Well, would it?

Skin as white as snow
Lips as red as the rose
We all know the words
We know how the story goes

But what if the snow was tainted
Touched by a mortal hand?
Beauty only skin deep
Underneath nothing too grand

Would it take away the fable
Leave us wanting more
To know the heroine human
And not a legend of lore

To Dan & Lou!

A burst of white
By candlelight
Has set the mood
For wine & food
For dancing, clapping
And soul slapping
Only at such times as these
Everyone is so easy to please
When two become one
It's a time for fun

Reflections

Reflecting on this world of mine

Watching diamonds as they shine

Remembering friends lost in time

Wondering what will clear this grime

Pondering why people mime

The joys they sell on a dime

Savoring the taste of homemade wine

And feeling that sometimes we're all fine

And as questioned by Tam... 

Why do these words all rhyme? ;)

Creak, creak

Feel the burn when the joints do bend
Another relay of pain to send
Coursing through nerves of old
Fearing sweat and severe cold
Every drop of rain that's not
Lodges in bones that are shot
Never understanding why
Only knowing we can't fly

Dirt

Here we go let's search the store
For all those things we've bought before
Another helping of less than best
Another suit to reflect the rest
We've made our choices and now we're stuck
We simply have to clean up the muck

Obvious haiku

Money to spend now
On frivolous things for me
I still live at home

Apples

The ripened fruit looked oh so good
Just gleaming in the sun
An autumn breeze caressed the trees
As we were having fun
The children's faces gleamed with joy
As sweetness filled their mouths
A constant chirp of crunching leaves
Joined by effervescent shouts
No better day to join the bands
Of families joining in
Going about a special day
With faces showing grins

Petite mot française

Salut Sophie, comment ça va?
C'est vrai que j'pense souvent à toi
J'aimais bien nos têtes-à-têtes
Est-ce qu'on se revoit à la fête?
C't'une drôle d'idée que j'ai eu
De t'écrire ici comme si ç'allait être vue!

Red moon

The red will stop flowing soon
A day that signals the waning moon
A time of life that shows our age
Telling us to turn the page
A time of freedom from our earthly sphere
To concentrate on what brought us here

V for vicktory

And so the truth will out
Through tears we kvetch and shout
But in the end we all can see
That this anger is just uncertainty
Strength pulled from within
To wipe away that crazy grin
Now the world will know
That there's no shame in a show
