A Coat and Shoes for Halloween

halloween pumpkin face image pictures, backgrounds and images





Watching his reflection waver

on heat waves of the old man’s soul,

the young man sweated poison and said,

“I’m naked old dawg, give me your coat!”



Twice around the sun like an ancient notion

the old man…

I Am Lakhota

I am Lakhota

by Londis Carpenter



In the bygone time, of an age sublime, in the long of long ago,

by means arcane, which I can’t explain, I once lived by knife and bow.

Though I can’t forswear in truth my tale; it is woven out of dreams,

(a fabric made of memories that only night-time brings).



Alas! These tales gush from my soul when midnight casts her spell.

They fill…

Axeing the X Chromosome: Female Foeticide in India Today





In yesterday’s paper I saw a story about a woman who’d given birth to

twins, a boy and a girl. Apparently, she decided that she couldn’t take

care of both of them. Therefore, she took one of them (this was recorded

by CCTV cameras in the maternity ward of the hospital; and what were

CCTV cameras doing in maternity wards, huh? Well, actually, I admit

closed-circuit cameras in maternity wards may sound…

Feathers & Wings

The Big Four Zero

Many years ago, when I was a teenager, I decided (and I

remember writing in my diary...you remember what a diary used to be?

Those secret things in which we wrote stuff which we now shout out to

the world on blogs like this one, which, of course, is your favourite?)

that I would never be forty. No, I’d rather die at the age of 39 years

and 364 days, or something lesser. Forty? Why, forty was the end of the

world! Forty was...…

Poem: Called To Worship

Remember the Lord, your God;

He can turn your mourning into dancing.

Refrain from being silent!

Honor Him with continual praising.

Renew your life, mind and conscience,

by spiritually touching God’s realm;

conquer all of life’s obstacles

and prevent your soul from being overwhelmed.

Stand firm – you are redeemed!

Your obligation is to never forget,

that you’ve inherited a sacred mission;

go now forth as Jehovah’s prophet.

You possess the keys…

Poem: Daily Intercession

What an amazing sight, it must be!

Seeing Christ seated on His throne,

as He offers a continual covering on behalf

of those that He considers His own.



Many have often wondered ‘why’,

as observed in the following question:

If Christ’s mission on Earth was fulfilled,

then ‘Why does He make for us daily intercession?’



Beside Jehovah, robed in holy righteousness,

Christ, our personal defender, pleads our case;

for Jesus is uniquely qualified; He…

A Country For Old Men

This morning my son came to visit me.



This is such a rare thing nowadays that I knew right away that something

must be wrong. He only comes to me when he has, as he says, problems to

sort out.



I was sitting in my wheelchair tending to the plants in the border along the outside path. I don’t really need the wheelchair,

of course, not yet – I can get along on my own, more or less – but…

Weep no more



I took you into my arms that night,
when you were assailed by sorrow and fits of fright,
the dark might of a night of life sorrowful strife,
that made you feel like you wanted to take that kitchen knife,
to cut your wrists and let the crimson flow,
to let the sorrow seep unto the kitchen floor,
no more lifes sorrows to infect your soul,
to leave it torn like a body…
