My world is quite small as you can see,
holds fewer monsters that’ll scare me.
Though they’re there, under bed too,
in the mirror they see you!
~
Outside, you know, they’re everywhere.
They happily haunt without a care.
With unwanted visits, I’m never alone.
These monster’s I fear are all my own.
~
Lurking weighty on shadowy shelves,
they’re all the weaknesses of ourselves.
All reminders of what we’re not.
That’s why monsters scare us a lot

The End

Beginnings
If the week started
on Tuesday would we look
forward to Mondays?

Arguments
Arguments winners;
Often those who are loudest,
not always correct.
*
Night
All prey of the night
cling to artificial light
predators delight

I warn you now I have no clue
Where this poem is going to
Or if it is a poem at all
I can’t decide, you make the call
`
Trees fallen for me to rhyme
Till out of space, bounds, breath and time
Out to lunch and there I’ll join you
We’ll rearrange words on life’s menu
`
Time is free, food is not
Sleep spent in dollars per spot
Feet walk, wheels run
Hands make wings to the sun
`
Voices singing for all who hear
Through buds growing in the ear
Tiny wires dangle from there
Yet no-one seems to give a care
`
With tablet and Wi-Fi at the ready
Media replaced good ole teddy
Designer binkies between the lips
Smartphones at the fingertips
`
Toddlers hunched, stroller bound
Multi cup-holders and Dolby sound
Of course a visor to shield the sun
The big glowing face that was once fun
`
Now a menace to one and all
Best to stay in until the fall
When leafy suburbs bags abound
Full of leaves, once on the ground
`
Cleared from lawns to keep them green
Exchanged with poisons in-between
Until the snow, when all’s forgotten
Of summer days way back when
`
When sunny skies made all seem bright
Laughter filling playful moonlight
Now games played with only thumbs
Killing the most for the biggest sums
`
Some might win the rest will lose
Most can’t, but some will choose
Now we’ve all a choice to make
Was it ever real or just a real fake?
`
Or if it ever will be, or ever was
Or just maybe it is – just because

I’ve waited for this moment
My whole short life long
I think about her everyday
And now to write her song
.
Oh she’s my pretty baby
But she’s too nice to play
I know she’ll never love me
But I want her any way
.
She’s a curly long neck blonde
And her moans so ever sweet
When I hold her in my arms
She knocks me off my feet
.
Oh she’s my pretty baby
But she’s too nice to play
I know she’ll never love me
But I want her any way
.
I saved up all my money
I ain’t been eatin’ right
But when I cash this paycheck
I’ll be takin her home tonight
.
Oh she’s my pretty baby
But she’s too nice to play
I know she’ll never love me
But I want her any way
.
I’ve been eye’n her now for years
And she’s waited just for me
Soon we’ll slip up the backstairs
So nobody else will see
.
Oh she’s my pretty baby
But she’s too nice to play
I know she’ll never love me
But I want her any way
.
I unwrapped her very slowly
My heart picked up a beat
Now with her curves in my hands
My life now feels complete
.
Oh she’s my pretty baby
But she’s too nice to play
I know she’ll never love me
But I want her any way
.
I wrap my arms around her
I hold her real tight
When I feel her around my neck
It makes me feel just right
.
Oh she’s my pretty baby
But she’s too nice to play
I know she’ll never love me
But I want her any way
.
She tempts me oh so very much
While she sits close and still
To have her rest upon my knee
She gives me the biggest thrill
.
Oh she’s my pretty baby
But she’s too nice to play
I know she’ll never love me
But I want her any way
.
Though rarely is she picked-up
She never lets me down
She always leaves me breathless
I think I’m gonna drown
.
Oh she’s my pretty baby
But she’s too nice to play
I know she’ll never love me
But I want her any way
.
Now swaddled in golden satin
She does forever lay
Her beauty I’m unworthy
Cos she’s just too nice to play
.
Oh she’s my pretty baby
But she’s too nice to play
I know she’ll never love me
But I want her any way
.
Oh she’s my pretty baby
But she’s too nice to play
I know she’ll never love me
But I love her any way

Ever have a day when nothing goes right?
You get up late from a sleepless night.
The gray surrounds with no refrain.
The day’s chilly with dreary rain.
.
Inhale some eggs with runny yolks.
Now running behind but out of smokes,
detoured to the store to buy some more.
Rush to work, tip toe through the door.
.
But the boss is there, bad news had.
A report’s disappeared, computer’s bad.
The day runs long, no time for lunch.
Tomorrow’s the same, I’ve a hunch.
.
Then finally home but all alone.
Heat’s off and chilled to the bone.
Boiler’s ready, thermostat’s not.
Batteries needed that I forgot.
.
Hunger’s remembered, cupboards bare.
Cereal found, no milk to spare,
so half a box will have to do.
Nights half over, I’m glad it’s through.

I’ve done lots of things.
But I haven’t done them all.
There’s still much to do.
And my list isn’t small.
~
My time’s growing short.
My energy’s sinking fast.
But I’ll never quit,
as long as I can last.
~
Dawn will start my days.
I’ll survive a wingsuit flight.
Languages I’ll learn.
And songs I’d love to write.
~
I’ll sail all the seas.
But that’s gonna take a while.
For now, smaller goals,
today I’ll share some smiles.

Bubbles can be big
Bubbles can be small
Bubbles mostly clear
But not always a ball
.
From the wands of wizards
Bubbles bring much joy
From toddlers to centurions
They’re everyone’s favorite toy.
.
In tubs, ponds and pools
Bubbles can be had
Sure to bring a giggle
To the naughty and the sad
.
But when a bubble’s external
And we’re trapped within
Remember that fun is free
When it’s made with a grin

On tippy toes looking pert,
she dances in her Hogwarts shirt.
Her thick round glasses gaze my way,
she’s so darn cute in nerdy lingerie.
~
She kisses me with a smile,
I kiss her back and we giggle a while.
The music stops but we don’t care,
it’s more about the hugs that we share.
~
She wears her PJ’s when not in bed,
her hair’s always tousled on her head.
She excites me greatly every day,
with or without her nerdy lingerie.

I will be your king,
If you will be my queen.
I will be your tour guide;
we’ll go places never seen.
~
I will be your army,
when foes stand in your way.
I will be your lover,
each and every day.
~
I will be your soulmate,
holding you when you’re blue.
I will make you laugh,
it’s what best friends do.
~
I will be your everything,
we’ll never want for none.
We’ll share our tomorrows,
baby lets have our fun.

I got a writer’s block vacation journal rolled up in my pocket.
I got seven sharp new pencils.
But I know some still mock’em.
I don’t use a pen for fear that I’ll lose it.
I’m a caffeine charged frazzled poet.
And I do it all for you.
~
I got a Led Zeppelin record and I know you want to hear it.
A 3D diorama, I spend my time in it.
I got a writer’s block vacation journal rolled up in my pocket.
I thought I had some good ideas.
But I gave’em all to you
I gave’em all to you…

With nature comes peace of mind.

While riding today on my swing,
I heard a song and started to sing.
It’s an outside song, inside not heard,
beetles clicking with a chirping bird.
*
In the wood wind blows through the trees.
Back-up came from the buzzing bees.
Keeping the beat atop a log,
bass was played by a croaking frog.
*
My little dog barked but not too loud.
My kitty cat danced and meowed.
It’s nature’s band and I will sing,
soaring high on my backyard swing.

A formula for life, not yet conceived
Or perhaps it has and I’ve been deceived
Some might see a problem, puzzle or game
To integrate all sides to equal the same
.
An equation’s unsolvable when incomplete
Or the solutions wrong and we have to repeat
Though an unknown constant can be hard to tell
This constant unknown, we’ll just call “L”
.
Thus L is the constant that can’t be defined
It can’t be measured or graphed on a line
It’s totally irrational, follows no rules
It can’t be made or dissected with tools
.
It’s unquantifiable, but rarely there’s none
When completely subtracted the answer’s just one
It must be shared but not borrowed, no debtor
May not be infinite but more is better
.
When factored with care the solution’s made clear
That a theory this simple we all must share
That joy is derived when summed with above
And this constant “L” I speak, is the factor of Love

Oh no it’s Saturday!
My vacation’s nearly done.
I mostly sat around.
But I had a little fun.
~
Bird sat a parrot,
a story previously told.
Also saw my Ena,
who’s nearly two years old.
~
We got a lot of rain.
So I didn’t cut the grass.
I didn’t trim the bushes,
I gave myself a pass.
~
I didn’t do much writing,
but forced a little bit.
I called it all a journal,
thought surely not a hit.
~
Back to work on monday.
I really can’t complain.
If I had more time,
I’d probably go insane.

I went to an umbrella factory.
I’m glad it didn’t pour.
They don’t make umbrellas there,
at least not anymore.
~
There were a few gift shops,
some chickens and an emu.
The restaurant was closed,
there wasn’t much left to do.
~
But I saw my little Ena.
We had a really nice time.
We said our long goodbyes.
Then home to write today’s rhyme.

My writer’s block vacation diary
is now on day ten.
I haven’t written this much
since I don’t know when.
~
The day’s still young with lots to go
where it’ll lead I’ve no clue.
A tentative plan was hatched last night,
sounds like something new.
~
I’m waiting for confirmation
until then my time is free.
Because I’m on vacation
and freedom is as it should be.
~*~
SCK081423
Yeah, they made it, little Ena’s here!
Grandpa’s happy to see his dear.
We had a tea party, read some books,
explored all the house’s crannies and nooks.
~
We played some more then off to the tub.
Her mom takes over to scrub a-dub, dub.
We read one more book that turned into three.
Then that sleepy baby fell asleep on me.
~
We all woke today at seven o’clock.
We had some breakfast and found her sock.
Now they’re packing, then to a Pow Wow.
I wanted to go, but I’m too tired now.

A week now’s past with one to go.
What are my plans? I don’t know.
It’s Saturday and I wait for a text.
When received I’ll know what’s next.
~
I’m expecting a visit much later today.
It’s Ena, who’s two, with lots to say.
She’ll arrive with her mom in a car too small.
It had been mine but I’m too tall.
~
It’s a long drive from New York to here.
I know, I do it ten times a year.
I hope they come, I miss the baby.
But no text yet, so for now it’s still maybe.

Happy hump Wednesday is finally here.
Let’s raise our mugs and spread the cheer.
The long work week is now near its end.
The weekend is next, shared with a friend.
~
But I’m on vacation, my weekend’s begun.
I’m going to play cards and have some fun.
We’ll sit on the porch and watch the sun’s arc.
I’ll stare at the trees and pretend it’s my park.
~
I’ll daydream at sunset to clear my mind,
then grab my guitar and a tune I’ll find.
I’ll jump up and down and sing without sorrow.
I’ll stay up late, cos I’m still off tomorrow.

Head’s in the clouds, toes in the sand,
love and laughter walk hand in hand.
Horizon’s endless on a calm night’s sea.
Reflections mirrored for you and me.
~
Love and laughter, the perfect pair,
nothing comes close I do declare.
It’s the freedom to howl at stupid things,
or share a giggle when the other one sings.
~
One pumps you up, one deflates stress,
love and laughter, why settle for less?
Time’s never wasted when it’s shared by two.
That’s why I’m glad to be vacationing with you.
