Thought your name was rhododendron;
Poetry star,
By far,
And Janet Leigh was your kindred.

Today mice have nothing to fear
I'm quite comfortable sitting here
for it's my turn to slouch
and chill out on the couch
so pass the popcorn and the beer!

we took pity on you poor kitty 
but now this kitty has no pity,
He's king of our castle 
exposing his tassel
while on our new couch looking pretty.

When Asher-Leigh made fudge smoothie
It’s not one that you’d want to see
It looked like baby pooh
That you’d flush down the loo
I’m certain it’s no drink for me!

Yes I am
The Bandit
Cornered the market in   Cool
And yes
Stolen the best seat in the house 

Now would you be a pet and fetch me a saucer of milk?

frosty ears again
a wanton dream
was it something you heard
a butterfly's flight a ladies eyes
a mirror is a motherlode
waterfall keeps on giving
a scheme like petrified wine
a golden cup  duped by the leigh high
the wind rides high
an eagle is abound

Yesterday we complained over, familiar routine
We longed for a break from the American dream
But things have, since, changed
The world rearranged 
Now complaining to walls, about life, quarantined

You were my crush;
The memory's sweet
But I can't take
Your stinking feet.

Don't get me wrong;
I've tried to please
But I can't stand
Limburger cheese.

She reads Dave Berg and E.B. White,
John Ciardi and Henry Leigh –
My eight-year-old prodigy.

She sings Ray Charles and Jackson Browne,
Benatar and Robin Lane.
Her confidence will never wane.

She loves writing and drawing,
Painting and dance.
I’m proud to be her provenance....

  Frosty Time of year

A frosty winter tree
Jack frost cold as can be
Longing for warmth ~ spring


Who is that red head 
Sitting in that tree?
Could it be an ancestor  of 
Heaven Leigh?

this is a poem my daughter savannah wrote 
to me when she was 5, she is now 15.....and 
i have it in a frame on my nightstand.


         i love my daddy

       he smells like roses

       he is so handsome

         when he poses


     i love my dad so much

You whisper sweet nothings in my ear that are divine,
Then our lips meet, and our passion intertwines.
You kiss awakens feelings I thought were long dead,
My broken heart was healing… even though it had bled.

You're asking me what makes me flinch?

My reason, answer, you will clinch.

Cell phone- held to ear!

One hand- left to steer!

At sight of this- my flinch- a cinch!

It's sad when a man's claim to fame
Is having more than just one dame
Like birds of a feather
They all got together
Saying he left after he came

Leigh Anne bashed the man most of all
She said he only had one ball
Sometimes it turned beet red
That's when he'd wet her bed
So, she kicked his A S S down the hall...

Come my sleeping heart

From your slumber wake,

For love has called upon you

And you are hers to take.

Come my sleeping heart

My life is now complete,

Now I have found my one true love,

No longer need you sleep.

Like prayers adrift
In candles’ glow,
Our whispers rise,
In reverent tones:
Soft coos of love
And futures guessed,
A treacly void
Of nightfall words
While, sapped, you lie
With weary face,
Our newborn son
Upon your breast—
	Hush, you whisper …
	He sleeps.
