Best Clammed Poems

PAS MUET

I am a puppy here
The smallest
The skinniest
The silentest (is that even a word)
Stotteraar
Bègue

I wheel my wheels among them

On my notepad
With my pencil
My words...

...inspiration from 'Preludes' by T.S. Eliot

the burnt-out end of smoky days.

No fancy gadgets,
just a jar of pencils newly cut.
The clatter

Three minutes was all I had to speak to you today
I wonder, were my words enough for you to think of me
As you stare at your fire alone tonight in the cool moonlit glare
Do my words mean anything to you
Even in those times when I...

Glory be to God for dappled things! 
Look, Mina, where the wanton wind 
is chasing the cloud shadows 
across the dale! They skip like hares! 
Throw open both doors, front and back - 
abandon care! 
Let that breeze, with scent of thyme 
on its breath,...

Last night’s slumber found me in an evening, cloud forest;
a plethora of mosses covered the ground and I found myself walking on a palette of green hues as night’s curtain fell.  Humidity clammed my skin with its touch; free body lotion.  It feels...

Well how does it feel?
I was wrong and you were right.
You looked at me with delight but that didn't last too long.

You made up all these excuses.
You said it was your sister who answered my texts.

He pushed her rapidly to the edge so many times
But she was a good girl, she told herself, shutting out her grandma’s voice
Poison him! Her grandmother urged. Showing her which herbs to gather.
His anger filled the room, wrote despair on the walls of her soul.
