Premium Member Steve the Rooster

Drawing out
 from the spirit of Steve 
Crowing each morning 
singing to the light 
Six million 
dollar rooster 
In bionic terms 

I would lift him 
up all proud 
Aged about nine 
at the time 
He was the champion 
Lifting stones 
Feeding him worms 

Followed us like a dog 
He was the top rooster 
in the yard 
given to me 
as a pet 
I looked after him 
like royalty 

One sad day 
Home from school 
He went missing 
Calling for him 
in the garden 
Nowhere to be seen 

Mother shouts 
Dinner will be 
ready in five 
I asked 
if she saw Steve 
No was the reply 
A few minutes later 

Called in 
Sitting down 
at the table 
To a leg of chicken 
Accompanied with chips 
Finished eating 
My father began 
Roaring laughing 

When I asked 
about the rooster 
He laughed 
you just ate 
one of his legs 
I burst out crying 
Trying to get sick 
What a monster 

Balling out 
roaring crying 
My mother tried 
to put her arms 
around me 
I pushed 
her away 

Horrified at what she done 
Sure she cooked him 
I could not believe it 
Thinking she 
was always 
Very kind to me 

I was so sick 
could not believe 
Just ate 
my favorite pet 
Went to the bed 
Cried myself 
to sleep 

No more Steve 
Food of thought 
Watching out the window 
Before sleep 

As the dogs ate 
The last of him 
I still 
remember fondly 
With chips 

I see the light 
In your darkness 
Only now 
I crow 
In the light

Premium Member Tin Can Kid

Happy (dead) Mother's Day.
Here's a fistful of wildflowers for your final resting place. 
Your demise was far swifter than your time.
I wasn't old enough to get to know you.
Just a few matted memories and some 8mm film clips

Your smile was sweet and wide.
You gave me a naked cowboy piggyback ride.
We had a cat named Blue and a short, wide bulldog.
I'm guessing by the small room smiles
these were the best of our times.
Dad got rid of Blue because she couldn't break the habit of crapping in the bathtub.

One day a kid split my lip with a tin can.
I went balling into mother.
Another time I opened the farmer's gate so the cows could escape,
For punishment, he gave me a dead corn snake necklace.

Black crows surrounded mother's final bloody bed.
A little silver music box reminded me of her 
It gave me some sad sort of comfort.
Time graciously swept most of the rot from inside this head.

While In Deep Sleep Revelation of Matthew Scott Woke

I surmise yours truly i.e. me
a slacker boomer - ye,
whereby repose finds me
face buried in pillow free
and clear of Earthly worry

mainly, namely, particularly...
lack of legal tender re: money
woeful bane, yes unarguably
legitimate casus belli key
ping mental state agonizingly

able, eager, and ready to re
sign livingsocial or alone thee,
major source of acrimony
sea ying boatloads sunk
gone (courtesy maintenance

costs 2009 Hyundai Sonata), one she
tee chitty chitty bang bang bee
cause original parts conking out - see
maddeningly, practically, simultaneously

within weeks and months invariably
major component, a doggone conspiracy,
methinks maybe climate change, or possibly
Jewish ancestor condemned during
to death (think, yea even say) auto de fe,

where subsequent generations automatically
branded convicted heretics sentenced
and executed, plus any accouterments wheely
rendering twenty first century western
civilization and concomitant car rears je

ne sais quoi necessary not simply cree
chore comfortant, which upkeeping de
creed red hot poker faced anger - be
getting sudden impulse where
tightly balling fists punch thighs

vocalizing with primal screaming - ye
probably heard - hmm maybe
being stone cold dead to the world
not such a worse fate after all - si?

Premium Member All Because He Didn'T Care

Looked in the left and I saw no one right;
So I choose the sun;
Looked to the right and no one was left;
I saw no one;
All because they didn't care;
All because they didn't care;

I thought he was my friend;
Yes he is, yes he was, I guess he's not
I just forgot
I thought that he cared;
I guess he should, I guess he would I guess I'm not
All because they didn't care;

And when I witness to the strangers;
I tell them I love them
and when they get on Face book I de-friend them
what's the matter???

I thought they were my friends;
Yes I did, they sure is, I'm wondering
I knew they are my friends because they stop calling;
use to go basket-balling?
But not now they've shown me that they care;
just as tho, I wasn't there???
all because, because they didn't care;

So I looked to the left, and I saw no one right
So I chose the Son
Immanuel  Jesus Christ;
He loves me, for who I am
won't judge me cause I am his lamb;
and when my feelings have died;
I shall to rise, to be forever with HIM by HIS side
all because they didn't care
I will forever be HIS bride;
all because they just don't care

As I looked left I saw Jesus
As I looked right there was Jesus
I am so glad that I choose the SON;
just because HE really cares;

Premium Member His Emotional War

Rain swept mud into his cheeks, 
As black rays fell from the sky,
And his mottled hair, with broken black streaks, 
Washed his tiresome eye,

Yet he peered straight ahead, with a dead shot line, 
Not thinking of what he could feel, 
Not thinking about the life that he lead, 
Not thinking about if it was real,

Then he pulled the trigger, fired the round, 
And watched the slug float away,
Watched the slug go on its way, 
For a demolishing, exploding ballet,

“Yes”, he kissed his hand, he kissed his soul, 
He kissed his love for the fear,
He kissed his emotional feeling on high, 
And reloaded his paint balling gear.

Covering the Rage

The pounding palpatation, the moistening of palms
Swallowing, an obstacle, wave goodbye to calm
Breathing now is labored, balling of the fist
Paranoid my eyes have bled, consumed in a red mist
It's lucky that my tongue is glued to the roof of my mouth
At least I'm keeping some control of things I shouldn't shout
Things I shouldn't scream and rage and spasm til I ache
Hands behind my back so I dont punch you in the face
It's not that I'm not used to it, it happens every night
It's the root of every problem, subject of every fight
The time has come to ask myself, how longer can I hack it.
Or the answer to a good night's sleep?
Sleep with separate blankets.

Falling

Falling
I touched down 
And they frowned at me 
I keep balling 
They keep talking
I keep working 
They keep watching
What next I might become
I love to see them alive 
Expecially those with hate 
Cos am now the actor 
They never wish to watch
They bleed I bless 
They curse I grow 
Am not in the league of a curse 
Generation
I came out blessed
So if they continue to live 
As long they hate 
The more am blessed 
I swear Cos they can't 
wait to see Me 
Falling 




Falling
I believe in human resource
So my best investment
Is on human being
This is why I love 
And love to bless 
I own no grudges
I never love them either
I didn't want to cross no man 
So no man should cross I
If life is with this mentality
Then I should have been writing
Another poem
I hate to be perfect 
But remember me 
Remember that despite who I am
Yet I showed love 
I showed care 
I pure and shared my heart with you 
Remember me and be happy 
Cos out there am not the same
Only God See's the deepest heart 
Of a man 
And time remains the prove of truth 
So remember my Poems for humanity
Even when the world is 
Falling

Unripe Ripe Men

A dog that is feeding on milk
Won't go all days been fed by an ilk
When situation makes him bilk
Then the dog won't be as fine as a silk

A ball at the back of the net is a goal
Two balling on bed must have become a soul
With the one that is in control
Pleasurably drilling the hole

Two goals are called a brace
Jubilation is always of deep embrace 
How hard opponents feel so disgrace 
Trying to come back in form through grace

Three goals are called an hatrick 
After two is no longer a baby mama by trick 
Enjoying the memorable awesome kick
Which never get you sick 

Unexpectedly in love; 
Hugs plant Olive.  
Unexpectedly with peers; 
Olive's shade gears cheers.
Unexpectedly in joy;
I, a playboy.
Unexpectedly with ladies; 
Scope drives Mercedes. 

But men are running late for altar's oath
Wandering soul mate can't afford a troubling  both 
But has forgotten the lurking loath
Running behind them, are many a troth

Premium Member The Conversation Between the Catcher and the Pitcher

Diving for the ball,
Balling into a dust-
Orange roll,
The catcher tossed it back to the pitcher
After a ball three, and walked up to him.
The descent of the night's sky 
Made the ballfield lights a sudden relevance.
The catcher's cleats hit the ascending tip
of the diamond. He threw back his mask:

"You got this."
"I know I got this."
"Just throw how you normally throw."
"I know. I will. I know."
"You know what to do. Let's do this."
"I got this. I got this."
Then something was said 
From the catcher to the pitcher
Not even the poet's ears were privy to.

Anyway,
Catcher ran back
Behind the diamond 
And squatted, throwing out 
His target glove with a deft pause
So not to tip the batter off.

The next pitch was a swinging strike
High up in the zone.
The pitch after that was a home run
Caught by a nun
Out on Yawkey Way.

Oh well, there's always the next day.

By the way,
She blessed the ball
And gave it away.
