“At home with a good book”

“At home with a good book”

I wanna go home

where the buffalo roam

all about the loam,

and the troll and the gnome

eat crumpets from a comb

and the strumpets of Rome

read erotica from a tome

and wait for you at home

where the fun’s allowed to roam

wild as strumpets on a comb

and crumpets on the loam

and buffalo with a tome

thundering about the streets of Rome.

I wanna go home.

“Fall leaf”

Fall leaf

The fall light declines. /

The fading leaf catches /

the evening shadows.

Cartoonsday: “Pumpkin spice”

Pumpkin spice

Oh, that pumpkin spice.

Some say, “How nice.”

Some say, “It doesn’t entice.”

In your latte or your cocoa cup,

It’s meant to please, to fill you up.

It’s as though this orange gourd

Was handed down by some manor lord.

But is this what Halloween means?

Lining someone else purse with our green

As we smell it, taste it, baste it,

Living as if we cannot waste it?

Oh, that odorous pumpkin spice,

Coming to offer, to entice.

A little pumpkin can be nice,

But a lot is like having lice.

“The flash”

The flash

A flash of inspiration,

Showering the consternation

While trying to find usurpation

Because the damn thing won’t work.

Moments of contemplation,

Mental hiccups and gyrations

Have led to this perturbation:

Water and electricity to twerk.

The world in needed restoration

Could use so full lubrication:

Sweat, blood, toil – an aggregation

Exploding with a jerk.

“Whisper”

Whisper

Falling leaves of fall /

whisper their dying refrain: /

winter is coming.

“Hanging”

Hanging

Hanging with the dead, /

may mean fingeratively,

or even your toes.

“Autumn descends”

Autumn descends

Old leaves and lost light, /

days of autumn descend on /

young cat and stone bench.

“Embrace”

Embrace

Iron bars may not a /

Prison make, but the Earth may /

Embrace you forever.

“Bending”

Bending

Bending the daylight, /

Shaping the shadows, the bridge /

Spans more than water.

Photo finish Friday: “Seasonal waters”

Seasonal waters

It is the season. /

I drink from the mouth of death /

to quench my parched bones. /

Though I shall never be done /

for death now flows forth from me.
