  • The Greatest Race

    Was sitting in a tavern discussing racing and a man who raised huskies said, "You don't know nothing about racing,let me tell you a real racing story about men and dogs and love."

    Light is short, in the great far north
    Ice lay thick upon the lake
    Snow drifts seek and spread white peaks
    like icing on a cake

    in Halloween Poems

    I bought a mermaid costume.
    Somehow I lost the scales.
    Wore it Halloween night
    And looked just like a whale.

  • Halloween Scream

    • Published: October 2011

    in Halloween Poems

    One ghostly ghoul, one green eyed goblin
    The headstones say; you've got a problem
    To venture on my porch tonight
    Might want to hold your mummy tight

    • Published: October 2009

    in Humorous Poems

    Now see the beautiful sunset ore the ocean blue
    Fiery colors do abound, of poems there are a few
    I wish that I could write one, about that perfect hue
    But nothing rhymes with orange

    • Published: October 2009

    in Humorous Poems

    Back in October a Christmas wish I made.
    A brand new set of golf clubs before next year I played.
    Then on Christmas morn, with my eyes I spied
    An oblong box under the tree, with ribbon wrapped and tied.

"Wait till your farther gets home" was my discipline from mom. I always wondered what happened in those secret meetings. Just a memory from when I was sixteen. I enjoyed your poem.

A parent's job most days goes unnoticed, unless they take away your phone. It's true I gave my mother fits and most times I didn't understand, but I had my day of reckoning when I finally had kids of my own.
