Brown Poems

More Than A Soft Toy

As she lays tucked in her white crib,
she hugs her brown monkey.
Other animals fill her crib,
but she chooses the brown monkey.
Why one may ask?
even as a baby she has a choice to make.
As the years go by she wants her brown monkey,
for love and peace no other animal will do.
The years pass by as she

El Nino Brown

He was Bad, Bad, El Nino Brown,
Baddest cat in the whole damn town.
Badder than Super Fly,
Women with the wink of an eye.

Well Nino, he was fightin',
Some dude that tried to snatch his wife.
So Nino, fast as lightnin',
Stabbed him with his switchblade knife.

But, poor Nino, didn't notice,
That the cat he cut, wasn't Dead.
So, as sneaky, as

Brown Paper Packages

Gosh! Out of wrapping paper?
I need more gift wrap,
too late to go to the store.
What can I do! Crap!
Cut brown paper bags,
as wrapping for packages.
Add bows and gift tags.

Brown Paper Packages

Desultory winds

chimera in throes of doubt

effusive, disconsolate

-clanging in hills stout-

Ductile mind bends sound.

virtuoso of the void—

sweet, zoetic, browned

brown paper packages

While getting the noonday sack,
This storyline goes.
A handpuppet gets too much — 
Girl eats with mouth closed,
Then a thermos drops.
In someone's lap, fingertips
Better her heartthrobs.

Brown Noser Bob

Bob once worked for J. Edgar Hoover

Some thought was a shaker and mover

I don't care what they said

Bob swore to get ahead

And mastered the hind-lick maneuver

Charlie Brown

It’s a treasure to have a friend like Charlie Brown
who can be serious and just as easily be a clown
he’s resourceful and never gives up
he’d drink champagne out of a used paper cup

Brown Paper Packages

I love this unravelling!
Tearing loose paper,
cutting sticky tape and string -
what’s this dark vapour?
Package comes from a
“Kaczynski” – wasn’t he the
dreaded Unabomber?

- I Am Brown -

  Don't talk to me
  until I've had my coffee
  Brown beans with a round and rich taste
  provide an invigorating effect

  I drink my morning coffee
  with a clear conscience
  A gentle start to the day
  Coffee beans come in all scents and colors

I am Brown

I am brown, mixed from yellows, reds, and blues
Vibrant underneath but hidden from your views.
My colour brown can change within my hues
Some dark, some light, depends on what I choose.

Blended correctly many shades you'll see
Warm or cool my undertones can be.
Chocolate, beige, or tan to name just three 
So many browns; and all of them

Charlie Brown

Leader of Peanuts gang Charlie Brown
Plays mean football without backing down
But when main crush  Red Haired Gal arrives
He dreadfully runs...attacked by hives!

Brown Eyes

Reminiscent of a doe
with a hue as rich as earth,
your gaze takes me home
to a cedar-filled hearth.

Welcoming like hot chocolate
and as vibrant as autumn's leaves,
your stare carries the life
that Mother Nature herself weaves.

Neutral, yet expressive—
as versatile as leather, but still so alive—
your eyes are the gemstones
favored by the sun and I alike.

Brown Eyes

Irises color of an ancient oak. 
Ancient oak with hues of warm golden honey. 
Honey merging into the ancient oak, creating a spellbound glen in those irises. 
Irises with such a glow. 
Glow only the sun rays catch with their stunning beauty. 
Beauty so unique to see in such eyes. 
Eyes such an escape from

The return of the Goddess

"A future dawn will break, where nations transcend borders and unite as one".

"A symphony of harmony will resonate, as every melody blends into a universal song".

"All goddesses will be revered as facets of the Divine, reflecting the radiance of singular, all encompassing spirit".

            

Mother Earth

fertile ground was found
     the soil a rich deep dark brown
          the seeds were welcome
