Premium MemberThose Two Dates

Those two dates were the greatest in my life,
Until you decided our chemistry was a lie.
Those two dates lead to a period of strife
In which you eventually made me cry.

Those two dates were of so much value,
Until you decided what we have can just die.
Those two dates made me feel it was true
That you too

Names, dates, birthdays

They don't know my name.

 I keep it hidden between the folds of my skirt. They told me I had to wear it but they don't like that they can't see my legs anymore. I keep it hidden in the bows holding my pigtails together. 


They don't know my name.

I'm my father's daughter, my brother's

Premium MemberThe Date and Calendar

"Nothing changes but the date on the calendar." By Poet

We love our pretty calendars holding our favorite pictures. 
Many pictures of cute animals,
some of majestic land or sea views. 
Each month changes with new pictures to enjoy. 
We circle the dates we need to remember,
never wanting to forget our appointments or events. 
I like to

Beyond Gifts And Dates

There are love this year
That said goodbye
Love that lost their half
Friendship that got angry
Did not reconciled anymore
Love is celebrated everyday
Without having special date
Friendship is enjoyed without schedule
Love that goes beyond gifts and dates.

Premium MemberLeeza and Santa

I heard the door open. It was Leeza (Lisa’s 14-year-old sister),
she’d been out on a date. I was the only one in the living room
as she came in and sagged, dejectedly onto the huge, white
sectional couch, right next to me. She looked positively
deflated. Which is unusual because up until now,
she’s been all freckles and smiles

Ok,

Premium Memberseductress dates my cousin Gus

enchanting ravishing seductress
keeps men guessing her constant needs
her latest conquest is my cousin Gus
victim of her spells, no one can supersede

full of blarney and oodles of bull
twisting him about with great success
she has mesmerized poor Gus’s soul
a black widow who does not confess

Premium MemberHelen Tries Blind Dates

Helen’s blind date had told her about his watermelon car.
She thought he was kidding, but he had gone too far.
He arrived to pick her up and she laughed until she cried.
Blind date ended up leaving her there with her cousin Cyde.

He was a nutbucket, Clyde told her. Blind dates are bad.
The next guy she was

Unread Newspapers

We get to see you rise, step on the cold floor
When the clock strikes five in the dark.
Your cell goes gaga over nothing, you lie
next to our lot, begging attention.

When the lily in your garden and the mynah 
Over the sill shows up, your sleep spent,
You look at the mirror to get a fresh impression

Certain Dates

Certain dates we don’t forget
For it is automatic
To think about events which
In our lives were quite traumatic.

November twenty-second and
Eleventh of September
Are dates my generation
Will just naturally remember.

But other dates are personal
And even if I tried,
I never could forget today,
The date my father died.

Each year I flash back to that time
And feel that jolt of pain
That
