Long Bendy Poems

from island corner, big Antrim lad
  to Belfast city, a tiny pad
  shattered windows, tilted clocks
  Goliath had lost his socks
  gargantuan giant going mad

  Armagh apple girl, any topic

Silly Billy had no fear, he drowned it in a case of beer.
Handy Andie so adept, kept so busy, she never slept.
Dirty Donna did what you wanna, she lived just down the street.
You didn't have...

Bendy old whales taste like snails doing a backflip. But swarms of over eighty nine peonies are closely followed by nine bulls, an elephant tribe, a beetle colony and a party of laughing butterflies. Whose...

I feel enraged
Stuck in this cage
The Black dog beside me
The pushing down
My mask isn't working 
I manage to frown

When I'm out on a social.
I afix the mask it's a front
Most think that everything is fine
If...

Love is the essence.

Your presence is flavor.

I'll savor you "Now and Later."

Your sweetness is one,

of many candies,

not just good night pillow mint "Andes."
 
I'm a "sucker" for you,

like an "Everlasting Gobstopper," forever true.

Even if there's "Mounds"...

The other day while rummaging in a closet I was instantly overcome with joy
when I ran across our storage bins filled with our children’s once used toys.

Toys our children and grandchildren played with when they...

As it's the start of EDS Awareness month, this poem seemed appropriate to share

Ehlers-Danlos awareness - but what does it all mean?
A doctors diagnosis too often unseen
So many trips to the doc as the body...

Distant sounds of the whippoorwill
I'm just kidding, I don't write stuff like that
I just wanted to tell you the story
About the man with the funny hats

You remember the mad hatter?
That Alice in Wonderland guy?
Well, he...

I love the city of Coventry ‘cos it’s disability friendly, 
Since it houses Great Britain’s national disabled college, 
As Hereward resides there with insight, policies bendy, 
Towards its students who mainstream don’t admonish.

A ceramic plate is what you hold. 
A mold so strong with an empty slate to carry the weight
All problems will engrave designs on the plate
As you hold a ceramic plate. 

She carries a weak...

I heard today that the Earth is flat, tell me my friends what do we think of that,
have we been lied to for years and years, from the government, our country and most of our...

Is he absurd to appreciate the abnormal?
Is it admirable to accept her appreciative acrobatic antics?
He's a cool cat, she's his celestial canary caught.
A kept creature can be clearly quite costly.
Young Brandon builds her his best...

'Being me'  #EDS #chronicillness #Chiari #pain #fatigue

No rest in day, cant sleep at night
I've even lost my appetite 
No fix for me, no cure in sight 
No help towards my daily fight
The pain runs...

One day my little brother Chris asked our mom for a bendy straw,
He liked the way the way it bent towards him until I told him of a flaw.

My other two brothers backed me up...

The foxglove Summer has tripped away
I am farmed out far from home
Alone, with strange tongues

Winter slips quietly into 
The far corner of my comfort
While the Mouse size room sleeps

Night has stolen days short hours
Pulling at...

Manipulation



Doctrines, Orders, at times, Education
Aim to accomplish manipulation!!
Message permanently caged in store;
Is a hand working puppet from the core!!
You either learn to change your mind
Or learn to change your humankind!!
Civilisations that we blindly receive
Humanities will...

Engraved with harsh sound, each shackle's screech molested my eardrum,
   Its starry silver, sparked oblivious wham into my heart, shattered like shard,
Rigorously, premature sweat hopped down to my forested beard,
 Never! They can't...

A tree house built with love and care
Things are scattered everywhere
A tire swing hung on a chain
For getting dizzy and insane
A pool filled up with lots of toys
Water fun and happy joys
Flowers growing in a...

Years ago, the straws we used
Were paper ones, some striped.
Then plastic ones took over,
Since their sturdiness was hyped.

My grandkids love the bendy-types
In neon-colored hues,
Especially when from the box
Their favorites they can choose.

But it has been...

When did you get to be so old?
Jowls. You have Jowls, and a hair
on your chin.
Not fat, no, but plump,
Grannie padded, cuddly.
Laughter lines Or
World weary tracks of tears?

Aches. Knees, shoulders
All the not so bendy bits.

It was ridiculous 
Maniculous, fradiculous, arithmodus, calcrickulous.

A form of math I had never seen.
A counting in a way quite mean
Not algebra, not palgebra.
Something weirdly salgabra.

The newest new new math the teacher bragged
It was so slimey...
