Hope everything’s okay-o!

1.29 plus tax
light it up
hour glass countdown
quadruple meltdown
she keeps her lamp burning
but it's illegal 
3000 years...

 Pinned hearts marked the origin
of familiar narrative,
of strangers' exploration
for outside alternative....

Since Mexico cast off the French
Make sure a Corona to clench
And forgo the Merlot
On Cinco de Mayo
But buy beer which can a thirst quench...

Me and my friends down from Ohio

Just paying them back for what I owe

A little salt and lime

Plus three shots at a time 

Another drunk Cinco de Mayo...

Cinco de Mayo, five days into May
Celebrate with margheritas today
       Or break open a Fifth
       I offer as a gift
Have a fantastica day and shout "Ole'"

From top to top
     of hills we skip,
And back again we came,
Hand in hand and
     Toe to tip,
Now we feel the same.

These thoughts to you
     My friend I send,
We always met befor the end....

BIPOLAR
Buoyant joyful spirits
but a garb, tormented
binary mind, prey to
betraying, grave  mood swings.
Brazeness doth  give way
brusquely to despondence;
blues to sadly,  hold sway.

This happened a few years ago. Lucky me.


My husband was sick and I’m stuck with Pa.
A celebration with this one wee flaw.
     I couldn’t have a drink,
     and I need a shrink.
Spent Cinco De Mayo with Dad-in-law.

I tie myself to you
But the ropes begin to burn our skin…
I hold you above the water,
But my grip begins to slip…
I try to save you from you’re a demons,
Though I’m a demon myself. 
My meaningful words,
That I so often come across 
Of I love you
Begin an avalanche 
Of distress and misery....

Almost died myself the 1st of May, 2 years ago,
Seizing as I had another death of my ego.

Flashing forwards to first 4 days of May just a year ago,
I lost a cousin all because of sins of "the ego."

Suddenly remembering my grandfather who passed 2 years ago,
I recall how he was born post-war on Cinco De Mayo....

The Pacific 

The ship was going down a water mountain
only to be met with another mountain and
going up and up, this dizzying dance no rest
only holding on for life hoping the Typhon 
would blow itself out.
Towards morning the see was simmering 
down leaving us to try working, but the talk 
in the mess hall was subdued....

Cinco de Mayo
At Mar-a-Lago
Is serving up Mexican lies

Trump welcomes us all
To pay for his Wall
In a scam each Republican buys

You know Wells Fargo
And Mar-a-Lago
Are models of integrity

Well,  that big Caravan
Is Cartel to a man
There is no true refugee! 

So forget the backlash
Just send Trump your cash
For a Wall that defines liberty!...

Fingers are wrongly pointed in accusation
Assuming poems are written for intimidation
Voices raised in needless defense cry aloud
As they huddle and mutter among the crowd

Consider how your allegations must sound
As you toss foolish words and slurs all around
Don't defame those whose troubles you don't know
You've no reason to sow weeds where poets grow...

A year, twelve months...my fave is May 
When leaves are green and flowers bloom 
April showers have gone away 
A year, twelve months...my fave is May
Cinco De Mayo, my fave...day 
Flowers of fragrance in my room 
A year, twelve months...my fave is May
Fine time, to write...this triolet

I'm tasting the petals and hymn.
It's hard to know where to begin.
Except when my brain falls out and my hate comes in.
I'm tasting the petals and hymn.

I'm tasting the petals and hymn.
I just don't know where to begin.
This time it's my hate that's out and my brain that's in.
I'm tasting the petals and hymn.

I'm tasting the petals and hymn.

I'm tasting the petals and hymn....

A stranger
No one sees 
A mask that came to be
A different person 
Who Isn’t me 

Because of this mask 
I don’t feel free 
Trapped
Fearing no one 
Will like the real me

I feel like a stranger
So out of place
A fake smile upon my face

Outside I look fine
Even though 
I’m hurting inside

I smile when i’m sad
I laugh when I want to cry 
Because of this mask 
That I hide behind...

In 1862, Mexicans were elated
As the French army was decimated
Today is Cinco de Mayo
Tacos—free Pico de gallo!
The Battle of Puebla is celebrated

Emperor Maximillian was fooled 
by the Mexicans he thought he ruled 
Carlota, the Queen, insane  
Died back in France from her pain
After a firing squad had ensued

Maximilian and Carlota´s Love Story...
