A poem about Christmas that a lot of my fellow man will be going through this year in this tough economy.

Two boys holidaying with their families on a new Zealand beach in summer have plenty of imagination and lots of time to fill in. A middle-aged couple are trying to bridge a communication gap after their only daughter has left on an overseas holiday.

Christmas coming
Handling stress of the holiday season.

A poem about Thanksgiving.

Three Haiku to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Christmas.

It’s Halloween.

The following poem is from a collection of 41 written by me to try describing Huntington’s Disease (HD).

Because of the constant drains on sufferers and carers the need for respite care is very important. However, there are very few places for families with HD to go to where the special equipment and knowledge of the illness is available.

Here I have tried to imagine a family actually being able to find such a place that will take them as a family unit. Even then, I can’t imagine the wife in this case will have been funded or accepted without a fight to get there.

Halloween.

A short macabre tale for Halloween Night.
