Song unsung

There is a piece I've longed to share,
which, up 'til now, I wouldn't dare,
where courage pushes fear aside
and shackles up my foolish pride... 

To put to words, as much for me,
affection in simplicity,
and say those things I wished I could...
that chance may now be gone for good. 

I near succumbed to COVID's wrath;
now, barricades deny clear path -
a bottleneck for oxygen.
So much to tell; where to begin?

A battle raged; a drawn-out war
that ended with a winning score:
I pulled ahead - a blessed reprieve;
the reaper's gone; yet, still, I grieve. 

For scars remain; we coexist.
Not given up; I will persist,
but dreams? There was one 'mong the few:
to hold you close and sing for you...

A tune that melds our hearts together,
and keeps us warm through stormy weather,
a lullaby to ease all fear
and let you know how much I care. 

But vocals won't cooperate;
on ev'ry nerve the raucous grates. 
Those singing days are done, it seems;
some visions, sadly, dwell in dreams. 

If fate insists that I must wait,
this voice will ring at Heaven's gate!
So, pardon, if I'm way off-tune;
at least, at last, Love will shine through!!

Peppers and Eggs

Jodie Foster is frying peppers and eggs ~ it is late and her legs
ache as she scrambles the yokes, sautés jalapenos.
Today a jerk again compared her to the movie star ~a life she
never wanted keeps invading her reality, even though she was
born earlier, people consider her the fraud; the fake, the
`knock-off.'

Not for the first time she imagines changing her name, but always
there is a fear of not being compared to anything at all.

There is a loud noise upstairs. She freezes, she recalls
the movie -`Panic Room.' She runs to her downstairs closet,
bolting the door behind her. Footsteps descend - it is Jodie Foster
in her role as Agent Starling. Jodie has a gun and is seeking
her rapist from a previous movie.

Scripts are merging. The Jodi who cooks peppers and eggs
understands why she has always avoided cliffhangers - suspense
thrillers. She cries softly in the dark as she clutches
a Dollar Store spatula, a utensil that will never work
as well as a real branded weapon.

Comparisons

Jodie Foster is frying peppers and eggs
~ it is late and her legs ache
as she scrambles the yokes, sautés jalapenos.

Today a jerk once again
compared her to the movie star.

Not for the first time
she considers changing her name.

A loud noise upstairs. She freezes,
she recalls the movie: Panic Room,
runs to her downstairs closet,
bolting the door behind her.

Footsteps descend, she imagines
it is the real Jodie Foster
in her role as Agent Starling.

The other Jodi
cries softly in the dark as she clutches
a Dollar Store spatula,
a utensil that will never work
as well as a real branded one.

Comparisons In the Dark

Jodie Foster is frying peppers and eggs.
It is late and her legs ache
as she scrambles the yokes, 
sautés the jalapenos.

Today a jerk again compared her 
to the film actress.
A life she never wanted keeps invading her reality.
Even though she was born earlier
people consider her the ‘wrong one.’

Not for the first time 
she imagines changing her name,
A noise upstairs, the woman freezes
then runs to her understairs closet, 
bolting the door.

Footsteps descend. 
It is the movie star Jodie Foster,
She has a gun and is seeking her imposter.

Life-scripts are merging;
she understands why she has always avoided
cliffhangers - suspense thrillers.

Jodie cries softly in the dark 
clutching a Dollar Store spatula 
that will never work as well as a branded one.

Jodie Catherine Lynn Fox

Here lies Jodie Catherine Lynn Fox
Slipped and fell in a patch of phlox
Hit her head on a stone
There she lay silent prone
We put her remains in a new frocked box

Be Mine Jodie

Jodie
jodie jodie jodie
Your name rhymes with toadie
its funny because you like frogs 
you're very pretty and i find that pog.
When you speak it gives me butterflies 
maybe its because im not circumcised.
Why do I love you so
without you i'm lost like nemo.
You're a scorpio
oh what sad woes
as im a virgo
isn't this great as our star signs align
maybe because you do design!
Well I must summarise
i don't want to be one of the other guys,
so what I'm say is will you just be mine!

A Rose With No Thorns

A rose with no thorns

As soft an open as a rose with no thorns. Although the past have created some, I can not see them and I can not feel them. My petals wilt and I decompose and find nutrients in the soil. And I bloom.

By Jodie Middleton

Contrasting Baby Showers

Baby shower for popular Jodie
Fifty-six presents, games, prizes, 
Lots of laughter, thirty-two co-workers in attendance
Hilarity rings out bringing in two more co-workers

Two weeks later
Same company
Same invitees.
Different mom-of-honor.

Baby shower for shy Pam.
Five gifts, three co-workers show up.
Two games, difficult to play with only three.
Lots of left over cake. Feelings of embarrassment.
Sad comparison for Pam had been to Jodie's shower

Jodie Grinham

Jodie is a law student born in Telford, 
Living in Tilford, so she happily attends,
Lillishall Nat. Sports & Conference Centre, 
And was born on the 26th July in 1993.

When her dad became ill, needed lifted, 
He followed his parents into archery, 
So she watched him shoot and score,  
Which made her want to also join in.

Jodie was born without any fingers, 
And only half a thumb on her left hand, 
Her left shoulder has some problems,  
And likewise her elbow, it has issues. 

So she shoots with a compound arrow, 
With one that’s specially adapted, 
And bets other competitors she can win, 
‘Cos she’s bubbly and enthusiastic. 

Her biggest achievement to talk today, 
Happened at Nove Mesto, Czechoslovak, 
At the Para Worlds in the year of 2015,
Where she won mixed team bronze. 

Rio will be her first Paralympic Games, 
And it’s her goal, ambition and dream, 
To become both the World Champion, 
And the great Paralympic gold medalist.

My Two Girls

A tale of my two girls.
One's called Jodie
and one's called Daisy.
They have a lot in common,
mostly they're both crazy.
Being teens,
so full of life,
infact they both amaze me.
One big difference,
for all to see
is that one's covered in skin,
the other is much more hairy.
Both mastered in the art of making noise
and both attract all of the boys.
Both love to go out in the sun,
just as soon as the day has begun.
When it rains they don't go out,
they stay indoors and muck about.
They're full of fun and love to play,
that's non stop every single day.
I can't keep up,they're too much for me
but without them
I never want to be.

Colourblind

Draw me.
Not as they see me,
ignore the flaws that feed my self-pity.
Discount the bruises, the cast iron shackles,
the nostalgic anchors bound to my ankles.

Sketched from behind, so you can't see me cry,
fake charcoal tears cannot be justified.
And from your rear view your gasp breaks the silence,
is it such a surprise to discover I'm spineless?
I want you to draw me before you know me,
I guess I'm intrigued to see how you see me

So I strip off my clothes, as they pool at my feet
I'm stripped of my shackles and anchored deceits.
And I stand there, naked, my legs start to shake,
What do you see in your colourblind state?

You won't see my cheeks kidnapped by a blush,
or the lightning blue sparks though we didn't yet touch.
Lifeless and grey in your fogged imagination
Scared I'll seem dull in your black and white vision.
I want to be painted in shades of crimson,
Monochrome portraits won't portray my passion.

The Willow Tree At the End of the Road

I must have been 7 when I first climbed that old willow tree,
The gang called it the club house.
There was Jodie, Bridget and of course Rebecca the Wrecker. 
I think that that tree was more of school than school.
It was more a parent than my parents.
I certainly learned more about life, boys and the fear of falling,
Than any other place I've been.
We once placed 5 snake eyed marbles there.
The first was Courage in Adversity.
The second marble was Joy in the good times.
The third was Faith to overcome Doubt.
The fourth was Love thy Father.
The fifth marble was Love thy Mother.

I went back one day, all grown up.
I saw that the council had a sign on the tree.
This tree is regarded as unsafe. 
Please beware.

Oh doubt in my childhood. Fear in the  every day.
Let not the pangs of daily life ever erase
The treasured moments in that tree.

The Retreat

A divide in my path, the election of flight
or extract my weapons and prepare to fight?
I would combat forever, if it was worth
The prize of envy and eternal hurt

What if I fought, but still never won?
Fought til my heart had no beats left to drum
Would I come out on top, yet still no victory
Will you ever truly belong to me?

My instinctive army yells I'll never yield
Urges my flight from this battlefield
I kick off the ground and never look back
But at least I retreat with my dignity intact
