Inside three closets,
Arrays colorful dresses
For life's wardrobe sets....

jewels in jewelry boxes
tools in tool boxes
clothes in closets
flowers in vases

We all have skeletons
Burried in our closets.
Hidden amongst the dusty baggage.
Remnants of past demons...

In tidy closets ~
  Coats hang peacefully,
Quiet, Muffled happiness,
  Beside little shoeboxes,
The cosiest of spaces....

Sisters talk
Sisters bark
Sisters love to tell and nark
That is why god	
In all his grace
Gave brothers extra closet space...

Shaped like balls under the couch
Piled high behind the nightstand
Son’s socks find a home elsewhere
Just not in closets

the sun is erased

   behind a cloud of despair-

     days froze to silence

       dust stung eyes of the earth, flags

           escaped their closets......

Almost everywhere, these creatures dwell, 
basements, closets, even under chairs.
Constantly  they regroup, and come to claim,
dreadful little creatures, with tiny names....

my sweet little child
fragile as butterfly wing
sees ghosts in the dark
feels trapped in tiny closets
please crack open the casket

I know, what happens to Harvey Weinstein,
it's pure embarrassment, pure a shame,
But most of producers of the Hollywood movies,
In closets have own skeletons with the boobis!...

No Noises

No noises have been  heard in the hall;
People were shot as each body did fall;
Teacher was there;
Handled with care;
Students secure in closets did sprawl.

A bone foundation, covered with meat and skin
                    Like limbs of a tree, some are strong and some are broken
                                 And some skeletons hide in closets...

BOXED LIDS  © Haiku +

fear
Don’t enclose me in 
Boxes come with four walls sealed 
 Seals me inside out! 
 

fear
BOXED IN!  ©  HAIKU +
A well fitted ‘box’ closets in
When the lid clamps shut
Capturing me in darkness!...

PU-LEEZE...Freddie Kruger
jumping out of dark closets?
Cut! Cut! That’s enough!

What is true terror?
Daylight and brightly lit rooms
Evil put to light…

‘The Shining’…Best use of special effects ever in a movie (In my humble opinion)...

Small one
Playing is done
And your bedtime has come.
Wind is moaning
rafters shifting.
Listen.
Inside closets 
ghosts are sniffing.
Dare not move. Dream you fly.
Sun in your eye
Morning.

I 
am trying
to find 
myself
looking 
everywhere
inside and out
and all about
in closets 
and drawers
and even behind 
locked doors
constantly hoping 
that someday 
somewhere
I will find me 
but hopefully 
not 
in a very high tree...

my best dream is of a cotton candy life
I would like to see it freshly spun daily
filling my closets, oozing out from under my bed
if I wanted a taste, all I would have to do is reach for it
wouldn’t you get sick of it? A moron asked me.
she has obviously never had cotton candy...

The sun pulls off our blankets and closes ghost banquets

It plucks millions of monsters indoors
Out of closets, and from behind doors

It bully’s lights into submission and pokes eyes, blinding vision

Its rays color shadows all day for fun
And makes berries blush, and the fog run...

Claustrophobic Closets 
...full of personalities and promise

what to squeeze into…
what to hide under?
fitting and proper it should be
for this moment, yes?

Metamorphosis into 
that which is necessary to 

...accessorize the lie

It’s all just dress-up anyway.

Now you should try....

we awaken
for a moment 
to remember 
all that was sacrificed.
then, one by one
we take them down
and pack them away. 
the ornaments,
the memories,
we place them
carefully 
into our attics
and closets
until next year,
when we dust them off
and try again
and cry again
for peace on earth...

There are ghosts in her closets, ghouls on her stair.
If you visit my grandma grump, it is best you beware.
I’ve seen a see-through body with half a head.
It looked curiously like my deceased cousin, Little Ned.
No one else has seen these ghosts, it is a fact, and true.
I know this is curious and peculiar to me too....

Scary closets,
And darkened rooms.
Always lead me back to you.
Clapping everytime i stick it.
Laughing everytime i smile.
Huggin when i fall.

Being here is your job,
All the time, even when i fall.
Crying when i leave,
Wishing for luck.
Yelling at me.
Spanking my butt.
You are my mommy.
And that is just that....

Pieces of me 
Everywhere
In corners of closets
and drawers
In notebooks
and trashcans

This is everything
My pen is everything
That even I don't understand 
about myself

I have my forever
on paper
Thank you, GOD
For pain and hate
Love and tears
For feelings
For words
and the gift of turning them
in to a song....

Cleaning out the closets
 in the autumn time of year
Old shoes fell off the rack,
 worn and faded from use.
How many steps were taken
  with that very pair?

Steps to work and shopping
 then back home again. 
New shoes may replace them
 taking different steps tomorrow
but old shoes cannot return us
 as time is only borrowed....
