Halloween (Cinquain)
Halloween
Frightful sights
Under moon’s light
Ghosts and goblins alight
Tonight

Post CommentAnother Nuclear Holocaust Holiday
If only these holidays could be wiped off the face of the earth:
Christmas
Valentine's Day
Easter
Thanksgiving
You name it
What a wonderful world this would be!
Then, instead of feeling like I'm being
wiped off the earth
I could be
HAP-PY!

Christmas gifts
So nice to see
All the Christmas gifts under the tree
But what about the ones that don't fit under the tree
The ones that really mean a lot to you and me
A full tummy full of good food
A special song that puts me in a good mood
A kind word from a stranger
The baby Jesus in the manger
Earlier this month we had Christmas snow
Lighted houses that bring that holiday glow
Time off from work
Donald Trump and his comments that make me want to smirk
Larry David's impression of Bernie Sanders
Coleslaw from Colonel Sanders
Star Wars and Daddy's Home
A friend talking to me on the phone
All these things and many more
Give me hope that you can't find in a store
All the Christmas gifts under the tree
But what about the ones that don't fit under the tree
The ones that really mean a lot to you and me
A full tummy full of good food
A special song that puts me in a good mood
A kind word from a stranger
The baby Jesus in the manger
Earlier this month we had Christmas snow
Lighted houses that bring that holiday glow
Time off from work
Donald Trump and his comments that make me want to smirk
Larry David's impression of Bernie Sanders
Coleslaw from Colonel Sanders
Star Wars and Daddy's Home
A friend talking to me on the phone
All these things and many more
Give me hope that you can't find in a store

About this poem:
Just thinking of some of things that I enjoy during Christmas. Daddy's Home is a movie with Will Ferrell. He is one of my favorite comedians. I saw his Anchorman 2 movie four times in the movie theater.Funny Moments in Christmas Movies
Scrooged When the ghost of Christmas present kicks Kross in the groin.
Home Alone When the pizza delivery driver thinks he's actually talking to a madman who is shooting him.
Home Alone 2 When Buzz is making fun of Kevin with the candles behind his ears.
Fred Claus When Fred is panhandling by dressing up as a fake Santa and gets busted by the Salvation Army Santas.
Four Christmases When Vince Vaughn is acting like Joseph at the church.
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas When the Grinch is checking his outgoing message on his answering machine.
Beavis and Butthead When the ghost of Christmas future shows Beavis his tombstone and it says "Here Lies Beavis, He Never Scored."
The Santa Clause When Santa(Tim Allen) is told by the little girl to drink the milk and he says he's lactose intolerant.
A Christmas Story When Ralphie loses it and beats up the bully and goes on a swearing tirade.
Night of the Meek(Twilight Zone) When the store manager asks for Santa to give him Brandy, vintage 1903, and Santa gives it to him out of his majic sack.

About this poem:
I watch a lot of Christmas movies. In this list I was looking for funny moments in Christmas movies. Of course there are a lot of other moments, but I was trying to do just one per movie. Saturday Night Live did a very funny retelling of the end of It's A Wonderful Life. In it Mr. Potter gets beat up by George Bailey and his wife with help from the mob.
Ethereal Trip
I love the day
And especially the night
The soothing ray
Of that ethereal light
The freshness of air
Breathing so deep
I do say, I dare
Take the great leap
And float in the abyss
Drifting by, ever silent
Deep inside, perfect bliss
A feeling so oddly compliant
Down the river, I flow
To where? i dont care
Destination? I don't know
Not your average fare
All i know is im going
And thats ok with me
As the river keeps flowing
I just don't care, you see
And especially the night
The soothing ray
Of that ethereal light
The freshness of air
Breathing so deep
I do say, I dare
Take the great leap
And float in the abyss
Drifting by, ever silent
Deep inside, perfect bliss
A feeling so oddly compliant
Down the river, I flow
To where? i dont care
Destination? I don't know
Not your average fare
All i know is im going
And thats ok with me
As the river keeps flowing
I just don't care, you see

Post CommentThankful
Thanks for making a road for me to drive on
Thanks for the good songs I listened to on my drive
Thanks to the people who made my car that gets me around
Thanks to the guy who drove the gas truck so I could fill up my car
Thanks to the mechanic for fixing my oil leak
Thanks to the hockey players who risk injury for my amusement
Thanks to the zamboni driver who cleans the ice between periods
Thanks to the woman who made my chicken the other day
Thanks to the chicken for being tasty
Thanks to my snails for making many babies for me to look at
Thanks to the earth's tilt so we have seasons like fall and winter
Thanks to the clouds so the sun didn't hurt my eyes on my drive home
Thanks to the librarians for getting me movies, music, and books
Thanks to this computer at the library so I don't have to spend money

About this poem:
I do all my computer work at the library. Saves me a lot of cash. I'm thankful as I like to eat!
online today!Bali (Trip 2 - circa 1992)
My next trip to Bali - I was twenty-four
Going there again with a few mates.
We each had a room (like the time before)
I'll not bore you with flight details commonplace.
Returning on a holiday to score
Some p*ssy and drink till we're off our face.
We had spending money and a cheap airfare -
All I'll say suffice to say we got there.
Arriving on the beach in steamy Kuta
To watch a sunset dying in the west.
Sipping Bintang beer in a pool bar
(Memories I made there were the best).
Knowing that I was now from Sydney far
It was time to settle in and to get pissed.
To tie one on but not get truly rotten
The smells of Asia not quickly are forgotten.
The first girl I met her name was Donna
(An Aussie girl from Broome as I remember)
And that first night I certainly got on her
(It's hot and dry in Bali in December).
By the pool at 3 am is where I saw her; -
I invited her into the balmy water;-
And now I'll tell you something really cool -
In two minutes we were at it in the pool!
The next night was quite different I tell you
A moon came up full wan wild and wicked; -
And having nothing better now to do
Went out again intending to get shickered.
Now by myself (not with the other crew)
The meal cart's cooking fires brightly flickered.
Next something now that I won't soon forget -
I think the chef put mushrooms in my omelet!
In half an hour I was feeling strange
And went into an expensive nightclub.
I lay upon a sofa on a stage
And watched the moon shower silver from above.
Now trapped in a bright psychedelic cage
My senses one by one had taken leave; -
The music they were playing - the Eurhythmics
I heard the gifted voice of Annie Lennox.
On the stereo, Annie sang her song "Why"
Why indeed? I ask now (taken deeper).
I looked into the silver moonlit sky
The trip upon me (and my will grows weaker).
Something strange now (like this poetry)
To wake now from a dream (but not the sleeper).
I stared transfixed at the black silhouette
Of palm trees edged in moonlight (stranger yet).
The next day I didn't feel so good
(I muttered curses underneath my breath).
I thought about it - and I really should
Have had police arrest that wicked chef.
If I could find him - then I surely would
Have told them all about his bad omelets.
I searched about in every street canteen -
But nowhere was the scoundrel to be seen.
Well not much more to add now - two more girls
Both were Indonesian and were prozzies*.
Just names on a list now - that is all -
(In Bali there are worse things than the mozzies**).
A strange holiday in a place tropical -
Tourists on the beach in skimpy cozzies***.
Eight days of sun, and then time to go home -
The weirdest holiday I've ever known.

~ Scary Halloween ~
~ Scary Halloween ~
‘Twas the night of nights!
“All Hallows Eve”
The midnight screeching of owls
could be heard warning of Grave Robbing & noises
that go bump in the night and of heinous atrocities!
‘Twas the boundary between the Living & the Dead
when the Ghosts of the dead returned to ravage the living!
The peasantry often wore costumes some consisting of animal heads & skins to ward off and appease the evil Ghosts and to accept the cold approaching winter weather.
Young women dressed up as saints or she devils
and often would try to cast spells on unmarried men
with the intentions of getting married in the future ~ Oh! Those scheming unscrupulous women! Lol
People wore Halloween masks not to be recognized by any encountered ghosts! Breaking glass & stepping on cracks or spilling salt brought seven years of bad luck!
One had to fear black cats on Halloween as they were
instruments of witches bringing bad luck to all that the cats crossed their paths with ~
Beware the Red-headed witch riding on her broom-stick! Dressed up in a Leopardess costume flaunting her bodice and shooting cupid’s bow! She will take you to her castle in the sky! You have been warned ~
“Happy Halloween”

Boo! Beware!The Ghosts & Witches are coming!

Rare Earths
Deep below ground crystals are forming
their matrix and brilliance unknown
No names yet assigned to any single one
Above ground are their counterparts
Michelangelo most mindful in omitting
the spark between the two fingertips
their matrix and brilliance unknown
No names yet assigned to any single one
Above ground are their counterparts
Michelangelo most mindful in omitting
the spark between the two fingertips
