How could I be this insane?
To attempt such a silly endeavor
As crazy as this might sound to most
I think it sounds quite clever!

In order to achieve this foolishness
One that’s sure to be an adventure
I challenge you to a wild time, ready?
Be sure to hold on to your denture!

Come a bit closer, stand right over here
This is something you won’t want to miss
Plant yourself under this sprig of green
And I’ll plant on you, my biggest kiss!

What do you mean, I’m crazy?
Tis the season of giving, my friend
Looks like I’ll have to find another
Under the mistletoe, to apprehend

Old books sitting on a shelf

Not sure if I’ve read them all myself

Bindings with edges, chipped and peeling

Make them seem ever more appealing

Thinking I should open them up, peruse

Wondering which one I should choose

I’ve decided, this is the perfect book!

I’ll get lost in the waves with “Captain Cook”

I think Michelle does this on purpose

Makes my writing become quite a circus

She comes up with these prompts

And my brain cells get stomped

Wondering what she has, next, for us

My poems begin with hogwash

Near the end, I pray, rather posh

But as you can see, I’m a true devotee

Hope I’ve tackled her words with panache

Spirits transcend the waters

Gliding through shadows

Unafraid of the muck

Layered below, for they know

Beneath, the mire contains

Another lost soul, searching

For a chance to find his way

Into the greater unknown

For Cookie  ❤


I decided to make a dreidel
But I didn’t have the slightest notion
How to even begin this endeavor
Still, I wanted it filled with emotion

So I grabbed a block of wood
And began to chisel away
Hoping to carve perfection
To celebrate Hanukkah’s days

I painted on the Hebrew letters
Purple, green, red and blue, to begin
“A great miracle occurred there”
Symbolized by nun, gimmel, hay and shin

I thought I did a pretty good job
With this new found toy, I played
Now I pass it on to you, my friend
With love, from my heart, it was made
