Circus cat Cecil
Fantastically flew free
Soaring sailing sourpuss 
Projecting piercing paws...

The night is no stranger to me.
             I live in it a lot...
             For me it works fantastically
             for ethereal nutrition  offered
             to my reveries......

Fantastically I flew
danced with clouds
zigzagging around
no one could touch me
ginger bread man...me
tasted some fine flower
it was time to come down,
I was canyon tired.
things catching up to me.
The cocoon is calling me back
home... in echoes....

You’re Fired


Sorry, I’m late Mr…
My son had a fever and
My friggin’ husband fled.
Finish your shift and
Don’t come back tomorrow.

I siphoned some fuel from my Ford Fairlane
Through the barely opened window 
Of his Ferrari.
The flames were fantastically infernal!...

Forward and directly
Fantastically
From me
Error made in rage
Cage this stage and page
But believe boldly
I equal this sequel
Slanders slivering toung
Will seal to slavery
That woman is dead
So are the rest
Best for pity
Puts lack
Into fact
Whole I am to you all,now....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
whimsically whirling words
woven enthralling expressions
fantastically frenzied fantasies
second best silver woefully inadequate descriptor
gleaming and glittering aureate
contentedly caught in your poetic creations
a thrill for wanting mind

If not for the charming coo
of your newborn offering to you
your exchanged smiles were just magically
for a casted spell lingers fantastically.
                                        ...coo, coo, coo,
                                        ...thanks for the magic

Been to visit the middle school
Not ready to let our babies go there
First of all, they are like lambs
Innocent for the most part

But now that they have seen
The fantastically “fly” cheerleaders
Gyrating like pole dancers,
They are even more frightened.

Not the girls, of course 
As they are 12 going on 21.
I am talking about my boys,
Who sat like codfish, watching in rapt wonder....

Fantastically fickle
Rarely enduring -- ever ephemeral,
Adamantly flexible and footloose
Gregarious, vivacious and effervescent
Irresistible, insuppressible and indestructible, 
Love is all that and more…
Ever needed, ever elusive;

Homing in on fragile hearts, love
Erupts into a rousing passion and
Amplifies raw emotions
Rallying those faint at heart
To overcome an insurmountable
Sisyphean task.

As the wild wind and roaring waves batter the West Country, 

does the Glastonbury Thorn flower today to be blown at bay? 

Tis it true as Christ came to Priddy, on the Mendip hills overlooking 

the fantastically fertile grazing, now flooded land of the Somerset Levels 

that now drown our complacencies whether global warning is all to blame for our shame?



Old Christmas Day                                                         6th January 2014...

Back in the day we had a maypole on May Day
We created May baskets out of doilies and construction paper
I loved adding bits of ribbon, aluminum foil and glitter.
We decorated them like Valentines boxes.
Filled them with tiny candies popcorn and violets.
It was fantastically fabulous, and I loved it!
Why did I have maypoles and May baskets?
Was it because I lived in a small town? Was it because of my mother?
Was it because we knew all of our neighbors back in the day?...

A crystal lead star hangs from my window.
It is fantastically gorgeous, beautiful.
I had forgotten it was there until I looked up with a fresh eye.
Use your eyes. Look around your house. 
If something makes you feel good, keep it.
Throw out the stuff that uplifts you in no way.
I admire this crystal lead star today.
This is probably the first time I have noticed
it since the day I hung it ten years ago due
to so many other things in this house, 
cluttering her out of my memory....
