Has me thinking of A Midsummer Nights Dream.
Vivid chipper wee poem.
Otherlands (Poetry) - 9/4/2023 8:34:25 AM
Love the fantasy and the rhyme.
Otherlands (Poetry) - 5/13/2023 9:42:06 AM
Very lyrical and wonderful to read. So fanciful with an illustration that fits perfectly.
This seems to be more of a child's dream than an adult one. My dreams, perhaps because of my belief and action never include these kinds of creatures.
Always good to see you posting occasionally.

The House On The Hill (Poetry) - 11/1/2022 9:20:48 AM
The problem is you captured me "at the end of the road." I could have been that low-hanging ghost.
The House On The Hill (Poetry) - 10/31/2022 10:56:20 AM
You must have been "captured," because it seems like you only return with a Halloween poem at this time each year. We need to see your poems more often like this classic one you have written from inspiration of your painting. I love the little black cat peeking from from his perch on the branch.
Ron

Delightful and most apt and timely. I took up your challenge and posted a new Halloween poem here today. I have written many poems (several rhyming acrostics) on this theme. I always enjoy it for some reason. Happy Halloween to you, Sherry,

I'd have to pick Stanza 6 (not the Kostanza, I hope! Halloween...a holiday for the un-restful of us!) to inspire the following added hearse, er...VERSE (Stanza 10):
"Six brain cells from Biden,
Some loose screws from Sanders
And a lobotomised Harris,
All afflicted with Glanders!"
Voila! Poetic justice! Thanks for presenting us with this ghoulish opportunity for politically incorrect poetry, Sherry, even if I am cheating a bit here!

Soul Searcher (Poetry) - 9/21/2021 9:44:24 AM
Sounds like a Republican to me (lol)
but he is too shallow for politics. It looks like he
is too afraid to jump, just wants attention. He's a
coward, and that gets a bit chunk of humanity.
Soul Searcher (Poetry) - 9/21/2021 8:21:59 AM
Now I know why I miss your presence here. But so glad that you have posted this intriguing and mysterious poem. Many thoughts raced through my mind as I read. Some of them paralleling what the others have written. Certainly there are metaphors for something real. But what is it?
May I venture that you are describing the lonely life of a vampire?

Soul Searcher (Poetry) - 9/19/2021 10:20:48 PM
The saddest thing in life is to live in false friendship. To be surrounded by fake friends who only idolize you for who they want you to be, and not the person who you want to become. To be true to oneself we need to ask the child within us who do we want to be.
Sometimes, though one is surrounded by many friends and seems happy but in fact is the loneliest he/she may feel inside.
This poem is intriguing.
Sandie
Soul Searcher (Poetry) - 9/19/2021 2:57:47 PM
Well expressed and with so much insight into the life of romance we all seek and with luck get to experience at least once in a lifetime. Even if the relationship may not endure forever...the love will if it is true.
Fee
Soul Searcher (Poetry) - 9/19/2021 1:54:52 PM
I find your poem powerfully engaging and meaningful. I can so relate to this theme that you express here through your verses, Sherry. I have always mourned the loss of childhood innocence as I witness it being eroded by this life/world. That is why I have never been "insulted" when people keep asking when I plan to "grow up." That ship has sailed. I do not have plans to "grow up." 😊 Love, peace, and best wishes to you, Sherry.

I can't imagine what kind of green crap comes out of those engines! Taking the witch's ride to a whole new level. Wonder if we can hear them cackling near the moon? Probably little kids can when they spot them scooting across just before their jump back in bed and pretend that they were fast asleep.

Supersonic Broomsticks (Poetry) - 10/27/2020 3:19:51 PM
Why limit it to supersonic? Why not make a quantum leap? Unless there's a limit to witchery's acumen, of course! I sense a political analogue in this but perhaps it's just my warlockian senses rousing themselves awake! Regardless, I enjoy this one, since as a former card-carrying 'supersonicker', anything that goes that fast deserves my respect. As Tom Cruise so amusingly put it in the original 'TOP GUN' film of 1986, "I feel the need! The need for SPEED!" :) Witchever witch wins, may the best one do so! -K2

It's good to see you posting poetry again. But of course, on Halloween with this dreadful tome of great heartache. But there is A Lesson: Unless you are very sure that what you are placing as a tattoo on your skin will last as long as you do, I would hesitate to put something there that will go away with a whim, do not put it permanently on your skin.

A Magic Box Of Rain (Poetry) - 11/1/2015 9:01:26 AM
From the beginning, I couldn't understand why you are using the mournful, "rain," instead of something more uplifting like, "moments," or "thoughts." And then, I came to the conclusion of your poem where you describe them as all the tears of the relationship that have mellowed into soothing rain and I saw what you really meant by a box of rain.
So rarely does poetry explain itself so clearly. Bravo! No wonder you were so eager to write this poem that popped into your head and share it with your grieving friend.

I'll try to write a Halloween poem for adults tomorrow.
I'm responding to your poem from the e-mail that I got yesterday. I had trashed this e-mail and then checked all the poems on the new poetry list. Lo and behold, this poem was not there! You need to check with AD administration to see why your work isn't being listed.

Originally that is why people dressed up as witches or ghost, ghouls, werewolves, mummies and such, The real monsters wouldn't catch them. People centuries ago were very superstitious. You have written this one well sis, thank you for sharing.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love and who love you, and be with you always and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

My first time to your site and I can see that we are kindred spirits in our thoughts re: the sad state of a once great America! You have told it like it is, Sherry, and I, for one, am glad you did. An awesome poetry offering. You have a new fan!

wizardly wonders will howl, but seldom as well as this witchy ode
Broomsticks (Poetry) - 11/2/2011 10:11:00 AM
Totally love that picture's caption - a classic! Has a picture-book quality to it, Sherry, that, for me, takes the horror out of Halloween and replaces it with something altogether more palatable (in the blood, gore and terror stakes!) Reminds me to check my face in the mirror this evening...! :)) xx

Much peace, love and light, and Happy Halloween!

A howling good write. Your picture reminds me of the scariest witches I ever saw–those in the Wizard of Oz. My brother's wife, is still a good looker at 70, dressed up for a witch picture with her granddaughter last week. Except for some green coloring for her skin, she doesn't need any makeup to look the part.

Beautiful poem, very inspirational indeed but, Sherry do not wish to come back like any other cat as you would otherwise have to fend for your life in a tough war situation if you happen to be a Somali cat!. Smile.

I Never Dared To Say Goodbye (Poetry) - 7/28/2011 11:06:07 AM
I am so so sorry for your loss and the pain of regret. Its taken a long time for me to compose myself enough to review this one. What an amazing poem, thankyou so much for writing it, I could have written it about myself (except that I wouldn't have done such a good job) The man I loved died not knowing how I felt about him, we were soulmates for ten years and one word we never could learn was "goodbye" It is his birthday today. Reading your poem has really helped. Thankyou soooooooo much. Hugs. God bless. Baz

Sherry,
I have 13 cats and I have to agree. You feed and water them, clean their litter box, they have it made! But I couldn't live without my babies and their unconditional love. I really enjoyed this, and yes, I think the cats of today were very good people reincarnated. Purrfect.

Cats (Poetry) - 7/9/2011 6:13:11 AM

Hey girl, its good to see you writing, you have been missed...now as for cats, well, I can pet them and be friends with them, just can't live with them as I love dogs...and I will have another one day again, but for now I have no pets except my stuffed ALF doll...;-) ed
Cats (Poetry) - 7/9/2011 4:02:39 AM
I don't believe, as does George, that cats are supreme. They have that haughty facade about them, and they are geared to be more free. Dogs are the opposite, they love unconditionally, and am always happy to see you, always wanting to please. I like cats and believe that more women like cats than men is because of their wild nature and unpredictably, much like the human female species. Good to see you again, Sherry.
Cats (Poetry) - 7/9/2011 1:22:29 AM
I don't believe in reincarnation, but if I were to come back to life, I'd want to be a cat. Cats rule and dogs DROOL (sorry, dog fans)! Adorable poem that describes a cat with a capital C!! And Sidekick and Jackson are both precious! Awwe!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :D +purring contentedly at this poem+

We can see many thingsin our dreams and go anywhere and do anything. Some of our dreams become reality and a goal in life. Other dreams are just life's whimsy, a fantasy that takes our mind on a surreal journey while we sleep. Oh what can it mean, when we but dream?
Thank you sis for this lovely poem and thank you so much for making me smile. :-)

Ship Across The Moon (Poetry) - 1/11/2011 5:13:09 PM
Oh how wonderful! It reminded me of our 'Ship of Dreams' which I sailed in across the world with my grandchildren! It was our sofa...but it transformed when we all boarded it together...This poem has a lovely childlike feel to it and reminded me in some ways ofthe classic 'The Owl and the Pussycat'...Thoroughly enjoyed every line! (I have recently bought a new sofa... and the 'ship of dreams' has sadly gone forever..)Love and Hugs, Diana...
Ship Across The Moon (Poetry) - 1/10/2011 1:25:37 PM
So visual, Sherry, I could see this ship as if she lived and breathed high up in my windows!
Her sails were white as fallen snow
Her rails waxed to glossy shine
Her portholes clear as fresh blown glass
With no mist from dulling brine
Beautifully sing-song and atmospheric... a sure winner with adults and children alike. We two DO seem to be in the wars! Rest up and mend... you've learned a new skill already! Thanks also for your good wishes. Am doing fine! xx

Hollow (Poetry) - 10/9/2010 3:53:23 AM
This reminds me of the song One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)where she sings:
"Go ahead and hate your neighbor
go ahead and cheat a friend
do it in the name of heaven
you can justify it in the end
there won't be any trumpets blowing
come the judgment day
on the bloody morning after
one tin soldier rides away".
There are way too many charlatans in our country professing to be the voice of God almighty, but yet, one minister says burn the Koran and another says yoga is unchristian like. So, where do we go from here?
We are borrowing money from China and other countries just to stay afloat. What agreements did our government make for this bailout? Has our democratic principles been buried in the sand, never again to be found?
As long as Old Glory waves above my head, I will be glad to call myself an American, and I will defend the freedoms that Old Glory and Lady Liberty stand for. This reminds me of Lee Greenwood's song God Bless The USA, where he says:
"And I'll gladly stand up,
next to you
and defend her still today
cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless The USA".
Let freedom ring from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, let the freedom of the ages come back and gives us that mighty spirit we once had that we fought so well against King George, and to keep this country whole in the civil war, and how we fought with bravery against the Kaiser, against Adolf Hitler, and communist china in Korea and Vietnam.
"On second thought
I do like to brag
I'm mighty proud
of that ragged old flag"
So let's keep God's light shining on thee from sea to shining sea.
Thank you for sharing sis and sorry for the rant, but when I read of people demeaning what our country is all about and the principles we stand for, my blood just boils. GO AMERICA!
May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister Barbie.

A modern day Isaiah!
Remarkable poem, seeing beyond the smokescreen; avoiding the sleeping gas. Being Awake!
Poignancy, as I've never read before.
I wonder how many have read this, but dissed it?
If America were to come out and speak like you, brave and true. It would win its respect again. And we'd here the founding fathers cheer!
This is quality.

Hollow (Poetry) - 9/10/2010 3:11:44 PM
Sherry, you hit the nail on the head. I, a majority of one, will always stand up to those [even from my own family] who want to rape our planet and get away with it, throw our freedom to the wind to save their assets unworked for, and screaming religious belief that would make Jesus roll over in his grave.

A salutory yet clear-eyed view of what appears to be taking place all over in unquenchable streams of madness yet also in the name of progress and democracy. Commerce and politics practice their own views of expedience and they are seldom ones that make for the global common good... only their instigators' short-term goals. Yes, Sherry... no matter what we might sit down to write about, the subconscious will have her say. Right between the eyes, this one. Bless you. xx
Hollow (Poetry) - 9/10/2010 2:55:30 AM
The numbers are changing and it's you and I who are doing it. Never silence one voice or freedom is lost and you are enslaved. In the book of life you write the next chapter. Do not be intimidated or afraid to stand for your rights under the Constitution of the United States.
