  • The Season of Death

    Death reaches his hands

    Shrivels leaves

    Rips them up

    Soon the ghosts and ghouls will scream

    They've waited all year for Halloween

     But this death is not a scary thought

    In fact it's comforting

  • Moderation

    To live is to die

    To laugh is to know what it feels like to cry

    To try is to fail

    To have friends is to have enemies as well

    The good does not stand alone

    But neither does bad

    There is no ying without yang

  • What’s in a name?

    Beatrice


    “The bringer of joy”

    That doesn’t quite feel right

    I’ve been told my smile lights up the room

    But who am I to believe that my existence would be the pinnacle of bright?

    And maybe that is the catch

  • When You Are Old

    When you are old and too tired to sleep,

    Steeping like your lemon tea

    In ancient memories and dreams,

    I wonder if you’ll think of me.


    When your forehead’s deeply lined

    With remnants of the tears you cried

  • Poetry

    By wph

    Misfit Kid Summer

    I look at the empty kiddie pool in my backyard

    In the Midwest summer

    My friends used to come to my house

    So they could all get in it,

    But they don’t like to swim much anymore

     

  • bittersweet end

    Our end is bittersweet,

    some look down in defeat, 

    while others raise their fists in victory.

    Some of us may cry when we wave goodbye, 

    some may smile with a twinkle in their eye.

  • Take a Moment

    To you

    you who lives among our rainbow hills--

    green one moment

    orange the next

    and always blue in the distance--

    you who lives along a river

    you who lives looking into sunsets

    you and you

  • Playlist

    A ton of songs -

    Over fifty -

    I love them all,

    But fade so quickly.

    My interest dies

    By the tenth repetition,

    And so I move on

    To a cooler mission.

    This beat, this soundtrack

    On a loop.
