A ll the goblins gather round
L onely ghoulies stalk the night
L urking in the ghostly light

Cookies with red and green sprinkles on top
Holly and mistletoe, Mom kissing Pop

Icicles, sleighbells, and Rudolph’s red nose
Waiting Room Zoo

I’m in the doctor’s waiting room.
My mom is counting sheep.
The music they play here could put
an elephant to sleep.
Rise and Shine – Not! (for teens)

Don’t wake me up.
Don’t pound my door.
I need more sleep.
I need much more.
Natural Disaster
©1981 by Susan Noyes Anderson
The house was resting on a slant
(perhaps a cracked foundation).
Inside a scene of chaos
and total devastation.
Why Me?

in the world

zillions of girls
of all the animals
there are
from Timbuktu
to Zanzibar
Dieter’s Lament
©1992, by Susan Noyes Anderson, Infinity Limited
They tell me
that I’m getting

“Dwindling away to

but is it menopause, or you?
