Another Nobody
Needlessly needling me
Getting my goat
Enraging me
Resulting in Chaos!...

Halloween
Happy pumpkins
Apple dumplings
Licorice sticks
Lollipops to lick
Owls hooting
Witches looting
Emerald city dreams
Every Halloween
Needling together fun things...

The Scent
He had left but left
his scent wafting in the room
Needling loneliness
In fathomless crimson cloud
Remembering the pink touch

Grey Fabric
Clouds follow black clouds
Are after some blue and pink
On a grey fabric
You are needling dream applique
With your melancholy breaths

Nuisance
Nosy and bothersome
Nagging Nelly nit picked
needing to meddle, with
nary a thought, as if
nothing could prevent her
nonstop, needling tongue from
notable annoyance.

4 Single Dads
Sun rays slide across your face
Inviting silhouette artistic shades of love
Needling fingers plats a braid
Girl dad doing her hair not a fad
Little rituals she enjoys
Emerald ribbons matching joy
Doing all tasks of mom
And those of a daddy
Definitely a hero to your kids...

One Person
woven into the threads of life
we lapse into one another
strain by strain we wiggle loose
shedding ourselves free
we are each ourselves and no other
alone we strive to belong
needling our way back into the blend
connected together by love and faith
security is a warm blanket
humanity is one person...

On Tangled Web
Ink,
you haunt
ghastly night
like tangled web ~
needling my fingers on blank of pages:
Knotted lines dangle through mind’s labyrinth
until words pour ~
from cracked quill
spilling
blots

Signals
That prowess not exact
mishandling of intent, the wayward stack
taught needlessly, the childish empathy's intact
does meddle, muddle, and retract!
The wisdom of concern does counteract
the concentrated effort, closes lack
dissension in its needling, signals act
while consternation's rendering, faces fact!...

Frosted Freedom
Jonquils, whispering in icy shadows,
Argue with January’s chill
Needling her about her coldness.
Upstart prisoners plotting a breakout
Always alert to a break in her façade
Resist complacency’s weakness
Yearn to mimic the sun’s majesty.

Script Writer vs Poet
You capture me with your radiant smile
Hearty bold laugh impassive and vexing
Little grey hairs in your barely there beard
Needling your chocolate chin for years
Your artistic style and fashion sense
In a suit that could pay purple rent
Of course you write and to my delight
You include me in the story of your life...

After a Long Time
I can't find words to rhyme,
My thoughts are rusty
My pen covered in grime.
The flow is frosty,
Warmth been a long time
Silence at estuary
Vaporizing what does remain
Needling through the ocean
I endeavour to stitch
A tapestry of emotions
Beautiful and rich.
Mused lines, camouflaging
To string in chord
With the pursuer's tuning....

Listen
So as deaf to spacious loitering's retried,
that circulations needling, so bona fide
does penetrate my nerve to cause deride
monopolizing cost and courage stride!
Do listen not, to reach my own confide,
a self, an understanding of my chide.
Yet duldrum's ceaseless wavering
does beg its pride -
In repetitious floundering
destroys times guide!...

Firsts
Grief comes,settles in the veins
And then come the firsts
Needling it to rise and erupt
Crash and clamor
First time as I land and inhale
The air of my land
Will it feel arid and alien
Without your breath mixed in it?
First time my sallow eyes
Searching for a glimpse of you
In the collage of faces
Known and Unknown

Gershon’s Pen
Gifted golden pen drenched in
Emerald emancipating elegance
Regal red reverie so daring
Sending me singing thinking or dreaming
Humble humorous and socially conscious
Onyx thoughts that hold on to us
Needling patches together so clever
Souls fed by his poetic endeavor
Praying for peace with pen
Engaging his fellow men
Noble and kind gentleman...

Dour Ferris Wheel Rondine
Dour ferris wheel, are you haunted?
Dark a place to sit peacefully,
enjoy a spell if you’re lonely;
Disguised cloaked in what I wanted,
my insecurities flaunted;
False eyes like you understood me;
Dour ferris wheel
everything inside you taunted;
Needling me repeatedly
low lights glow spectacularly;
Your gloom never left me daunted,
Dour ferris wheel....

Definitely Not
Discouraging others
Expecting instant respect
Fingering a bad guy
Imagining worst scenario
Negating someone’s accomplishments
Irritating people in a mean way
Tasting caviar
Eating slimy oysters
Laughing at a person’s misfortune
Yelling about people I have never met
Needling a nefarious never-do-well-er
Ostracizing an ostrich
Tackling a Tiger...

Prickly Pear
Your love, like cactus fruit
its tiny teeth sharp and taunting,
needling the flesh of my soul
you hide behind bold hues
and a spiny point of view,
failing your tenderness
but there's nothing sweeter in nature,
I've tasted its core,
my tongue dribbling succulent sips
of slipped slurs and
sappy sentiments
so I will gather myself beneath moonlight
and pluck petty prickles,
like a woman stupid in love...

Delete, Delete, It's Not
Delete, Delete, It’s Not!
I picked a poem from a poetic past,
Self-pity, lost love, and dramatic,
Pressed the keys that shared it with the present,
And then, and then
There came a needling wheedling finger point,
“Your ego is in the way” it said
“Someone will be saddened by your words,”
“Not impressed,” a dread, and
This dark feeling pressed on my mind,
My experience could be best forgot, and
Not taint the mind of another, and so
Delete, delete, it’s not!...

Dramatic Verse
Rostrevor
Winter brims
over bouldered ground
above Rostrevor.
Louring skies meld
blue lough to green forest.
Needling wind keens
through raftered bones,
once homes,
hewn from ancient granite.
Mourne claims her own,
over and over,
defeating generations.
Hasp and staple,
galvanised against the sleekit mist,
defend rude-lintelled doors.
Who comes?
Only ghosts of emigrants,
wraiths of mountainy men
whose quick selves
coaxed poor life
from pale, barren hills
above Rostrevor....
