Her name was Gwen
and she was a poet
but Gwen was a penguin
so Gwen couldn’t show it
Gwen couldn’t pen things
no hands on her wings
She was no pen Gwen
the poet penguin

Hen for Gwen
Once knew a lady named Gwen
was so short about three-ten
couldn't tie her shoes
she drank wicked booze
now she's eaten an old hen.
A sweet poetess named Gwen
is like the Soup's mother hen.
I think she must never tire,
always here giving words to inspire!
Does anyone remember the sweetie, Gwendolen?
I wrote this for her a few years ago but she has
been gone almost two years now. Sure miss her!!

Gwendolyn Geritrude
Blackened the windows with
curtains so plain.
Neighborly aesthetic
peri-precautiously
people all decided
she was insane.

My attempt at Double Dactyl.
Let me know what you think.
Constructively.
Fluid Drive for Gwen
Sleep is a many splendored ring
[lostfully] lust in sleep’s [giant] silent loss.
rungs of ‘nipples, climbing...[
ladder] in [Vegas,...chest-quest
frost, first cropped then tops
stops and sings a song of sixpence
love and fluid drive for Gwen
who gave me hives
on weekend pooldives
in hills never been or bottomed
on show couch beer rain Limo soak night[fright]
Westwood look crossroad took Norma[she was dying] to her table
white wicker sky- never make cushions for Wicker furniture[straining to be heard]
shrinking into dream of fame.
lime green Fermento [fragmentedly]
thing sitting in yard [windy] Wendy[sometimes it is still when someone here is
dying][trying to die],
. still in an acabe
Medina is the lover of patroclus
Sometimes a Blue come push down death’s trembling curtain
Yesterday on my walk I saw a funeral Heart be touched by Grace
The carp swimming old in May circling dead [dead as can be]
a kid said as she jumped to me; [old dead snot-snout] “Home is the sailor” [home is the sea].
It's called the golden anniversary
when it has lasted for 50 years
when a couple manages to stay together
through all the blood, the sweat and the tears
you've had your share of make-ups and shake-ups
yet your love and respect for each other remained steadfast
and despite your obvious commitment to each other
there were some who did not think it would last
but Ed and Gwen you proved them all wrong
as your marriage only got better and strong
your love for each other has endured the test of time
for Jesus is your foundation and the root of your vine
together you entered into the political ring
and dealing with Congress is not an easy thing
together you raised and reared a child or two
and in spite of the teenage years somehow you made it through
to Mr & Mrs. Edolphus Towns, man and woman, husband and wife
your 50 year union is a testimony on how to have a good married life
to Ed and Gwen from your Berean Baptist Church family
we love you, we honor you and we salute you on your 50th Anniversary
laces,boots,singers
lets play love on the inside
twice you called,i missed
I remember when I pulled off your wig
I mist have been only 3
your face
no words
instead of tell me off you wrote me a poem
I do the same for you like you did for me
we had a bond like blood
I used to collect silver milk bottle tops for you
shiny gifts
random but very me
I'll never forget you
Gwen until we meet again
In memory of Gwen Radha Soami
