And some unknown.

floating over the forest trees

as he floated past
a shadow he cast
I promptly yelled “put down your knees!”

To see you smile
I want to cry
As day by day

You stuck out your tongue
Opened your big blue eyes

While making car noises

Meet Your New Nephew

Dearheart
You precious little thing
Tiny in my arms
Small and fragile
I think I’ve met you somewhere before
There is a quiet knowing between us
An unspoken bond
Hello old friend
It’s nice to see you again

Your Mother

The women who you call your mother 
She is not necessarily the same for me 
I am her faithful brother –in- law 
So by the relation i am your lovely uncle
And you are my cute nephew 
Please, don’t ask me to worship her.

.

         Behold a poet
rebounding yet again from
         another death

    Nephew to the poet

             die he did
                "once" 
         Saith Yahweh

          Never again"

piggy bank

I have a piggy bank
That I started one
Month go
For my nephew
To go to university
The university is very expensive
I mean the fee
It will be cheaper to
Start a piggy bank
There I will have enough money
To pay for his university

Three strangers visited me today, 
each one a little sadness in their eyes
nephew, niece, a wife is who they say.
I stare while faces say their short goodbyes.

Fresh strangers will later bring me tea
and tell me that my name is Rosalee.

haiku or sen'ryu series

I
first son, not me
he hated my wife, educated
younger Raj to shine

II
month in this exile
Raj rescued my hopes
nieces, nephew, Nadz

III
a tribute as I go
to teach, preach - Africa -
needs Jesus, morals

Premium Member Frightening the Jack O Lanterns

Frightening witches are scary, ghost and ghouls are all a wreck.
Horrible gargoyles and vampires will bite your little neck.
My four-year-old nephew shushed me. I thought what the heck?
You are scaring the jack-o-lanterns," He said. “Stop Uncle Beck!"

Snow

the snow is nice and cool
when there is a lot I stay home from school
tubing with my brother, 
getting yelled at for it by my mother
making snowmen with my nephew 
if I stay out to long I turn blue
the snow glistens in the sun,
Oh isn't winter fun

Shipbuilder's Nephew

shipbuilder’s nephew




. . . . flotsam and jetsam of culture 
drifted and piled haphazard 
a finger-drawn life structure 
while all the smells of fish and wrack
and shipwrecks linger anew
around this jumbled stack
a shipbuilder’s nephew . . . .

To My Nephew Hunter

Loving sighs and lullabies and kissing you goodnight

Loving you as you love me and keeping you in sight

Gum in hair and spilled milk scares

and teaching you to turn on the light

My bond with you means so much, 

yet I've run out of things to write.

Nineteen Going on Twenty

Time to still do plenty,
Mind again empty,
Ready for a new chapter,
To replace the old chatter,
With renewed laughter,.

Years to come plenty,
To embrace a new more Fun identity,
Despite an unhinged society.

For my troubled great great nephew. penned in 2025

Premium Member My Favorite Nephew

My nephew Sammy
is sweet, smart, and talented.
Three dogs are his “kids”
whose ears get dyed cute colors.
They go everywhere with him.

My nephew came out
about the fact he is gay
on his Facebook page.
I’m sure his announcement was
was no surprise to anyone!

See Me

Can you see me?
Skin dark,
Eyes brown,
Blood Red
Anger has shown.
I am someone's
Son, nephew, grandchild
Even in a world so cruel
Where violence is everywhere.

Can you see me?
A man with a heart
Not my skin color
Or my class
But see me as a human being.
