Premium Member Summers End

SUMMER’S END

staying cool, in the pool,
where children are cruel,
on a very hot day—
Summer’s officially over.

from submarine fool,
fishy bubbling school,
plenipotentiary fuel—
a payload parade.

when the ping-pong jewels
surface - whirlpool
of fleeing ridicule.
afraid of riveting stool—
a flotsam snicker’s bar.

The worst part is the noise—
that awful fartastic that destroys
the floats, duckies, other toys.
it lasts and lasts…

it’s a spastic stinker,
a ferocious clinker —
it channels the sulfur pits of
Turkmenistan’s door to hell.

officially over,
the pool in deep cover—
no one hovers
near
the episodic rear of Summer.

Premium Member Backspace

I already understand that children  
grow inside two blinks,
as quickly as the novel Mayfly
comes to the surface to die. 

I'm pining for those first days again, 
of edentate smiles, milestones  
to fund future independence.  

Pineapple-sized hearts I cradled;
lulled, exchanged dank nappies for dry; 
ferried on uncrossed seas, 
your armada.  

Smoothed rough waters as if by divine speech  
because mothers can. I was thinking that I could always be your oxygen.  
I let you walk through me, under, right over.  

The rocking horse
brought for my bromelain angels 
winged you away - 
this blasted Pegasus ...
I miss you now.
How you rode away, 
ephemera of innocence!

So, what then?
Me, fumbling wild in the backspace you left.
Your flabbergasting key smash to freedom   
broke our finespun home, you left 
me to talk to your father, Child,
to renegotiate  
the bonds;  

reconstruct ancient code, 
deleted excess text - 
obfuscating precision and knowing -  
the tribal tongue of lovers  

unlearned, forgotten;
escaped alongside discarded baby bath suds,
strewn puddles of rubber duckies, 
tired breasts suckled  
by fresh management.

drops of moon beams into the night
harvest of fields turning ripe
sunshine smiling in warm delight
makes my world yellow

banana pudding and lemon pie
piles of leaves reaching the sky
fears we keep hidden inside
makes my world yellow

baby chicks and rubber duckies
school bus home feeling lucky
eating squash that taste yucky
makes my world yellow

mustard butter and lots of cheese
yellow light slow down please
rain coats so you won't sneeze
makes my world yellow

number two pencils and doing number one
eating corn on the cob is so much fun
golden honey on my yeast bun
makes my world yellow

Premium Member Puppies Swim With Guppies-

Nothing but puppies;
Swam with the guppies;
Hang out cause their buddies, 
When they get out of the pool yukky
Smelly are the fur biddies, 
And those floppies, kitties,putties, putty, puffy, bunnies, 
Eaten all the yuppy gummies, 
While those piggies huskies  tummy’s are muddy
Biddies,  buddy, buggies,  bunny, butties, copies,cubbies, cuppy, druggies, Duckies,  fluffy, funny, fuzzy,
Guppies, hungry for honey, 
hubbies, huggies, huskies,  lovelies, lucky, lumpy, money, monies, muddy, mummies, nappies,piggies, pities,  puppy
Swam with the guppies;
Hang out cause their buddies, 
Nothing but puppies;

Dog In a Purse

 Dog In A Purse


  I have the very best pet, the absolute very, very best
    There is  no comparison he is better than the rest
      Funny story how we met one hot day way out west
        He was handed to me in a Prada Purse I must confess
          I first thought him a pest but he quickly passed my test
            He won me over in 2 seconds or less, oh but his name is a mess...

  We named him Prada you see, yah after the purse, so you get it
    He is a stud, definitely, all male but his name, yah I regret it
      So I call him Pra-Dawg instead of Prada because of my own ego
        Yep, uh-huh, he is a Chihuahua but not like any other that you know
          He is happy go lucky, loves rubber duckies, isn't nervous and won't relent
            He barks at big dogs at the fence, the backyard Prince, he's never tense...

  He fetches the ball bringing it back to you, dropping it every time right at your shoe
    He has this cute overbite when he chews, and loves to watch the evening news
      He is lightening fast but not furious, flying around and so damn curious
        He listens, obeys, won't run away, or worry us, he is really just super flus 
          No matter what he never goes potty inside, not even once has he tried
            I am his Master, he is my guide, always and forever Pra-Dawg by my side...




                                                                 02/26/2016
