Expecting Poems

I am Expecting a Blood Letting

the vampire ball will be held in Salem for a lark
a place where witches don’t like to be after dark
I went anyway, with my cousin Glud
For he loves gruesome stuff, gore and blood

I was dressed in the brightest purple I could find
with homemade black tulle ruffles, the stiffening kind
it was low cut, so my neck could be easily bled
In case a vampire needed to be diligently fed.

I am wearing a garter belt that is satin with a bow
Attached are old world hose, silky ones that flow
My high heeled shoes are painted red on the bottom
The vampire ball is held, of course, predictably in autumn

I am expecting a blood-letting, without benefit of leeches.
I have already had that happen at one of the beaches
a handsome vampire will dive down and take my hand
And lead me through his silver tongue to the promised land.

My cousin Glud has been told to get lost when he arrives.
I expect my handsome prince to come down in fancy dives
He will be wearing a tuxedo that matches my satin dress.
We will be such a great twosome, I’ll have to attend church and confess.

Gemini

'To Womb it may concern,'
tho' not quite the norm,
the gyno's form letter read,
'I am pleased to inform
you are not about to have a baby,
but instead,
in brief,
double your pleasure
double your fun,
it may be a relief,
so with no further ado,
not keeping mum
nor holding you on needles and pins,
with two for the price of one,
Madame, you are expecting twins.'

expecting greatness

Have you ever had your heart do a cartwheel
Anticipating something marvelous happening
Knowing today is going to be super special?

Yesterday was such a day
I thought I might learn a new skill
Develop a new hobby, find a lost treasure

I wrote seventeen poems
Painted on ten canvases
Same oh same oh

But this quick feeling of excitement was not wasted
It inspired and enthused me to expect greatness
That feeling is always welcome

Expecting

I used to expect a lot out of people, I got tired of the disappointment when they didn't come through

EXPECTING TO FLY

EXPECTING TO FLY

You watch outside the window at the bird's nest
Watching the baby bird leaning on the mother's breast
I want to give the mother and baby a wave
But I think they just want to rest before they engage
The baby is still very young
And the young bird flying has just begun
I know the baby bird flying will start slow
But it's just nice watching this little bird start to grow
The baby bird is just starting to stand
Without its mother lending a helping hand
When the baby bird starts to fly
It won't start very high
And I hope it will not be the bird's last goodbye
It was a rainy day at dawn
And I looked outside and they were gone
I don't know where they flew to
All I know they just flew the coup

Not The Ring She Was Expecting

Jimmy wanted shut of his girlfriend Joan
Because all she did every day was moan
She was longing for some bling
A bright gold engagement ring
But he ditched her with a' ring' to her phone.

Expecting Ingratitude Is Fortitude

Do not be a damn fool
Helping all just like that
Please change your rule
Then, joy you can get

None bothers about you
As all are self-centered
None will offer any rescue
Mainly greed has entered

You may move a big mountain
Or cross all the seven oceans
Still may criticize your captain
Showing badly bitter emotions

The best remedy, you will show
To extricate your whole group
This help, all may come to know
Still may arrange for your coup

Your mother alone will love ever
Like a perennial pleasant spring
She only will ever be a believer
As to you peace that may bring

So please take my word dear
Help all, but expect nothing
Preserve your own cheer
And be your own great King.

To An Expecting Mother

Two perfect feet and too perfect hands
My wish for you, ________ when the stork finally lands
As sleep becomes scarce and the crying never ends
Know that you are forever surrounded by friends
You've got this and that, and the next thing too
Because a fantastic loving mother is inside of you
May smiles and coos overwhelming show
That even your newborn will see this to be so
Heart felt congratulations on this special gift
Remember that always when soiled diapers are whiffed

And Yes It's True, I Am Expecting

People look at me and wonder what is that glow. Some have said, you look different, you are super happy, you done gained a couple of pounds, why are you always smiling, what’s going on with you? Girl, are you expecting? 
Well yall, since so many of yall wanna know and since it’s no secret, yes it’s true, I’m Expecting!

I’m Expecting a Miracle
I’m Expecting to Prosper
I’m Expecting Greatness
I’m Expecting Joy
I’m Expecting Increase 
I’m Expecting God’s favor
I’m Expecting Abundance and overflow
I’m Expecting God’s mercy and grace
I’m Expecting God’s peace
I’m Expecting God’s many promises of protection…

So yeah, like I said, I’m expecting and I did gain a couple of pounds, a couple pounds of peace, a couple of pounds of joy, a couple of pounds of favor, a couple of pounds of overflow… and I am truly blessed, grateful and thankful that I have been Expecting and receiving. 

So with that being said, I’m Expecting you to be Expecting too.

Thank You Father, thank You!

Expecting the Covid Police

In a doctor’s office during a pandemic
Two old friends greet each other
Loud voices, enthusiasm showing
They run to hug
Two thousand signs say stay six feet apart 
They are old men
Probably far-sighted
Cannot see the signs
I look at the nurses
Will they hose them down?
The men embrace
The Covid Police do not come to haul them to the pokey
I feel relief

I Just Live With a Hope

I am a rock 
Weary of being hated 
I live in the desert of restlessness 
I stand there emotionless 
There  are no tears 
There are no expressions 
I am just alive,
With a heavy heart 
The beautiful world of mine had vanished 
People I loved now don't think me beloved
I just live with a hope,
Hoping my world will return

Are You Expecting

“Are you expecting?”, expecting what I say
A courier package or perhaps a brand new sleigh 
A sleigh Santa wishes for
Fly like in days of yore
Spend time with the naughties romping in the hay

Hooray We Are Expecting

Princess Snowflake
Your about to fulfill your destiny
Said the midwife. You need to take
A break
Your going to have your own family.
Princess Snowflake
In six months you will bring in to this world
Your husband's namesake
Talk about authenticity.
Said the midwife. You need to take
More walks around fairy lake
Plus get ready your baby's nursery.
Princess Snowflake
Right now the stakes
Aren't high but you will have to be relieved of
Duty.
Said the midwife. You need to take
The stress off your husband Prince Drake.
Tell him this pregnancy isn't an urgency until
Your baby is ready to come then you will have
Exclusively a royal celebrity.
Princess Snowflake
Said the midwife you two go celebrate with a
Steak.
