Oh! Dear Gawd!

Mom looks through windows
A watched pot will never boil
A daughter's courtship

At the Point of Departure

A wall holds a bright white clock,
Five minutes tick to breach the span.
Time is relative only to breathing,
While immortality strives to live.

I rise from the depths of pain,
In fragrant mist of triumph.
The room unfolds behind me,
Where flesh obliges morbid death.

In parting, I reap one last glance,
To those that begrudge my leaving.
I bend to wipe their cheeks from tears,
As their souls churn in saddened anguish.

My spirit trembles between sorrow and joy,
Being pulled by love from earth and heaven.
Then, the time is marked upon the doctor’s chart,
Releasing me to my glorious eternal departure.

Of Butterflies

Butterfly wings a-flutter upon the current of life
Carried to fields of milkweed feasts
Colors blending amongst the flowers
Beauty dies to metamorphous

(Truth endures the time)

Cocoon-wrapped fragility
Births forth the new generation
The cycle of hope remains intact
And I stand in awe of such mystery

Day of Reckoning

One summer hot, 
clear day,
It was time to deal with dirty laundry.
In silence,
with a countenance of stone,
unrevealing deep emotions,
things of necessity were done.
She hung bleached-white sheets 
out on the line to dry,
then, turning to him,
her iron will broke,
storm clouds rose,
her eyes accused,
yet, all she could say was;
“Don’t leave.”

Found fossils render knowledge

A Kitty-Cat Poem

.

Kitty, kitty in my chair,
Sitting there so debonair.

Black cat with shiny eyes,
To cross your path could be unwise.

Playful feline pounces fast,
Jump on people walking past.

Tabby teases a little mouse,
Tauntingly throughout the house.

Oh! Of cats what can I say?
They prowl at night and sleep all day.

Halloween Limerick Contest

There once was a lady named Queen
That loved going out on Halloween
She’d give the kids a fright
That lasted more than a night
With ghostly looks and lips of green

There Once Was a Woman From Japan

There once was a woman from Japan
She went by the name of Faye-Lynn
A ninja with beauty
To kill was her duty
Her weapon was seduction of man

Stan's Not Taking Anymore Dares

There once was a man named Stan
That made a daredevil plan
His skydiving date
The chute opened late
Hungry gators called their clan
