She only shows up on Halloween
Who was he speaking of? The Halloween queen?
A faerie? A brownie? A vixen, gremlin, ghoul or ghost?
He flew off on a broom, leaving her to worry the most.
my favorite tv shows are competitive singing shows
I recognize almost no songs because I do not sing
It feels strange even to me
but these shows hold me hostage
I am fascinated by the enthusiasm
the competitive banter of the judges
seeing who the winners choose for their coach
My favorites rarely get top prize
Two of them were Adam Lambert and Jesse Blaze Snyder
I thought they both earned the win
These two are my favorites years later
I binge watch TV shows
with characters that I like
seasons one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight
If I get impatient, I will run down to season eight ahead of time
Watch the last show
then I will know if the rest of them are worth my time
Seventy five millions and later
She finds no soul at the theatre.
A flop show at its worst,
Rebuff, Trump bubble burst,
Not whatso getting any better.
Money buys no prestige
Nor status builds a bridge
What else when ego bloats, gets fatter.

Note: Trump might go down the history as the most hated president. He is hated not only world over, but in his own country as well. Note this: Out of $ 75 million Amazon paid (40 for the rights, plus 35 for the marketing blitz) for the documentary on Melania Trump, is expected to fetch hardly one million. It sold just one ticket in hundred cinemas across UK.
When visiting my older aunt,
We sit and watch TV.
When she’s alone she does this,
But it’s not the same for me.
So I was not familiar with
Shows like “Let’s Make a Deal”
Or “Wheel of Fortune,” which to many
Really do appeal.
It seems that the contestants must
Be smiley, showy, loud
And enthusiastic to a point
Of which I’d not be proud.
The audience is into it -
They clap and whoop and cheer,
As grinning hosts might wonder
How they made this their career.
Yet all these shows are popular,
Which doesn’t shock me much,
But makes me see how with this country
I am out of touch.
tv shows about coroners are popular now
they followed on the heels of forensic experts
I am fascinated by autopsies and the morgue
Not that I would ever want to be in one
Of course I will eventually
George Galloway, does his re-search is
Passionate..I beleive 'for open fair debate''
I see some things he articulates that i do not agree with..Yet how can faults be corrected? With closed minds.' Closed narratives.? Insofar as his willingness to
Engage with real events.' And to admit if he
Realises he has reported an error.' I find no
Fault there..So I hope you who read my posts.' And I am sure there are some.' Might go to ( you-tube) and see what you
Gather.? I post this to be of service to free
Speech, even though it be the very least..I
Hope? its a counter..To the (false prophet and beast')
Reality is coming.
Don't you hear its wings, a-thrumming?
When prosperity smiled
on the people of the Nile
and there was bread and onions
no Calvins, Luthers, Bunyans
could disrupt the daily toil
to sell them snake oil,
but the workers in crisis
are sure to turn to Isis.
totem poles, Superbowls, Beyonce Knowles
cellphones ring tones Alex Jones
will-they-fire-us, Covid virus, Miley Cyrus
How long can you keep
them walking in their sleep?
In the watches of the night,
don't you sometimes take fright
when you think how it will end,
the day they comprehend?
Rand Paul, Fawn Hall, Rollerball
go-fasters, phony pastors, US Masters
shock jocks, Redsox, Amanda Knox
During the investors' meeting,
don't you hear those wings, a-beating?
In English tv shows, people can be thick
In USA the casting director would feel sick
Heavy people stumbling all over the screen
Some rotund and Rubenesque as a giant bean
sun now goes to bed,
sky shows pretty shades of pink,
a sight to behold.
I like predictable tv shows
Colombo always followed the perpetrator
In Death in Paradise the inspectors solve every case
Someone on the stand confesses in every Perry Mason episode
Harvey Korman always falls on his butt on the Carol Burnett Show
No matter who the Equalizer is, he or she fixes everything for a good guy
John Wayne always beat the bad guys in every movie
Until The Cowboys when he was murdered by Bruce Dern
I never liked Bruce Dern after that
And I never watched another John Wayne movie
I like predictable movies too
Before suns were born
I lay in void of darkness
worlds slept in my veil
then light fired from a word's mouth
I was driven to the edge
now I walk behind
following you like a dog
fugitive from light
I compile dark thoughts in shade
knowing you won't look my way.
I am what light shuns
what the stars can never burn
what sticks onto you
when you embrace me at night
to dream our dark thoughts alone
ROSE-COLORED GLASSES
“When you think about a show that you used to watch as a kid or as a teenager, you look at it through sort of rose-colored glasses…”Jordana Brewster

In memory’s soft glow,
the TV screen flickers alive,
time stretches like taffy,
the theme song lingers, a melody
transporting me through the portal of childhood.
The laughter of a cartoon,
the adventure of a western,
the wisdom of a sitcom,
a sprinkle of magic dust,
and suddenly, the mundane was extraordinary.
In the sepia tones of nostalgia,
I find a bittersweet truth:
the rose-colored glasses
tint the past with warmth,
softening the edges of reality.
those moments, though fleeting,
are the roots of who I am,
the laughter still lingers,
and the magic?
It lives on, like a rerun.
mysteries are all over the internet
these stories have been popular for decades
I rarely watch a mystery show twice
I never read a mystery novel a second time
after knowing who did it and how they did it, what would be the point?
headstrong Bogong moths
