Rich Reitz

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
And this storm is not delightful.
I'm stuck, and my car won't go.
Shovel snow, shovel snow, shovel snow!
...

I love chocolate.
So should you.
Milk chocolate,
Dark chocolate.
...

Children are the future.
Learning is essential.
...

It sounds like tortured screams
It feels like an eternity in fire
It smells like rotting flesh
It tastes like bile
...

...

I am just a pile of bones.
I died in late September.
Calcium that no one owns.
My name? I can't remember.
...

Been coming here
Since I was a child.
The Toy Department,
Which gave me such pleasure.
...

A good friend died
On a helicopter ride.
Flight testing his bird,
Or so I have heard.
...

A house
Is just a house
Unless you share it
With someone you love.
...

We all went down to Dominos.
Down by the middle school.
To get ourselves a pizza.
The thought just made me drool.
...

When you walk through the door
Every morning at eight
With a smile on your face,
You can make the day great.
...

...

Karma is a circle.
It goes round like a wheel.
A record of your actions;
What you give and what you steal.
...

Fleet Mercury, the messenger.
Traveling many times around the earth,
Giving notice that what was
Thought to be impossible
...

Why did the chicken cross the road?
She crossed because the traffic slowed.
But if she tries to cross again
She may be a very sorry hen.
...

'
'Twas pouring and the thoroughbreds
Did gallop and thunder in the rain.
All muddy were the jockeys' silks,
...

You show us scenes
From everywhere;
Lands North,
East, West, or South.
...

I ventured out of town today
Into a world of leafy green,
Walking in a woodland
So peaceful and serene.
...

Beginning
With the soft pitter pat
Of little cat feet.
Gentle.
...

How did this happen?
Only a year ago
Laughing, loving, living. Sudden
Occupation by men of evil intent.
