come

Come and say goodbye
to your friend
it's but a short time
to the end
he's tired and cold
not so old
going back to
the fold
Come and say good bye
to your friend
he's in he midst of a
crowd so loud
cowed, in a shroud.
Come and say good bye
to your friend.
it's but a short time
to the end.

frost

Frost on the ground
lays glistening
a blanket of
fallen stars
from above.

Frost on the ground

Fog waxes and wanes
like a tired old mind
near clear
then blank
clear again

Frost on the ground

Ghostly shadows chase
the moon
silhouettes soft and full
tracing outlines
true love

Frost on the ground

Stealing away
these moments of
time
touch
smell
sound sight
stolen moments

Frost on the ground.

cardboard robin hood

cardboard robin hood
smiling out at the tiny face
green cap long feather
pale face red goatee
carboard robin hood
straining out at the tiny face
green cap long feather
pale face red goatee
dark it is
under the bed
cardboard robin hood
getting wet from
the eyes of the tiny face
why can't you shoot them with
your arrows
cardboard robin hood
torn and tattered
living still
in the mind of the tiny face
cardboard robin hood
under the bed
cardboard robin hood

spyder

Spyder
pleasant smile
nod of the head
merry tunes
happy days
Spyder
weaves his shimmering
web of
deceit,
pain,
suffering
with
delicate fingers
he
sprays
splays
relays
Spyder
cares not for
their dread.
laying still
watching
them from his bed
weaves his shimmering
web
deceit
pain
dread
Spyder
scampers about
sucking the life
out
