The Spider
I saw a horrible spider crawl
All down my bedroom wall
Staring with eight beady eyes
Giving me a terrible "surprise"
With eight legs, hairy and black
And three red dots upon his back
He stayed there, looking at me
And three red dots upon his back
He stayed there, looking at me
I am sure he had a smile I could see
So I shouted for my dad
He took a look at went mad
"I'm not touching that, "It's all hairy"
"I'm not touching that, "It's all hairy"
"Take a look; - it’s scary"

I'm a turkey named Pete.
And I’m nobodies treat.
I'm not going to be your dinner,
I'm much too lean and full of bone.
I'm working on being thinner!
Thanksgiving is
all whack
What's wrong with a nice Pancake stack?
I'm not ending up on a plate,
Why don't you try your luck
On a big fat duck!

Lies
She Tells
She
begins to move,
Evil
presences begin to dance
Lies
touch her lips
A
throne, decent she weaves
Troubled
lives she touches
Wicked
hands; -
Altering
plans
Suiting
her purpose
Wicked
desires feed
Pains
of each last breath
She
laughs…

Spell of love
Sing to me my dear,
Let your flames turn
My heart filled with tears;
Watch me as it burns...
Sing to me dear,
Our hearts in vain
Earth starts to shake;
I cast the rain…
Winds blow fast,
For my heart breaks
As the circle is cast
You knew it all along!

In the

Battered
Bridal Bouquet
Battle cry, Oh, no!
It’s more of a
grateful sigh
Hear birds singing.
Beautiful
Before launching
into a sky
So radiant, blue
kissed,
By golden sun; feel
the grass
Beneath your feel,
the wind
There is hope,
progress.

For my heart breaks
As the circle is cast

Feeding Ducks
I tried my luck
Feeding some Ducks
A crocodile lunged at me!
I think I peed my pants
Now I need dried underpants
Oh! Someone please help me!

The
Thinker, the Fighter-
The Poet
We
must reason with it, said the Thinker,
No!
We must fight it, said the Fighter
No,
we must confront it, characterize it,
Said
the Poet!
Then
our words might capture and define it
There
is no agreement. The argument
Is
now new!
They
stand facing each other, angry,
A
divided command

Tea Party
I'm having a tea party,
I'm inviting you
I'm having a tea party
So dink a cup or two!
Scoot down a seat,
Have a slice of cake
It's really quite a "treat"
I'm having a tea party,
I'm inviting you
I'm having a tea party
So drink a cup or two!

Red Beast
Crimson red
Burning bright
Fury within
Starts to fight
Holding within
So no one gets
Feel it burn; -
It doesn't hurt!
Fumes
Slowly leak out
Winds engulf me
Calming - me down
Closing my eyes
Counting to ten
Seeing the Devil
Laughing within...

All Around Me
The depths I reach
Touch not the heights I seek
Pretty in pink masks evil deeds
Perfume hides a decayed stink
And all I see around me
Is tension and disease
Spangled dazzled and teased
Devilishly disguised draperies
Cries moans and strangled pleas
Vacant dazes found interesting
A twirl of my skirt meant to tease
The more I stay here the less I want to leave
Encapsulated heart conveyor belt freeze
Strangled and blinded in the pits of society

Cradling Comfort
A mobile slowly turns,
Calming sounds
Warmth and comfort
Yawns –
It’s sleepy time
Dream, dream
Precious dreams
Little one...

The Organ Grinder
The Organ Grinder
A new day burns
high in the sky
As “Little” puppets
on the ground scurry by
Forgetting their
strings are connected to
The master's
grand machine
They scrape and
crawl along on bended knees
All to no avail
Their all headed
to society's prison cell
The president
stands as Joker grinding the
great machine
The sadistic
puppet master pulling everyone's
Strings
Dragging his crew
to their demise
Screaming, bloody
with horrified eyes
As his “Monkeys” dance
beating their cymbals
To his tune
Michelle Henschel
Dance When You
Can
Howl at the moon and dance with the sun
Struggles to survive before the day is done
Time is fleeting as money and energy is
Slowly depleting
Everything one circular rat race
Set to a familiar frantic pace
Scurrying children on the playground~
Running amongst screams mixed
With happy sounds
A declining Nation swirling the drain
Innocent faces automatically stamped sane
While little trapped rats wail in pain
Children screaming on a runaway carousel
Dad wasn’t there every time I fell
So dance when you can laughing at the
Twisted and inhumane
When you strip away the self-righteous
We are just the same
Finding what little love and
Comfort you can
Michelle Henschel
