Three Piggies
Little piggies, One to Three, Thought the whole wide world to see, Ventured forth from mother's home, On the road they did roam. Many miles their feet did stride, They thought then where to now reside, Find a place, cozy and warm, Strongly build and safe from harm. On the road they one day saw, A...

Faerie
Trapped within its sheltered bower, Deep within the twilight hour, Restless dreaming comes to one, Of the realm of Oberon. Ebon dark the sodden womb, Likened feeling of a tomb, Linger he must till the moon, Cycles nine on heavens loom. If in Faerie's realm he be, Knows he that he would be free, To...

Love and Cookies
This poem is dedicated to my granddaughter, Cheyanne. "A cookie for a snack, A cookie for a treat, Can I please have one cookie, Before I go to sleep." "No you can not have one, Its time to go to bed, Its much too late for cookies, Get that thought out of your head." "How about a half a cookie, A...

Monk
Cloistered deep, within, without, Sheltered with my thoughts devout, Rays of light from heaven's bowl, Fade the fabric of my soul. Books and manuscripts well bound, Lie about me in a mound, Learning to no other end, The written word my only friend. Then one day enlightenment, Came and like a garment...

Sand
In the conflict between sea and land, The mediator being sand, The sea does pound with mighty roar, Upon the lands broad steadfast door. The waves with windswept fingers crashes, Upon the rocky cliffs it lashes, The land stands fast behind its tower, While daring sea to come devour. In the middle...

Selkie
I heard call the Selkie's song, And I followed, right or wrong, Brought me to the Azure sea, Broad and vast as I could see. There upon a maiden seen, Golden hair with tints of green, A flowing gown about her did fall, Concealing, but revealing all. Her skin and gown like driven snow, Caught the rays...

Devil
Ebon showers of sable bowers, Encompass sullen tresses, Endless day enjoins the fray, Deciding whom possesses. Dammed in all after the fall, Evil filled with night, Unholy one untouched by sun, Withheld from heavens light. Copyright(c) 2008. Joseph Hotchkiss. All rights reserved.

Angel
Argent reams of silver beams, Caress the haloed tresses, Endless night retreats in fright, Its purpose re-assesses. Good in all before the fall, Beauty filled with might, Holy one before the sun, Bathed in heavens light. Copyright(c) 2008 Joseph Hotchkiss. All rights reserved. Note: A devil is...

So Fair
What am I, but just a man, In this cold and lonely world, Doing only what I can, Doing only what I should. Reaching out to touch the heart, Of the one for whom I care, Looking now upon the face, Of the one I see so fair. Seeking out of life's small pleasures, Finding joy in what they bring, Feeling...

A Light in the Forest
In this forest of lonely tears, The trees grow with the rain, That falls forth from my eyes, Shed out of my pain. And the forest it grows mighty, For it is watered well, For the pain I feel is endless, Like the eternal fires of hell. Now I'm lost in this dark forest, That loosing you has made for...
