Your days have become grey
As has your beard
You keep a quiet company
Where only the the stillness of sand talks
Whispering on the wise
To watch and wait for a wandering son
(This poem is inspired by the character of Ben Kenobi from the film Star Wars: A New Hope.)
Find that itch!
Oh that’s so much better!
A good old scratch
Behind my ear
Sends me to sleep
In fluttering clouds
Of soft furry white
Yawns!
Atreyu. goodnight!
(This poem is inspired by the character Falkor from the film The Neverending Story.)
Merry weather is the sky
That keeps its watchful gaze
On hobbit hills and trundling carts
Young and old and foolish hearts
Harvest crops through valleys green
‘Til dims the sky
To an eventide beam
(This poem is inspired by The Shire from the film series The Lord of the Rings.)
Fingers tremble over keys on high
Dodging dungeons
Climbing ladders in the sky
Fishing with friends
And tunnels that bend
The future’s is in a pickle
Will the dream ever end

Her silent breath has laid in wait
And now it rises
With the tenderest of ripples
A dewy kiss
Caressing water’s crest
(This poem is inspired by the film Excalibur.)
Bodies without organs
Driven to dance
Their lifeless dream
An otherworldly overture
In an eerie trance
(This poem is inspired by the film Carnival of Souls.)
His face is the land
Knowing and solemn
And grey and black are his thoughts
Weighing heavy on wretched soil
On which stalks a lonesome
Soul in tormented abyss
(This poem is inspired by the novel and film versions of Wuthering Heights.)
Punxsutawney Phil, Punxsutawney Phil
Do you predict a winter chill
Or do you smell a soft spring heat
Twitch your nose
And repeat, repeat
Repeat!

What’s up Maggie, why so aloof
You’re like a cat on a hot tin roof
Dressing me down while you’re dressing up
Leaning on me like some kinda crutch
What’s up Maggie, why so bitter
You got a problem with a bit of liqueur
Clawing my mind with your unsaintly stink
Now quit your yelling, I sure need a drink
(This poem is inspired by the play and film version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.)
Take time to dream
Contented thoughts
Distort this blissful sleep
And fork into woods
In frabjous wander
(This poem is inspired by the novel and film versions of Alice in Wonderland.)
