Best First Cousin Poems

Roberta lived on this earth for so many years!
Was a great mother, wife, and grandmother, too.
A long and fulfilling life with joy, completion and no fears.


I was a bridesmaid, when she married my first cousin.
A match truly designed in heaven!
Their life filled with fun,music boating...

"The White Lady of Skipsea"


Last night I dreamt 
I dreamed of you
a kind of dream 
within a dream

Diaphanous, 
my soul escaped, 
this firmament,
my immaculate heart
held hands, my fingers 
did entwine with 
handsome Morpheus

Crystal radiate
twin gossamer 
light beams
dissolved through 
window pane, then
out beyond the gate

And on...

Failure is with us every day
			telling us to go for it on fourth and one;			
			more and more that’s done;
			we listen to failure smiling cynically
			as he whispers temptations in our ears.
			You’d recognize the guy,
			You’ve seen him lingering near,
			first cousin to Mayhem on TV,
			there’s a strong family...

Today a dearest of all princess of summer was taken up to heaven.
In a same manner as though of a bummer shaken up till no longer even.
Sadly saddest of all reasons it was because she simply gave in.
Soon enough she was found in a state...

The story of Hezekiah Munny
Is one that’s really kind of funny

He married Olive Eo
First cousin to McMar
She didn’t have much money 
And she didn’t have a car

She loved dear Hezekiah
She would gladly have his name
But also quite attached, she was
To her given maiden name

Tell me...

Of lineage most noble
A man of grave esteem
He could pull a mean cork
The best you ever seen

One third Apache, he was
His father never knew
Hesekiah Munny was 
As proud as me and you

Not to be confused with 
The man known as McMar 
DeMar was his first...

He looks
At the collage
With glassy eyes
The pieces of the puzzle of him
The memories that have been stolen
Swept away 
Vanquished

An occasional glimmer
A spark of recognition
His dear mother
She had taught him three languages
Now he barely remembers one
The contours of her face make him smile
She had formed the...

-
Sitting on this gray wooden bench beside my late mother
Her light yellow blouse shiffling in the Atlantic air
She is exicited, anxious, happy and swells with a sense of achievement
For she had done it. She had found her relatives found her long lost Duke and hope.

We...

Tough position to be in
Wanting to claim European
Knowing something
 darker lies within
Something more natural
Light refraction
Melanin, Godly action
Borderline casual
foot stomping, dust rising
Serengeti surprising
ancestral awakening
First man's first cousin
splitting the world
over black and white
when did we become
so distant?
Once removed, disavowing
we were once one
You for I, and I am...

Blunderful
The man was addicted to sex
Lust drove him to do his actions
Each one more intense than the last
Like water incessantly flowing
Washing against the dam wall
Till a hairline crack appeared
This rapidly became a valley
And the dam was breached
Forever broken and ruined
A dam of granite now
Turned into...
