Best Oddly Poems

Multiple fractures of my skull
Makes my thoughts void and null
Motor neurons now shut down
Synapse connections now unwound
Muscles jerk
All thought burned away
But oddly enough
This was my finest day....

When the moonlight's right, 
and the earthy smell of lavender 
lifts to meet a deep, evening breeze, 
and memories under long ago leaves, 
begin to fill the empty present 
with sensations of our first kiss, 
I have trouble moving an inch 
into my future. I...

Breakfast at the Deer Lodge,
Moose Tick,
Salmon Harbour,
Beaver Bay by the evergreen,
left reminded of
B.C Bud at 17,
time is 
water under the bridge.

I live in Toronto,
and drown in Maple syrup;
Canadian Bacon.
A joke....

I told my hubby I would never get a puppy ever again, 
but hey, aren’t they supposed to be a woman’s best friend?
So I scooped up Brady in my arms one warm June day,
brought him home with my daughter Ella to laugh and play. 

He...

Deja vu   

Always without expectation,  some instinct prevails,
opening with uncanny coincidence.... 
Ambiguous recollections... earmarking telltale, immediate recognition

Overshadowing reality, ... unleashing mysterious awareness
What explains the intriguing familiarity, obscuring conventional understanding?
With a tangible energy pulsing into places of the unconscious present,
a look, emotion, memory,...

Day-glo dewy
chuck berry faded daffodils

woodlark fluid warble
emerald chorus

& abash earth
drowsy petrichor 
on 
parched earth

fall mist lyrics 
of 
glyphs thrum 

in sepia tones 
of 
whimpers
& heart hums 
of 
lengthy 
boyhood 
&
haunting echoes
shattered bell's 
agonizing chimes

In shadowy 
kaleidoscope

dystopian swoon
climax is symphonic
&
thunderous melancholy
of 
tearful farewell

remove dust mote
of
gramophone groove

“Abe, easy Dee, effigy, eight chives, Jake, ale, Em, 
any hope, peak you, arrest a ewe, feed other ewe”

Romance and the richness of pain pose on the horizon before myself as a young 
girl
Become embedded in my own discourse;  I seek them and reject them, I cannot 
Know them.  
They are intangible
Rarely felt in the everyday

Inevitable aching and fear occupy my...

Hope and a prayer, a dollar to spare.
A dream to one day breath in millionaire.
By my calculations, it's always the same.
You just cannot win if your not in the game.

A new house, a car, perhaps travel far.
Try not to spend all my time at the...

the constant
music in my mind
melodic loops
and melodies

transposed lines
juxtapose the left
brain video that
could be a photo

of you
for you
to me

your face filling
the screen but only
your eyes blink
as your silver smile

stays the same
all the while
my soundtrack
plays back around

again and again
the electric guitar
synapse riff of
Crazy Train...

I miss you in ways 
      I often can’t say
Because I don’t have the right
      To miss you that way
I have to be happy 
     With time that I get
It’s a...

UNIQUE

Why I

Well technically I am and always have
and will be considered

Odd

So I suppose in essence

Maybe in reality in fact I actually am

As Odd is Unique

Isn't it 

So Yes

Thanking you Sincerely

Kind Regards

Maybe now it's time for me

To own my own individual

Oddly Uniqueness...

Time oozes
Depletes fast
Odd snoozes
Fade at last


Oddly enough
Age soon churns
Loss frames stuff
To ash turns


Is it strange?
Loss keeps score
Ooze meets change
At the door


Time and space
Fade each day
Age frames face
In end play


Start with cheer
To live spell
Age my dear
Must soon tell

Twenty twenty one was odd from beginning to end
December was oddly warm with hardly a chilly wind
The rose bushes kept a blooming and folks still mowed
We did need rain but hardly a drop ever showed
January roar like a winter beast with icy winds a blast
New...
