Best Try It On Poems

Old Death is a scar,
an empty eye socket, a lost limb.  
It has been grieved and we leave it alone
most of the time except on long drives
or sleepless nights.

New Death is a police siren behind you,
a baby crying for you in the night
in a...

Memo.. As I and my daughter shopping

Passed by dresses..

Dream of many dreams
Yet.. tis seems so real...

The Way You Sing My Song
David J Walker

I remember falling in love with a song
And then searched for someone to
Try it on

While you were singing the words
Of your hearts desire 

The fire
		The fire 

The words of arrant desire

If I write another love poem 
It will...

ELLY MAY


poem by: Maria Williams

T'was the night before her birthday and Elly May
Still in the office putting stuff away
In her horn rimmed glasses and grey flannel suit
She was the epitome of perfection, the essence of truth

She was the best secretary that they'd ever had
 They...

Second Hand Leather
Cocooned in love
The day was frightfully cold with snow softly falling. I was not prepared for this but 
only for the warmth of sunshine. I stepped off the plane covered only in a sundress 
and sandals.  I began to shiver as I...

Galloping hooves broke morn's peace in Soup Creek's Main Street
When Jimmy Smith rode in from Bar 20 his face white as a sheet
He stopped at Sheriff Koplins office and banged heavily on the door 
"What's the hells going on" shouted the Sheriff " it's quarter...

Ol' Nellie Bramble; she loved to drink
She never washed and boy she did stink
In every bar in town, she'd cause a scene
And her rich language was quite obscene.

She spent many a night in a police cell
And all night long she'd scream and yell
She'd cuss and...

It was hard before but now am used
I remember when i first came here
Dad had slept forever 
Mum was hidden in the grave
Enjoying sleep as uncle chose
To rape me daily
Aunt would force me to feed on the same plate with Sizza
The big ugly dog that...

I spied it in the window, wasn’t very plain to see
Cos the glass was very mucky, the price I cannot read

Tentatively went into the shop, was dark couldn’t see the way
The man was old and bent, I hesitantly asked to see the tray

It was a...

The Green Silk Dress
Eons back in time, was a tall maiden fair
A long pair of legs and equally long blond hair.
A green silk dress, she once did espy
The colour would pick the green out in her eyes.

Daily she traveled to the emporium so grand,
She gazed...

The worst kind of loyalty, is often 
meted out blindly 
It’s an entrapment, and it always
ends badly 
I once thought to try it on for size
But I couldn’t afford its high price 
I found it made a rather merciless 
and relentlessly evil master
Pushes its ardent...

If I win, I will put my bikini in my bin, I will go for to romp promptly.
If I fly to my gritty city, I will fry, but I will not cry.
If I win, I will cling to my kitty
I will bring my roll on,...

The eyeglass store’s brand new; it moved
From just across the street.
The stock is current, fresh and cool;
Displays are nice and neat.

But unlike some establishments, 
Its style is from the past.
The frames are under lock and key,
Although the choice is vast.

So every time I saw one
I’d...

One of life's true pleasures
Is cream corn from a can
Hot or cold it matters not
I'm just a great big fan

I have it with potatoes
Or I spread it on my toast
As topping for my sundae
I love this way the most

People stare and say aloud
“That seems a...
