It sure got hotter
Around the teeter totter
When Peggy Potter
The teacher’s daughter
Flipped a finger
At Suzie Saucer
And her mother saw her...

The family is a chain
That is all linked together.
No one is left out
We all look to each other.
When the link is broken
And one walks away
The family is destroyed 
And it usually stays that way.

Whistle... and I'll come to you...
Through the sea, across the land

And with my mittens, 
Warm your hand



[Inspired by reading "S.O.S. Titanic" by Eve Bunting. Read it to see.
This is dedicated to them, it is not a poem from me to anyone else.]...

She wandered into the smog and found a mansion all haunted and hearty.
It was beleaguered by ghosts named Ted, Peggy, Janet and Marty.
They were on fire with craziness, having a fabulous Halloween party.
She said I am so glad I was given this address by my friend, Mrs. Tarty....

When I ride my tricycle
With Daddy in the park
We take our dog Peggy
Because she likes to run and bark

She chases all the squirrels
And wags her tail at other dogs
Then she is yucky and sniffs the smells
Left on grass and logs

And when it’s time for us to go
She trots along beside
But she sometimes goes in my basket
And just enjoys the ride...

Crystal dewdrop jewels pendent from leafless Hawthorne
over snowdrop pearls and early golden buds of daffodil.
A blackbird upon Sparrow, Peggy Gladys does adorn,
while morning light accentuates the name of Mitchell, Bill.
I look behind, my footsteps in the dew a path have worn,
past Throwers by the row, as well as Bunting, Jane. Stowe, Daniel....

she's dress with flair and fun
in a red floral dress,
petticoat and finesse,
shoes color of the sun

she gathers up her dress,
he loosen his necktie
feel the music and fly
to 1950's success

toe tapping Summertime Blues,
and sweet Peggy Sue, chill
to slow Blueberry Hill,
fast pace Tutti Frutti, and booze

Just bought a plot of land, it’s a surprise 
for my wife, somewhere she can exercise,
as soon as the deeds are finalised, ready
I’ll pack her cases, loves traveling does Peggy,
so when she’s settled I will join her there
in the circumstances I think that’s only fair
I’ve sprang the surprise, she’ll be gone soon
hope she enjoys it on the dark side of the moon.

With only twelve notes
the music commands
Some white and some black
their harmony grand 

Scoring the melody
eternal and free
Whether Quincy or Frank,
Prince, Peggy, or me

Heaven the audience
 Angels out front
Truth for a drummer
Sandalphon conducts

All time in abeyance
the chorus in song
Both gates swinging open
—the silence is gone  

(The New Room: April, 2023)...

Peggy Anderson, what can I do
I've tried all evening to get through to you.
I loved your poem about your friends 
And the Iron Bed is like the one I once had.

Keep up the good work 
And thanks for your nice words
On my poems My Guardian Angel
And Stubborn or Gifted.

Keep up the good work
And I'll try again 
To let you know I enjoyed 
The poems you put in.

In The Still Of The Night
Don’t Be Cruel
Gimme, Gimme Good Lovin’
That’ll Be The Day
Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye

This Magic Moment
Peggy Sue
You Really Got Me
All Shook Up
I Wonder If She Loves Me

In The Midnight Hour
Last Kiss
Never My Love
It’s Only Make Believe
Goodnight, Sweetheart Goodnight

Call It Stormy Monday
Honky Tonk Woman
You Cheated
All Summer Long
This Time (We’re Really Breaking Up)...

A piece of Peggy’s favorite
Chocolate candy fell from her
Fingertips as she was about
To put it in her waiting mouth;
It landed on the kitchen floor.
She quickly bent her head downward
While at the same time bellowed out
“5-second rule!”, then proceeded
To kneel and swiftly scooped it up
And popped it into her mouth.
The following morning Peggy
Lays quietly in a strange bed
While a nurse is taking her pulse
And the doctor enters and smiles....
