And some unknown....

with the Hungry Caterpillar plushy, 
enveloped by paper, for my cute new

It made my day
To see you smile
I want to cry
As day by day 
You get bigger
You stuck out your tongue
Opened your big blue eyes
My little nephew
I sure do love you...

Gargle with jelly 
Said my little nephew lenny
While making car noises 
Watching the Tele
Wanted to try it but he wouldn't let me
So I got a big stick and poked his fat belly...

My nephew whose first name is Dennis 
With ladies he loves to play tennis
But he is so fickle
Their tonsils he’ll tickle
Young Dennis is a truly a menace!

Dearheart
You precious little thing
Tiny in my arms
Small and fragile
I think I’ve met you somewhere before
There is a quiet knowing between us
An unspoken bond
Hello old friend
It’s nice to see you again...

The women who you call your mother 
She is not necessarily the same for me 
I am her faithful brother –in- law 
So by the relation i am your lovely uncle
And you are my cute nephew 
Please, don’t ask me to worship her....

         Behold a poet
rebounding yet again from
         another death

    Nephew to the poet

           die he did
             "once" 
        saith Jehovah

         never again

Three strangers visited me today, 
each one a little sadness in their eyes
nephew, niece, a wife is who they say.
I stare while faces say their short goodbyes.

Fresh strangers will later bring me tea
and tell me that my name is Rosalee....

Frightening witches are scary, ghost and ghouls are all a wreck.
Horrible gargoyles and vampires will bite your little neck.
My four-year-old nephew shushed me. I thought what the heck?
You are scaring the jack-o-lanterns," He said. “Stop Uncle Beck!"...

the snow is nice and cool
when there is a lot I stay home from school
tubing with my brother, 
getting yelled at for it by my mother
making snowmen with my nephew 
if I stay out to long I turn blue
the snow glistens in the sun,
Oh isn't winter fun...

shipbuilder’s nephew




. . . . flotsam and jetsam of culture 
drifted and piled haphazard 
a finger-drawn life structure 
while all the smells of fish and wrack
and shipwrecks linger anew
around this jumbled stack
a shipbuilder’s nephew . . . ....

Loving sighs and lullabies and kissing you goodnight

Loving you as you love me and keeping you in sight

Gum in hair and spilled milk scares

and teaching you to turn on the light

My bond with you means so much, 

yet I've run out of things to write....

My nephew Sammy
is sweet, smart, and talented.
Three dogs are his “kids”
whose ears get dyed cute colors.
They go everywhere with him.

My nephew came out
about the fact he is gay
on his Facebook page.
I’m sure his announcement was
was no surprise to anyone!...

Can you see me?
Skin dark,
Eyes brown,
Blood Red
Anger has shown.
I am someone's
Son, nephew, grandchild
Even in a world so cruel
Where violence is everywhere.

Can you see me?
A man with a heart
Not my skin color
Or my class
But see me as a human being.

Minnie Minsky shops at Hinky Dinky
Her nephew  on the farm Punky Spuky tried to milk a donkey

Other cousin Cindy Dingy loved chocolate Twinkies™
While at the zoo spunky, sticky, stinky monkey gives whiskey to the donkey

Ask for life's best,
Taste love each day;
Keep your fond zest,
Intent moves play;
Now live fine quest.
Take time to live,
Apt happy fest;
Note joy you give.
