The Cobwebs of Dreams

It was a sunny day, perhaps to clear
I thought
Mother sat in the kitchen sunlight, making her white hair into a halo
I asked how old she was, 92 she said, I knew
trapped in a dream, she didn't live that long
By the slow river, I saw furniture drifting 
My brother said that people who lived downstream
went upstream to buy furniture, to save on transport
cost, they dumped furniture into the river, where
relatives  downstream picked it up
sometimes, they lost a table or a commode, but that
was a risk one had to take
I knew this was a dream
Walking on a soft road in the forest, but something
wrong, a strange red light from the trees. I was
trapped inside a painting by a mad Russian artist
Luckily, I had a flick knife
Then it was morning, I'm not sure, the line between reality and the subconscious merge perhaps, yesterday is today.

Premium MemberWhen Everything Else Loses Its Voice

We're now into the year of twenty twenty three
And still there's no solution to see eye to eye
Will we learn since descending from the trees
Or are we everending to simply walk on by

Lifes global insecurities amidst epidemic rife
Whilst conglomeration greed suffocates souls
Lacerating lives like a dark alley flick knife
It'll never be for the poor, only richers goals

We're now into the year of twenty twenty three
It's been a year since two neighbours became
Will they learn since descending from the trees
Its the same old story, no one takes the blame

Lifes global insecurities amidst epidemic rife
Blatant corruption aplenty, food banks strive
As we read, the constant fueling, more strife
Knowing days, the next, accumulating lives

We're now into the year of twenty twenty three
Its all very well the few that can bunker down
Then, when everything else loses its voice
Were we mapped out, to our radiation drown.

Cobwebs of Dreams

The cobwebs of dreams 

It was a clear day…Too clear I thought. Mother sat in the kitchen,
sunlight made her white hair into a halo. I asked how old she was,
ninety-two she said; knew I was trapped in a dream she didn`t 
live that long. 
By the slow river I saw furniture drifted, my brother said it was
people who lived downstream but bought furniture upstream
and to save on the transport dumped the stuff in the river and
relatives picked it up further down.
Sometimes a table or a chair got lost a risk they were willing to take. 
I knew this too was a dream.
Walked along a soft road in a forest, but something was wrong
there was a strange red light emitting from trees; I was trapped
inside a painting by a mad Russian artist; luckily I had a flick knife.
I think it is morning, perhaps not, sometimes the line between
and the subconscious emerges, maybe yesterday is today.

Sondheim On Sondheck # 8 .

This is a parody on Gee Officer Krupke from West Side Story .

   Dear  Doctor  Grumpee
   Nobody  knows
   Why  I'm  hooked  on  this  site
   Writing  poetry  and  prose .
   I  write  sonnet  and  haiku
   Short  tanka  and  monoku
   Golly gee , to  me  it's  poetry flu .

     Gee  Doctor Grumpee , I'm spewing' out  words 
    I  know it  sounds  crazy  and  really  absurd
        I  ain't  no  Shakespeare
      Don't  misunderstand
   This  weird  word-flow  ain't  planned .

         It  ain't planned  ;   It  ain't  planned 
         It  ain't planned  ;   It  ain't  planned
         No.. It  ain't planned .
 
NURSE ICEMAN ; " His symptoms are so gory ".

SISTER AKSHUN ;" Lemme tell it to the ward " .

NURSE ICEMAN ; " No!  Tell it to the Surgeon " .


   Dear  Surgeon  Flick-Knife
   My words  simply  flowed
   Epigram ,  quatrain
   Tetractys  and  ode 
   Elegy  ballade
   Nonet  and  rhyme
   Suffering  scalpels ! ,  now  I'm  feeling  fine .
