Long Last straw Poems

Open up your mind and your heart for a change

Heads up! Don’t slouch down
Lift your head from...

Oh, For The Simpler Times
Y2K is coming
Written: by  Tom Wright
2000 

I eagerly watch,
as darkness gives way to dawn;
as preening birds
begin to stir.
I sip hot coffee, 
stretch and yawn,
and lament that things
aren't as they were.

It started with a single slap

Back then during courtship

And I vowed I was going to leave him

He begged so much it became embarrassing

The one person that I wanted to see

Restless soccer moms,
whose kittens have all become mature,
got plenty of suburban boredom
Time enough for sure
to get hooked on every advertised lure
As daytime soaps and gossip kitsch
are the mundane, daily double feature
So they buy themselves some...

Cheers to the last straw! 
You drew it and smashed it.
You broke it and slashed it.

This is the final goodbye to...

Hi how you doing
I’m doing fine, how about you
I’m okay, well I’m not really
Go on tell me about it, that’s what us ex’s are for.

And the tide of time kept lashing her like a whip,
As the deaf walls echoed them back,
Causing her sweet sad memories to play in flashback.

Walk home alone in the rain
As the flutter of my heaving heart
Loudly beat against the window pane

I push back the growing numbness
Oh but how I grieve, I grieve
That no...

It was almost at the middle of my teen-age days,
When mind, like a horse without bridle, found rough ways;
Inner laissez-faire, like snake in dilapidated crack, set in,
Legs, the way they found, aimlessly, anywhere broke-in;
Parents and...

That is what they made us believe 
However they acted different 
Responded with greed

He laid out the rules
For all of us to read
Pretending to us 
That he will do good deeds

Sometimes, I doubt those words & I wonder

But I couldn't find hope anywhere here
Every time I approached her, she flapped...

I'm surrounded by heartache 
one more straw till my back breaks

Pistol Pete is Peaceful Peter now,
Married life has altered him, and how.
He used to be a honky tonker
Always spoiling for a fight,
Now he's always home with Mama
And in bed by nine each night.

Then how would I truly feel?
If I were you,
How would I view life in general?

Would I have a heart of steel?
If I were you,
Would I still be a boy...

Uprooted and windswept in the storm you caused
I was aghast and asunder like a sinking boat
the last straw was placed and I drowned
it was your slight that I simply could not fight
you tossed your royal,...
