and a vased cut of nettles

thorned stems devoid of leaf

The goblin was wobblin’ along,
Tipsy and singing a song.
It’s hard to cause fright,
When sober not quite,
He hadn’t the heart to do wrong.

While chasing odd witches in a tailspin
He heisted her fat black cat
Whereupon her broom she sat
To kill all the rats in his crusty den...

Already your letter crumbles
S’s and f’s and remnants of 
Harpooned words
Eaten greedily by the goblin of
Squandered adoration

What the hell is happening?
Amazing beat
Life endeavors
 Gargoyle eyes
A powerful sword
A hungry wolf
A blaze of smoke
Raise the gun
Fire a rocket
Not a bullet

Never again!...

There once was a bad ghoulish goblin.
Thump, thump on a crutch he was hobblin’.
It was Halloween night.
He dared to give a fright.
But he fell to the ground; he was wobblin’.

A corner lifted
Like today's dawn 
Bright burnt redness
The goblin smiled.

A lip curved
Like today's moon 
Cookie cut darkness
The goblin smiled.

A teeth peeped 
Like today's lightening,
Zig zag whiteness
The goblin smiled....

wind windy, windy shore,
wind with affectionate lonely hug of soul
from whence comes the wind
if not from thence prank
The long-shore winds
wind blowing so long
wind came into the forest
taken by sea goblin

Little boy goblin living deep in the woods so happy and gay.
I like to think of you when I crunch the leaves every which way.
Sometimes you appear as if by magic and it is so keen to see….
The way you are lively and fun like a friendly goblin can be....

I see you

Little goblin girl 
Your head popped above the row
Of bushes but of discord too, we grow

Blue and green were shades of the same color
Blew past and ahead of me were you allowing me
To see where you once and again will be, free to be me...

Bar Snacks

A man walks into a pub
And asks if they sell bar snacks.
The barman says that they do,
"We've got roast goblin,
Grilled leprechaun
And deep fried fairy"
The man thought for a moment
"They all sound very tasty
But don't you serve anything elfy?"...

selling the story
the goblin laughs at his sophomore effort
last year was rich
this year sweat shrouded the air
it was verscal in its effect

Do we still believe in dreams
as the sun shines daily
fortune most fugit
the autumn brigade has began

This idol, this man holds a place in my heart. 

He speaks of Ziggy Star Dust and Major Tom, so I don't know were to start. 

He played as a king of a goblin land. 

Watching and listening to him makes me crumble like sand. 

David Bowie s melodies and performances are genuinely an art....

Ghosts on a trampoline jumping with a zing and a zang.
I watch them parading with a clang, clang, clang.
A grotesque goblin greets a gremlin gang.
Beloved belfry bats bang bells with a bang.
It’s a Halloween picnic for Hecliff the Hang.
A monster who talks us all up in a Tenessee twang....

The closet door is partially open, 
	More than a crack.
		Yet I cannot see 
			The goblins yet.

My heart beats wildly as my imagination soars me back to
	Childhood when I could feel the angry mean bogeyman
		Under my bed, ready to grab my feet 
			Or my hand.

Oh, yes, the closet door is open....
