Thanks to some words provided by lovely blogging friends, I had a calm little Monday night project. Here are the poems I created with their words. Please visit them and send some love their way– they’re awesome!
Oh and please don’t judge them for the poems, they are in no way to blame for my nonsense!

Ghost Stories with Gramps
The bottle of whiskey
would pour itself.
Or so it would seem.
Sometimes it’d miss
and splash the desk–
a sticky stream.
The thunder matched the
gross, viscous wetness.
The humidity killed.
Grandpa’s stories brought
Hell right to us–
His stories thrilled.

Always My Little Brother
I re-live the wailing caterwaul–
embrace the maniacal sound.
I remember the piercing sunshine–
I can still taste the ground.
My memory is a shining memento
of a gregarious little brother.
And though the word “little” became a misnomer,
I’ll never use another.

The Lonely Ship’s Fate
The siren’s songs lit the evening sky–
part melody, part prayer–
a phantom guitar set the rhythm,
and wove a mighty snare.
It skimmed the depth of the ocean,
and navigated the misty air,
and eventually the ship fell softly–
asleep in the siren’s lair.

A Bitter Love*
He lights all my feckless fires,
fuels all my commonplace fears.
He is an anathema to me,
a calamity to last the years.
I fill him with apathy
and bore him straight to tears.

The Bully
Her noxious dark steeps my light,
and banter turns to browbeating,
All the wherewithal to fight
is fading and depleting.

A Family Motto
Our hearts are in our taglines.
We face challenges with equanimity.
We frost success with egolessness.
Our erogenous zone is labeled “like”.
We transform emergency into epiphany.
We sway erroneous thought with words.
Together. Alike. An erudite family.
Living by our motto:
Please share.
