    Poem for December 15th: Light or Dark

    Some see darkness. Some see light.
    Some see day and some like night.
    Both are offered come what may
    With peaceful night and busy day.

    A prudish young lass from Calcutta
    Was afflicted, alas, with a stutter.
    She cried in the forum,
    "I want d*ck, d*ck, decorum!
    Why is everyone's mind in the gutter?"

    Haha

    Creaking with people,
    the house accommodates us
    into its corners.



    A cold breathy night.
    Silver vapour like far stars;
    ghost constellations.

    Suffering is a thorn
    that pricked Hitler in the @ss
    Since the day he was born
    Extreme fear, doubt, forlorn,
    he also never knew grass.

    Poem for December 16th: Remembering Joe

    There once was a fella named Joe,
    Whose name rhymes with anything, though
    I forgot what he did
    And what secrets he hid,
    But they say that his women still know.

    The lament of days;
    despite distances travelled,
    no routes back time's way.



    Walls of art and taste.
    Introverts' furniture set
    facing in at you.

    Poem for December 17th: Lou and Betty Sue

    There once was a lover name Lou
    Who didn’t know what he should do.
    Betty Sue wasn’t there.
    She went out. Who knows where?
    Should he care or just tell her they’re through?

    NAIAD

    I met a naiad once and never,
    I found her by a wasted grove.
    She filled me with a morbid fever,
    And for a time I called it love.

    I thought her fair, I thought me clever
    To lie there with her through the night.
    I hoped that I might never leave her,
    As dead her fingers took me tight.

    The morning came, I was abandoned.
    The sunlight warmed my body bare.
    My skin was gray, my fingers aged,
    As through them brushed my milk-white hair.

    The darkest-skinned person I know
    Is a lover of love, and all that would go
    with the highest feelings of love and bliss
    It would seem so natural, to answer a kiss
    With a returning hug, for so love grows
    and seasons are planted, heaven only knows
    what passes for life in a day-dream so bare
    of the mind who cannot muster a care.

    We stopped Hitler with bombs and bullets
    Because no one stopped him with words before;
    Later they came out with hippies and mullets,
    And many other things to help stop the gore.

    If you know what gives life for you, wonderful, love it -
    That is all that I would happen to believe.
    And if you know sadness, find help, rise above it -
    But if you cause sadness, I would ask you to leave.

    Alone with Christmas.
    Windows reflect festive lights
    into the dark night.

    Memories gather.
    Spiced rum scent wafts,
    Mingled with pine.

    Mingled pine fragrance.
    Minds become those past moments;
    sipping joy and pain.

    Poem for December 18th: Trying to Get My Muse Out of Bed

    My muse said, “I am getting sick
    Of poetry,” and I said, “What?”
    “Make up the stuff yourself,” she said,
    “It’s not that hard. I’ll be in bed.”
    I wish I could compose it, but
    There’s little in my lonely head
    To make the fickle sparkles stick.
