My Love for Leonard Cohen has reached ridiculous heights!

"Loca Luna" Oh, Leonard, though I know it's just a dream but might you fly to meet me in the Fall? No longer we're so young as seventeen But fools may have their moments, after all. I'll croon for you a Hallelujah chorus; We'll go to Queens for drinks at Donovan's... You'll tune for me your... Sign in to see full entry.

Watching our teachers learning to defend the classroom makes me sick...

Second Letter to the NRA* The faces of our heroes; those unsung; our teachers impart wisdom to our child but lessons for today not for the young; it’s teacher who must read the book awhile. In seven seconds she must make arrest as gunman enters, blasts the locked-down door. Your child of innocence... Sign in to see full entry.

my New New Year's Resolution

"Resolution" Resolving to become the quiet dove I’ll chant my song so not to cause a stir and for the other poets whom I love on blogit, I would never send a slur. My voice will not become woodpecker loud nor flashing red the head of cuckoo bird. I’ll hold the boasting in; wear duller shroud and... Sign in to see full entry.

"Christmas at Grandma's "

I sing of cakes and grandma baking now; aromas wafting through the swinging door. She is the boss; and later takes a bow. She's chef and is the captain of this floor. Around the bowl the chocolate, it flows and overtakes the crunchy macaroon as she becomes the beater of the dough for eclair and the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Dream

Ah, Sugarplum, the fairy, takes her flight as midnight tolls and heavy folds my eyes. Into my dreams, she spins a golden light. She sits upon my nose, and then she sighs: “All life has gone away; the bells and sleigh. The beauty of the day; the frosty flow`rs; the birdie on the branch has flown... Sign in to see full entry.

Grace, age 7, who died mid the Sandy Hook massacre...

"A Letter to the NRA" The school bus flew away today as Grace blew kisses to her mom. Excitement, swirling, had its sway and with the bluest eyes, she sung. She's gone now, to another realm where neither guns nor fear reside; where purple crayons overwhelm; where innocence will not be tried. We may... Sign in to see full entry.

Love and Romance in the Highlands of Scotland.

"Lovesong for Caledonia" Among the trees where humming bees and the wild, wild rose hangs low, this stranger came from out the West, his kilt and weaponry in tow. O'er Scottish moor, this stranger roams, the tartan and his bagpipe thrown o'er shoulder 'til at Urquhart Church near the Old Beech tree... Sign in to see full entry.

What we have here is a failure to communicate (from Cool Hand Luke)

Based on some responses to my poem about the World NOT Ending 12-21-12, I guess I need to clarify: My first Haiku states that the Mayan Calendar is not predicting the END. On the contrary, the Mayans are optimistic that Man will have a sort of "rebirth" on 12-21-12. My second Haiku simply stated... Sign in to see full entry.

Haiku for a new beginning... December 21, 2012
