Best Mother Superior Poems
ResolutionsI've made a decision, a drastic solution
So I don’t have to make a New Year’s resolution
This year I’ve decided to become a nun…
My ‘habit’ will shield my head from the sun
I will resolve to join a silent order
Mother Superior will act as my warder
I’ll give...

Protection of Their OwnAlma Mater in denial
Beckons proof of terrible sin
Congregation gather to witness
Defrocked disciple
Endeavours to catch her and hear
Flagellate in fear of the hounding.
Girl on a high, this nun in retreat
Hypocrite trying to steal an identity
Image of optical semblance
Juridical Janeass vindicated
Karma until now was next of...

Sister, SisterMother Superior faced a daunting task,
Like no other in her forty years.
She had prayed it simply wasn’t so,
That Holy intervention might belie her fears.
But sadly, there was no such intervention,
No relief from the duty she did rue.
Despite her hopes and all her prayers,
It had been...

Wham Bam Slam I Am Not WorthyIf I suffer from an affliction
If I stutter
If my grammar is gutteral
If the words I utter
Failed English at School
Sorry I am not cool
Pity me or the fool
Who uses education as tool
To dismiss what I write
Because it is not spelt or gramatically correct...

The Peanut Butter StrikeTHE PEANUT BUTTER STRIKE
In my last year at school I was made a prefect,
Why I don’t know for I was no model scholar
But thinking back and taking the time to reflect,
I’m happy to have fond memories, how happy
Was the headmistress i’d hate to bet my...

Fleeting MomentA fleeting moment I possess
I tend to obsess
condense my sight to the obvious sightings
I'm beyond inferior to proposals and promise of wedding bells
unable to compete with the reigning smiles
and the incoming wave of tiny giants
opening their wide eyes in surprise to this big world
Here I...

Strange Ways, Here We Come
“Strange Ways, Here We Come”
the devil’s advocate
came waltzing
through my doors
“I had no choice”
the supercilious harbinger said,
“to intervene, to parlay away
something
not
mine
now
you're
doing time
not the criminal recidivist
nor usurping interloper
and their profound lies
every damned day,
what can I say?
it was staring us full in...

Before the Firing Squad
“Before The Firing Squad”
the firing squad
came dressed
in faux smiles
the intervention cake
was spoon fed, like honey,
by mother superior
to the lesser bee,
with self-righteous
magnanimity
she wore the badge
Devil’s Advocate, proudly,
without any clear authority
casting bloodied
nasturtiums around the
sacred cow’s neck
then the F-cluster gaggle
tossed the child
without clear...

What can I say the pot plants in the yard are fed tiny rain drops
saintly tears of a girl rejected by the abbess to join the order
because she detect a wild sensual abandonment behind eyes that,
at first glance, are mirrors of chastity.

A Letter To My MotherFrom dusk to dawn
Sunrise to sundown
This I will never forget
Your kisses that always left me in a comfort
And a bliss that no grief could ever secrete
A mile-wide-smile and sweet
That never deserted your cheeks
Your submissiveness
When my stomach would rumble
How you would enable...

A Convent GirlA CONVENT GIRL
This is the girl,
Who’s in a whirl,
Who came to the, Convent,
Looking despondent.
This is the nun,
Who’s highly strung,
Who started to lecture,
In spite, of her denture.
This is the Principal,
Who’s very strategical,
Who can dismiss,
If something’s amiss.
Then Mother Superior,
To whom we’re inferior,
Performs her role,
To reach...

To Be What My Lord Would Have Me BeI don’t want to be a king
I don’t want to be a knight
I don’t want to be an emperor
I don’t want to be a prime minister
I don’t want to be a Supreme Court judge
I don’t want to be anything
I...

My great, great Aunt was a lot of fun.
