Best Sticky Poems

Driving along, I’m hearing a song
as my radio I like to play.
I get to my job and hear all day long
that tune that just won’t go away.

The lyrics keep playing -staying and staying -
lines of lyrics I cannot expel!
Like a carnival horse on a pole,...

I meet you in Laos
as a seed
just a simple
existence of hard rice
seeded inside Huay Xai’s dirt
until water plains
cradle and nourish your infant body
'till you sprout above water banks
where you tickle yourself
with sunshine
like a child who spends all
day with the wind
when you mature
people pull your roots
carry...

Cecilia has set me a challenge – to order my favourite pud
If I can say sticky toffee pudding it would be oh so good

But I may make another error and it could come out so bad
If I said stiffy cockie pudding again it would make...

I can only write on the computer.
And I suppose that that’s not really the right thing to say, because people are going to say that I really am part of the next generation who survives solely by technology.

	I really do try to write on paper,...

My neighbor, who has sticky fingers,
lifts merchandise fast, never lingers.
Inside her big jacket
each item, she'll pack it--
fine necklaces, rings, even Zingers!

Her P O saw her steal his money.
He said to her, “Girl, this ain’t funny.”
There ensued a clamor.
She’s back in the slammer.
Her Mom said, “I’ll...

For most of her life she wanted a tattoo 
But was leery her mother might yell, gnaw and chew
The unicorn landed!
Mom won’t understand it
And Mo doesn’t know what to do!

Dear Mo,

Double Bubble
Blowing bubbles, fun on the cheap
Double Bubble
That was what got me in trouble
Gum in mouth, when I went to sleep
In my hair, so cut off a heap

"The Unicorn and The Sticky Asphalt Jungle"



Bedtime stories
now walk through fog
The Unicorn skips 
on lines of sticky Asphalt

The father writes his play
The mother seen as absent
becomes deus ex machina
she will be the only one 

to save the day

Along The Road
Bushfires burn the Heart
A Child like...

I fled the kiln
of the house
where ceramic floors
bake like focaccia bread.
My haven is a bench
in the shade of an oak,
praying for a breeze.
A bevy of bees hover
over blushing jasmine 
and scarlet lilies,
dousing me with honey
in July's sticky air
as my finger
culls a drowned earwig
from my glass...

Picky, Tricky and Sticky

You were so picky
Wrapping up gifts was tricky
Use nothing sticky.

The belle of the ball and most frightening of all is Sticky Fingers McRaccoon.
He knows how to win, and how to get in, with his gang, of crazy ragamuffins.
He’s never invited, but won’t ever be slighted, as he comes along, for a crime.
And the birthday...

I’m lost in a sea of anxiety, worried thoughts tumbling through my mind like turbulent waves. There is so much about this world that stirs fear in my belly. Illness, hatred, violence, war.

“Hand! Hand!” Your tiny voice breaks through my thoughts, pulling me to calmer...

Snap and squirt the sweetest juice
Through caramel cream
Tart Winesap candied 
Are a tasty dream.
Come to Halloween
Stick with me
