Who tied his wife to a pillar
He said, "Cheerio"
A clue that would show
He was a cereal killer

has by now studied a good many forensic tomes
as much as they matter
elementary that Watson should ponder every blood splatter.

Premium Member Like Inmates at Asylums

     How ironic to see ‘chain gangs’
       in elementary schools now

     Little kids roped together, inmates
       at asylums where madmen shoot at you

Sherlock Holmes Once Said To Watson

Sherlock Holmes once said to Watson,
“This murder was done by a dachshund!
   It’s quite elementary;
   He’s short and he’s hairy
And walks with two pairs of socks on.”

Elementary My Dear

I suggest
you continue
teaching ABC's
coloring inside
the lines
if you please

not a degree
so stay
on the couch

Makita Iv: Ages and Quakes

Voodoo cryptograms
were the mirrors
alleviating all that is
bred of elementary nature
having spaked in tones
that could quake the bones
fashioning humanity’s frame
furnished by deathly tales
Form: Verse

Makita Xi: Imagistic Memories

A hankering feature once she was
Saturated by a plethora of alleviation
along the current she’d sway
Her presence infusing meaning
In elementary shapes
And esoteric hymns
Makita te quiero
Tu eres mi amor
Form: Verse

Anywhere

It could have easily been 
a cowboy bar, or rock concert,
crowded subway train filled,
elementary school stilled
by crazed mind, anger filled;
clutching weapon of mass destruction,
on any street in America.

Mlk Elementary Anthem

Fifty States United
In an healthy Zone
Everyone is different
But proud to call it home
Children are singing
As they grow
So all the world
Will hear and know
There shall always be
A sequel
For Americans
born equal!

Reality

Elementary yet limitless and to extreme care with a cunning heart?
 
And  aching bones as blood flows through my veins

As my heart pounds with each second
I realise now : I have never noticed the reality of life
Form: Quatrain

Elementary

My love is like ice

In the palm of your hand
I puddle

Release to preserve
Endure to exhaust


My lust is like fire

At the back of your hand
I singe

Release to preserve
Endure to exhaust

Premium Member A Lonely Owl

Once long ago on a school visit to the zoo
My little one had just begun elementary school
High up on a tree branch sat a lonely owl
With his huge eyes shut, he could pass for any old fowl
Suddenly, he opened them and questioned, “Who? Who?”

Premium Member Wind Its Elementary

Wind..dances in the trees
Egos,doing as they please

Tomorrows,oftimes filled with pain

Wind..sounds deep in the night
Sorry,may not make it right

Attraction,love's go-between

Tinker Toying

Circles and sticks.
Round holes that
don't fit.
     Elementary
          my dear.
Magic carpet cruise
down
crooked streets
      of vacant use.
 Nonsense.
      Silly.
He was always
     square.
Whoever surmised he
was cut from
     the round?

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE PARENTAL MATH

I am grateful for understanding parental math…
although I’m sure my elementary teachers 
would think my math misguided…

How the love for each of our children, 
grandchildren
and great grandchildren 
can be whole…
no matter how many times it is divided.

Premium Member Regrets From My Youth

Everyday they would encircle and torment me.
I was the victim of every elementary and high school bully.
Eventually however they would come to accept me,
then altogether we would torment the victim that came after me.
Regrets From My Youth. I owe so many an apology.

The consumate sleuth Sherlock Holmes
Hardly lacking the wit chromosomes
With the faintest of clues
To bemuse and confuse
Cracked crimes in the Welsh catacombs
