Drawls Poems

Echoes Fade in Cemetery

...Names carved deep,
in marble stones, keep
memories fast asleep, 
until loved ones weep.

Mementos kept in drawls,
photos displayed in halls,
precious things hung on walls,
oft echo memory rec...

Inside cell of 16

...By 11, I thought I'd have it down by 15,
But by 16 and a sour sunday morn,
And daisy chains foiled into the moor,
And hands that tighten but ne'er lighten, 
Hands that strangle, stitch, and liven...

I Don’t Deserve You, and You Don’t Deserve Me

...
{"To the ones who want to love me first, I don’t deserve you, and you don’t deserve me. It is vivid, enduring to every human, alluring at any foul play you want to scream what is right and wrong, i...

On the Rug

...On the Rug with Death,
two beers in hand
(though no one here drinks)
we laugh, his lifespan
a joke still fizzed. My breath

ignites wars, lulls drivers
to sleep and builds bridges 
for his gu...

Southern Grace

...Title: Southern Grace


In the land where magnolias bloom,
Beneath the southern sun's warm embrace,
There lies a region filled with tales,
A tapestry woven with Southern grace.

Amidst the fi...

Pride of Place - Piano

...Four-legged guard patrols the papered wall,
Stood by whispering windowpane wind drawls
She is grand, grandiose hardwood keys small
And all across the lounge room rug, she sprawls.
Four-legged gua...

A Day In the Life: Rj

...Morning springs,
when daylight breaks,
when alarm bell rings,
for me to wake.

Day begins
with oblivious staring
and endless pondering
for an idea to set in.

Day proceeds,
going through c...

Sink City

...It’s in the rows of old oaks
                the pothole that was never filled,
                                the decrepit buildings like time capsules
                dark and crumbling, creaki...

Left Behind Swagger

...She swaggers over to our table
Whips out her pad from her apron
Pencil poised
What’cha want Hon?
She drawls
Soft pink lips in a little twinkled pout
The white frilled design
Bust’n out in all ...

Teaching What I Tawt

...with this sing
i songly wed
i did you and
you did too

i bridled the not
French but Spanish
kiss thus tightening
the knot not loosening

i now pronounce you
pronouns in the eyes
of a loon...

Accents

...On the east coast
They will boast tongues
Stress most when pitched.

Each of the town
Will pass down how
Theirs sound in talk.

From New York to
Penn state you will
find new forms said.

Barbershop Quartet

...Old Mr. Nicholson
totters across the town square
to the barbershop where
Clive has cut his hair
for the last forty years or so

Not hardly needing
even a trim
but pretending
he has a reason ...

Haunted

...Blackbird of omen drawls in trembled heaves
Across spoilt air, near an empty farmhouse,
Where a lone keeper plucks blooms and young leaves
Arranging them on the mead's cornerstone
As ...

Making It Twogether

...Deep solace lingers on between the pauses
of your lisping words--- a quest for normalcy
amidst the yells never heard by moonless eves,
by  cathartic drawls  never felt by anyone
except me... hold...
