Long Chitchat Poems

Michael and Carolyn came home again
Their busy lives disrupted by death's end
Not knowing they'd encounter love unrestrained
By coming home for mom's funeral to attend
Life has some changes for which to contend
Michael and Carolyn were shocked...

WHEN TEARS TOUCH II

Sitting lax,
Speakers on ears:

"(You should know better)
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(You should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(You should know better)...

...I'll stop the world and melt...

Another dark warm day with an heavy atmosphere/Humid
Not into dark days and my washing machine is noisily killing me, 
Coffee the life hike up
The always nice counter persons/English, Spanish, Portuguese/I always try to focus on...

Speakers on ears:

You've seen...

Magic really does exist! Who could ever doubt its power
after reading the tale of Merlin, locked in the castle tower?
As a smoky colored feline that the cruel king didn't like,
he was chased by the Royal...

I had a girlfriend during my youth service,
She was then in love but still a novice,
After service, she was called to the bar,
Not long after she relocated to her town, Calabar.

I stayed back in Sokoto...

I come in my house one day
Just got home from getting groceries
You can always get the good deals on Mondays
And I’m talking to one of my girlfriends who is shopping too
We chitchat of everything while...

Mavis and Gladys from Eskimo Street
Were having a good old blether 
When the doors of the food bank opened
And everyone pushed in together
Mavis fancied some powdered mash
And Gladys a tin of beans
They didn’t want to...

So you don't have to be ashamed

I Will Smile

I smile, to dispense out the rage in my soggy heart!
Most folks smile, if they're dwelling in cloud nine.
I will smile, when I get that kiss from my child hood crush,
Like Bow Wow...

Beyond speech
Before the words
Even leave your lips
Thinking about thinking
Looking at your thoughts
I see the building blocks 
Of your breaking down
It's noisy sound image
An abstract tree growing concepts
In a forest needing life

* Simeon wages its demise...

Since it’s such a nice and beautiful day 
why not become a piece of cloud myself
or a stream of water, and go.

If it happens to be a cloud,
looking down a side of a mountain floating...

Day after day I sit, poised deep in thought and contemplation
while tourists stop and stare at me with eyes of admiration
Sometimes they seem hypnotized, looking without blinking
I wonder what they would think if they knew...

MISSING YOU


I lay awake at night,
Thinking about the day that you went home.
Nothing seems to be right,
I wish they had been some sign for me to have known.

Dad I miss you so much,
When I needed...

Click, click mouse! 
Chitchat, nice!
Mouths shut tide hearts speak their minds
Congestion on the information superhighway
It’s a hard drive for my megabytes to 
Entre
To feed my cybertronic ego 
The fuel for my search engine
Entre

Poets, you've been expressing your opinions on politics
Some were very nasty, like oil and water, they don't mix
Some 'discussions' have gotten rude and very hostile
It's truthful facts vs. fictional lies,  all spewed with bile

Once a week I get a great massage.
Strong respectful and manly hands
Rub neck intensely and all ends
While I dream of some picture collage.

We chitchat loads while he is at work. 
I'm attentive or half asleep,

Contrapuntal Poem Form Attempt 1

Pat's "New" Hat

A short disagreement
“I’ve no time for your senseless chitchat”
Nodding horizontal heads were sent
“Explain yourself you dirty rat”
Out of shape we both were bent
“Best of luck against my baseball bat”
Waiting...

A town in Spain had had enough
With dog poop in the parks.
The owners would be punished
For their pets who left their marks.

So volunteers with eagle eyes
Approached offending walkers,
Without revealing that they worked
As pooper-scooper stalkers.

With friendly...
