you set me
on fire by those
sweet things you say


the lies you

how I tell myself
to not  listen

greeted  my Christmas morn
along with the flakes of snow that freely falls---

who to reach
out by the use
of metaphors
that seem too
lost for e a s y
comprehension
and they

in forms of artistic "innovations"
There was a young lady from Hants
Who had trouble finding her pants
She looked high and low
And strip-searched her beau
Who’d speared them as flag for his lance!
