Premium Member when I die

When I die
Will my children have a sale
Or a fire?

A sale is a lot of work
I keep this to myself
Not caring really


Kids

boys
             tussle, roll
          pierce in pace
       toy-cycle in hand
                 lads

Teach Your Son First

Teach me not-

Mouths of my children how to shut,

See first your's improved a lot,

Fired a D-law at her M-law a shot!

A Mother's Longing

Dreaming loudly seen
In summer grass now empty 
My children playing

When my children all were near…
In my eggnog drips a tear.

And as I wander toward my grave

Premium Member lingering imprint

my imprint in life
eighty percent water
white pale freckled skin
pink lips
green eyes
two legs
two arms
my dna passed on to my children
creating an imprint

and gaze into your eyes

To hear your voice within my ears
—I’ll text you when I die

I leave my mark
In two forms
paintings and poetry

Others leave novels
I leave short stories
not caring if I am compared

My children haven’t read my poems

My Children My World

Mischievous smile
It makes me laugh

Cheeky grin
It makes me chuckle

Innocent stare
It makes me wonder

Excited eyes
Makes me beam

This is my world
My children

drink my creamy dream

eat my children between fat-bread

Stulted pedantic canker-bloom
Your bird-plucked eyes
will gas-up and advertise

Premium Member For My Children

May you reach
some of your goals,
but may a few remain
beyond your grasp.
For in striving
and failing 
and keeping on, 
keeping on,
we find that
which is truly precious.
