Long Like a sore thumb Poems

Once pawn a time...

About four plus weeks after
frazzling fiasco from friggin fraudsters
white knight still mourns swindled money
Lynne Costello Senior Civil Investigator
(assistant to Philadelphia attorney general)
unable to recoup forfeited funds.

While holed up in castle keep,
(albeit fetchodit...

So, you think that I am weak
Oh no, you let spill the doubt leak
Times like these look...

........Cactus
....Water Towers
Isolated desolates
Wrapped in spikes
Fluted aqua Greys
Or in military green
Reaching the skies
The desolate cacti 
The desert fingers 
Withholding blaze..
Desicating breeze..........
.Blistering freeze..................
Where not a blade....................
Nothin' germinate......................
Them root in dust.....................
Wasteland, gravel.....................
The fluted barrels......................
They shrink in dry......................
Bellow up...

Refrain :

Yesterday when I was dumb
I couldn't tell a song...

My Name Is

I am the reason people
Lie to one another
Hatred, jealous, and envy
Toward their brother
I will make you cry
Don’t care how you feel
And if you are not careful
Your very life I will steal
My name is...

Oh how unlucky can a boy be
Not to have one sister but three
I was always the one who got the blame
And had to hang my head in shame
For everything 
They could do no wrong
And how...

he doesn’t stick out because in a warm climate,

sometimes they even go shirtless

I have learned;
 that crap does occur.
   I have learned;
 that there is a his and a hers.

 that sometimes love is not enough,

I am a body like a trojan horse
and here i hold more than one soul

Getting ready to go to the big school
Was such a worrying thing
I heard grim tales of bullies
The teachers and the cane
And when I saw the savages
Get of the bus and fight
The worry almost drove me...

Now I know you met with Sarah and she got in your head
and I guess your bitter brother egged belief what she said
cus he was born a bitter bugger always hating upset

I don't fit into your circle, I didn't want to try out for your band,
Because I would rather not be labeled, I hope you understand,
I didn't want all that extra attention,
All I wanted was a...

I'm my day the Army
Was very frugal with our kit.
Whenever possible if seemed
They recycled every bit.
My Greatcoat had certainly 
Been around for a while;
It was of a different cloth
And of a  different style.

With it...

Sat alone and stark on a brown chair, 
Not even knowing what to do with, 
Simon and Garfunkel’s I Am A Rock, 
Just an isolated island heavy as death. 

I didn’t even want to be...

Live 
 
well endowed.
 
Stand up,
 
Be proud,
 
like you're floating
 
on a cloud.
 
When you whisper,
 
hush,
 
but whisper loud.
 
Stand out 
 
like a sore thumb
 
in a crowd.

You hold my life by the strings
You control me with those wooden planks
You think you're the almighty God
That gives lives meaning
By making and controlling their destinies

But you've tugged me left and right
Controlled my life in...

TERMINATION

I never imagined that I’d be back at school
Retired from work, yet I’m no longer a kid
But all modern media has caught me out
That flicking and tapping makes me pout
For all the wrong reasons I’m...

 Feeling numb
Succumbing 
To this dumb
Feeling...overcoming…
The waves of emotions, 
Intruding you and I
We are like aquatic oceans…
We choose to live or die

Feeling numb
I am this worthless crumb…
I’m sorry I disappointed you so
I’m sorry in advance...

I see it everyday
I walk by the same plant
Sitting on the kitchen table
Never really giving it much thought

But today as I was eating take-out
With that little plant sitting right there in front of me
I began...

Coal face 
disgrace 

Bad vibes 
from tribes

Dark art
at heart

Big deal
surreal

Uptight 
yeah right 

Sky high

Who knew 
boohoo 

My god 
that’s odd

not half 
a laugh

High five 
alive 

Stock phrase 
daft craze 

Buzz word 
absurd

SOPHIA’S POEM


Cheerios across the floor
Pen marks on the walls
Paint on my new carpet
I can’t take it all!

Books touched by jammy fingers
Chocolate on my cat
Boogies on my sofa
Who could live like that?

Bedtime’s like a war zone
Toothache,...

I have been 
A shut in and shut out
Kicked in and kicked out
Strung up and strung out
Sore thumb that's stuck out
I'm not a saint or girl scout 
But I've cut ink and bled out

Readers acknowledge first lines as vital
Nothing grabs attention like a snappy title
People dislike poems that do not rhyme
Criticizing writers for committing a “crime”
How I hate being hated for being me
Now I see, for I, is...

It looks almost full or half empty.
A pregnant bulge
something firmer than a sandwich
less firm than a brick.
A dirty diaper?
Something worse?

Once I found a dead parakeet
wrapped in a discarded paper bag,
when I dropped it in disgust
