Wig

 Wig (May 2017)


It was something

He had written

About that time...


About a special wig

At a certain shop,

For a magic price,

To a collector.


To say it was "one-of-a-kind"

Would be to say the least!

1781

  1781 The fight against Briton To protect young USA Was at a cost of many men (heroes) That September 8th, 1781, date. They knew freedom was a just cause-- Should causes be needed. General Greene at the command: The men knew they would conquer. That South Carolina plain turned red-- Blood of the fallen and wounded. Their town was on fire: without a shepherd! But, as miracles go, the Brits cavalry Started to leave, shooting while backing away,  Fleeing to their country. Our patriot fathers that died that day Spent their lives for us all. Two hundred plus Years later remembered as brave and American-- My freedom gained by their fall. Thank-you patriots in "sunny spirit land," From this free nation that wouldn't have been. Your memory will never be dead. **after reading Phillip Freneau "To the Memory of Brave Americans"

Baby

 Baby Baby, baby, baby, I been takin' that long walk home tonight... Skittle doo bop, alright. Then, woah! pop! My emergency brakes lock, adoring a girl with big, full lips, across the street at Hoo Doo's lot. Woo, Earth angel, earth angel... Tic-toc, all time stops! Her milk-white half-tops' straps falling off-- she's illustrious! I can't get enough. Here's what my fortune-cookie said: "You have a strong desire for a home and your family comes first." So, applying what I'd read, I exclaimed: "Please, please me vivacious!" Her posture's arched and leaning back, flaunting her legs and waist just for effect. Her hips are arched to her front, as if in climax and she's in a skirt design known as "easy access." Woo, earth angel, earth angel-- God help me to keep it together. My hard wood rod is at full stance though I start walking over to approach her. Suddenly, a Hoo-Doo store employee yells out: "Where is that that th

1666

  1666 Woken from sleep in the dead of night Screams and cries ripping through the quiet I gasped and saw a raw, orange light Jumped up, took my blanket to cover my face: Fire has taken over this place. With one last look, I held my breath. Thought "God if you exist" and made way for the exit. After I had made it out, it was apparent  No one else was around; their shouts could still Be heard inside the flaming house. As I tried to go back and help, Thud, Thump; the roof just let-out. Standing, shaking, my jaw dropped. My family’s cries had just been stopped-- Only crackling fire made sound now. Day after dreadful day I replay it in my mind. The pile of ashes reminding me Of a world gone by a home, a wife & kids, And a prized garden, now just blowing soot around  This empty lot. Ask the maker "ashes to ashes, dust to dust,"  Why not just leave us? This year of our lord Sixteen Hundred Sixty-Six. **after reading Anne Bradstreet's "The Burning of our
