Long Four by two Poems

Let the crazy, busy, and sunny day begin and I welcome the sun

You’re a lot of fun 
Let’s run...

Don’t you ever feel like your worthless?
Will I ever find some sort of cure?

He loved to rattle the chain
It was a sound of pure defiance
that echoed across the lush plantation terrain

He seethed silently
as the lashes dug deep...

A cacophony of cheers
Sand sprays like fireworks
From feet, hands, ball, hair.
Four women, two-a-side,
In a battle for the ages.

Good little workers pick up sticks
five four three two
Dear little baby, the next one is you

Eat your bread
Go to bed
The clock strikes ten
Again & again

Man, ye want more than thy fair valid need, 
Ye corner every craven mundane toy, 
Coveting vulture-like that grabs with greed, 
Indulging more, way far less to enjoy, 
Chasing false leads to squirrel more and...

a bee
invaded our car in
nineteen fifty four
while we were driving
to the jersey shore
flew in my open back window

Too hard to balance my calendar 
When I just need some time to myself, take a breath and eat lunch

And the other there
And then...

a note of elegy on her pretty lips,
She paint off her sorrow with a

Each morning she wakes in front of 
the mirror and her...

Hands touch, accidentally
Short, deep glances by me, as she looks the other away
Be sure not to get caught
Although I expect she’s doing the same
We can’t do this, can we?
No-one will know, no-one gets hurt, isn’t...

dusk was in moments and she was ready;
her big snowshoe feet made her steps steady,
her eyes saw a rabbit and she crept forward low.

She had mated...

Count down begins
With loud music on
Dance to the rhythms
Beat on the drums.
Music is on,
Let's hum for a while
Count down begins my dear ones.

Tick, tock, tick, tock
Four, three, two,
There goes...

and make it quick before I sneeze’,
asked the Doctor, if you will,
as he was almost always ill.
