Best Directions Poems

When I’m sinful, as I am by nature…
   Forget my wisdom and gossip or darken
       My heart with hues of dread or desperation
   Feelings felt by a heart who is disrespectful
One who knows they’re not...

conclusions drawn in crimson 
they're the hardest to erase
as is seeps from every pore
pooling on the tile like waste
I guess some would call it
a bitter aftertaste

it shrouds like a hooded cape
never quite fading away
it's there in all of my dreams
remaining here when I wake
gnawing like...

Enter beside the hollow log mailbox.
Here the road leads through a profusion of leafy damp shadows.
Wild ferns are the underbrush
where Fairy Wrens flit from the slightest presence.
This driveway winds by towering bush gums flanked
on the other side by a paddock
thick with Kikuyu and other mixed...

A weird sight one day I did see.
A lady played organ for me.
   She had placed in a cup.
   While it was still wrapped up.
A condom as neat as could be.

I ask her to please please explain,
She said,"Please don't think I'm...

I was driving on Confused Avenue, only to find a T section at the end of the Avenue, I had to turn left, turn right, or simply just turn around.
	I sat in my car, to read the street signs.  The street sign to the...

Shall I burden you with another tale? 
The answer you give, I do not care. 
I do not give a mind to such foolery and trickery like that, that comes from you, 
so therefore I do not care for your opinion and will cast aside...

Directions.......

You shut the door and trace the steps
that lead you round the corner and
directly to the door of your destination..

You enter the library to plot the papers
that navigate and lead you to your finals
predicting the course of the nearby future..

You find direction and take the...

“DIRECTIONS”




MAPS.


Folded tight
sharp corners,
 
unwrapped. 




“I read maps” the traveller said

She wasn’t convinced, it was obvious
he’d been hauled up for years in his
“Man Shed”

“Yeah, I do, I read maps”, he said

“hmmm, you’re not a risk taker”, she said

“What?”, he said

“like, man,  you’re a mouse on...

Change Directions
By Curtis Johnson

We think that it’s a weeping pity and a crying shame for things to be this or that way.
We blame teachers, parents, preachers, politicians, and presidents for things going astray.

We claim we knew it could happen, but not in our neighborhood; not...

Look left to my sorrow
Full of blood and tears
Full of sweat and pain
Nothing is ever clear
 
Look right and see my fury
My hatred towards my opponents
Look behind and see my apathy

say Hi to misery on your way from love
as you bump on to old sobs,
but be sure not to stop for a chatt 
lest you miss the next bus to pining.

While there please stop by loneliness
it's the only place you can catch self pity
doing a...

two otherwise rational people
appear as if conflict had never 
got into the car with the both of em’
when they commenced this
journey---
but that was when they both had it in the

*** Directions to Our House ***


To find our house, you first go
Carefully down the towering show
Of those puffed cloud stairs
Touched by golden sun-glows.
Proceed to pass the nearby hilltop’s forested grove,
Where you might glimpse the hidden homes
Of some remaining urban fox and deer.
Then, turn left and...

A serpent saved Eve from a drouth
Medusa just opened her mouth
But snakes in her hair
How did they get their?
The Devil don't know North from South?...

Do you remember Boris; back in 2020 
A virus was about to break, yet people
None the wiser ' at first he said no real
Big stuff, along with Holland we should face it tough.'
he'd been briefed then by whitty..Dear oh
Dear, three weeks on the tone was...
