John Bliven Morin Poems

Daedalus watched the birds on high,
And wished that he could also fly;
But he did more than wish, bright man,
He studied wings and made a plan.

Sausage and onions,
And deep mozzerella,
Ground beef and mushrooms
Make life vita bella;
...

The Princess Rapunzel lived high in a tower,
Where a wicked old witch had once placed her,
And day after day, from hour to hour,
Deep boredom and lonliness faced her.

Once there was a lonely bear,
Who lived in the land of I-Don’t-Care;
Who did what he did
With a shuffle and a shrug,

live a very tiny family in a walnut shell;
You may pass them by and never know,
for they're very, very small in their bungalow.
...

And through Usher’s flat,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a bat.
...

“Drain the bowl, each fearless soul!
Let the world wag as it will;
Let the heavens howl, the devil growl,
Drain the bowl, and fill! ”
...

“You’re drunk again, George.”
“That’s my own affair.”
“You’ll wake up the kid.”
“I don’t friggin’ care.”

CHEESE: 'Slice me! Slice me! '
...

Who will go where the standing stones stand,
when the fog rolls in and covers the land,
when the moon is hidden in a cloudy sky,
and the night is as dark as a raven's eye,
...
