The Stoner Poetry Contest - Collaboration
Sponsored by: Charles Messina
I was sitting on the corner, stoned When out of the blue, my dead aunt phoned How could this be, she rests in peace Right beside my loving niece I answered the phone, and my auntie said "I know you think that I am dead" "I'm alive"- my auntie moaned Or- could it be that you're just- “Stoned" I sat there thinking was it true Aunt was still on the planet too Had I dreamed that she’d passed away Whilst she’s still here in light of day. As I stood up to stagger home There was a ring come on my phone It was my aunt in floods of tears “You’re right my boy, been gone for years”.
