Awkwardly Poems

Color In Your Fingers

...A sketchbook from back then
was stained with abstract colors
like our ten fingers
why didn't we arrange bright colors back then?
black, blue, and white
mixed together without a basis
I remember...

food court

...You think,
you see
me
in infinity
of gates
I was late,
so awkwardly
like every design
like since,
you think
vulnerability
has made me cry,
you can't understand
the useless frames
of win...

Me

...The most difficult version of me. 
Dances awkwardly. 
Like a lovely spiked fence. 
With feeling feet. 
The most difficult version of me. 
Likes to dive off a leaf. 
Lands nicely in the dirt.

lady bugs kissing on feathers

...lift me up, birds of praise,
I'm sinking in the spaces
of this unholy void.
She twirls with her lace,
and momentarily paces,
this cemetery is wired
hidden in darkest grit soils.

Sprained My Heart

...Sprained My Heart
I’ll kiss your image that sleeps in my memory
That’s what I’ll do and ponder a spell 
You left me with that wound inside that hasn’t been fixed in nary five years. And even than…...

Creative Communication

...We poets, writers, misfits of the world 
like artist or mystics or troubadours
use our gifts to give insight to others
we offer more pulling back the covers.

We did not fit in with most of our ...

Performing our Friendship

...What makes a person likeable?

How they look,
how they dress, 
or maybe who they’re friends with?
I think it’s about how kind they are,       
their willingness to be your friend.

“I guess w...

When the Birds Fall Silent

...Like a Disney movie, sparrows fly in my head.
An hour after coffee I grasp reality as if it were
survivable.

A deep snow drifts into camel humps
a few reckless birds have escaped my skull
to a...

ALPHABET OF AWKWARD AMOR

...Awkwardly he made a pass
Bumped his head against the glass
Cheesy lines flew far and wide
Didn’t notice spinach fried
Ego big, but brain quite small
Fumbled trying to make a call
Gave her flowe...

Go - Go, already

...
     Go. Go, already. The father told his son
         He bit his lip, clenched his fist
      The son did not see the father’s pain

      Go, Go, already. His heart, racing madly 
         T...

a cow at the table

...“There’s a cow at the table,” I whispered, not wanting to be rude.
It’s horns curled like question marks, which seemed quite Apropos
Now that I’ve been to college, I can tell you, there’s a lot tha...

How We Met

...How We Met
by Edmund Siejka

Jesse

...dear tall child,

your bones probably don't fit your frame yet;
   they shift awkwardly,
and your spine hunches and slopes.

your hands are likely to be dry and grimy,
   legs speckled with an...

Of Teen-age Years

...
    awkwardly waiting, ‘in-between’
      not yet adults, no longer tweens

    larvae-like lurking, behind-the-scenes
      ‘fore bursting their shells, onto life’s screen

Life Changing

Life Changing 

In these quiet woods, as shadows spread,  
Timorous leaves whisper my secrets to the breeze.  
A sentinel of time I am among the malus tr...
