I sit with him; in the night we hear
eerie boardwalk creaks near the white sand beach.
I ask if he recalls our neighbors when
they told me of the psycho cat’s demise.
“What psycho cat?” he asks. I am in shock
he seems to have no memory of when
our neighbor’s tabby used to howl all night
and how that cat in their back yard showed up -
a carcass with a rope around its neck.
Meanwhile, we’re eating cheese. Before he has
the chance to ask what brand of cheese it is,
the label I hide on the wine bottle.
I'd realized too late he does not like
the certain brand of cheese I’d packed for this -
our midnight picnic, so while he moans on
about the virus and then tells me his
sabbatical dreams after quarantine,
I have nervously torn the label off
the cheese. I mean, why would he ever think
to be looking for it on the bottle?
He’s grown drunk on the wine, and suddenly
he’s getting crazy and examining
the cheese package. He yells, “Where’s the label?
Did you just feed crap cheddar cheese to me?”
He looks all around, on the ground . . . and then
he spies the empty bottle. Oh, my gosh!
He sees the cheese label I put on it.
“Blast it, woman; you know I hate that brand!”
Cabin fever we have been enduring
throughout this dreadful year 2020 -
I feel his big strong hands around my throat.
His eyes bulge as he tries to strangle me.
Before I lose consciousness, I’m thinking . . .
so now I know who killed our neighbor's cat!

I didn't expect to see God showing me,
To remind me of what I already knew indefinitely,
The emotions become overwhelming and try to stand in the way,
But then again I knew God intentionally built me this way,
For without that part of me how could I ever feel?
It's ingrained in my spirit, it's part of the heal,
It's like walking on a tightrope trying to keep your balance,
To over feel or under feel in a world so unbalanced,
While you're walking on the rope, you focus on the other side,
While also focusing taking each step carefully on a straight line,
You cannot focus on one more than the other,
Because it's a package deal it all comes together,
So as many times as you fall you get back up again,
With breaks in between while you study the path,
To the texture of the rope, and the type of shoes you must wear,
To the weight of the layers of clothing, to the height you're in the air,
You go back and get back up again, you remember the other side,
And know the love you're living for, the love that saves your life.
Neither family nor scant friends twill mourn
severance outlook linkedin inextricably forlorn
accursed psychological agony since I got born
incessantly pilloried courtesy bullies hood scorn,
yours truly convenient scapegoat raked over hot coals
preferable versus insidious,
malicious, nefarious, opprobrious
querulous, ridiculous, salacious...
suffering post traumatic stress disorder wartorn
invisible battle scars branded me, yet well worn
shell shocked comfortably numbed skull
(just another brick in the wall)
jimmied heavily inebriated distilled, cracked corn
trumpet silenced (think) muted horn.
Anger at self wells up
regarding passive stance (mine)
convenient akin to jellyfish,
and/or crustaceans without spine
essentially a dorky nerdy wimpy kid
i.e. faulty genetic design
unsure if attributable to Capricorn zodiac sign
essentially allowed, enabled and provided
easy excellent access akin to scavengers to dine
bitter draughts synonymous quaffing quinine
bobble headed, I
meekly, grudgingly, admittedly opine
figuratively forced down gullet - nein
letup liberally heaped upon
courtesy 20/20 hindsight, a tangential pact
with Sue S. Side, promising starvation diet
package deal plus absent I, cant see
(now a tan - gent) unwittingly did cosign.
Interested, I approach slowly with these incited thoughts;
Lately, she torments my daydreams, stimulating such excited thoughts.
Tonight could be a good night, we may grow collectively.
A benefits package for me? she leaves me with these ignited thoughts.
No quarrels with the time I get in, how I dress, how I look with this afro. I'm
Straying, I'm embracing another. This morning I left her with unrequited thoughts.
This secret affair, my benefits package best kept protected, on the down-low.
We developed slow. Enemies turned lovers can be such a delighted thought.
I sought, thought I found love, that bought heartache. I strayed because I'm
Miserable most days, dark and gloomy. She is my escape from these blighted thoughts.

If there should be a pot hole as deep as Satan’s pit
appearing as I’m driving, I’d run right over it!
My husband’s luck is worse than mine, but we’re a package deal.
So every bad thing that befalls him, I can also feel!
One day I lost my best cat ever; needing a new pet,
I looked and looked to find a cat, the best that I could get.
One person getting desperate with no new owner found
was feeling sad he’d have to take his poor cat to the pound.
His cat , though not a lap cat, was pretty, sleek and black.
The guy was leaving town; there’d be no way to give her back!
I like to look to numbers for the logic that they show.
Two negatives makes positive; that’s one true fact I know!
So if a person has bad luck, it stands to reason that
perhaps his bad luck could reverse by having a black cat!!
I got that cat! She loudly purrs, which I find comforting
It’s like my mom is right nearby with lullabies to sing.
The cat’s my charm when in my arms; my luck has turned around,
for she’s become the second best of cats I ever found!
So if with many problems you’re always getting stuck,
just get yourself a big black cat to cancel out bad luck!
For the Create an Idiom Contest of Jesse Day
(For those who don't know about this contest, the title is an idiom I made up for this poem)
A tub is filling up with bubbles
A warm bath-- forgetting troubles
Lit up candles--glass of wine
Helping you to feel fine
Chocolate candies and ice cream
Part of your feel better team
A nice tune or happy movie
Starts to make you feel groovy
A friends shoulder to lean on
And your sadness will be gone
A care package and loving letter
Mail surprise-- there's nothing better
Sometimes when you feel down
Just take a quick look around
And the smallest things you see
Turns a bad day to happy
There's no need to spend a lot
Just realize what you have got
Items used this cleverly
Will keep your mind and heart happy
The turkey's on
Old man Johnson's farm
All wised up this year
Logging on
To Amazon
About mid November
With Halloween out of the way
They were bound to save
On the items they would need
Which worked out great
Cause all they could afford to pay
Was in scratched up chicken feed
The pigs helped in
The ordering
As it's a well known fact
That being turkey's
They're always in a hurry
And ain't nobody got time for that
They saved up extra seed
For quick delivery
When you're on the cliffs edge dancing
Coming down to it
This being life or death
There's no need to take chances
In the nick of time
The package arrived
On the day required
The fateful day
Known to our hero's as shake and bake
November 23rd
On that morning when
Old man Johnson then
With ax in hand stepped outside
Where he tried to think
Had he ever seen
So many cows in his life
In between the moo's
He heard a gobble or two
Which in itself is very strange
Plus the Amazon bill
For umpteenth costume cows
He just can't quite explain
"Mama" is usually
the first word we learn to say
the love and bond that is formed
long before our first day
Moms teach us how to speak,
and to do what wrong or right
they lovingly watch over us through
the days and through the nights
we kids test and try them
sometimes to their very last nerve
we give them grief and worry
far more than they ever deserve
we all grow and learn
in the best way that we can
as we all grow up to be
a woman or a man
as we all grow older
our mommas do too
getting grey hair and wrinkles
a bit slower in what they do
what does a child do when
Momma's health is fading fast
knowing that this day
just might be their last
then the fateful day comes
and you hear that shes gone
92 years here
is really not all that long
now i feel so lost and
i dont know what to do
she wasnt only my momma
but she was my best friend too
so now we all get together
just to say our goodbyes
holding and hugging each other
all with tears in our eyes
we'll speak of old memories
both the good and the bad
we all will tell our stories
of the advertures that we had
even the little ones
will have a tale or story
about how much fun they had
baking with their Grandma Dori
She has seen so much
over the years of her life
being a wonderful mom, a great friend
and a loving wife
she came in a small package but
you wouldnt want to make her mad
all it would take to stop us kids was
that look that warning look she had
her heart was so big
she was full of so much love
i would sometimes wonder if
she was an angel from above
with heartbreak and sorrow
today we all will part
all of us carrying
a hole in our heart
her passing has saddened
all that she touched
all of us loving her
oh so very much
I don't know how we'll go on
but we'll have to find a way
for i know we'll see her again
in Heaven, above one day
