Voices

Voices

by June Ellen Smith

Tiny voices in the nighttime rhyming with
Tiny hands, expanding into bigger ones,
Sucking thumbs and fingers. Ringers on
A pole - horseshoes. Tie shoes for tiny feet.
Defeat the tiny voices in my head when
I...

Each poem’s a web that I hang (time-smoked adage
that swirls in the sky) and dream seasons rare eyes!
With no thought of entrapment or hope of ingesting,
rhyme longs more to bless you, verse whispers, “Hello.”
Heart’s a...

Reminding all the younger blokes “You’ve ‘gotta’ stay on guard,
For even decent broken horses have a spirit that is high,
And the months of lengthy grazing,...

A Journey To Zenith

Written: June 25, 2023

______________________________________________________________

We evolved toward the Zenith Ringers.
While no daylight is expected, I am thrilled.
With Banana Cakes, Cheez Whiz, and Zingers.
At Family Dollar's end, our hearts are tilled.

Maybe with Viagra or Valium to help...

You'Re My Hope, You'Re My Demise

Cold wind blows, Knowing no empathy,
Leaving none but the dead and hopeless,
Angel Angel from the sky,
Why do I feel, why did you die?
Angel angel are you noose-less?
Why do you cry "Oh Sympathy!"? 

Among the eyes...

Waiting as folks came out the door.
A small brass bell was held in his hand,
And a little red kettle beside him did stand.

Poets Are the Bell Ringers of the Soul

Most poets tell the truth of life 
Though they may wrap it in beauty.
It's their passion, not their purpose;
To compose is but their duty.

Poets as a rule are high on adventure
Like wondering bards or prophets...

Bang a Gong

Who the hell rings bells anymore
whether in a Capitalist society, a Theocracy, an Oligarchy,
or a Dictatorship

No ones home, the juries out
	G-d is dead?

You Light Up My Radar

There’s something inside me that knows when you’re nearby.
You cannot sneak up on me; it’s funny when you try.
There must be something in the air, a noise without a sound,
‘Cause you light up my radar...

And all the ho ho his of part time Santas
Doing time with Salvation Army bell ringers.

What's In a Name

What's in a name

I looked at my name
and I now must confide
I found so many things
that were waiting inside

I checked all the letters
for what there could be
And sat there amazed
by the stuff I did see

There’s...

the wild garlic grows in abundance there, and stridently smells
But the peace is shattered each Sunday by...

The Beauty

The beauty
Of
Namatjira
White haired
Bark painter's
Of fish
Wandjina
Feathered man
Full sunset
Corroboree
Pintubi
Dancers
In watercourse 
Colours
Of hills
And rangers
Near Henbury
Or was it
Kings canyon
South
Alice springs
Dome like peaks
Of Olga's
Stark landscape
Barren
Barkly
Near Soudan
Where
Dust storms
A common hazard
The faces
Of William Richetts
In the Maelstrom
Those colours
Of time
And day
House Wife's
Bushman
Children of the

Ran from Charleville to Quilpie
Made it every day the same

It was the Daily Mail Train
With a carriage at the back
Taking Ringers and Bush workers

Less Than a Penny

There are a few things
For under a nickel;
Like a lone Chicklet,
Or a sliced pickle.

How ‘bout a smile, a hug,
Most kinds of bugs.
Read a book, write a letter;
Do you need something better?

Blow your nose, scratch your...

Social Media is raving about my seafood haven.
Any ocean gift you wish is on my menu list.
It is known for chocolate bliss in any form that exists.
I should not dismiss other desserts that are hits.
