Dylan Thomas. Silvia Plath and Edgar Allen Poe     These are names      That we all know    Fought their demons     All their lifes     A pen in their hand     To give them advice     Does the pain go away     When the words are put down     In for a penny     In for a pound     Only their ghosts     Can shed the light     All the heartache     Was it worth the fight...

Queen Bee

Buzz, buzz, buzz... 
Great Queen, I hear your song. 
Making honey with your workers... all night long. 
Sweet nectar of the forest, sweet liquid sugar of life, 
teased away from the flowers, one soft petal at a time. 

Ever their grip tight, upon the gift of the maker, 
the honey, the golden reward, of a life well planned, 
and shared... among friends, 
that dare to harvest it....

A Guest

Little tiny mouse, 
why are you in my house? 
Out the back door, 
there are fields aplenty. 
Down by the creek,
there is water, afresh. 
In the corn crib, 
there is more to eat. 
In the barn,
there is more to do. 
Adventures abound... 

Here there is only our home. 
We must protect it from you. 
Small mouse, get out... 
of my house. 
I did not invite you in, 
and you are not allowed to stay. 
No way!...

Untitled 

Every heart felt typed word I send out
 to the lazy technology had become angry wine.
I don’t blame, for my one room is made
 of old stained  glass a tap could break.
No clever posted quotes of the dead 
on books of faces will forgive the day
 I slipped to green eyes someday
Silvia like -she keeps the oven door open
 inhaling  deep the slow kill till sleep 
With each gray whisker count rises
 my truth wants to stop pursuit of forever
To be honest about companionship....
