Contagious joyful giggles
Whimsical frivolity
Frolicking in a fun
Aquamarine playpark
Mermaids in the
Twilight of their youth

Legend has it
She cast her spell to gain his love
With a lock of his hair and feather of a dove
He murdered her on all hallows night
Then planted a pumpkin on her grave site
White as her hair the pumpkin did grow
Legend says it is so


Wow 50 words burns up quick
that was harder than i thought
it would be....

It is sweet and available but deadly,
I cannot do without taking it all the time,
even if the effects on my health are costly,
getting hyperactive is not a crime,
backache and fatigue are my normal visitors,
stomach pain and extreme pile are auditors,
 much sugar,diabetes is near!

Chatting with Hyrum, my husband asked him
what he was watching on TV. He 
raved about the show his grandpa’s
phone call had interrupted.
There was a lull. . . and then
this four-year-old kid
said, “What am I
still talking 
with you
for?”

I used to believe in things
thoughts were proof of belief
but nothing tangible
could ever be held in hand
these are the things
commanded by faith
it is the leap you proudly make
not knowing where you will land
but strong enough to face anything
believing in his presence

Awakened with need to visit restroom, did make that run
Dizziness hits with faintiness, feelings of passing totalily out, falling
Ambulance was called early in morn; Princess could have outrun
How could anything so slow bounce and twist when crawling
Snail's pace arrived alive, then Manatee pace looked after appalling

Fifty Cent, the rapper, sang
“Get Rich or Die Tryin’.”
Fifty-fifty: half a chance.
Over fifty:  dyin’!
Golden is one's fiftieth anniversary.

You’re only interested in a god
A god so transparent he’s left unseen
This hidden god desires to take your soul
And break your soul into many pieces
Which he’ll do within time…he’ll crush your soul
And leave you helpless without a way out
The god of money’s quite harsh

Come, let's do anything but this 
Sit and speak of those we miss
For I, the man filled with pride
For you, the mom who held you inside
We could share sorrows for hours
this unrequited love that cowers
Happiness waits around the bend 
Come, let's call the other friend

Somewhere a peaceful bed of land
just so forsaken hearts can band.
Those born beneath a sky of stones
in human err that strive alone
with scars so bad they pay the cost
of leaving them forever lost
adrift in dreams never to be,
on a ceaseless tide of destiny.

Through these lips
sorrows pass
bound to slip
seldom last.

Behind smiles 
secrets said
all the while
kept in red.

Whisper cries
from the heart
tender ties
love may start.

Lipstick likes
to make marks
takes all types
to send sparks.

Touch these lips
don't dare miss
passing ships
with a kiss.

I adore observing a stunning sunset,
when summer is drifting towards fall.
Ruby red tinged clouds I can’t forget  -
they are the most glorious sight of all!

Twilight’s arrived, to another day I must bid adieu
as scarlet skies transform to an inky velvety blue.

I died one thousand deaths for you,
with this pain I may never know
how to love again-
arthritis swells my fingers and
I am left remembering the last
time you warmed them

if you needed light
I'd rope the sun;
since you left
I’ve come undone

~one thousand deaths~

By The Light Of The Silvery Moon

Man seizes the ramble of a wayward moon,
Echoes clear its pale look melancholy tune,
It lends a trail took before of song and face,
Man ambles in the real feel of its sung grace,
Glimpse that all the creator has caused to be,
Harmony feels to express nature's beauty.

In our vessel's journey our passage finds
The stream, the bird, the arts divine
A refuge of joy and compass within our minds

And seas that carried our ships destined voyage
Should storms that lash to test our courage
Will find that love and strength our lessons refined
To find our harbor so content and sublime

50   WORDS

The man  with the rope  asked for  last  words  -  so
I  stepped to  the edge and  looked  calmly down:
That’s a dangerous edge, I said - some unlucky
guy  could  get  hurt  if  he   fell  -
I mean he could easily break
His    leg   or   arm  -
if really unlucky,
maybe  his
neck.

Black and White

Good, bad
Glad, sad
Moods shown
Through sharps
And flats;
Deep bold				
Sounds from					
The top						
Tier can				
Be heard
Both far
And near;
Soft C 
Scale sets
At rest
Till pressed
By soft
Light touch;
Black, White
Dark, Light
No hue
In sight,
But in
The mind
That’s blind;

She was supposed  to come at
12-30, I heard sounds of quiet footsteps
crunching through the autumn leaves 
outside but there was none except a tree 
with a lot of branches  all in black silhouette 
behind which stood gorgeous 
halloween moon
Soon a figure 
emerged in half-light
Was it  she

My love -

When you
leave I 
feel black 
all day.

Hands hit
up down
your tune
I play.

You in
my heart
high low
notes flow.

But my
keys are
cold as
white snow.

Black night
brings tears
they fall
like rain.

Come soon
touch my
soul take
my pain.
