Thirty Eight ( Corny Cancer Poem) For Sharon

Hallmark has a million cards in their catalog
And not one of them says,
Life Sucks
American greetings had nothing that says
Thirty-eight and  Never coming home
So I hope it’s not too late to write this poem


After your eighth round of...

          Garden flowers whisper
      Peeking through tree branches, heads nod
         Vines twine graceful arbor crown

It's happy anniversary again
thirty one years seems not long
but so thankful for all your love
every echo within makes a great song

Thirty one and going strong
looking forward to many more
together as one sweet union
We shall see what's on store

This past years been hard
but soon be on...

If all could be said
With one hundred thirty six words
Could my thoughts be coherent 
Would words travel in herds

Would they race across pages
receiving thunderous applause 
Would they cause one to ponder
or take a moment of pause

If  words could take flight 
Somehow written in the...

The last of my final hour I look around the room and spot my children  
He is arguing argumentatively with his sister and flailing his hands in the air 
Everyone is going on about my death as if it was something happening to them

IN THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES

The angels are rushing and running left to right,
they are careful as wounded-soldier eyes plead
as thirty-five minutes ago...

Thirty-five years in a fifty year old building where I repair all.
Having that many years of changes within, each one I have saw.
I answer calls each day to fix everything, either big or very small.
Reality is and this is not vainness, they expect me never...

Thirty thrifty thieves furtively foraged through their filthy things finding fifty thin forks
though the thieves find of fine thin frilly forks thriftily foraged failed to thrill








Thlipping Dithicult said the first
whos swolen tongue he nursed
The second thought it a trifle tricky
this can't be read as a...

from island corner, big Antrim lad
  to Belfast city, a tiny pad
  shattered windows, tilted clocks
  Goliath had lost his socks
  gargantuan giant going mad

  Armagh apple girl, any topic
  she star-gazed past the misanthropic
  vantage point, two...

1. Not thrown out of the show business
every year’s good and never less
my age placed in his mind’s steerage
I’m down to prove he won’t manage
it is no different loving him
I'm older but with the same vim.

Chorus
A freebooter visits his youth
but my hands put him under...

"Thirty Rhymes, Triple Time"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

I'm here for so much more than just lore
From the core, what we adore defines our chore
So I implore individuals to soar beyond open doors
Bypass the store, also the shore, even the gore
Pimps have whores, lions have roars,...

Dark -thirty

I don't know what time it is. 
I know work ended, 
at least the place I get paid, 
to do the things they need done. 
The rest I do on my time, 
unpaid, well, not in dollars
and cents. 

I stopped at the market,
