artists painted skirts on the girls,
long shirts on the old women,
loincloth on the men,
and a pearl studded gilded robe on the king.
Which Chris promptly stole.
His mistake was trying to hide it
from Isabella.

Haiku 2 Do About U
Should I tell U how
Love 4 U within me sings?
Swinging scatted tune
Haiku About U
Sound brought me 2 U
Feelings for U clear and pure
Dulcet notes on glass
Haiku II About U
Time always 4 U
Time 4 Me? When U want 2.
Metronome off cue
Tru Blu Haiku
Customer Service
Counter for unwanted things
Symphonies in blue
Haiku What U Do
U caused me true pain
My heart a minor etude
Composed in lieu of rain
Blue Haiku N Rue
Silence with me now
Heart pacing on shards of glass
Strewn beneath its feet

life in the world of the living dead is gone like a dead flower
and my un-life is starting again like the rising sun over a
field of scatted bodies , the smell is like no other. the war
was over before it started and the fight was one way , no
survivors, no victors . just death. it wouldn't have happened
if not for the fault in man , if not for the greed we all share
we have ended this world and didn't see it coming like a
blind/def man on the tracks it hit us head on. in this hell
that is repetition we all die and come alive again in the
morning

Family is close.
They're the ones I love the most.
Nothing breaks our bond.
For each other we are very fond.
We stay in touch, no matter how far.
On a bus, a boat, or a car.
We'll always be together.
My aunt won't leave, we won't let her.
I have a large family, too many to count.
When we come together we all are about.
We all sit down to eat at family gatherings,
a very happy time, no emotions shattering.
We're scatted across the U.S.
We keep in touch, it's never a mess.
We spend as much time together as we can
Every one of us, woman, child, and man.
Family is the most vital love.
As beautiful as a dove.
In the end they'll all you have left
after you're in jail for theft.
