Poet Introduction
Published in small mags in US and England years ago.
Schloss Neuschwanstein (2)
As I sat at the table one morning
And took a sip of my peppermint tea
(No milk, please, one cube of sugar)
And shortly back from a lovley trip
To Bavaria and specifically
To Schloss Neuschwanstein,
I was still in awe.
Neuschwanstein is certainly
The most beautiful castle in the world.
It set along a segment which is called
The Romantic Road
And was the dream of Ludwig II
Of Bavaria (1845 - 1886).
Newlyweds go there for their pictures,..
It may also be noted that
Walt Disney sent a team there at one time,...

The brooch.
A pearl and enamel brooch
Especially designed and made
For my beloved
While I was on a business trip
To Hong Kong.
It is on the plane on the way back
That I learned of the terrible car crash
And the death of my dear Lisbeth.
The brooch now stands on my desk
Encased in a navy blue velvet frame.

Life is rich
Life is rich,
So we are told
Poor suckers.

Lovely Ghosts
They're all ghosts now.
Grandparents
They had the greatest Christmas tree
In the world. All dressed up
And nowhere to go
Except in the corner
Watching over all the gifts.
Parents who provided everything and more
Father even built a small gas station
With a two-tier garage, a parking
On top and a slide for our toy cars,
Big Brother, the oldest one,
A teacher in his soul and his whole life long
But gone too soon.
Some of them invading my dreams
Ghosts dropping in on my weird dreams
Somehow...

A mess.
So God was juggling with some Balls of Glass
Balls the size of basketballs
Inside of each were even more
Multicolored balls.
Juggling, but not concentrating enough
And distracted as He was by the approach
Of a charming and totally gorgeous Archangel
Thus He lost His grip, lost His hold,
And one of the balls fell on the floor.
A mess of water. fumes and tsunamis.
Brooms and mops were brought
Took Seven minutes to clear the mess
And swish it out the door
And thus the Universe as we know it
Was created, my Lord.

Krampus
Krampus was at it again
Looking for bad kids
Making sure that they would not
Get even a small portion of coal
For warmth on these frosty nights.
He thought he had an open field
Until young Angela who was on the side
Of the not-so-bad kids (for how many
Are from birth so nasty and mean?)
Came along, the bearer of blood-red claws
(Ok: terribly long and well-lackered nails).
She appeared with a long blade of steel in her hands
And shades of hopefulness in her sparkling blue eyes.
That was bad news for Krampus, faced with Blond...

Bad call
There he was without a dime
To rob a bank would be a crime
But it was Christmas after all
So he gave his friends a call
And before the tellers they stood in line
To rob a bank would be a crime
But it was Christmas after all
So he gave his friends a call
And before the tellers they stood in line
