Grandma Needs

“He’s not heavy; he’s my brother!”

communication,
food, play, music, couch, safety,
rest, comfort, and art!

The Day After Christmas

What follows a Day of Glory?

diapers, water, food
dishes, donkeys, droppings, clothes
earthling’s comfort needs

Pattern #29 “V”

Photo and Mask by Jeanne

It’s the “V” that points
command; spotlights night’s secrets:
food and game for thought!

Tongue Twister #37 Distance 8

Closing the Distance

Even thugs need hugs;
Kings bring
cling and wing
where e’er they sing.

Lions need be held;
by fold-behold
the pride
of mane and hide.

Young and old
bring shelter;
food and drink
a golden link.

CULTURED APPLES

Cultured Apples

Cultured Apples

Apples schooled in culture:
Pruned and grafted, daft and crafted
‘Til they gleam with dapple brilliance
Dipped and mashed and sliced and diced!

Pruned and grafted, daft and crafted:
Works of art for Macintosh
Symbols of a juicy bite, a byte’s delight!

“Til they gleam with dappled brilliance
Like your cheeks reflective glow
When you smile a mile wide… slow

Dipped and mashed and sliced and diced
A treat served cold or spiced ’til hot
With cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg dot!

THE INTIMATE FLAVOR OF MEN IN MY LIFE

Don is bread pudding
Fluffy and warm;
Molds to the box,
But crispy when worn.

Gino’s like pizza,
Exotic and fresh;
Take him to picnics
In Bangladesh!

John is a popsicle
Frozen and trim;
Bite him in bits
His taste to win.

Bob’s like thick licorice
Black chewy bites;
Savor the flavor:
Calligraphy nights!

Dad’s antipasto,
Appetizer Man
Served with Manhattans
And olives in can.

Owen’s an orgy
Of Greek food and fare;
Of skewers and custards
And feta-s somewhere.

Wrap them all up,
Sprinkle caterers throughout;
An endless feast make:
Leave out sauerkraut!

Distractable Don

Don has remote fever.
So many remotes:
opening recorders
monitors
garage doors
DVD players
alarms
cabinets
locks
phones
and
Jeanne.

She’s crammed in his bulging pockets
with hard boiled eggs
spoons
jelly candies
more remotes
rechargeable batteries
Sudoku books:
treasures
to spark his passion.

Jeanne adjusts
to the rhythm
on his hip.
Gladly
rides
her favorite thigh.
Oh my!!!!!!

EGG

EGG

Egg played a joke on me:
Created me so small
I cannot see
The breath of Thee.

Egg played a yoke on me:
Made me round
To roll away
Without my whey.

Egg played some folk with me:
See this one; then that
Different, two
Proteins like you.

Egg played a joke on me.
Egg played a yoke on me.
Egg played some folk with me.

Egg is
A Creator
A Redeemer
A Sanctifier!
