PUMPKIN PICK-IN
At fifty-four (54) years old, I still become excited like an
anxiety victim. Heart pounding, dry
mouth, seeking out the most desirable orange, global beauty! I am taking about a pumpkin!
My dad and I had a tradition when it came to this
sport. We spent the entire day picking
and choosing the most rounded, perfect pumpkin nature produced that
season. As usual we would find that
perfect specimen. Then on the way home
from the farm, there was an ice cream soda waiting for me and the neighborhood
ice cream parlor. That evening our
tradition continued as dad took out his magical oil crayons drawing the perfect
face on our gourd. It was a special day
I looked forward to as dad and I would do some awesome bonding as father and
daughter.
The day did arrive I so dreaded. It was time for my dad, Matty Boy, to go back
home. Not only will our pumpkin hunting
be missed, but the world is minus one good human being!
Now our ritual is passed down to my daughter Denyce. My daughter and I go gourd hunting with the
same excitement I had with dad. My
father may not be on this Earth physically, but I drag his spiritual body to the
patch
Last week brings such warm and fuzzy thoughts, as Denyce
and I went on our quest, but this time we went to a farm where you actually cut
the pumpkins from the vine. Unlike a big
field of orange hues as far as the eye can see.
You would have thought we died and went to Heaven as we went around this
huge farm exploring before we actually cut our victim! Our faces were hurting from smiling too much!
After a while and I mean a great deal of time has passed,
Denyce and I were in the middle of this acre upon acre of pumpkins. We were becoming exasperated, for our beauty
queen winner could not be found! Just
then I decided to call upon the great pumpkin king, my dad! “Matty Boy, find us a country fair winner
with blue ribbons and all”! Then I went
one step beyond and asked the impossible.
“Dad, Denyce loves the color pink, can you find a pink
pumpkin for us”? As fast as I said this,
my eyes suddenly became heat seeking missiles as they zoned in to a certain
area. The sun’s rays poured down from the
heavens illuminating a pink pumpkin!
Trumpets from angels could be heard!
There it was all by itself. It reminded me of a Cecil B. DeMilles
movie. When the clouds dispersed and the
sun shinned in all its glory!! Yeah, you
heard me right, a pink beauty queen pumpkin!
You can bet that from now on we go to the patch, we will
call on the king himself!
So Matty Boy, do your thing for next year ,and this is a
big one. Get your feathered wing ready
and you’re down slippers too, for there might be a bit of walking for this one. This job might call for some fairy dust too,
because next time I want a purple pumpkin!!!
Are you up for the challenge my dear old father?

My Mother is Me! By Laura LaVeglia
There was a time in younger life when I not only made fun of my mother, but really did not fully understand where she was coming from. Mom would constantly mention how fast life speeds by.
A beautiful event or holiday would always end each sentence the same
"God Willing". In moms world this meant if she lived for mention time or place.
I stand here today looking into my magic mirror and the image of mom appears!

I stand here today looking into my magic mirror and the image of mom appears!
I am my mother at fifty-five years old it is my time to worry about the future!
Mom is getting on in age and it saddens me to see her not the same fast witch on a broom. I swore at times that women had a machine or secret ring enabling her to go here and there with the speed of light.
Today emphysema took her magic locking it away for ever.
In a week and a half a jet will propel me to Florida with much need for prosaic after my flight. Seeing her bright face makes me forget my nerves, well just a bit. It has been two years since last we saw each other. I am excited to see her, but there is a side that is not. To view your mother in a whole new way is not easy. Promising myself to take sadness and put it into my pocket each and everyday I am with her
It is not easy seeing our parents age, for we all know the reason for the fear. Death is eminent and much closer then it ever was. Not that age is the only factor for the Grim Reaper to come a knockin, but it does not help!
I am going to enjoy every moment in my favorite place Florida and keep any negativity buried deep.
I could do that!!! If a mother and daughter can finally say they are friends, this is a walk in the park.
Enjoy your life everyday and embrace the good moments!!!! God willing!!!!

There Is No Place Like Home
Outside window on verge of eve, is a chickadee waiting
for warmth
With a powerful lift, painted closed window sees light of
new day
Tied around her beak a beautiful presentation
Silk ribbon heavenly shade of blue, she grips with
precision
She sits so delicately upon her chosen women
There is confusion spiraling about
Her hands shaking as chickadee presents the rice paper
Should she keep its contents wrapped and bound with a
secret to be found?
Excitement keeps her curious
The delicate woman unwraps its light or dark
But before the paper uncurls, silk ribbon intrigues her
senses!
Taking the ribbon across her face caressing its smooth
feel
Realizing it must stop
Procrastination is her middle name!
Moments lately, ephemeral and few
So uncurl my girl and read its tale!
Chosen to go back home with your companion is what it
said!
Confusion took hold as tilt of the head was placed
Now talking so calmly to this bird
Would never have done this act before
This is ludicrous!
My beautiful chickadee what does this mean?
You are going back home to the paradise you once knew
I am your angel to hold you tight
Fly with me as I take your anxiety away tying into a silk
ribbon
This time color of your choice!
Watching the ribbon blow away in the wind
Gracefully following the moon
Taking a journey faintly proverbial
Suddenly luminous white radiance
This comforts woman, realizing blue silk ribbon and its
message
There is no place like home!
Anyone who is very close to me, knows my take on reincarnation and how I believe we will all be living many life's and some more then others. Brought back to Earth to relive our mistakes until we have perfected our human being.
There is a strong believe that I lived in the Victorian Era as a Prostitute and living in jolly old England.
I decided to write a poem about a beautiful young women who's life was taken all too soon!!!!
She was a lady of the evening who lived in the slums of England, but each night she would venture into the better part of town to meet her men.
I hope you enjoy my poem "Why Did't I NotListen to the Crow".

I hope you enjoy my poem "Why Did't I NotListen to the Crow".
Why Did I Not Listen to the Crow
The crow’s raucous voice heard numerous times
On this night there was an air of apprehension
A warning is told, but only if you are tuned to natures
heed!
It was the 1800’s living as a prostitute was a dream or
nightmare
Live was not a picnic
Girl of young years uneducated and pretty
What else do I know what to do but to screw very well!
Watching mama and papa all these years
Brought to my young mind this is the way of life!
So here I am, a Victorian woman of the eve
Crossing this bridge became a way of life
Countless times brings into a world of countless dreams
It is five o’clock in morning
The old wives called it the dying of a crow
An explanation can’t be understood
Tiny hairs on arms are erect as familiar penis
The heart pleads not to enter
I drip with most fragrant desire
Just why not one more time!
This has been heard too many times in my head
A night of ecstasy
Shillings fill my pocket
I dream of the market with all its goodies
Crossing over going back home
Legs unsteady ,because door was left open too many times
There is a crow, but not just some crow
Can’t explain the feeling, I felt tonight
He kept screaming something about a man called Jack
Could it be a vision of love tonight?
If only I would have listened more carefully!
Suddenly the air becomes thicker then the fog
Feelings of vomit fill the mouth
I am scared!
Approaching is a gentleman of a lovely air
Convincing myself that is all that is there
We cross each other’s path as he tilts top hat
Batting my eyes ; feel the moisture once again between
legs
He stops and the tingle continues
There is something shiny glinting in the dark
A coin for thy?
Oh how smitten I deem
He put his arms around
Feeling his hardness, a smile becomes a part of me
Suddenly feeling faint; wetness, but not of the womanly
type
Again, and again he stabs at me
A more sickening sound I have not heard!
It was a knife that shined!
Oh why couldn’t I see!
He cut out my heart and my last breath
Why did I not listen to the crow that night?
He kept screaming “Jack will come to you tonight”!
Stupid me, stupid me!!!

There was a time in my younger life when I not only made fun of my mother, but really did not fully understand where she was coming from. Mom would constantly talk about how fast life speeds by.
A beautiful event or holiday as a family would always end each sentence the same

I stand here today and I am my mother at fifty-five years old it is my time to worry about the future!

Forth of July has been traditionally spent with my best friend and her family for the past twenty-five years.
As always, I was excited to see my friend and gorge on her barbeque feast.
This has been a part of my family for a quarter of a century.
There is a new member in her family. My friend became a grandmother for the first time.
By the way there is a number two on the way any day. This minature gentelmen makes me laugh and puts an extra step in my stride. Getting together these days I not only look forward to seeing friends and family, but my new little friend. His name is Jack and already he is a ladies man.
At two years old, his opinion of my blouse made me so happy

Debut show of the Author's Nook with Laura Grillo Laveglia
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/joeygiggles/2012/09/12/debut-show-of-the-authors-nook-with-laura-grillo-laveglia
This is the archived recording of my show. Very proud of myself!!! Enjoy!
In a few months my second book will be published. "The Butterfly Paradox" is an extension of my first book "Metamorphosis". I have come quite far as a human being and it shows in my poetry. The first fifty poems I wrote were balls of poison held so tightly. Each poem would shed heavy weights from my body.
The second half are funny, light and sometimes heartfelt. I know longer see or feel anger in my words or life!
It is my great pleasure as I look forward to a second accomplishment. My poetry is not only a gift from God but my gift to the world!

The Bodhi Tree
Words simulate dying leafs falling from tree
Find truth within oneself….
Language meaningless as dead wilting leaves wisp away
There was once magnificence with nature
Selfish, meaningless vapors form prison
Chose your expressions cautiously
Do they have feelings from the heart?
Without heartfelt whispers the Bodhi Tree roots firmly
A second coming, a second chance!
Embark upon twigs of boundless beauty
I will ring your bell, so be prepared
Each word, each sentence, losses warmth
Petal by petal drops to the hungry earth
Once tree is naked, man gives up the ghost!
Run through golden meadow
Forgive the ones we truly love
Love is the glue that keeps heart shaped leaves hanging
on
Once your harvest is clear
The Bodhi Tree regains its warmth
Growing , climbing towards golden light
If a beautiful tree comes knocking for thee
Dig deep inside watching tree cultivate your heart
Spiritual enlightment will grace your door!

Lulu the Prostitute
I am Lulu a prostitute who lived in the 1800’s
Velvet and pearls were worn upon skin
Flowing like rivers draping down around
Pressing my fingers and touching my curves
Fullness of breast explode with life
Gentlemen flock my parlor waiting for hours
Kissing each one, I give a wink
For they know what waits
I greet each with passion and longing of long lost lover
There is a bulge before I even touch
A mistress of manipulation!
Walking proud with my head held up high
An ornate bonnet propped proudly upon head
There is a mansion high on the hill calling my own
When I am prowling in town, women scorn me
Giving them a smile, the eyes telling them your man is
mine!
There is barely an education that surrounds me
Well not the kind we find in a one room school house
My degree is the highest earned
Teaching men a trick or two gasping for breath
An ornate jeweled pen tells of tale
Jotting down name of lovers
Again, a smile comes to lips
A longing in my lady wear vibrates with life
Yes, I am a prostitute
Victorian promiscuous beauty
Promises of ecstasy will fill your heart, drowning all sorrow
Skin as smooth as silk bathed in perfume
As I think of you tonight!
My History Lesson
Looking back on life was the hardest thing to do
Battles had to be fought leaving soldiers to die
Even the greatest generals drown in their own water
As a child, preparation for battle was always there
They were many scars throughout time
An alliance was contracted so many moons ago
History would never repeat, not in my existence
Did the soul go on auction?
Just the opposite!
Holding tight, never giving up
The mirror held all my dirty deep secrets
Daily rituals were held
Yes, there were sights reflected back that no man should
see
Holding down the beauty was the hardest lesson taught
“If I could be more like daddy,” became my mantra
The day arrived when I did become my father
It was the deepest abyss one could climb out of
If I could re-write history!
Well I did!
Marks still remain, except they are kept deep in my
pockets
I pull them from my skin and lock them away
Do they still exist?
Sure they do!
Refusing to have history show its dirty face
I would do it all again
The suffering, crying, screaming
History will not repeat itself
I fought hard for my child to never fight in a war
History has been re-written……………
The rest is, well lets’ just wait and see
My Dream
of Copenhagen
Sun glinting
through century old scrolled iron
My breath
was robbed in the most beautiful way
Gazing at
a world I know nothing about
Castles and
canals come together for a captivating walk
Tivoli, a
fairytale starting the moment you leave outside world
Darkness
envelopes and Tivoli begins its charm
Step into
enchanting universe with romance neighboring every corner
Sporting a
copper roof and bounded by moats, Rosenborg Castle
Living
within, “The Royal Jewels”
Cinderella,
do you live there too!
I cannot
tell if I am sleeping or awake
Casting
the window open as my eyes seek a feast
Abodes of
old making me weep
Oh the
stories they could tell
I am ready
as you open your doors, turning each page
Canals of
Venice are shallow in compare
Colors
transporting me to another dimension
It is time
to leave and I can’t bear the thought!
Again, I am
transfix one more time
The
colors, flowers and history
Traveling
with Hans Christian Anderson
Even
hummed the familiar tune
Copenhagen
let the magic begin!
The alarm
clock screamed as I was rudely propelled
It was a
dream, but I know different
Can you keep
a secret……………..
Once upon
a time there was Copenhagen
Love of Lilac’s
Warm breeze dancing
through window, transports intoxicating perfume
Delicately, but
impatiently, coverlet imitates beautiful waterfall
Window is brusquely
thrown open engulfing e morning’s beauty
Purple and blue stars
forming spectacular view
My hands start to shake
as tears fall
Bring perfume to my
boudoir, or bask in its beauty?
Crystal vase beckons its
call
Sun hugging vase,
absorbing and housing its rays
The view is spectacular
Rainbow lights bringing
room new life
I can envision fairies
dancing on bent light rays
My love of the lilac can
no longer wait
Crazy head tells me to
ask
Can I cut your arm?
I will not hurt you as
promises are heard
The little girl would
cry, chopping your life away
Suddenly tiny petals
fall to feet
The new morning is here
Beautiful window to
outside world sleeps
Yet, perfume is so
strong it wakes me from slumber
Crystal vase housing
clusters of lilac greets me
I am engulfed with
beauty, grateful for sharing

Quiet Moment of Beauty
Rolling grassland dotted with trees, magical African Savanna
Serengeti Plains brings animal kingdom together for a dance
I wish a ballet with the elephants………….
Rain has blessed this area
I bath where millions have
Muddy and beautiful come together
Can faintly hear an orchestra that attracts splendor
Meditating on sounds of music
Alone with the world
Where I bath creates circles within circles
Turning there is a precious nudge
A baby elephant has come to play
There is a little one who comes face to face
My hand caressing her face
Her face caressing mine
There was a moment in time where time stood still
Silence was deafening
Grandeur was playing as a majestic theme
We sat eye to eye what seemed like hours
The love between cannot be seen
Our souls intermingled
A quiet moment of beauty
Worldly possessions does not equate
Natures riches bequeaths unpretentious grandeur

The Famous Boy of Neverland
He walks through metropolitan town
Lost boys surgically attached to hip
They wander aimlessly looking for lost and found
A leaders mind is gone
Searching through rubble, a bottle of gossamer dust
What an interesting piece of glass?
He donned it proudly as a prostitute’s bobbles
Compelling a whiff sends boy soaring through air
Catch me if you can, heard audibly in the wind
Boy’s don't cry, will find my mind tomorrow!
Scrolled iron window belonging to aristocratic family
Peeking as he flew; a young ladies bedroom window
She was startled when his decision was made
Standing there in the nude, gave her quite a fright!
A scream that could curdle milk
That evening, plans were ruined
The boy and his gang never seeing a place far, far away
Well in a sense the leader accomplished that
Authorities wrap him in a pretty white coat
Tilting his top hat as he said adieu!
They did not catch on that he could still fly
Another window was found, but not as pretty: just ugly steel
Brusquely landing on a mattress fit for a king
Eyes roll up like tattered shade’s
He caught a fit that’s the conclusion
Give him pretty pills to eat at noon
He found his mind while dining
Do you know who I am!
Lying there resembling a disheveled rag
I am the great Peter Pan and you are my Lost Boys
Forcefully staying gave him the chills
Peter begged for another chance
Some say his chance was granted
Being found dead in the morning giving solace to his weary mind
Lost boys surgically attached to hip
They wander aimlessly looking for lost and found
A leaders mind is gone
Searching through rubble, a bottle of gossamer dust
What an interesting piece of glass?
He donned it proudly as a prostitute’s bobbles
Compelling a whiff sends boy soaring through air
Catch me if you can, heard audibly in the wind

I have been flying on a magic carpet ride for the past month ever since I met Barry Mowles, author and entrepreneur. Barry has given me my first break in the literary world. Barry being a renown poet and author gave the opportunity of a lifetime for other poets and myself.
I am now proud to announce that two of my poems "Living in the Moment" and "The Famous Boy of Neverland" is published in two of Barry's books. "Remember My Name" and "Once Upon a Time".
They can be obtained through lulu publications. If you wish to read them, you will find them in this blog.
As they say without any further hesitation, I would like to proclaim my gratitude.
Barry Mowles I will always be in your debt for taking the time, and more then we can all image, and thinking of the little guys.
I can only pray that from this opportunity that my dream of becoming an author will come true.
Also since Barry lives in Europe, Wales to be exact, that my dream of visiting this part of Europe will feast upon my eyes. When never knows. Maybe a big gala presentation of "Once Upon a Time".
From this moment on, I keep confident that anything is possible. Dreams do come true!
Thank you Barry and may your angels keep you flying!

Rozzy McFinney
This is a story about how the rain from heaven came to earth for the first time
Her name is Rozzy McFinney:
She is a silly old gal who would sit with the birds and enjoy her wondrous life.
Rozzy McFinney was a chatty little girl talking every minute of the day. She would often be seen with food flying out of her mouth. The other little birds sat in amazement staring at this curious pretty, petite bird. Rozzy loved to eat with her plump little friends, sharing and foraging food everyday.
Rozzy was loved by all.
“Rozzy come fly with us” one of the feathered gang explained! “Okay”, said Rozzy so excitingly that she almost fell off the branch. Rozzy’s love for flying was even more fun than eating with friends. “Let me press my nose and watch my gossamer wings bud”, Rozzy would shout. “Will you teach me to fly like you”? Rozzy was only a child among her peers, but smarter than the smarty pants in school that we all know in school!
“Watch Rozzy, here comes a plane”! “Fly lower, don't want your wings to get caught”, screamed Tatty. Tatty is Rozzy’s teacher who would brag about his star pupil.
You knew when Tatty would be proudly speaking of Rozzy. His barrel red chest would pop out even further and his hands would wave in the air. Even his eyes would get as big as the biggest acorn when he spoke about Rozzy.
As Rozzy and her friends soared the countryside, they would be in awe watching children below play, and run in their races. Flying for hours with her feathered friends made the crowd very hungry indeed.
So they all decided to swoop down on the warm brown earth and eat boysenberries then snooze for a while. As the sun began dropping in the sky, back to our home we flew.
Home sweet home at last! Settling in for the night all snuggled together.
Rozzy we are so happy and excited you chose us to sit among the stars at night and fly into the sun at day said Tatty s so proudly!
“But why and why do you love me so”? “Rozzy McFinney, you are a silly old gal and that is one of the reasons why we all love you so”! “You are kind, and generous and always helping us whenever you can”! “We all love you with our heart and soul”!
“You are our little angel we prayed for every night”! “What do you mean” said Rozzy with delight. “Rozzy you are not a little girl, nor are you just a bird, but an angel in disguise training with us birds”! She was so dizzy with this new information.
“Do you mean we live in heaven”, said Rozzy. “Yes”, exclaimed Tatty.
And this is how it rained for the first time on earth. Rozzy was so overwhelmed with joy that her big brown eyes swelled up with water and tears fell to earth. And they fell, and they fell.
So now when you are sad about rain ruining your day, you will think of Rozzy in heaven crying for joy and that will turn your frown into a smile!

My Valentine
The old dress I wore becoming lost in time
Colors once vivid, bold losing brilliant hues
Feelings, smells, sensations lost in a mud hole
My mind trying to grasp on to euphoric reminiscences
Spiraling dimension of mind brings solace and joy
Grabbing on to chains that once held
There was a time when love was exuberate
Orgasms comforted by tears
It was all so primitive comforting my mind
Then bubbles burst brusquely
Did not know the whys
Sitting in a quiet corner brings reasons
At first the water is calm
Oceans start to swell
There are huge waves that crash
The reason thrown at my feet
I was given beauty
I was given it all
If not for a short occasion
Love was felt as thunderous wild horses
Whys ascend to surface
My special love remains until the end of time
Locked away in my chamber
Deep within
I remain eternally grateful
Colors once vivid, bold losing brilliant hues

Orgasms comforted by tears
It was all so primitive comforting my mind
Then bubbles burst brusquely
Did not know the whys
Sitting in a quiet corner brings reasons
At first the water is calm
Oceans start to swell
There are huge waves that crash
The reason thrown at my feet
I was given beauty
I was given it all
If not for a short occasion
Love was felt as thunderous wild horses
Whys ascend to surface
My special love remains until the end of time
Locked away in my chamber
Deep within
I remain eternally grateful

Living in the Moment
The opaque glass bestows insinuation of beauty
Awaking at sunrise, portrays icicles clinging to life
There is coffee and oatmeal waiting for its execution
I feel burst of warmth hiding inside
The dog brushes head on arch of thigh
A child bringing laughter to the mundane
A reflection from window gives hope
Red bird of happiness has shown colors
Maple tree, dressed in all its glory
Luminous presentation for its occupants
Bring me back to present
There is a tear upon my cheek
Remember when
Will this be?
How can I do this without the what?
Then I am cast upon the present
Being thrown against window
A reminder of now
The beauty of simplicity
Forcing to think, I ponder
Living in the present gives comfort
Living in the unknown scares me to blackness
The rose is swelling with life…………….

Never to be forgotten
A man was lying in the street
I knew he was poor
White lose fitting garment
As immaculate as a morning sky
His eyes looked familiar
Kind loving and bright
Blue with white lights
Eyes were glowing
Wife was shown briefly
Dressed in black and white
Slender, dark hair
Beautiful thick wavy hair
A baby was born
I was told he was sick and dying
I asked if the wife knew
She would not understand
Not ready for this lifetime
The whole time, he was sad
Kinder gentlemen I will never meet
I dreamt of Jesus that night
I knew he was poor
White lose fitting garment
As immaculate as a morning sky
His eyes looked familiar
Kind loving and bright
Blue with white lights
Eyes were glowing
Wife was shown briefly
Dressed in black and white
Slender, dark hair
Beautiful thick wavy hair
A baby was born
I was told he was sick and dying
I asked if the wife knew
She would not understand
Not ready for this lifetime
The whole time, he was sad
Kinder gentlemen I will never meet
I dreamt of Jesus that night

My World
Morning conveys tranquil moments, as lilac perfumes air
Birds serenade our world flying across the sky
Petals twirl down dancing as they strike ground
Robins wrench there breakfast
Worms say adieu to the world they once knew
I can feel and sense the morning dew
A new day pronouncing novel developments
Birds serenade our world flying across the sky
Petals twirl down dancing as they strike ground
Robins wrench there breakfast
Worms say adieu to the world they once knew
I can feel and sense the morning dew
A new day pronouncing novel developments
