GINGERBREAD MEN
By: Cynthia DiSciullo and William Zigmont
Just southwest of Middletown resided Gingerbread Fred
A plump and portly holiday treat who wore buttons of red
Loved and et all his vanilla crème
Causin’ screams from two m&m
“Help me… help… oops…my buttons popped!” he said
T’was a last Thursday before Christmas when Gingerbread Fred
Did something that [...]

THE CHRISTMAS DRESS
By: Cynthia DiSciullo and William Zigmont
A Celebration of Delaware ~ Odessa’s Odessa Fire Hall
Oh my, oh me, how incredibly beautiful I will be
The belle of Christmas day, you must come and see
I couldn’t believe it when it came to the very final fitting
Normally no one notices me much, tucked away and sitting
But there [...]

Do you reminisce the day when we first met in our life?
Do you remember who was the first one, who saw?
Can you keep in mind the day, we spoke first, ever?
And tell me who uttered the first word?
Tell me my beloved, tell me.
Do you remember that day obviously, and
Enjoy the ecstasy, that day gave you?
And [...]

The blisters that don’t hurt
The burn that did.
To keep the chapped lips
That lie within.
To you I write
To miss and have your rite
Love’s Lust
The appeal of the apparent
To clench thy teeth is to be at will in a box
To be studying is to be researching the within.
Sometimes unworthy but always worth
The nails that grow long are [...]

Hypnotized, mesmerized, illegalized
Bound by government and god-payrents
No more guns for you little girl
I never wanted them in the first place Mr.!
Weathering the storm that will ensue
She’s inspired by something (but it’s not really her)
It flows and it’s mine, she proclaims.
“I’m a listless flower waiting for the last stages of bloom” she explains.
The cherry poppin’ prick of a [...]

Ever present was the feeling,
He was missing out on life,
When the girl he met got pregnant,
And he took her as his wife.
Many plans were in his future,
Many things that he would do,
Now he has a wife and baby,
And he feels his life is through.
Though he tried to be courageous,
Though he tried to be a man,
He [...]

A- bomb absent to God
present star’s floating light.
Back-cross wears nothing
naked to silence.
Cemeteries count the dead.
Ready for civilization.
Clamshells for bullets.
Masks made from cedar dome.
Draft- horse mermaids polishing
shoes, silver in their eyes.
Velcro imagination.
Exposed butterflies.
Rainbows echo.
Countless earth bares
free life.
Frantic life.
Bloom referring to
beauty.
Judging colors.
Reformation from birth.
Recollect intermission.
Follow inner dreams.
Ravish shade.
Straddle the night’s stone.
Blind motionless sun.
Glazier angels glued.
Glossily disfigured shadows.
Red-leaf [...]

To the tune of “Town Without A Pity”
I met her at the grocery store,
And I said, “Hello”, but she just swore,
And that caught me by surprise,
I could not believe my eyes,
What a girl with PMS would do.
I asked her on a lovely date,
But her eyes were red and full of hate,
Then she said, “Just take [...]

When friends are gone
Family is there for you, but you feel the need for a one on one friend.
When you failed at your test, when your dreams seems far fetched, when you are alone, no one around who truly understands you.
Not a friend remained in spite of how they claim to have known you.
Not [...]

This poem is based on an actual dream that I had.
I had a dream the other day,
Its vision will not go away,
About some people dressed in gowns,
(I know how strange this story sounds.)
Each gown was separate from the rest,
With different colours they were blest,
And everyone had points of view,
And revelations that were new.
They studied scripture, [...]
