Burst Your Bubble Poems

They spread the rumour
It ain’t true 
what they like to think of you
only human 
See their mood
humourous 
see you lose
exuberant 
banter bouncing 
blunt abuse
stand rebound it
legs refuse
their open mouths 
wish you clown
jokes they sound 
keep you down
what goes around
It’s your...Read More

Transcending from the darkest hour:
That dark empty space of my mind;
A ghost in a shell: Annabelle... 
I was conjutured up by pain!
A doll: Knowing I was used for the mysteries!
A lamb: with no master; had my own shine, 
So I...Read More

Echoes, silence, peace and violence


All we need is peace, love and empathy.
All we have is war.
All we ever wanted was to be set free;
Still they keep us trapped inside these four walls.


Have a food fight with a butter knife;
The sound...Read More

MY CRAZY CREATURES

This rhyme's about creatures of various sorts.
Creatures with fangs, hairy bellies and warts.
They cause lots of mischief all day long.
Mum always blames me but I’ve done nothing wrong. 
These creatures are crazy. They’re not what you'd think.
Turn over...Read More

How I see my siblings
Eldest
Eldest brother, he was the disciplinarian

Or even a cuff to the head
Encountering him

Who in the world is better than my mommy
Certainly not a Bobcat named Tommy
For my mom's better than a friend
She's the person on whom I can depend
I'm the luckiest fellow that she's my mommy 

So today this message I write
to...Read More

I got nothing but love for you,
baby boy, you're my best friend
We been through a whole lot together,

if I let you keep getting dumped on this way

Before you go complaining
About how your feet are aching
And about how it is you've paid your dues

I guess you'd best be knowing
Exactly where you're going
And when you get there what you plan to do

You're spouting off your stories
All your pain...Read More

Blot out the oozing
Ink stains that smudge


Bring out the best
In humid address


Bear with the chaos
Of crazy compete


Mind then the lazy fits
As the vain detest


Loiter and linger
In null and void


Burst your bubble
Dump useless clutter


Sane is the mad man
Normal packs insane


Deny not...Read More

Be prepared all you young'uns
The golden years aren't always golden
Looking ahead when I was younger
Thought, “what a fantastic notion”

Life would be a blast lounging around
Enjoying my life at its best
Sorry to have to burst your bubble
Coz here comes the real...Read More

(Tongue in cheek! LOL)

Nobody's perfect but I come pretty close
Don't usually brag about my prowess
But sometimes I just get so overwhelmed
My enthusiasm for me is boundless

You may be annoyed by my constant bragging
But when you're as perfect as me
It's almost...Read More

Time is ticking like a bomb about to blow up into smoke and flame

Sorry to say, but get used...Read More

Escaping from...Read More

You've placed me on a pedestal
from which I can but fall
you've conjured up an image
that isn't me at all

I hate to burst your bubble
with this fiction you've created
but the picture burns a little bright
it's a little over stated

I know you...Read More

Pale panes of melting ice
Mist up with breath
And drip, they drip
The panes begin to run
And begin to fall away
Suspended for a second for a minute
To be diverted or perverted
Barriers rotted
False words spurted
Tantrums, tempests, frustration
Aha! I am free
The rotted flesh deceiver
May...Read More

But listening to your jawing, I hear Chisholm spinning in his grave
A Cowboy who don’t drink or cuss, I’ll tell you that’s not right
Ain’t you heard of Old Whiskey Row,...Read More

Feeling sad?  
Well that's too bad,
But why mope around in a dark blue funk?

Why waste your time on all that junk?
