Long Diva Poems

As I look back across more musical times

I’m lunching with my bestie Mylie
She’s upset and no longer smiley
I ask her what’s wrong

So I was feeling badly,
sad,
because I share our mutually complicit status
for my compatriot's difficult terrorizing

with the everyday affairs of men.
Love's only intention
is to catch the lover!

God wants nothing to do

In glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon hunger;
their dewy eyes blurred by the sawdust of stardust

We cannot continue to fail,
to fear,
to feel tired,
retired,
weary,
untreaded,
worn,
unpleasant,
numb.

When I try to sing this earnest prayer
with only my heady...

There are many pig-type stories,
Mostly told in piggy fables.
Most are cheerful little characters,
With "Happy Endings" in their labels.

Let's start with 'Porky Pig' cartoon,
S-s-s-stammering pig of Looney-Tune fame.
It's here I'll mention other pigs,
Because all pigs are...
