Best Iron Out Poems

Meeting my homegirls Wilma Neels
and Kim Van Breda with shrieks and squeals
hasty introductions and we're on our way
for a night of reading at Poetry Café

We've Yasmin to thank for arranging the meet
with fellow Soupers, a veritable treat
Yasmin the sneak had their names withheld
we're apprehensive yet...

Your strongest day is standing
just outside your door. Let it in.

Each day the sun comes home to you 
it whispers with the wind
calling out your name.

This is no video game.

Life’s a bouquet banquet 
made from your reflections.

You do not need directions.

Pick your moments carefully.
Stop and...

When this troubled world 
Gets you down so much
And you feel you need 
Someone to listen 
Loving arms for sanctuary
And a loving touch

It's hard to keep your balance
In such an unbalanced place
How can people not go crazy
In a world that's insane

You go around in circles
Tied...

A spanking good tale

I read a blog -was it only yesterday
I haven’t laughed so much, I can truly say
About large women and I will not make fun
That’s because I am turning into one
But the blog that I read proved there is hope for all

“Teachers found without Lesson Plan.” “Noise level unbearable.”
Unfortunately, these would only be a few of the sordid headlines;

Each day I cry, you may not know,
One day I'm high, the other I'm low,
But willing to become a star,
The walk of hurt wins; leaving a scar.

As the body falls apart,
I stay alive with the pump of my heart,
Voices speak but I cannot see,
Reality sinking...

The dress that you gave me
My favourite one, hangs in my closet
Next to none, I have outgrown the colours
Hanging on to the memories hidden in its folds.

The smell of you and me
Washing out the blotches of the past
Trying to Iron out the creases 
From each...

I used to watch my mother sew
she would sit at her machine
and run the fabric through its course
making perfect seams.
She would make me suit,
fit me with lots of little tugs,
call me a handsome little man
and give me loving hugs.
She’d button up my self esteem
me, dressed...

I made the bed this rainy and  bleak Sunday,
                   Struggling to iron out the creases on the duvet,

Listen the drums are rumbling and the pots are bubbling
Listen, the drums are rolling and pretty girls are dancing
Listen the drums are speaking and my heart is singing
Listen the drums are beating and I am coming
Let the drums speak and lead me down the main...

Surprises don’t respect the season
The wind blows laughter off the face of her cheeks
The flavor of her deeds take a U-turn 
Wholes of regrets crowd the surface of her smiles
Children demand time
 With real parentage for continuation in unkind ways
The house falls apart and lives...
