On Thanksgiving I ate hardly anything 
Some sliced turkey and a spoonful of nothing 
My appetite was killed 
When my dear wife had spilled 
All the gravy for the turkey and stuffing

A Spoonful of Sugar

"A Spoonful of Sugar"


Upon waking
the green hangover
hangs low waiting 
for the weeding

the alarm sounds
like thunder 
the cats on the prowl
they’re hungry

the words 
spill out of my mouth
like a spoonful of sugar
stirred into a deep cup 

of strong black coffee

my cup runneth over
anything for a new world
me thinks the pen 
not a play thing 

swords are

Premium MemberOne More Spoonful

on a hot summer afternoon,
dreaming silently, wistfully, achingly…

a frosty dish, glistening…
chilled by the freezer cold
ice cream, blended with heart shaped
scarlet strawberries, sweet
silhouettes of promises…

scrumptiousness sliding over my tongue
making me sigh, breathless
as the whisper of soft white clouds
gliding through a smiling azure sky…

giggling, laughing, delighting
in the luscious beads of satisfaction
bleeding joy from my dish,
awakening my heart…
dancing

Spoonful of Rice

(This is a universal story of mother’s sacrifice for their children, be it material, emotional, or intellectual.)


It was during the Korean War
Father was taken away by the Communists
Months ago
He never returned

Mother and I were left alone
In an island as refugees
Without anyone supporting us

One day
Mother brought a cup of rice
For me to eat
Only three spoonful
In the

A Spoonful of Snow

No spoonfuls of snow for Christmas,this simply can't be 
I scattered some fake stuff among the Christmas tree 
Used fake cans of snow on all of the window panes 
No spoonfuls of snow for Christmas is driving me insane 
Where oh where is that beautiful blanket of white?
For Christmas I need my winter wonderland delight
Not

Big things in small packages, so goes the phrase
       And astounding, a spoonful of snow, in such ways

A thousand frost miracles, and identical, none
       Innumerable prisms making rainbows from sun

Each with its detail of wonders, unique
       Chilled

Premium MemberA Spoonful of Snow

Dash of snow flutters to the ground
And lands O  gently all around;
White as velvet quilt of feather
To drift  upon Yule's iced heather:
Bare now after Queen Winter's hand
Covering lanes from bright hues grand;
Which transforms the pines with finesse
And silver stars of gracefulness.

Yet night gleams through crystals  so bold
Adorning roofs.... bright joys enfold;
O pearled

A Spoonful of Snow

We scratched and scrapped and piled it together,
thin as cobwebs, like molted bird feathers,
spread out on the frozen lawn,
a gossamer frosting in early dawn,
a meager, stingy December snow,
hardly enough to foster a glow
from the Christmas lights candycane twirled
about the evergreen swags softly whirled.

A new sled from Santa's gift giving
was mine to enhance childhood living!
Why he

Premium Member'a Spoonful of Snow'

Oh, Christmas Day is creeping up on us,
my decorations sure do look lovely;
on my street the blinking lights are breathless,
   I sure do love Christmas;
but, I need some white stuff called snow, badly!

All the leaves have fallen to their demise,
     the trees are bare but the grass is green;
on

My long wait is over, the Christmas time is here
The northern wind blows chill in thin December air
Fading glow of frosty days freezes in the icy nights 
Fir trees sparkle as stars descend with their lights.

With warmth of log-fire in heart I hail the holy night
On branches of decorated tree my joy shines bright
Serene sound
