Octopus Limerick
A sailor one day, while out sailing
Thought he heard someone screaming and wailing
The source of the shout
As he later found out
Was an octopus tied to the railing...

sits on the porch railing now
no one dares move it
grandma put it there you see

remembering her sweet smile
each time we pass that tin can...

Holiday
Holiday is ringed gay with lights.
Niose-shook, for a marquee
Of lawn-pitched attractions.
No dull railing girts it. A place
In time joy-bounced, by whim's
Un-school-like persuasions....

Standing on the 'Y' mountain, our arms folded over the railing
My father and I staring down at the college of my dreams
Wishing, praying fervently that my dream of dreams will come true...

Did Have Delightful Dream
Did Have Delightful Dream
One day we did have a delightful dream;
Treat God as almighty and so supreme;
You are not failing;
Falling from railing;
Our choir sings His music to the extreme.

Why Is That Knife There
Why is a knife on my porch railing?
I stare at it.
Daring it to tell me how it got here.
The knife is silent.
A red switchblade knife.
It looks ominous; it seems threatening.
It stares me down. I can barely take my nap.
It has won....

Staircase
(For Nette Onclaud's "Visions of a Vignette 2" contest)
(dated 23.06.2025)
I climb
spiraling steps
with gold railing,
huge stairs reaching heaven,
(like angels in Jacob's dream)
bound upward...

Road Rage
Roaring round roads raucously
Orally overtly offending operators
Acrid antagonistic adjectives aired
Defiantly daring distracted drivers
Ranting raving railing
Aggravate annoy atrocious
Gregarious gone Goebbels
Exacerbate engage enrage...

Window View
a quick glimpse of something
I run to get a closer look
red cardinal on railing
eyeing cat's kibble on porch table
dribble of rain smears the view
grass wears green brilliantly
lone sunshine yellow soldier of daffodil
April smiles at me through her showers...

A Ladder Appears
Stuck on the broken landing
Of a stairway to nowhere
My mood no longer elevated
My spirit remiss of song
Looking over the railing
Into a history that I buried
A ladder appears above me
But when I step—its rungs are gone
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)...

Painting
There she stands,
With her fingers on the railing.
She's holding onto it
As if she only had this chance.
She looks out
Into the distance
Longing for an answer
To a question
She does not know
To her,
She simply exists
And she doesn't know how to deal with it....

A Sentimental Journey Gone Wrong
a sentimental journey
childhood memories
laughed at, spit upon
rolled down the alley of make believe
the porch railing
I thought was thirty foot tall
for almost twenty years
is barely three feet off the ground
wish I had never come back
to take a look at our old porch....

Little Jimmy
He's made fun of for the last time.
Tied a rope up.
Walking through the halls of high school.
The rope is swinging from the stairwell.
He jumped on the railing, Head inside the rope loop.
He jumps and gets choked.
That was in 1930.
He was never nerdy.
He just wanted to be FREE....
