The theme for this week’s Gooseberry Garden Poetry Picnic is Feathers, Fidelity, Figment, and Fables, and the poem I am submitting fits none of those. Well, it might fall loosely within some of them, but nonetheless, it’s what I have to say this week. I hope you enjoy it. Read the rest of this entry »

Some of you young’ns won’t know what I’m talking about with regard to the title and first line, but those of you who grew up in the fifties and sixties definitely will. It’s another of the many poems I wrote in 1998, and my only Halloween poem. Read the rest of this entry »
