A Pirates Life For Me

A pirates life is the one for me,both of us sailing on the seven seas,finding treasure,stealing gold,story’s of our life at sea to be told..skull and crossbones scarves on our heads,searching for treasure along the sea bed,I wouldn’t want it any other way,a pirate forever I will always stay

Core Upped

My ballot arrived in the mail
Like a skull & crossbones in gaol
But what gets my goat
If I do not vote
Then the GOP will prevail*

*For the Trumps to escape prosecution,
only the number of Republicans
elected to Congress matters;
quality, issues, and the future of
the USA are irrelevant to the GOP!

Sorrow

The rose is full the emblem 
of the thief, skull and crossbones
the compositor of grief;
love purloins the heart,
envy steals the soul
and darkness shrouds the day.

Life is hard and comedy is tough,
euphoria is hard to take;
to break the bond of sorrow
means an effort of the will,
once overcome the sun's caress
will bless your window sill.

the compositor of grief;
love purloins the heart,
envy steals the soul
and darkness shrouds the day.

Life is hard and comedy is tough,
euphoria is hard to take;
to break the bond of sorrow
means an exercise of might,
once overcome a sweet caress
will bless your days and nights.

and darkness shrouds the day.

Life is hard and tragedy is tough,
downheartedness is hard to take;
to break the bond of sorrow
means an effort of the will,
once overcome the sun's caress
will bless your window sill!

Mild Fright

Skull and crossbones bag Filled with delicious candy Sitting on the porch Where orange wreath lies on door Looks inviting to the young Decorations sit Abounding the well-lit porch Carved smiling pumpkins And spider webbing around And small orange lights on fence Not very scary As young children run about Simply beautiful This concoction of delight Bringing around a mild fright

Trixie Gives Up

Curious cats and plebian pirates do not mix well.
When white skull and crossbones are flying lopsided.
Derelict dogs and wily witches try casting a spell.
My imagination is being ridiculously overexcited. 

My muse is throwing in damsels, dragons and robins gray
Along with Christmas tree ants and squirrels that play 
I hear her deep heartfelt languishing sighs of dismay 
As she tries to control me yet again today.

As Long As Canto Lasts

I’ll be around as long as canto lasts.
The beat of drum, a naked blast of sweat.
My skirt, a round, chases the breathless casts
of oxygen - the faces red - oh my -
and so is mine. The passion fire. I sigh…
Of sticks and stones that create hate - my bones
do ache and amplify sensuous zones.
The opera, unusual, its drums
that speak of life and death - skull and crossbones.
When the fat lady rests, my heart succumbs.

Tale of a Pirate

On a ship showing a skull and crossbones
A brutal pirate decides on whom he shall prey
The years have not been easy for ships in these waters
For the pirates 
take no prisoners 
Gold and silver is what those rogues want
and they get them through fear and sharp swords
So take care when you pass into waters 
where pirates hold sway 
For they are merciless and strong 
They have no sense or concern
for the sanctity of human life

The Greatest Showman

The greatest showman came to town 
Completing verbal acrobatics.
Taming verbs  into free verse.
He made us laugh and made us cry
He made us feel alive.
When the greatest showman came to town.
Turning words into sonnets.
Juggling lines into epic ballad’s.
To woo us with his words of wisdom.
Performing prose to epic levels.
Then a flood light falls on the showman
As he announces the star performance.
It’s john lindley reciting, Love and crossbones .

Halloween Ready

The harbingers of spring are long forgotten
 now rise the specters of summer's end
and the fodder of the misbegotten
 call forth spirits of the psyche to ascend.
Come skeletal images and visionary scarecrows 
 creep along the evening shadows
hiding in the pale moonlight glow
 bringing the macabre wherever it goes.
The crimson orange, the blood red rose,
 the blackened corpse, screeching tones
rattle on with each step taken and posed
 bring on the costume halloweenie crossbones.
