A Spoonful of Nothing
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

One 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

A Spoonful of Snow
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

A 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

'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

A Spoonful of Snow
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
