Merry Christmas

The little former
fledgling
led me on a
cat and mouse
through the trees
and to his house
there
by the moonlight
gave me a nightcap
for Christmas
and bade me
goodnight.

Premium Member Rubies and Crows

Three crows pecked away the heart rubies
from an ice cream coned childhood dream.
When the crows weren't gorging and preening 
They'd layer black caw over all of the sweet dream.

These three hags, and I, have grown old and bitter together.
Forever taunting from ruby-stained beaks.

I don feathers from a fractured past.
Minted as trophies atop a foamy nightcap.

A Dreamy Night

a dreamy night

I remember the nights beginning
a smooth taste  
strong nightcap 
to take the edge off

a sip of the joy juice 
bitter on the tongue
takes the pain by the throat
kepted at bay until morning

there's a lot to talk about
not much remembered
abundance of hearty laughter 
over everything said and done

I awake at dawn
measuring foggy thoughts
peering through cloudy scenes
from the night before
