About This Author
Writing poetry allows me to exercise my imagination and share it with others. I strive to write for the benefit of the reader using carnival fun mirror images of my life's experiences.

Sacrifice
Your sins
For the good
Of one and all concerned
It's you who knows better than anyone else
In the darkness of your secret room, turn away from your evil ways

Flesh
Will whither
Return to dust
Bone turns again to stone
It's better if one should cry at night
Than to suffer in lost spirit the torturous punishment of hellfire for eternity

Heaven
Is God
God is love
Therefore heaven is also love
And true love knows no tears or fear
Only the true love of an all-powerful creator can restore us to perfection

My daughter was a typical teen,
Into internet, cosplay, and the like,
She didn't have much time for doing dishes,
Housework, yard work, or even her bike.
Until the day, despite her frown,
I called her over and sat her down,

I showed her how to crochet booties,
To give to local newborn babies,
She felt the love of giving gifts,
She even learned to crochet daisies.
She began to focus on things hand made,
She forgot the online games she played.

Her grades improved to finish school,
She married well, bought a home,
Though crochet she learned to think,
And teach a daughter of her own,
It's enough to make me shout out loud,
Of my daughter, I'm extremely proud!

Wondering what's wrong, I couldn't see,
Why I lusted for my female cousin,
Until on the day I turned forty-three,
I overheard a strange rumor buzzin',
That my parents had secretly adopted me,
And their eggs, not mine, were short of a dozen.

My first love offered her virginity,
But I fearfully declined,
Not wanting to spoil her purity,
So she gave away what was mine.
Now, as I lie here dying,
It's for this I'm still crying.

She tortures me from distant memory,
Her bright eyes smiling at passing men,
I sat like a dog and worshipped her beauty,
I'll die, having never known her true love.

Hahaha! Gobblety Gook! My aces were not flying as high as they should, so I radioed the flight commander and requested an ice cream and Oreo sundae. When it arrived the squadron did also. That's when the puppies hit the flagstaff! I made sure every one of those pilots knew that I'd had enough ice cream to fill a bloated midget, and that's a lot of ice cream!
         Now on to more important matters. I've just finished combing the lawn and I need a shower!

You may argue the point, but in my book nothing is more in keeping with the American dream than mowing the lawn, trimming the hedges, and burning refuse. Of course, if you ignore the american dream for too many years then catching up can be a bitch. Factor into that old age, diabetes, and congestive heart failure and life become quite a challenge. I just love pity, self or otherwise.

Barren broken trees,
Remind of howling winds,
Tornadoes will pass.
