This poem was originally designed to challenge the client's existing concepts of death with a mildly humorous, new conceptualization in a non-threatening form. It was based on an idea that spontaneously developed in my head while I was giving a speech to a local church several years earlier.
This was written to interrupt the arguments that frequently exist when one of a couple snores, and keeps the other awake. Not designed to eliminate the problem but to re-adjust the view from one of victim and villain to something else. Humorous and non-threatening.
Originally written as a birthday card for my aging mother, this can be modified for anyone by changing the last line appropriately. Not particularly therapeutic like the others but what the heck..... I liked it and the effects it created in my mother.
Written to send to my mother in response to her fax requesting NO FLOWERS for Mother's Day, 1999.
A poem written to impact my lovely wife's self concept in the direction of feminine characteristics. This one is a tad sexy, but within socially appropriate parameters I believe. Still, it is intended for adult readers and especially husbands who would like to bring about a very nice "girlish" reaction in their wives.
