Today there are no rubber ducks, no flawless hues, 
To hide behind, as we once did.

This day is dark, and gray and dreary,
Air thick with the scent of decay and mold,
Dull light filters in through the window,
Casting a somber tone across everything.

Even the freesia suds...

across the endless
desert pavement
six feet dance a
rapid two step

keeping the mirage
alive in mind
that there is
another side

darting and dodging
clouds that darken
and fall to earth
while passing

cracks of quakes
made evading
rush hour
rushing

not mistaking making
a b-line for grassy
trees reaching
the edenic

opposite of the other
now to stop and
gasp grasping
knowing now

an ant

Rubber duckie you're the one

Rubber duckie
You're the one for me...

Saturday Morning’s routines

The odor of wood smoke
Came into my bedroom 
I saw the flambeau flickering lights
From my window

That when I knew it was time  
To get out of bed;
I heard old man Sealy voice
He said to his wing man
To put another log on the...

“Ode to Rubber Boots”
By Rachel Heffington

In rubber boots you’re free to wade 
Through puddle and through creek;
In rubbers you’re invincible! 
(Excepting when they leak!)...

They awoke to a classical radio station
that sounded so crisp,
its studio could have been in 
an apartment down the hall. 
They lied and listened
in the shadowy bed
while Beethoven and Brahms 
circled above them.
Her black umbrella 
and matching raincoat,
that were as dark as her hair and...

Sitting staring out the window for my sister to return
An overwhelming sadness, my stomach in a churn.
She a half day at school and I have not yet started
I thought the fates were cruel that we were even parted
The sun glinting off the puddles, maybe we'll...

Back seat of a '56 Chevy
White with baby blue trim
Cruising out of El Paso town 
Headed to the City of Angels
She’s fast asleep on my lap

Glorious western sunrise
Static, crackling AM station
Day Tripper on the radio...

Rubber ducky
~~~~~~~~~~
I've got a duck, a rubber duck
It lives on the tub, I like it
I had one when I was six
Once when I asked my stepmother where it was
Her reply was "I'll show you a rubber duck
you little freak!"
That day I learned and earned the...

I got told a joke this morning 
It really made me smile
So I thought I would share it on poetry soup
But in my own unique poetry style

A lady went to the dentist
She sat in the dentist’s chair
She was feeling really nervous
She wished she wasn’t there

The...

Tommy laid propped up and barely able to move, alone in his hospital bed;
"He will be lucky to ever walk again", is what he heard the doctor had said.
The truck driver never saw him due to the setting sun glare;
He doesn’t remember that motorcycle ride...

Doodle me your funny strokes of frog looking just like hidden Mickey
Or your princess that wears a tiara made of a plane triangle
Go ahead!
Indulge yourself! 
Fill my sheet with your vertical lines
Top them up with diagonals and curves
Sketch your favorite part of her body if...
