Poet Introduction
Published in small mags in US and England years ago.
Change (22)
We grow
And like it or not,
We change
So does the world around us
We adapt to it
Or we are left way, way behind....and die
But then we all die, eventually....
And like it or not,
We change
So does the world around us
We adapt to it
Or we are left way, way behind....and die
But then we all die, eventually....

Ghost town
Internet savvy
You just bought yourself a Ghost town
Nice description, photos
So you sell everything, pack your bags
And go.
The directions are quite clear
You get at the final destination
So says your GPS....a GPS does not lie
But there is nothing but deserted land
Where did the Ghost town go?

Where did the Ghost town go?

Invisible
June did not believe in Ghosts
But then she died in a car crash
And became one
Refusing to accept her fate
As she roams the halls
Of the castle owned by the man
Who drove the vehicle in the oncoming lane
Scaring him nightly
And driving his wife insane.
But then she died in a car crash
And became one
Refusing to accept her fate
As she roams the halls
Of the castle owned by the man
Who drove the vehicle in the oncoming lane
Scaring him nightly
And driving his wife insane.

Valentine(22)
Valentine day is coming up
The people in Valen-upon-Thyne are preparing
In the Boars and Dagger pub
Some people are already in action
Discreetly caressing, hugging, squeezing
In the nearby parc an archery range has been set up
For fun of course
Include your love note and it may well reach the Beloved's heart.
Sadly one man did not quite agree with the concept
And shot his arrow directly in the heart
Of the lady who'd said no............

Divertissement
Le vieil homme et sa machine-à-coudre
Serait le titre préféré
Car ainsi était devenu sa vie
Après trop d'échecs
De par sa faute ou pas
Maintenant une façon positive
De s'exprimer (et d'expier ses péchés?)
En confectionnant ces superbes sacs
Une satisfaction.
Chaque création différente
Qui fera plaisir à la personne
Qui s'en procurera un.

Difficult numbers
According to Wikipedia
In the US one person every seven minutes (on average)
Dies of overdose from fentanyl alone
According to the US CDC
Approximately 100,000 persons in the US die
Of illegal drugs usage every year.
That does not seem much in a total population
Of close to 333 million
That's half of the much dreaded 666 number
A sort of curse, I suppose.
True, deaths by illegal drugs occur all over the world
Images differ.
You have the artist, the businessman, professions of all sorts
Who have their drugs...

Dreams of pain
She just never had enough
Loved her lover to give a good spanking
Till her bottom glowed pink
And smiled at the looks of it in the full length mirror
Loved to be tied and teased till she shed tears
Of pleasure
Ready and begging to please
Ready and begging to be entered
Whichever way best filled his desires.

Ta-kling, ta-klang
Ta-kling, ta-klang
The comforting sound of the spoon
As it hit the side of the tea cup as she mused
Sitting at the kitchen table and looking at the sea outside her window
Ta-kling, ta-klang
Ta-kling, ta-klang
She added a tear frop of cream to the pepperment tea
Added a sprinkling of brown sugar
Musing while her darling Rosalie was far away on a battleship
Trying to save the world

''Make a wish''
So it was with this Genie bottle found in the parc
He wished to be turned into a woman
So he could become a gorgeous escort
And make tons of money
Genie obliged, turned him into a woman
Skinny and flat-chested:
That is all she had left in her
Magic Book of Powers.

One way to go
'What a beautiful day to die'' he said.
His colleague could not understand
Thought this was said in a rather facetious way
Considering that it was a rainy, cold and very windy day.
They were simple security men making their rounds
Outside the Wax and Mummies Museum
Creepily standing on the other side of the street from the cemetary
For some odd reason, this museum also contained a small Fabergé collection
Which happened to be aim and destination of the gang of crooks
Rounding the corner.
Both crooks and security men were surprised ...

Weird
As he walked in the snow
And put a foot in front of the other
Immediately a foot print appeared before his own
As if walking in steps with him
Leading the way.
.......Ghosts do NOT exist........

Dust
I'm running on empty
And walking in a daze
Another blank day
Filled with Nothingness
Leading nowhere but
Eventually
Dust back to the earth.
And walking in a daze
Another blank day
Filled with Nothingness
Leading nowhere but
