IT
With your red balloons and sinister frown
You haunt our dreams and instill fear
But we can't help but admire you, dear
Your powers, oh how they amaze
With illusions and tricks, you leave us in a daze
But deep down, we know it's just a game
For you, dear Pennywise, are not to blame
You see, we understand your plight
For all you wanted was to give us a fright
But in the end, it's just a lonely sou...
Opening Pitch of The ‘13 Baystars Season
_A Horatian Ode to Junpei Iori._
The rookie fiddles with his chin
As marching organ sounds begin,
The pitcher eyeing up his prey
His winning hunger pains the day.
He spits upon the ball of thread
And raises it above his head
The fastest bowl to start the show
A made career with killing blow.
The bat it cracks against the sky
It disappears! Home run, they cry!
He hits it hard again all spring

Ode to Fruit (or someone with fish-lips)
With a mouth like that you can only clench,
affix your teeth to my ribs.
From your occipital; sprouts lush, blench
willows bloom rich, sage, Sierra Figs.
Dissonance lies behind his glassing eyes.
Agronomists permeate peas throughout my pod.
As my propagating ego shies,
you'll see you've gutted Cod.
Now, not one wench shall endure your sour stench,
your young seedling ...

Lovesick Forever
Why would I drop everything that I have everything that I loved for him?
Pleasing and giving and loving and praying this all works out in the end.
I wait and I help, I support and I love, just to be thrown down again.
I’d change anything for him I’d die again and again, in this lovesick forever I feel that I’m in....
Cheesy Love
I couldn’t help feeling dreary
After your decree.
My heart had grown weary
As it yearned for thee.
Oh, but how it had swelled deep in my breast.
It shattered my will to seek and confess.
While I couldn’t help but appreciate in wonder;
I heard that thy heart fell for another
Broke you from slumber,
Ailing in bed, for the depth
Of the thoughts exploding your head.
Betrothing thy crop, thy will, ...
Ghosthunters
Piled up dishes,
Paint flakinge from the windows,
The smell of damp.
No one’s been here in this limbo
Until the century’s breaking
But from above there’s one step,
Then another.
Another ghost hunter or the little brother?
It’s the former
He’s on the stairs
“2 kids,” he said “2 kids died here.”
His EMF in hand is flashing.
At the windows, the rain is lashing.
“2 kids,” he repeats
He sha...
