Musky Secrets
Death carried in hand,
Abdomen painted in red;
Black widows command.

The Widow
Though suffering shadows
my memory never shallows
my husband past memory follows
As his body swallows
through the earth, his house gallows
And forever as widows...

Veiled Silence
Mourning her lover
She wore the black widows weeds
Yet remembered when,
Life was a dismal affair.
Used and bruised like a crushed leaf.

For John Freeman: Godly Limerick
Look at me; I am so successful!
I am nothing save for Jesus' blood!
Have no god before Me
Love God first then your neighbor
If you love Me, serve widows and orphans....

The Many Widows Have a Lock On They Mouth
The many widows have a lock on they mouth,
The reason for widowhood will be deep hide.
The killer helped ms Smith this position allowed,
And for ms Jones helped just a dose cyanide....

winds wicked ways
wind-up women's wear 
winsome whispers woo
wine, walks, waltzes, white weddings, whoosh
winters' wearisome wars with warmth 
winnow weathered warriors, widows weep...

Listen to poem:
I understand now
why widows
and widowers
let themselves
wither away

crossing the bridge
to choose joy
is a most
treacherous
journey

Mrs. Elinor Roosevelt championed society's outcasts
Asians, widows, orphans, blacks -- all those downcast
   Yet as six million perished in World War Two
   She refused to speak up for a single Jew...

Premium Member Waving Wily
When winsome women wiggle while walking,  
workman will whistle wolfishly, wailing words
wrought with washroom wit. Whilst waylaid wives wince,
wizened widows wink, waving wily.

Very Better Carry
Very Better Carry

When I feel comfortable and it is very,
Practice and notes much better carry;
Pleasant, perfect cure,
And be sure to endure;
Will make widows and orphans feel merry.

The Widows Mite
The Vicar’s sermon 
Frank and forthright
Raised the question
Of the widows mite

Quite unnecessary
In my humble view
Because in our parish
There are only two
And I know for a fact
That they both do...

A Lesson Queerly Learned
Silky white, pink-tinted petals pushed by dreaded zephyr
They brush against cheeks; comfort sensually skinned
Delicate, freshly bloomed, fall like widows who have wept
I should too if not for ignorance willfully kept...

Premium Member The Five Star Banana Band
The five star dog banana band is coming up the road.
It includes widows and orphans and a bald man so bold.
They screech out their truth.
Louder than Grandma Ruth.
Listening to their crazy harmonies never gets old....

Thanksgiving
Tender moments, God's grace
Little hand in mine
God lets us care for the children
while we are here to
Teach them the right way-
Serve God, value others, 
Care for the orphans and widows.


Thank you God for my son!!...

Open Windows
Blindly, she does not know.
Feelings has been stomped then grown.
Soul searching - open widows. 

Trance, now so confused.
Time has not fixed but now has used.

Lost everything precious.
In my world of greatest affection....
