pearls luster
lounging luxurious
around her luscious neck
where kisses conjure
soft parting lips
to moan moist
and find the mesmer
of my incantations
lusting
lavishly
on
her
flesh.

He saw his shadow... just a little boy
It was his first time seeing the dark apparition
and it scared him...
he tried to run away but it followed him everywhere!

I remember having to get up to change the channel on the TV -- we only got 12 stations but every game would be broadcast and back in the days of the antenna there was no cable bill, no multiple streaming services... just adjusting the rabbit ears was the only inconvenience.

A mirage greets the eyes
Rising over Venus
In the loft of western skies
At the twilight of day’s end

Arching in its span
To close the gap between us
A bridge of heaven’s stone
Where harmony ascends

Reflected in the jade
Of emerald eyes that greet us
At rest, we come of age
And in angels’ arms we mend.

My own reflection
twisted In this mirrored house
where #trickery stares

My miniature border collie cross - his name was Brutus and he lead me down many a paths, filled with the positivity reflected in his leaps and bounds. May he forever RIP.

His name was Brutus and he lead me down many a path, filled with the joy reflected in his leaps and bounds. May he forever RIP. He lived a long and happy life 😊.
Blind and fragile, he finally passed at the age of 19. I miss him still 😢.

‘I hear you’ve been possessed by some #trickery.’

‘Who are you?’

‘I’m the Dyslexorcist. I’ve been summoned from the joke world to rid you of your corny demons.’

‘Interesting. Say something to convince me you’re legit.’

‘Your mother cooks socks in hell.’

Subtle shafts of sunlight
Soft, they bathe the sand.
Shells of earth-tone, smooth
Soothe the palm of hand.
Effervescent #seafoam,
Washes on the beach,
And Sally sits in pure content,
Munching on a peach.
Her mind drifts in dreamscape
Floating on the sand
Swooned by ocean's song
Crooning to the land
Waves of worry swept away
Far down the shoreline beach
Now Sally sits in pure content
Munching on a peach.

a cartoon rabbit is sitting on a rock in a dark cave ALT: a cartoon rabbit is sitting on a rock in a dark cave

within the quaking hedgerow
the rabbit shakes with dread
his whiskers twitch and quiver
fearful of the sign that said
the warren is in danger
the warren faces doom
an exodus awaits them
to where the hope of rainbows bloom.

slow...
I'm currently querying my recently completed manuscript Sunsetter - a tale of ancient evil in the wilds of the west, and a sequel to my self-published novel, Weathervane. I'll probably self publish again. And both have their origins from my #western novel The Murderous Villain Rosco Pitt.

It varies-- I just write and wonder about the genre later... but I kinda lean to #horror. Currently working on a #scifi... but its also kinda #horror/dystopian - most of what I try to do has a #literary flare - strongly character driven - also I'm a fan of the #western.
Thanks for asking!

Where does democracy go to die?
Where power and greed drive the few
Where profits trump me and you
Where tears bleed blood not red but blue
Where molded as law, corruption is clay
Democracy dies in the U.S. of A.

The cards formed a Celtic cross
To all but one the meaning lost
Her hands brushed the air above
And divined I could again find love
She #read the Tarot speaking fast
And wept as her eyes viewed my past
Destined to repeat, she warned
#Unless I stop being so forlorn

there's a #leak in my brain
a steady drip
pooling as a puddle
into a depression
I #suppose was always there.
Filling to the spilling
to stream into the heart
where churning turbines spin
then beat a rat-a-tat-tat
like jack's anxious #hammer

Its hard to run in a sleeveless jacket
and bare feet slips on morning #dew
the fence made quite a racket
but I climbed it quiet
no one knew
the shackles limit strides
but my feet keep moving true
fleeing from the #hospital
coming after you! 🤪

onomatopoeia
I'm really glad to see ya!
I love a #word that makes the sound 
of what is being described.

A cat will sometimes yowl,
a dog will often howl;
and there's an owl hooting, 
to express that wisdom vibe.

An ode to every word
that sounds like what we heard
I'm always glad to see ya
onomatopoeia.
