Joseph Matose Poet Rhyme

Golden Conversation

Golden Conversation


Jack:

Let this kidney stone
Be instantly gone
Pain from the back
You can’t well track.


Joseph:

Yeah. I feel two addled ostrich eggs
Lumped on both sides of my back
Slowly I bend, slowly drag my legs
Not to pollute other organs if they crack!


Jack:

Rising from this seat
Is quite a feat
When from here I stand
I need runway to land
For, like a plane
That toes the lane
Slowly I rise and move 
Before I finally take off! 


Joseph:

I rise and quickly land,
If none takes my hand
I hardly walk or stand
I simply crash land!


***As two old lovely gents conversed at an Old People’s Home.
***Fictitious scenario. Don’t try it at home!

Karen Anglesey November 20, 2013 at 12:13 PM Joseph, this is simply wonderful. Superb creativity and I feel some of those cracks and near crash-landings :) Joseph Matose November 20, 2013 at 12:21 PM I missed you a bit. I'm glad we connected. Thanks Karen. I do enjoy your work. Consider me your fan or better still your Friend and Follower. Thanks for reading the poem. Friend, JM

Mark Peterson November 20, 2013 at 11:10 AM Joseph, this is a conversation with which I am growing increasingly familiar. Loved "Slowly I rise and move before I finally take off." Each time I do that, it sounds like someone opening a box of Rice Crispies: snap, crackle, pop. Joseph Matose November 20, 2013 at 12:19 PM Mark! You'll be fine as long as you don't crash land! Friend, JM

Nette Onclaud November 20, 2013 at 10:47 AM joe, this reeks of the movie, " the odd couple"... fascinating dialogie between two heartthrobs of soup... all siggle shere!..:) huggs Joseph Matose November 20, 2013 at 12:15 PM Thanks Nette. I appreciate your insight into the poem. Friend, JM

Just That Archaic Poet November 20, 2013 at 10:11 AM JM, you also never fail to amuse me with your clever wit. I love your "out of the box" execution and style, but you already know that lol ;) Joseph Matose November 20, 2013 at 12:18 PM Friend; the ostrich egg feeling and fear to break them when bending forward was inspired by the Kidney stones that bedevil me as earlier said. You can see my name in the Conversation...I only wanted to express it in a way not prosaic or boring or repetitive!...Friend, JM Joseph Matose November 20, 2013 at 12:13 PM Thanks for the great comment. I appreciate your "generosity!" Friend, JM

Demetrios Trifiatis November 20, 2013 at 8:44 AM Hilarious as long as young one is. Hell when one old gets! Exceptional dialogue that hits both targets at once! Joseph Matose November 20, 2013 at 12:14 PM Thanks for the amusing comment. Friend, JM

Ken Carroll November 20, 2013 at 7:11 AM Hi Joseph, Intriguing dialogue within a well crafted write. Ken Joseph Matose November 20, 2013 at 12:12 PM Thanks Ken. I appreciate. Friend, JM
