Premium MemberTale of Sue Drew Woo and Curly Sue

Sue, girly snail with eyes of blue
Your charm has bowled over bull frog Drew
He wants to court you, to truly woo
Sorry, said the snail, but my love grew
For another creature, a moth named Woo

But Woo had his eye on his cousin Curly Sue
A caterpillar who was fairly new
A love song that most of us never

Living where the bad guys dwell
Stirring up fire and brimstone too
evil tone for my cousin Drew

I Drew You

I drew you today,
your butt came out too big,
your arms weren't as broad as I wanted them to be,
your hair is fine.

There are no hands and feet,
there is no face.

I wanted to show your chest,
your hair that grows there,
I wanted to show your muscles,
I wanted to show more,
but I didn't.

It didn't come out as good

If God drew


would the skies be blue
would the circle be around
emotions colour coded
would the W
……………a

…………….e
………….…r in clear innocence
Would mistakes be scraped from the canvas
replaced with a cloud
You can never have enough clouds
would a single bristle
ruin 
I think god might be a dog
Here me out
He makes you look for him
The noises he makes when he sleeps
Your favourite chair

Premium MemberNancy Drew

After I read all of the Trixie Belden books I could find
My aunt Janice allowed me to read one of her Nancy Drew books
She had a book case filled with them.
She was chintzy with them, only allowed me to borrow one at a time.
I used to beg to take two, but she had her standards.
So

Excitement

I want some excitement in my life, 
Other than just day dreaming all my life. 
Thinking about the past days, 
Where trust was the biggest maze. 

Now all I can think about is my past fallacy, 
When I thought friendship was easy . 
When I thought life would be simple, 
When I thought solution could

You Know Those Moments When You Pretend To Know Something and Drew a Breath

but don't
thats the place i live
best trip is when the best trip
and you are there to see it
how about this for rhyming
I didn't have a clue
Never knew
my sweat glands were filled with glue
guilt has turned his hue
see mommy she will know what to do
Newspaper reports too few
Harry flew
This is just personal
F**k you
Prince,,,

Premium MemberDrew Wants To Know

Sometimes I get to wondering, why?
Almost any old subject will do,
          For I have one of those curious minds
          Like a three-year-old named Drew

Sometimes he tugs on my trousers
And stares up into my cloudy eyes,

Premium MemberShe Drew the Clouds Apart

She drew the clouds apart
bid me: “Look beyond”
my darkness

exhale a cleansing breath
whisper: “Let it be”

wave an open hand
in silent peace

inhale the unheard cries
of scentless petals
falling

listen to the mantric drone
of honey bees

watch the darkness shift
through thinning veils

ease into the light
that is your own

She drew the clouds apart
so that I might see
my darkness

When We Drew Lines

The line in the sand which we drew in my bed, do you recall how we drew them, the things that we said?  Was it just hot air to keep my balloon afloat, rambling and kidding before grabbing your coat and dropping an anchor to try sink my boat before disembarking?

The line, those words,
