Short Henson Poems

broad faced koala
like Jim Henson stitched muppet
stinky hugs clamber 
wide eyed from home in gum tree 
scared away by Aussie flames...

Kermit the Frog went to get a loan for a van
And Jim Henson went along to give him a hand
But when filling out race
Kermit had both a trace	
Of pistachio and cotton American...

Creation of Love

He took an old sock and did stuff it
With a comedic voice he did bluff it
And need I here mention
The guy was Jim Henson
And the sock was his very first Muppet...

Count Dracula was terrifying until the seventies
When Sesame Street and Jim Henson turned him into a puppet
Gave him an intense love for math
And made him cuddly and adorable

Now when I hear Count Dracula I no longer think of Boris Karloff
Or Vincent Price or Alfred Hitchcock or the Twilight Zone
I think of math, which is not my favorite subject,
But I am no longer terrified or afraid in any way....

Through dreamy eyes of green she drifts away 
To fields of daisies  there above the bay
Beneath a silver veil of  ocean  mist 
Lost in the endless bliss of that first kiss
As heaven weeps upon her windowpane




Written:  May 15, 2014

Inspired by a photograph by: Andrada Misca and
A song by  Deborah Henson Conant  - the Nightingale played on a Harp - 
Truly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard ...

~Books Are Powerful~
(Jan's Triple Strata)


Books teach good thing 
And they make our heart sing 
They stimulate the mind
 
Keep mind sharp, great
With books learn, never late 
They'll open doors you'll find 

Entertain true 
Without them my world's blue 
Books are good for mankind

(Dedicated to Jim Henson who died May 16, 1990.)

While you lived, you brought life to puppets.
You were the one who created the Muppets.
It was sad when You died eighteen years ago.
Millions of people treasured the Muppet Show.

You created Kermit the frog, Miss Piggy and other characters too.
When people see those TV shows and movies, they think of you.
On the awful day that you died, people felt pretty rotten.
You are dead but your puppets will never be forgotten....
