Long Aahs Poems

Date  October  2049

Desharah was on the video phone
With Dolly. "Ma me and the kids
Are coming for a visit and Ame is
Coming too and he's bringing his 
Family. DJ...

It was just another Saturday night,
wasn't with nobody
My pockets were full
and my heart was on call
I was dressed to the nines,
and my hair was laid just fine
when I stepped into the 
Coats-For-Kids charity ball
I made...

When a child sees a dolphin…something happens in their brain….
in their heart and in their soul…something you can’t explain…

The evening dark and foggy as the children in their guises
with Mums and Dads in tow; collecting trick or treat surprises.

My porch, festooned with spiders, ghosts and ugly-looking gore,
signalled that I’d welcome them if they...

As nations lined up to watch it all pass by

Chrystal spears of every color...

leaves still summer green, 
a chilly breeze rustling some, turned golden early 
in anticipation of the fall.
Neil at one end of the log; 
me at the other.

Occasionally we paused our...

An ensemble of basic settlers

That came from a land of alphabetic letters

A simple initially empty word

That soon creates a crowded world,

Of oohs and aahs, of wows and hows

Or of yucks and tongue clucks, of sighs...

mirroring her daytime as a domicile prima donna star

No safety net exist for those who are poor
Except the set of skills honed ekeing some more
This life's trapeze I swing wageless to survive,
I climb the breeze then where waged heroes must thrive

The skillet hung near the old wood-burning kitchen stove.
Aside from her family, Mom considered it a special trove.
With that blackened old pan she prepared delicious repasts,

There is no point
If you have ‘been there, done that’
Unless you announce so loudly
On social sites

I am part of a display team
we don't practice, we all just know
to twist and turn together,
as we put on our aerobatic show.

Colored lights may hypnotize
and sparkle someone else's eyes
now, woman

glitter like you've been drinking glitterade from devilish
dixie cups' alchemy secreting formulas outshining
phosphoric secretions from fireflies and other
coelacanthic creel creatures scantily clad depth diving

And I had no options, no choice but just to accept
That somewhere out there
Under my nose existed someone

Photographs in black and white
Show patterns in soft blankets
Of the precious princess wrapped
And tucked in with love.

Fountain hairstyle classic touch
With “oohs” and “aahs”
When dimples and smiles appear
To faces circling from above.

Months scouring and scanning
Books bought...

Read about a family
With a house of sparkling lights,
Which take months for them to hang 
For weeks of festive Christmas nights.

And people drive for miles
To cruise around their property

Like building a house without any door
My garden needs flowers but nothing would grow
People were coming to visit the show
So I planted some pips looked like speckeldy seed

The leader, philosophical and wise,
Ends his speech after a long silent pause,
His true followers with half open eyes
Responding with admiring oohs and aahs.

Turn up the mic on the silence to hear
A leader's lust for worship...
