Best Ditch Poems

THE DITCH BECAME ABYSS: 
Collaboration with Tim Smith

When I was here
All the music sang lalala
I only saw your eyes

When you were here
All the words read you you you
and all made sense

When we were here
In a different life, the river flowed
rippling love around us

Now without a...

Phil’s caveman look is very weird
He really should shave off his beard
His mother is right
He looks a strange sight
The Neanderthal look’s to be feared!


Since December Phil’s been hirsute
He needs to give his beard a boot
He’ll cut it off in the sink
But his mum won’t cause...

Young Johnny Walford was a handsome man
He possessed a keen intelligent mind
Yet the life he desperately desired
In the end poor Johnny would never find

Lack of education, coal dusted hands
His heart was set on the Miller's daughter
Sadly one night he strayed with Jane Shorney
Made his life...

The chimes are ringing in the hall
I can't really make sense of it all

At the front door I roll to check
Nobody there, oh what the heck

Look under my pillow, sheets, and duvet
Arg...I don't have any time to play

Under the bed I'll take a peek
Crap, now...

Hey boy I’m your long time suffering dog
I need some of that love and tender care,
I’m no farm yard live in the mire hog
Here inside this thick fur lair
Home to them damn fleas I swear,
While you get it away when on the grog.
Glad you are...

another pheasant has mistaken
its frilly pattern with saturn
rings 
           and twitters 
           all its senselessness
silly on the asphalt spangled
foreheads

A child disliking middle aged woman
Managed to get a few weeks off
Then you came and brought happiness to the library
Just don't ditch us

You were nice to us
You let us play games
You reminded us you were only a sub
Just don't ditch us

Days counted down
But the number...

Ditch Mitch McConnell, I say,
Make room for new blood today!

He promotes a party schism,
Also, plain obstructionism.

A major fault, I can see,
Not a hoot for Kentucky.

We rank very low in stats,
Mitch tries to wear many hats.

What’s good for U.S. of A.,
Mitch quickly stands in the way.

The King’s headaches have grown
     since he's ascended the throne

   And wearing that Crown
     has turned his smile to a frown

   Marrying the Queen’s
     led to scenes unforeseen

Because of a tiny glitch
Inside a wet south side ditch
A minuscule germ, Mitch
Had an incredible itch

His voice had an uphill pitch
With a lilt that was rich
His oldest friend named Fritz
Told me that Mitch was a ditz

Mitch and Fritz fixed up the ditch
It attracted a whacky...

Sometimes it's as if I still 
don't know
That I have to let you go
As hard as parting the sea
So too shall this 
challenge me
Is it something I can do? 
Learn to just stop loving 
you? 
Learn to put myself first
In famine, flood and thirst
I've taken...

Apple of my eyes,
She entered my life.

Was a high school classroom,
Where our love would groom.

Turned stronger as time went on,
Where parents were called upon.

Galla time with meets in the cafe,
And outside in the shopping malls.

Ditched ourselves to lag behind,
From the levels we best deserved.

Then came...

I love you,
But I do not, 
Know how to say it,
You light up my day, 
By just talking to me.
You make me laugh,
Laugh so hard I cry.
You and I talk about,
About our kids,
And,
We have no limits.
You make me so happy,
Happy to be here,
And,
Happy to have...

I was oblivious to the fact
what is toxic,
When I stumbled upon toxic,
amazing voice, 
looks decent,
beautiful thoughts we shared.
then poison spread....
