peacemaker held off,
let them fight, that's what kids do.
I'll back the winner,
demand a truce, when it's done.
peace will rise from the ashes
POND QUEEN
Ducks may rule the pond,
but there's a lily pad throne
where a queen frog sits.
while rock-throwing kids scare ducks,
the frog queen quietly sits there:-
childhood memories
kids life is so much easy
so precious recalls
as the time goes by, marches
"a shame we have to grow up"!
Inspired by Tom Cunningham.
nicknames for three kids
Perky Pink, Road Runner and
Sailor Girl. in blink
of eye, gone and forgotten
will they even remember
how first i saw them
in hawaiian paradise
personalities
between Pearl Harbor sailing
and home life with pen in hand
a real pen not much
time to let ink imagine
with work and salutes
pretty and cute and active
might kids care to find
the scrawls of my heart
and penmanship less shaky
would the nuns be proud
in true days of motherhood
hug poems for my trio
I: ? Resolve
kids all playing ball
old friends laughing of old times
couples holding hands
a lone man sits wandering
face dried of tears dons a smile
II: ? Resolve
white black gray gloaming
sepulchral downpour stormy
amorphous rainbow
hospitals overflowing
clans gangs groups leagues board news crew
III: ? Resolve
days they brought the guns
feeds the rich buries the poor
days they brought roses
scriptures says rumors of war
news media says the same
my kids once called me
the walking problem solver
~ I am the problem
they are to resolve ~ failure
I lose ~ objectives they win
took them to the breast
fed them with love…tenderness
joy in triplicate
they won’t remember kindness
so private and personal
with kids of their own
milk flows to their very bones
bare naked to wise
a grown woman’s pure pleasure
and a husband’s jealousy
My nephew Sammy
is sweet, smart, and talented.
Three dogs are his “kids”
whose ears get dyed cute colors.
They go everywhere with him.
My nephew came out
about the fact he is gay
on his Facebook page.
I’m sure his announcement was
was no surprise to anyone!
lala land’s not Word
Job had his share of problems
emotions full blast
lost his kids, cattle, health…hence
his wife and friends made things worse
gratefulness is found in the midst of gorillas - hammering the chest
The simplicity
Unlocked windows... unlocked doors
Kids playing outside
Old school rhythm and blues groove
The community village
a strange sort of flow
comes with thoughts of long ago
spews a welcome glow
nostalgia may just soothe
when mixed with lies and half-truths
Hitler and his ilk
less troublesome than spilled milk
like Wendell Wilkes
slavery a slight bother
endorsed by founding fathers
a happy nation
few trials or tribulations
add more misinformation
ignore racial injustice
force the children to trust us
all Greenwood flattened
pretend it never happened
let's not be saddened
forget all those starved and bruised
that story is over used
no big mystery
we’ll sugar coat history
practice sophistry
let's deny the Holocaust
past transgressions should be lost
need new set of rules
ensure what is taught in school
makes nation look good
our kids do not need to know
repeating the past brings woe
too-da-loo Christmas
two kids in tow Buffalo
grandpa won’t be there
left the gifts in Poughkeepsie
where faerie lights will not glow

rushed into action
ringing in our ears— Oh dear!
reactionary
reapplication of clothes
our rearing of kids over?

years old microphones
grown kids ~twenty years~ bereaved
tapping tacit tears
beat hours beat ~TAPS~ trumpet tase
seared seats for the fallen’s kin

In my early youth,
I could buy some cigarettes
at the corner store.
My late aunt smoked L&Ms.
I bought with no questions asked.
Kids can't buy today.
Store owners say "Go Away".
No cig sales for you.
Stores would be breaking the law
if they sell to underaged.
