Morning Caress (haiku)
Milk white petals bow
Gently to the rain washed ground
With a sunlit kiss

Mummers (a waltz poem)
When
the moon
does
veil
the sun in
shadow
then
appears
the ghostly
masquerade where
masked phantoms
waltz in
an
endless
dance to then
fade in
the
bright sun's
rays

My Dearest Love
My dearest love, how you have lifted me
From that barren earth I used to know
You gathered those scattered dreams
I cast from myself so long ago
I had borne my sorrows so heavily
That I wast no longer allowed to fly
But now I spread wide my wings
And soar across the starry night sky
What was once a humble heart
Now stands so proud and free
There is no pain I wouldst not bear
If I could but shine with the love of thee
Thy soul is the rarest that I have ever known
It shinest bright with your love and grace
Oh my love, my most cherished heart
Forever I have longed for thy loving embrace
Now I dost ask the Heavens so eagerly
To hear my most sincere and heartfelt plea
And grant us one day and eternity
For one life is not enough to love thee

Nursery Rhyme Pandemonium
In my sleep, I dreamed
And in the dream I turned a key and opened wide a door
And a strange procession was passing me
Unlike any I'd seen before
I saw Jack be nimble and Jack be quick
Jack jumped over the candlestick
But the floor must have been a little bit slick
For he slid and cracked the Spoon and the Dish
And little Jack Horner was not in the corner
But harassing the sheep of little Bo Peep
While the three blind mice got ahold of the knife
And was giving the Wife the run of her life
And there in the middle, the cow had the fiddle
And was dancing a jig with the three little pigs
Who hadn't a clue that the wolf was there too
Tom-peeping into the old woman's shoe
But little red hood knew he was up to no good
And told the three bears he broke all their chairs
Then told Ole Mother Hubbard he had emptied her cupboards
when she was quietly sleeping upstairs
Then Jack and Jill ran up the hill for a thrill
And when they came down they knocked Humpty around
Who fell to the ground with a crashing sound
And was rolling around to escape the King's Hounds
And there by the shrubs the three men in a tub
Were giving the Pied Piper a hearty back rub
So I closed the door with a shock, put the key in the lock
As I did not want to see what came out the Hickory Dickery Clock...
