Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

Getting the Point

Getting the Point

A stitch 
a stitch
to silence the witch
A sharp sharp needle
to make her twitch

Two eyes of coal
with grey grey hair
Eyeballs gone
and still she stares

Earless rabbit 
She pulled them off
His mouth sewed shut
So he can’t cough

Riddle me 
riddle me
Why skin so pale
inside my brain
She pokes a nail

She’s as real
as real can be
a creature crawling
inside of me

Poke the poker
Jab me in the eye
Stitch my lips closed
so that I can’t cry.

October is around the corner. I thought I would create a Halloween state of mind.

Christina Bowring September 26, 2023 at 6:47 AM Gosh this is quite scary and if it was a horror movie I would be hiding behind a cushion Richard! I too, am thinking there’s more to this than meets the eye (although technically she’s got no eyeballs and that poor little rabbit!) ‘a creature crawling inside me’ Yuck! Great write.Keep them coming :) :) Richard Lamoureux September 26, 2023 at 11:57 AM Thanks Christina.
