E Hector Poem
Poetry is my palette.
I slowly draw my words,
whispered first on the paper,
then chosen they are heard!
I read them over and over,
and listen if the beat is tight,
that the verse and the structure are in tune,
and that the meaning is just right.
I paint my picture carefully.
My words are colors true.
It is my heart’s desire,
to share my life experiences with you.
With every printed syllable,
with every pause and word,
with every carefully placed punctuation,
I hope my voice is heard.
I know when I have left this world,
my palette will remain.
My hope is that I am remembered,
by this, my last refrain.

E Hector Poem
Santa, can you bring me a long forgotten smile?
Santa, can you bring me the happiness of a child?
Santa, can you just hold my hand and walk with me awhile?
Down memory lane we’ll wander, while Christmas dreams do rush,
Past our empty nested homes, we’ll whisper in a hush.
Please help me to remember those years of tinsel past,
When our homes were filled with happy cheers,
We always thought would last.
When getting ‘wakened early on Christmas morn,
Brought them peeking ‘round the stairs,
And the pitter patter of little feet was something we once shared.
Santa, can you make a snowflake fall gently upon my nose?
Can you bundle me up so warm, in all my winter clothes?
Can you take me sledding down the hill at North Side park?
Santa, can you please bring back just a tiny Christmas spark?
Can we unwrap some laughter and some extra fuzzy hugs?
I’ll help you warm the cocoa in some extra jumbo mugs!
If you could help me bring back some forgotten memories
I made a promise to the Christ child I’d drop down to my knees.
I’ll say a prayer for Christmas peace and lend a helping hand,
And ride around the globe with you tonight with a message for this land.
Cherish each day as it happens,
put anger and sadness aside,
with the Christ child in the manger,
is where happiness resides.
Santa, I want to say thank-you for bringing me Christmas cheer.
Jesus, I want to say thank-you for calming all my fears.

E Hector Poem
The house was bedecked in orange and black,
the costumes all ready the candy all stacked.
The children were anxious,
eyes painted and masked.
The ghosts came floating,
I was aghast.
From all different directions,
they came screeching past.
So loud and so quick !
They came at me so fast !
I wanted to run,
to get away from it all !
But it was only the children,
from the Halloween Ball.
+
The ghosts and the goblins are running the show.
The trickers and treaters are here now you know.
The mystery of darkness, the howl of the night.
The shroud of ghoulishness causes the fright.
The harvest of souls out of the tomb,
Out of the darkness, out of the womb.
All Hallows Eve on the horizon.
Nightfall, night watch, how surprising !
Pumpkins aglow, witches alight.
Bats fly by, what a spooky sight !
Spiders and webs and monsters and such,
I bet you couldn't tell
that I like Halloween very much !
