Best Karen Poems

Nonchalant, the leaf whirls without care
On the wind it rides to somewhere
Tree-free, it flies with bird-flare
A swinging light feather
Kite without its string
Airy last fling
Roaming to
end in
new…
…new
trip where?
Heaven knows
Eagle eyes watch
wandering winds blow
on leaf’s air-current show
Released, rides to an unknown
Leaving its toils, freed at long last
Departs,...

She should have been Hera, goddess queen of heaven, the sister-wife of 
Zeus, king of the gods; she would have caught him one Friday night tipping 
Out while she sleeps to visit one of his plumy wives and over 100 relations. 
She would have said,...

Kaleidoscopic colours of your affectionate heart paint the
Awe-inspiring rainbows across my world
Raising my broken spirits, instilling hope in my damaged heart,
Enveloping my fragile form with pure love and
Nourishing my soul with such passion and care-reforming the withered corpse within me, into a beautiful new life

Birthday parties are fun for young teens,
long they've waited: it's time for cheers!
Balloons are dangling from the ceiling,
slow music plays throughout the Hall,
chatting girls woo boys...something
of romantic nature is rapidly brewing;
watchful mothers stand against the wall. 
Where's Karen? Everybody starts worrying; 
somebody runs outside, "...

“Our own Festival of Youth Sport reminds
us that the potential to achieving the highest
starts with home grown talent.” It's no jest. 
Karen works for the Girl Guides, the finest. 

She has spina bifida causing weak legs, 
And started shooting in the year of 1984,
With the...

A Netflix and chill night with Karen Speld my sister,
then a ridiculous game of that ludicrous Twister-
Hands awry and bent, Sam's manhood she did touch,
she did hit her head, but died from laughing too much!

It’s only just begun
Desperate family
The Carpenters were fun
Closer to perfection
Like honey on your sleeve
They stuck together well
So happy we believed
Until it crumbled down
Her heart gave in so young...

I took my dog for a walk on the beach.
Ran into Karen and she started to preach.
Plastic bags times three; filled with doggie debris.
People polluting the beach she decreed.
I smiled politely turning to continue on my way.
Apparently, she had a whole lot more to say.
I...

Mother of four
Grandmother to five
Married to Alan
To heaven she'll arrive

With the Philadelphia's Eagles
They will fly her so high
To heavens door
But there will be no goodbye

For with the Angels she'll write
As they read her poems
Inspiration she leaves
In her Poetry Soup home

I never knew you Karen
But in...

Calling on Karen:
Come to the water
In majesty after the fire;
Fourth degree flare refreshed a memory.
Undaunted hero of my heart inspired dreams of liberation.

Calling on Karen:
To console shattered lives at the edge of apathy.
Colored chalk of my soul crushed and crinkled,
Celebrating destiny drawn in Pentecostal praise,...

While I lie on this stone wall
hand almost too weary to write
I can see tiny ants scurrying about on the pavement
curious mobile sesame seeds exploring an empty bottle
and the last few of the lonely afterschool crowd
shuffle into cars and drive away
here I sit, alone in...

(this poem was inspired by the three word title, which was stamped upon a vintage typewriter platen that I recently purchased.)

Karen Anderson is…

stamped upon my platen, forever to be seen.
I wonder what she thought, and where she's been?

Perhaps she typed her own name,
thinking only later...

This was for keeps for all we knew
so far away so long ago
I really fell in love with you
before you played the second show

White lace and grace and promises
Beguile?  Belong?  Betroth?  Beseech?
it's best to do what momma says
so very close so out...
