Ho-Ho-Ho!

 

HO-HO-HO!
(a shadorma)

Each year I
wait, with cookies and
milk, trying
to stay a-
wake to hear him exclaiming:
“I am Ho-Ho-Home!”

Who’s My Boss?

 

WHO’S MY BOSS?
(a shadorma)

A boss is
not always easy
to work for…
so I choose
to work not to please man, but
the King Of All Kings.

A Mess From A Bottle

 

A MESS FROM A BOTTLE
(a shadorma)

She watched her
hero disappear.
It wasn’t
overnight;
the villain emerged slowly…
one shot at a time.

Recollection

 

RECOLLECTION
(a shadorma)

Shooting star
wishes, moonlight dreams…
collected,
cherished, held
in my heart; given new life
with each breath I breathe.
