See Him

see him 
west
ahead 
faster than sun 
see you 
east
behind 
just beyond 
lengthening shadow 
stand still 
ninth hour
watching 
both ways

Direction

North, South, East, or West; to which shall it be?
Please tell me which way...to escape from me!

Call the Midwife

T’was her ninth month and early summer,
My wife said she’d heard nothing dumber,
After she had spoken,
Her water had broken...
And me ringing up for a plumber.

Getting the Ninth Right

Normally stormily		
Ludwig von Beethoven
bangs his piano, then
bangs it some more.

"Freiheit," not "Freude," is
anti-tyrannically
man’s right and duty and
that is the score!

Remembering Twenty-Ninth Morn In December

L-et me send these warm wishes
A-bout the day you were born; 
A-llow me to greet you, 
R-emembering December morn; 
N-ever will I forget twenty-ninth day
I-n earnest I have sworn.

Tone of Voice

rising from a trembling heart
sadness wells up in the vacant eyes
and the tone of voice
that never lies.

El Diablo

Speak of the devil
 he will appear
Trailing your thoughts
relining your fears

Tail of the dragon
wages of sin
Your ninth life in ashes
— fire within

MONTH NINE

September was month seven in the early Roman calendar
But was ninth after two more months that Julius Caesar added
Starting school is timely to understand and reconcile the name

First Date Footles

Love note
He wrote

First date 
Can't wait

Red rose

Wet palms
Smile calms

First kiss
Sweet bliss

The Toe Tag Generation

Its the ninth day of April
and the sixth soldier dies.
We're the toe tag generation,
dropping like house flies.
Six in nine days
yet we're all heading home.
Bonds stronger than life,
we'll never again be alone.

R-ise of the sun begins, 
E-arly twenty-ninth December;

A-re both fading away; 
J-ust let Wednesday haze pass, 
E-vading your bright birthday.

As Shadow Fades Into Gray

B-ad weather doesn't come
E-very November ninth day; 
R-ise of the beacon begins,

A-s shadow fades into
G-ray.

A-ugust twenty-ninth morn
N-ew dawn is shining bright;

I-t's a cheerful
O-ccasion.

Hearth and Mantle

Having been raised the wild
always felt awkward when asked
to praise traditions unknown.
Like my red stockings?
