Halloween Scrooge

Forget Halloween!
All those begging, grubby hands
Outstretched for candy!

Jonestown

Disturbing power.
A field of corpses: followers
Who drank the Kool-Aid.

Mean Emails

Every clicking key
Pounded with fingers of rage . . .
Brave behind email.

Dress Up

Playing with make up.
Dressing up in Mama's clothes.
Growing up so fast!

Family Gathering

Family gathering:
Generations united
Around the table.

Sitting in Starbucks

Sitting in Starbucks,
Psuedo-intellectuals
Talk about nothing.

Punishment

Counting blue flowers
While standing in the corner.
Ugly wallpaper.
