I May Be a Scaredy Cat, But

I am a real scaredy cat
and there's absolutely nothing that
I could do about that.

I'm scared of 'roaches
I'm scared of rats
I'm scared of spiders
and afraid of bats
I fear all arachnids
and I fear those gnats
Oh I fear all the kinds I find
of those creepy crawly brats! 
And but what can I do about that? 
Huh and who woudn't fear
a midnight rat-a-tat? 
So I've resigned myself to being
a lifelong scaredy cat.
Yeah and I'm scared of heights
Scared of noises at night
Gah, I'm really quick to fright! 
I'm scared of grasshoppers and even of dogs
Gosh there's hardly a thing that I ain't scared of.
But I admit I am a timid tigress
otherwise I'm a harmless human who don't hurt a fly
Normally just a normal lady, a humble poetess
I attack only when provoked to the limits
so as I'm a cat after all
I do show my tiger claws if the situation demands
or else I don't mind chickening out 
of aggressive and foolhardy involvements.
And maybe if everybody was a coward like me
they wouldn't hurt each other with sheer brutality.
I guess for ladies it's not so bad to be
a bit more cowardly
In any case that's far better than being
a ruffian who's dastardly! 
And oh, lastly but not the least
ah yes, I also greatly fear
any lustful male leer
I'd rather I'm invisible to their view
So I really find huge refuge
in the dear divine idea that exhorts me to
to drape and wrap myself from top to toe
in flowing garbs when I step outdoors
and that veiling attire does make me brave
as I feel vulnerable no more
and that's when I feel the transformation from lil kitty
into the big cats
from scaredy cat to formidable tigress
and that's when for once there's NOTHING I fear anymore!  :)    
as I go out veiled in soft armour from top to toe.
And I feel I can face the chauvinistic foe

Premium Member Anne the Cpr Dummy Had An Origin

She drowned in the late eighteen hundreds
Alone but happy because her horrible life was finally over
She had been chattel at the hand of a ruffian.
A rogue her parents married her to.
She was glad to be gone.
It was not a good life

"Hey! Isn't that your face?" It was her friend, Angel Mama.
She looked back to earth in the viewing room.
It was her face, on a dummy of some sort.
She was shocked! "It was my earth face," she said.
They call you "Anne," Angel Mama said.
Her full earth name had been AnneMarie.
But her beloved Grandma Belle had always called her Anne.

She smiled. "What do they do with it?" She asked, frightened a bit.
"She saves lives," another voice said.
"She teaches people CPR, a way of saving people who are
drowning or choking."
What? Anne was shocked. Happy that her earth face was happy.
It was the first time she thought she almost saw it smile.
That face had not smiled in a long time.
The dummy looked so proud of itself!

Solid Impressions: Iv

(for: ’niyi osundare)

the goldness of those eyes,
like the eye of the earth –
beaming, mirrors the secret softness
hidden by the ash-like depths of our souls!

many of them, brother, so learned;
 o! carrying shrines of empty superiority,
as they coaxed the lads
to believe the new deities of half-truths,
and bring sweet-smelling oblations
to each black prof who looks and speaks at us;
’niyi, my brother, you know these well!

yet, when we saw your inner complexion,
we knew it well:
we, the celebrate sons born at the niger’s banks,
you’re a prof: a black prof: a twin of us!

the preciousness of those sharp eyes,
the ever-ruminant seed of that heart
which almost marked your pen, a ruffian!
are these the ingredients
in those soup of our radical celibacy?
your presence like other presences
in our village:
spoke tranquility and hopefulness
to a village full of raw anxieties!
then you twinkled away from us
not forever, no, but for a while!

brother, while our eyes, almost in cessions,
are down-turned in supplications
to the brightest eye of the earth;
our ears in remembrance with our eyes
seeing the sacred lips gaping in admonitions:
‘whenever the muse in ferocity comes:
then strike the pen as a hunter in his primes!’

yes! when we heard this lexicon,
we knew it well:
we, the sad sons suffering at the ant-hills,
you’re a prof: a black prof: a twin of us!

Premium Member Suspended In Animation

don’t call him a baby...
don’t make fun of his tears...
his soul’s tender —
he runs and hides,
under a chromatic beanbag
with a dark emotional spectrum.

when he returns to play Sleeping Queens,* he
sniffles, wipes tears on his sleeve (and yours)
“You hurt my feelings.”

you find yourself not unlike the Road Runner**
sailing off a cliff —
suspended in animation.

the reward of leaning in,
hearing what this little soul has to say,
realizing your fool mistake,
this time taking the time
to explain what his limited mind
can take,
then you hug the stuffings
out of the little ruffian*** 
but only if you can catch him.

Premium Member Love Or Hate Minichu

I love the koalas, and hate what the forest fires have done to them.
Adoring seals is easy, but the butchering of them makes me feel dim.
Seems to be a yin to every yang, have you noticed that my friend?
When will this love hate relationship come to an end?

The ocean is lovely in so many ways, and I appreciate the view.
Until a sea monster comes up and swallows my boat, and me too.
The day is beautiful a few hours before a horrible storm, but then.
The sky gets dark, and the air gets loud, blustery and incredibly thin.

There seems to be a love and a hate in almost everything we do.
I love to teach, but tackling the vast paperwork is long overdue.
It irritates me and scrapes my brain cells over in a terrifying way.
I procrastinate doing it until ten o’clock at night, every Sunday.

I love my cousin, but she is vocal, verbal, nasty and mean voter of one.
About her political candidate. A ruffian who is as corrupt as they come.
Like joy of her company, if she stays away from politics, she is a delight.
She seems determined to bring up this idiot, and it simply is not right!

Premium Member SECRET NIGHT

As a young wife with young faith, I innocently shared –
cared and loved husband as my naivety best declared.
Then his true, young-self broke, I groped and we choked.
Now, lost and unsure, my soul is searching for stroke.

Amidst club music and noise, I saw you seeing me;
a man so beautiful, perfecting my perfection fantasy. 
Your smooth approach ruffled my prim poise,
your man-boy grin did me in, hinting sensuous joys.

I completely lost my grip staring at your sculptured lips.
Your amber eyes, long dark hair and lush eyelashes
gave me intense, lust filled, intoxicating flashes.
Yes, take me, please, to privacy if your perception matches.

I don’t care where you go to church, if you hail from the north or south.
I don’t need to know how you get by, if you’re a tinker, ruffian or spy.
I just want our souls to fly as we escape convention, eye to eye,
and, united, leave life’s real cries to flee high on swelling sighs.

Let’s not talk of life’s mysteries or share our histories,
but let us own the now, take it for you and me somehow.
In the morning, disappear, but tonight stay intimately near.
My heart won’t let you in, but soul yielding coats my skin.

This night shall be the one secret in my life’s pocket.
From time to time, when alone, I shall tenderly unlock it
and revisit senses felt this night, a soul memory gift
where in private, I can relive our young escape lift.

Premium Member Heathcote Dares To Offer a Solution

Privately Peony practiced the art of purple magic
Reaching into her ruffian wand,
Lingering lovingly for a second or two
Outrageous? Sure. Ostentatious? She hoped so!

Further down in the feathery contraption
Under a peacock’s underlying ribbon of worth
Bringing a bright bubble of blue into the air
Ruffian wand wrote ridiculous on her forehead

No one had dared do that in Nam City
Kindnesses of knights would have nixed this
Coneflower her creative sister tried to explain
Antagonizing Peony in the process

Heathcote heard and had his hardy opinions
Look said Lavender, stay out of it!
Simmering softly, Heathcote wrote to Peony
Guess what? She grabbed his idea up!

No one else helped me north or south!
I appreciate your ideas, Heathcote.
Oh sure! Said Coneflower, take that ogre’s ideas.
They were enemies, she and that Neanderthal.
