Deedle, Deedle, Dumpling: Nursery Rhyme Re-invented
Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John Played every day upon the lawn; Whether in rain or bright sunshine, Little, little John would play just fine! But at bedtime he’d get so tired, And lose all the energy that he required To jump and scream and laugh out loud - Such little time for play allowed! He...

The End (Re-Post)
In the chasm between dreams and wakefulness I watch the day’s sun churn the sky into a molten red And as the wind wakes up from its clouded sleep, The leaves begin to stir and sing a song so Dauntingly sweet. Singing to me. O, Singing to me. And I hush my eyes to hear the world To feel the wind’s...

The nursery rhyme is still just lurking in my head like bad cold...it won't go away and leave me alone....it just keeps pestering me and making me miserable....We'll see who wins this fight! RAWR!!! It lurks behind a wisp of a memory, It hides behind the shadow of a thought, It cowers behind the...

Sorry Guys...
I tried to finish up my latest Nursery Rhyme Re-invention today, but my exhaustion is not allowing me to finish, and the words are irritatingly lurking in the haze of my mind. I want to go to sleep to allow this haze to dissipate, but my mind doesn't want to sleep either.....OYE. Perhaps tomorrow.

Waiting...
Waiting. Tick. Tock. Still waiting. The endlessness of the wait is killing me. The slowness of time is killing me. The rustle of restlessness is killing me. The hum of people around is killing me. The heat slowly rising is killing me The claustrophobic feel is killing me The thrum of walking and...

Georgie Porgie: Nursery Rhyme Re-invented
Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie – The only things he’d ever buy. He ate and ate without a break And then one day he bought a cake! He ate that too with just one bite, And gave a look of pure delight. This was now his favorite food, That put him in a real good mood! Then the girls came out one day...

Sing Sweetly, Love (Re-Post)
This is also a repost for my suicidal friend, who was screaming late into the night at the uselessness of life. It breaks my heart to see her like this. Oh darling Night, please sing to me, Sing of heartbreak and memories. Once again, my soul is broken, At the words that he has spoken. My thoughts...
