Janet From Another Planet

Maybe you’ve seen Janet
she’s from another planet
making all her regular stops
at the local charity shops
loves a second hand rail or two
lives in the land of good as new
to knock and shock them in the aisles
with frocks and socks of different styles 
for Bolton she’s a smidgen bold
but not one to be pigeonholed

Maybe you’ve seen Janet
she’s

Janet

Your soft love, my graceful dove,Kindles my dark essence.
Your divine lips and your sinful hips are of great consequence.
The whole world knows your ethereal embers,
Yet I'm the only one who truly remembers
That your gilded presence on this muddy earth,
Is the sole reason of love's birth.
Yet in entirety, you have given,
Your love's worth, to someone who

Premium MemberWaltz For Janet Webb

She wore thick leggings
our childhood polio albatross
mass Sabin vaccine sauce
body snatcher ritual
fixed beautiful legs.

(In early elementary school she wore braces most of the way through 6th grade. We all went to the nearby JHS to drink the approved Sabin vaccine. By 7th grade she had healed. She had beautiful, working legs.) She has recently, physically

Janet

We met many years ago.
On a farm where tiger lilies grow.
The scent of an apple pie.
The bright sun shining in the sky.

I dreamt of the day I would meet you.
Yet I always thought it would be the hardest thing to do.
For the love I had for your son.
Your first born boy, your number one.

I wanted

The thought of life on another planet
Held no appeal for Grandma Janet
  But the COVID lockdown
  Made Grandma fret and frown
Masks banned there? ~ I think I can stand it

Premium MemberJanet and I Our Souls Were Once Connected Now We'Re Not-

Janet 
We had a love so pure, this I was sure;
our souls were connected, 
our souls were connected, 
true love, I really believed was assured;
Our spirits danced under the moonlit night;
Whom am I to ignite, passions rights;
~
But our love was just a figment of a swear; 
And forever meant only a day 
it destroys me,

Just For Mama Janet

Grace granted us a say on our knees:
a thousand pleas pummeled the sky,
stirred the heavens. The Lord moved,
gentle thunder rumbled: 

My daughter's back home!

Our hearts sank, too heavy to bear,
for Janet was a sweetheart, a mother
we've hugged for twenty years and more—
never saw anger crease her comely face

or her girth tinged with the pride of

Janet Lynn

Living the life of innocence
Not giving into pretense

The act of being good and kind
That person so hard to find

No mean or harsh words
That would be absurd

There was a peace and tranquility
The spender in serendipity

Unassuming of others motive
Leaving alone the combative

Gentleness and a quite reserve
Angelic to observe

It was special to know and love
Gone now but renewed

Janet

Jubilant with clarity in motion
Atoned in descent whiff 
Nested with magnificent truth
Eclipsed at heart, soul and mind
True amongst earthly beauties

I Was a Nurse in Vietnam,
Not Something I’d Recommend.
I Was Present So Many Times,
When a Soldier Met His End.

I Don’t Do Nursing Anymore,
And I Haven’t since Vietnam.
I Saw and Felt Too Much....
I Am Just Not Very Strong.

I Know There Were Quite a Few,
That Were Helped Because I Was There.
For this I Thank God Every Day,
I

Who went everywhere on the planet
She danced in France
And then, by chance
Ended up on top of the granite

long and flowing
white milky skin

for romance

She's a Tough Girl and looks it, yeah
Hands quick to clench into fists, tongue like a blade.
Chainsmokes and drinks when she cuts school,
Which is often.

Half her friends pregnant, or worse
Before they can drive;
She doesn't expect to turn out any different.
God alone knows what goes on at home,
And He's keeping that to Himself.

Yeah, she's a tough
