Running from house to house, full
Of joy and candy...

There once was a Santa from Nome.
From house to house he did roam,
When done he stopped for a beer
And some friendly Holiday cheer.
Alas…… he couldn’t find his way home.


thank you Carolyn..lets see what the chef can come up with......

my favorite holiday season
is when i can smell the 
aroma of hot chocolate
and pumpkin pies
when i can watch little ghosts
run from house to house
in search of treats
and eat dinner rolls
and mashed potatoes 
all day long
skipping the turkey...

When I think of Christmas
I think of sweet melody
Singing and dancing
Parang, Parang

Family gathering, great unity
Moving from house to house celebrating

Sharing and giving
Mama cooking
Everything finger liking
Party of the year
T&T Christmas...

It was a smokey night and it was breezey.
That smokey night there was a house that was smokey grey 
and the light where going on and off.
That night a man went in there to see what was going on, But that man never came 
out of the smokey old house that night....

Inside the house we thought we knew,
the new cat’s disappeared again.
A world of possibility –
I gaze into the darkest place

and see two greenish glints in space,
a world of possibility.
The new cat’s disappeared again
inside the house we thought we knew....

We were a motley crew
No pirate flag or eye patches
Still we were gloriously dangerous
The neighborhood kids
The south side gang
We tore up the air with laughter
Running house to house with popsicles
Tormenting the dogs who chased after us
Wanting to be in laps that never sat...

ghostly nuances
haunted houses galore
madcap witches

trick or treaters
giggling with gusto
hoping to be scared

dracula howls
terrifyingly real
vampire sandwich

ghoulish gargoyles
hiding among princesses
going house to house

dance of the weirdos
octobers insanity
no masks needed...

She sits and cries
18 Years old 
Fear of being out and on her own
Helpless and weak
Those words cut deep
Never taught the ways of life
Jumped from house to house
Not one person said 
This is how you do it
Little did she know
That the only way for her to learn
Was to get out there
And actually be on her own...

Dream Home

I do not dream of a mansion
Not fifty bedrooms
Not with baths and toilets en-suite; 
I do not desire a Jacuzzi in every room
Not a penthouse for ‘Yours Truly’ and
A playroom for even the pet dog.
All I ask for is, a house to ‘house’ my HOME, and, welcoming smiles on faces all around me - after a hard day’s job....

It dawns a day every year,

Taking kitchens busy,

Making corn flour roti,

Children wearing happy,serving,

House to house,neighbors,friends and family,

Hot,hot roti,

Cats chased out,come back in again and again,

My rotis serve to houses coming back to me,a common,

Like my comments on poems,bring back comments!...

There was a old maid that lived in a house, That old maid took a look under her house and she could not tell what is down there. The old maid took a candle and went down there and she saw a dead body and it was an old maid that was there before her. The old maid did not know what to do ? So she said I am out of here no more old maid in this house bye....

This house of things, with all the people gone.
A mother’s tea set and a daughter’s shoe.
Out front the crabgrass wrestles with a lawn.
This house of things with all the people gone
imagines mildew, dust against the dawn.
See how mold and dryrot whisper to undo
this house of things with all the people gone.
A mother’s tea set and a daughter’s shoe....

Light house tower's light
                                      twinkles like a star at night
                                            from distant places

                                           Sailor takes due care
                                     to reach the sea coast safely
                                           light house blesses all...

I remember Halloween how spooky it was at night,
looking up at the full moon with it's eerie light.
We would run from house to house collecting candy and having fun,
watching for the ghost and goblins that this night would surely come.
Now I wait for the children to knock it's less and less each year,
now my biggest fear is that Halloween will disappear!

Red juicy apples lying across 
round pumpkin fields
terrifying the scavengers

Black yowls 
dusting up the corn rows
Softening up the cats

Hallows Eve
Waiting around the corner
Eager to shake up the spiders

Witches 
Stirring October’s brew
In apple tree cauldron

Trick—or-Treaters
tromping from house to house
scared of nothing

Halloween Magic...

late spring arthropods
not as things should be
many absentees
-
swallows still absent
butterflies the odd one
today a wood brown
-
azure springtime sky
should be full of life... empty
no i'm going blind
-
house sparrows chirping
heard but cannot be seen
pond water warming
-
the common garden
spider A diadematus absent
could be it is late

He was told that Santa
lives in north pole, 
with his elves assistants;
making gifts for children
around the world.

He was told that Santa
flies from house to house
with the help of reindeer;
no one told him that Santa
only exists in Christmas cards,
commercials, and movies;
no one told him that the spirit
of Santa is kindled in each soul,
that embraces Christmas mood....

i left you in that house, that house i can never return to.

i didn’t mean to lose you, but i needed to leave and you wanted to stay.

as i turned back to call out your name, i saw the first flame.

i could have saved you. but i can't enter that house again.

we could have burned together. but i left instead.

i heard your screams and coughs.

but i can never enter that house.

(This is a fictional poem)

Those two japanese guys came to my house and asked to play my Wii.
They chose the wrong time to come visit me.
I kicked both of their _____ and I smashed the windows in their car.
By the time I got through, they had wounds that will leave scars.
After I beat them up, they ran to their car and drove away.
That's the last time they'll go to a person's house and ask to play....

Some little bastards TPed my house and my yard.
I put them over my Knees and spanked them hard.
They ran home and told their moms and pops.
Thirty minutes later I was arrested by some cops.

I spent Halloween night behind bars.
Those kids returned and egged my car.
They also left a flaming bag of poop at my door.
They vandalised my house but at least their butts were sore.

( TRICK OR TREAT )

Toddlers walking the streets at night,
Running from house to house.
Images of candy fill their heads,
Costumes of all kinds abound.
Knocking on strangers doors.

On their faces are smiles galore,
Ready for the next house.

Time consuming ritual,
Right down to the last minute.
Emptying out the jars of goodies,
Always to say thank you sir or ma`am.
Treasures await them when they get home....

(This haiku isn't in the ancient hokku form).

Indecisive mind
divided feelings
state of no response

.........................................
Coming and going 
spell out your real heart
the miss confusion

.........................................
Wandering brain
from house to house
where is thy root?

........................................
Like end of the road
walking away legs
heart still in love....
