Best Follow Up Poems

Dear Soupers, some of you have read my piece on FGM….Female Genital Mutilation for Richard Lamoureux’s Contest: Girl Rising. One of you has suggested signing a petition so that this grievous practice will be stopped. I’m happy to inform you that something IS being done by my church organization in the enditnow campaign. The Women’s...

I know a family that doesn't have much
  But their small abode is spotless
    You can eat off their floors

  'Course that makes them 'classist and racist'
  The home in which they take such pride 
    ~ a veritable eyesore...

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT 
AENGUS COMES HOME
TAKES A COLD SHOWER
BRUSHES HIS TEETH
AND GOES TO BED 
ALONE
TO DREAM OF HIS WANT 
OF THE FAIRY GIRL
AND HER SILVER AND GOLD 
APPLES....

Nancy’s a nymphomaniac
Who networks when flat on her back
Her motives are shady
And Nan ain’t no lady
She always gets blokes in the sack

Yes, Nancy’s a bit of a lass
Three stock cupboard guys get her ‘pass’
She has hanky-panky
With Tom Dick and Frankie
Guess Nancy is just pure badass

NB Terry suggested in his comment that I wrote about Networking...

The lady lived contentedly
within a castle by the sea
for time unending.
As daily she watched o'er the water,
she and her devoted daughter
household mending.

Her husband yet was lion hearted,
but from her side had not departed,
come what may.
Though others went to war for glory,
he knew too well the age old story;
how women pray.

Soon enough would come in sight

Memorial Day Follow Up

Then there are those who never came back, 
As much time flies by and we will loose track; 
My age has lengthened and up I have grown, 
Still see tomb of soldiers who are unknown. 

By other veterans, they loyally would bequeath, 
With honor, in front of their tomb place a wreath,
And...

Today I shined very bright.
I added the fuel to ignite.
I gave it my all and hoped for the best.
I went in and faced the test.

Sitting there waiting, my pits sweating.
The quiet, lifeless room was offsetting.
Time taking so long I might grow thin.
Just waiting for the teacher to say begin.
 
She speaks and I dig in...

The weather is brutal today, like a roll in the hay
Like rambunctious like, you know, when your mind goes astray
You leave mother earth
Seems like a rebirth
When you recover, as a follow-up we'll see you again!

(maybe 10 minutes)...

Cast your net upon the waters
 let your words and Visions flow 
from breast to breast 
Let The Healing Waters begin the flow 
you are cured
 like in a bird and the blue skies let it soar
 let your words comfort me 
that your Deeds 
be from your needs 
I fell down on my knees...

*Photo I took of the Snow Moon, Super moon.  When I upload photos here, and copy them to my page, they end up blurry, but it was beautiful.

Tonight, I won’t write anything at all…
I’m throwing in my quill,—who am I fooling?—
I’m throwing in my keyboard, overruling
my instinct for seriousness,—o how small

and earnestly banal…/I mean!, the gall
of an Artiste not sat at home drooling
on their craft and crafting another grueling
chef-d’œuvre,—Bah!—leave that to the alcohol!—

—@-tack your ’s-periment__’n’|defend|
mine own: for the[object]of this{subject}
is Anihilating your nothingness....
