Best Half Sister Poems

~

A broken torpedo got wedged in my eye,
making me squint out some tea
Laughed at a submarine sauntering by,
hoagies afloat on the sea

Gathering minnows from dams ‘bout to break,
opening flood gates again
Stood midst a puddle dressed up like a lake,
watching a red herring trend

Drove to the...

I'm not wearing underwear
I can’t afford to clean my clothes
I shower every day
and sensitive skin from soap and psoriasis makes me itch
But I have bills to pay
I know you understand
Raising my little half brother and half sister
I've only met once
who are an ocean away
But this...

Eavesdropping

A good man is hard to find
Said my Nana,
That was the day I saw tears in her eyes
As she nervously stuff the monthly tithe in the envelope
And headed to church that Sunday morning
Before, screaming at my granddad for hours
I guess she was mad as hell...

She says it’s warm in Albuquerque.  She tells you hello

a happy Mother’s Day on her behalf.

I said...

The Tortured Cuckoo

Delivered-bewildered and confused, onto a foliage. No direction from those empowered to parent so  weak a fledgling.   Clawed and pecked for being, an easy release of pent-up frustration upon defenceless creature.

Eat, and be reminded that you never contributed food to...

kickball and biking
swinging on swings at the park . . .
youth’s sweet vibrant spark

Memories of my childhood and teenage years are probably the strongest of all my memories. I don’t quite know why that is. They simply seem even dearer than memories of my wedded...

So it's January the 10th and I just ended my never happy after modern fairytale with the umpteenth guy who has gained  access to the fragile shallow chambers of what they normally call a 'heart'...(for me it's just some very stupid love-thirsty mind rather)....

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : IX

IF you pull a long face
Being born with a long face bytheway
Then you have at worst a problem face
None will know if you're sad or gay

Now if you keep pulling this long face
Mostly at the dinner table, say

Keep your opinion to yourself & let people live
Just because you think your perfect doesn't mean you are.
Tell me to grow up?
You grow up.

Honestly the mistakes you preach about 
Are in fact the mistakes you made at one point...
Live and learn?
More like live, screw up...

I
She's now almost four months old
He is at least four months older
She is half-sister, sharing a mother
So far, she, Kaalnek, somewhat bolder
Than her half-brother, somewhat Christian
Remains pure, virgin, or I'm no "farmer-observer" 

II
Kaalnek is the bare-necked pet, my Chicken
She refuses the advances of Mr. Five
He...

Fall from Heaven's arms,
land on her "half-sister".
Look through the garden's eyes.
Still, I miss her.

Let me crawl with nature
or fly with the stars.
Landing on the "half-sister"
won't take me very far.

Treat me not with shame,
cuddle with me, my pride,
because dignity will take you far,
but wrong can't easily...

Scone’s lament

Bronco Don rode into the Dirran… café,
It was owned by the Spiro the Greek,
The patrons went into a Magpie smother flap hey,
Big brown horse and a whip cracking, geek,

Ole Brownie the horse would go any where,
So up the front steps he did canter,
Curses flew...
