Long Defrosting Poems

Rum felt a chill which he couldn’t explain
Had mum left the freezer door open again?
He went to the kitchen and muttered, “Aha!”
The freezer door was just a little ajar

Inquisitive kittens, as everyone knows
Would not simply...

Like the morning ice on your car, unable to see out the window
In retrospect to who you are through the Savior that you know
It is as though you are blind unable to see anything around...

When life parades a fine line 
between alienation and rationality,
internal intruders of the soul shroud spotlights.

In my dreams 
I'm playing charades with the grim reaper.
surrounded by selfish acts from satanic spirits.
Featherless angels of twilight need...

"Bonjour, in the cocktail woods"
I see the waffled leaves of teal trees painting pink moon, 
With diamond dahlia arcs, flowering an orchid boon
Sprinkling love of french perfumed spells and cocoa mystique,
Flickering in neon scented star...

My mum was given a cat
Who had apparently lived wild
Told she had a few issues
Supposedly mild …

So this beautiful fluffy grey cat
With eyes of emerald green
Resided with my husband and l
New member of our family...

under the pines we  dug deep down
to find our way to Shadow Town
the taste of fear was on my tongue
I tried to sing the song we sung
when slipping through the mystery 
wood
last winter when...

Winter approaches with a soft, light step
A simple breezy chill swallowing your mind
With eyelashes frosty and limbs bundled up
A home with flames dancing in the corner
Silken bed inviting you to a long winter’s nap
But where...

No snow this year oh where could it be,
It’s been raining and hailing no white for the tree.
The grass is turning green,
The flowers are growing,
It’s almost Christmas and still it’s not snowing.
The birds are chirping...

To budding new poets who value your time
The very best option for you may be rhyme
Though simple by nature a rhyme says a lot
Like words on a cake that your mother has bought

For rhyme is...

Cold starting the car on a crisp autumn morning
my Dad wasn't the happiest bloke,
put antifreeze in it, ran the engine, ten minutes
and then he could pull out the choke.
On his pale blue Austin the locks...

Crisp…Crisp the night!
‘Pon cheeks as white as snow
Crazy quilt of rimed patterns
Limned upon the window

Soft…soft the lacy flakes!
Each one unique and new
Blanket o’er land and lakes
Winter’s take on dew

Games…games of Fox and Hound!
Pristine drifts of...

I awake from deep slumber
Need something to eat
Stick my nose out of the burrow
Whats that, that i see

Its March for goodness  sake
Should be a warm sun
Not this white stuff
Where the heck has this come

Feet follows...

The winter is sagging in strength
And wary is becoming the graveyard
Of its inhabitants, lying in their tombs,
As they seem to stretch themselves
Up from their wintery drowsiness
To embrace the signs of life
Defrosting leisurely from the fatigue...

Defrosting the Freezer Compartment

Older people, the job surely don’t miss

A freezer compartment filled with frost

Twisting in to glimpse your chest undulating,
(Mine surges with your ear to my ribs)
A letter framed between fruit, caught the street light
Glitters gold and orange, blurred in the rain windshield;

My fingers run the road on...

I've been pushed past the point where I'm willing to cry
No longer having the energy to fly
Always looking into the enemies eyes
Rage enough to light up the sky

Heart turning dark no love for the enemy

Quiet despair
getting up
 Sitting down,
We are leaving tomorrow
open a bottle of beer
It ain`t cold
The fridge is defrosting
I`m old.
Have lived for 30 years
Am I excepted?
 to be joyful?
Big flat 
 wooden flooring
