Spooky spider,
Eight-legged beast
Looking for a fly
On which to feast.
Spooky spider
Under my bed;
I cannot sleep
You might crawl on my head.
Spooky spider,
Oh what a dream

My doggy lost his bone
And now he feels so sad;
My doggy will not play with me,
And that makes me so mad.
I looked inside his doghouse;

I looked inside of my house; . . . more

Ring tailed sleeper
thrumming purr
quilted wrap
of kitty "fur".
Whisker sense
cool wet nose
claws retracted
peaceful pose.
Stretched obliquely
sinewed might
resting,
awaiting night. . . . more

Little Spaceman
I am a little spaceman,
racing through the stars,
In my cardboard rocket
I'm on my way to mars,
The journey won't be easy
I have rationed all my food,
I will stop of for some . . . more

The Monster Sleeps
In oak tree the monster sleeps,
His quilt too short it shows his feet,
As nothing dares to make a sound,
Except the moon-kissed nightly owl,
Tucked up in bed the monster stirs,
But . . . more

Big Feet
Wet mud squirting up through my toes,
Splashing the puddle up to my nose
Huge Feet
Standing on one foot, posed like a tree.
Nobody balances better than me

staring at me from the plate
gauntlet tossed for battle
fruit cocktail eyes agawk
the jell-o joust begins.
Shimmering, ever elusive
parry, thrust, and jiggle
lance of spoon and laughter
unchewable . . . more

TV Hero
I want everyone to see me when I show up.
When grownups squat to ask, I just reply,

My Mama bought a Heffalump
he's very very sweet
a sunny afternoon upon
our balcony we meet.
He whispers silly things to me
so soft and cuddly too
he's violet just like my name . . . more

Wind swirled
kite unfurled
aloft
into its
kitely world.

Energy,
thrill of flight,
oneness with . . . more

and saw a goblin there;
She gave the goblin a little treat,
and the goblin gave her a scare.
She opened up the front door,
and a witch entered the room;
She gave . . . more

Lies the Tavern of Motley Fright,
Frequented by gnomes and dwarves and crones
And mages in need of a bite.
The cook presides over bubbling cauldrons,
The barkeep is . . . more
