Let’s Laugh Together

Eat your soup with a fork,Crumble crackers with a hammer,Teach a parrot to shout a bark,I’ll tell a joke with a stammer. Catch a ball without your glove,Shine my car to dim the glare,Land a snowflake on your tongue,Lick the floor on a dare. Make me laugh with your antics,Hang your shirt upside down,Let’s liveContinue reading “Let’s Laugh Together”

Fall Colors

Autumn tones of browns and yellows,The orange of Jack-O-Lanterns,Front porch games, connect the dots,In match strikes of scattered light. Pinks and blues of birthday cakes,Merry-go-rounds of sweets,Peeking through kitchen windows,With squinty eyes into the dark. Greens grow out of gray rains,Tall trees become a forest,Wind rolling across their tops,Cutting like an old push mower. PushContinue reading “Fall Colors”

Halloween 2020

Boooo …. Hah hah hah! Witches grimoire with magic spells,Spooky stories it will tell,Incantations be believed,Ghosts and goblins, monster’s creed. Look behind you walking streets,Careful who you choose to greet,Never sure who’s friend or foe,Spirits dark with eyes that glow. Candy’s good but is it worth,Risking all from slippery birth,Dungeons, racks, and guillotines,You’ll never return,Continue reading “Halloween 2020”
