A Merry Metal Xmas
Merry Christmas, to all the poets/poetesses here at DU. This year was only the beginning, folks. Seems arriving here has put some wind in the sails of my creative journey. That was my Christmas gift, I received from my fellow writers here at DU. You all helped me rise again like a glorious phoenix. Or some other town in Arizona. lol. What movie did I quote that line from? Anybody? I know who'll take a stab at it, and will probably get it right.

Bet with your head, not over it
Neil Anblomi of Italy took a trip to Las Vegas and sent some letters back home in 1996. His letters telling loved ones his tales of American adventure. One letter told them he had a win of $2,500.00 on roulette. Another was about seeing Wayne Newton live, enjoying the performance immensely. In a postcard to his mother, he talked about how exhausting gambling could be, but told her not to worry. "I am sensible, so I won't blow my savings." He told her of his plans to see the Grand Canyon by helicopter and maybe buy a ticket to a magic show. On August 1st, 1996, Anblomi threw himself...

BASEBALL HAIKU
Years ago while attending
a baseball game this
haiku appeared on the
stadium screen:
Rookies first hit--
picked off at first
At a game with a friend
she scribbled:
Lingering rain
the game of catch continues
into evening

The Empty Chair ( for Amy & all who have lost someone )
Christmas is an empty chair
donning a dining table
during holiday—
Condolences haunt
as words, until meaning
fumbles between our lips
We flail at half-loss
as razor blades, slicing
inadequacy apart
Yet, offer them regardless
to salvage the wreckage
of our helplessness
Praying our brave dearth
proves comfort enough

roadtrip antics
conversation drones as the road rolls
like a conveyor belt under the tires
music drifting in & out between words
a lull & voices suddenly combine
Sweet Caroline!
picture a car full of bobbing heads
swaying in unison to the tune
and I chuckle
this is my family
noisy & rambunctious
sometimes cantankerous
always full of bursts of love
and the car continues on
its soundtrack is still the song
as chatter carries along
and that moment when it stops
and again...
Sweet Caroline!
such spontaneous...
like a conveyor belt under the tires
music drifting in & out between words

Sweet Caroline!

swaying in unison to the tune
and I chuckle
this is my family

Merry Christmas
this is a magical time of year
today I count my blessings
for a family dear to me
a husband who loves me
children and grandchildren
who I adore...
so many days I look at my cup as empty
when in truth it's full of the finest spirits
I have friends who watch over me
listen to my pains and turmoil
though this is no psychology club
you walk me through it
here in these sacred halls
I've found understanding
you are so much like my very own family
I wish to tell you Happy Holidays
and Merry Christmas

Mingle Hells
Jingle bells, the night prevails,
the skull full of vodka sways.
Through the snow the spirits flow
in a haze of holiday craze.
Silent nights with blurry sights.
Laughter echoes in the air.
Raise a toast to the ghost
of memories we all share.
Cheers to friends and to the ends
of bottles lined in a row.
In the glow let it show.
The warmth of hearts we know.
Jingle bells, the story tells
of nights both wild and bright.
With the skull full of vodka
we toast to the festive light.
the skull full of vodka sways.
Through the snow the spirits flow
in a haze of holiday craze.
Silent nights with blurry sights.
Laughter echoes in the air.
Raise a toast to the ghost
of memories we all share.
Cheers to friends and to the ends
of bottles lined in a row.
In the glow let it show.
The warmth of hearts we know.
Jingle bells, the story tells
of nights both wild and bright.
With the skull full of vodka
we toast to the festive light.

Strip For Me
I got me a lap dance.
Don't need to try,
To get in her pants.
They're gone.
And I'm just there,
For the big and brawn.
Sipping this martini,
Enjoying the porn.
Can't wait for this horny guy,
To come and join.
We'll gamble 'til the light of dawn.
Who gets the dance?
We'll flip a coin.
Ill mind fuck him,
While she gets him on.
He's distracted,
So I know I've won.
Now let's get going.
The sun is out.
Let's do a dance, at your house.
Id love to whip these titties out. ...

Loosening the White Knuckled Grip
I should be..
Nah.
I need to...
Who cares.
It's 7 AM! I overslept!
Pfffttt
Ugh! Ruth smashed a cupcake in Gustavo's face at the Christmas party and I didn't do anything about it.
Yawn. He lived.
Why did all my teacher gifts from parents have to be sweets?
Because they're effing good, even the Ferrero Rochers, and yes, I will have another.
How many times have I watched the David Lee Roth Just a Gigolo video since Friday evening?
Who's counting? It's cute and funny and I love...
Nah.
