Let's SEE What's in the laundry hamper?

" One a soiled cloth diapers
a fierce icky stinkysocks
some noxious obnoxious unclean towels
horrid stinking under-shorts
unappetizing horrible awful grubby baby bibs 
Oh, my some mephitic nauseating obscene panties.
Musty nauseating odious under shirts
soiled squalid uncleanly pants and jeans
awful dirty filthy blouses and dresses


guess I’d better presoak and presort some of this mess???

Premium Member WIDE VARIETY



When it comes all the different aspects of my life…
Those things I hear, smell, touch, taste and see
like most people, I imagine…I love a wide variety…

I love a wide variety of food and drink
some good…some not so good for my heart.
I love a wide variety of sports…
A wide variety of music…a wide variety of art.

I love a wide variety of colors…
in the clothing that I choose
from the multicolored hats and shirts I wear…
to the rainbow laces in my shoes.

I love the wide variety nature offers…
from the diversity of her birds that fly
to the different shapes and color of her clouds
and the way she paints the sky.

I love the wide variety of her animals on the ground…
Her insects…from her butterflies to her bees.
I love the wide variety of her landscapes…
her flowers and her trees.

I love the wide variety of her seasons…
the way her spring and summer winds and zephyrs blow
from the silent whispers of her falling rain
to the gentle dancing of her snow…

I believe there are a wide variety of people 
in this world…people just like me
Who when they look at every aspect of their life…
delight in its vast and wide variety.

Who wish that love of nature, of art and music
our clothing and the different foods we eat 
Would spread out across the world
to the wide variety of people whom we meet.

My Princess

               MY PRINCESS ANN DOMINIQUE

                   She's my firstborn child.

                She's a sweet little darling, 
                   precious and adorable.

                      When she smiles,
     She keeps her mum's heart drifting by.

      Whilst she listened to her mum's real 
                classic humming lullabies.
         
                   How time flies so fast,
   As Mum's little princess is now a young lady.

         She's attractive, smart, motivated,
                      and determined. 
               She's focused and friendly.

  She's an ambitious lady who keeps on reaching
             Higher for her dream company.

  She loves to wear casual mini shorts and t-shirts
       And hates vanity as she's simply trendy.
                       
      She's a business lady with such integrity.

   She has a big heart with an authentic intention
                  for the people around her.

                          Despite this,
             She has good sales persuasion.
               The comments we heard were
                   highly complimentary.
        
                           Above all,
        Her priorities in life are Jesus and family.

Premium Member Twentynet-60's

Flower children
              colors galore
    summer concerts- screaming crowds
     warm beaches - California girls
               surfin boys
               music- noise

               long hair
              colored skirts
        sideburns long- shirts off
        blue jeans - bare feet
               people power
               world peace
swirling psychedelic colors- smoking magic mushrooms
     the power of love- world message
     entranced by the magical journey
musical bands- rock and roll hot
   crowds screaming- English invasion
     girls swooning- songs rockin'
               flower power
                sixties blast

Show Me

A bright light engulfs the room
and suddenly disappears
ushering a blazing essence 
that  abruptly evolves in the atmosphere,
buttons unlatched 
zippers break loose
shirts collapses over skirts
flesh dancing in flesh
flesh devouring flesh
and impatient breath 
whispering soft words in her ears.
Electrified
mesmerized
enraptured
emotions bathing in emotion
exotic moment intoxicated with fear.
listen carefully and tell me what you hear?
sounds thundering beyond steep mountains
doors hammering speechless voices 
debris flying high in the air,
but they lie there firing  on without fear.
Lights grow dim
and a mysterious sound chime in.
Pum  Pum  Pum
It must be the voice of an angel 
walking up and down his gigantic chest,
kindling a soft fire that rips aimlessly through their ears.
It captivates their emotion
and enflame their burning passion.
dancing and prancing 
skipping and dipping 
sliding and gliding
they went to the extreme.
Eyes fixed in a steadfast motion
calculating the mysterious sound
chest pressing against chest
chest pounding upon chest
spilling tears of joy all over her face.

Premium Member Goodwill Bargains

A springtime ritual at my house is to rid my closet of old clothes.

Including outdated suits, shirts, pants, shoes, all to dispose.

Goodwill appreciates my donations in their stores to display.

It warms my soul to see folks buying stuff who have little to pay.

A week or so later my wife and I were at a local cafe sipping our tea.
.
Said she, "That guy over there is wearin' a suit that looks familiar to me;

Ain't them the duds you donated to the Goodwill Store last week?"

That piqued my interest and I discreetly turned my head to peek.

"Yep, sure is" I retorted, "Same suit, tie, shoes and fedora lid!"

"I must say! He looks a helluva lot better in that git up than you did!"

Premium Member Old Men In Blue Jeans

Old men in blue jeans

Dungarees – that’s what they were called,
heavy, blue denim, metal button fly -
form that followed function.  The “cuffs” were
rolled up because inseam sizing and “pre-worn”
softened and frayed only occurred if you got
them from an older sibling.

Time has a way of softening things, Dungarees
included.  They shaped themselves to your needs,
became one with your movements, stayed with you
through the tough times, went to town with you,
wore the scars and tears of youth moving forward,
taught the lessons of toughness and tenderness,
of reliable, responsible, dependability.

The clothes did not make the man, the man gave
meaning to the clothes, imbued them with his ethic,
his love, his success and failures, stood with him
in  welcome rains and barren fields.  The jeans,
flannel shirts, boots, weathered face - caught
between an ever present grin and grimace -
awaited each sunrise with a purpose.

The blue jeans are now faded by age,
highlighted by wear and tear, creased
in the rutted way of old roads – necessary
but untended.  They offer the comfort of memory’s
warm embrace, the unspoken bond of a friendship
shaped by the demands of life.

They still walk together, these old men and their
blue jeans, more slowly but no less proudly,
for they have grown old together and know
that “the clothes did not make them men”.

Premium Member She Was Magnificently Smart

Pig Patty Plop ran into the Laundry mat,
From the awful butcher she was hiding.
Tired, busy mommy was taking some shirts out,
Bubbles hit the floor, and Patty was soon sliding.

She tried to hide under a young child's chair,
But the child let out an enormous scream.
She jumped into a white plastic laundry basket,
But her enormously fat posterior was not clean.

An apron-ed butcher walked in and glared around,
A maniacal man, holding his butcher knife.
On a cell phone we called the police in town.
and they arrested him, detectives from vice.

The pig was hailed a hero, and honored in the town hall.
Saving the rest of the crew from a butcher, deranged, was he.
As a prize for saving the rest of the patrons, eleven in all,
She was allowed to take a spin in washer number thirty- three

Checking Out

Words from perforated ceiling tiles squawk
as megaphone filters blare
in crackled sequence
around missing stations
and call letters that aren’t acronyms

I hear these words, but shake my head
I know they are for me,
sent by well wishing advisors
wearing t-shirts imprinted
“I’m with stupid”

(and the arrows point at me)

Still I don’t heed the warnings… 
I can’t, for dreams require reaching,
top shelf visions waving with 
hope filled coupons
offering no discount for the heart

“Don’t want what you can not have,” they shout
As I continue to climb the frozen escalator,
cleaning my shoes on the bristles,
then checking my appearance in the sunglass
refection of a mannequin missing one arm 

(and I feel happy for this plastic person)

For it has no idea how it feels
To be out of style, yesterday’s sleeves
worn of worried first impressions, 
heart beat delusions and needs
at the end of the line…to check out

and yet, until the time comes for me to “check out” 
I will reach for that dream, regardless of 
invisible sales clerks on their eternal break,
because I will reach that register and I will ask that question
to which she just might say yes

(and then who will be wearing the t-shirt)

Romantic Love

In the brown leaves lie my valentine memory

In the sands of the dried up river my nudity

In the scent of jasmine garden your naked gravity

Who says the river flows for ever, never


What goes on until the blood flows  in the vein

Sometimes slow sometimes like the torrential rain

The images die and the images are born

In the garden you love

In the stench you scorn

Umpteen unborn too

Our lonely times are the shadows

They meet the light and give rise to the photos after photos



It is another river of both grief and glamour

The river of thought sought or unsought

Untying the knots the time forced into my spine

The memories of our valentine 

Like the  grapevine light and shade

Resplendent in silken sunshine


The equine entwine, thine and mine, the joyous resign

To the deep designs of  the sparks and  fire paradigm

Our love  responded to the crimson call



Then at the summit arrived the fall

It was lightening fast 

The cardiac agitation

Sweat in profusion

You breathed your last


 I cannot keep away from the celebration

Every year 

Wrapping the  gems and jewels

In the twilight envelope

With my valentine

I can feel the face and the kiss 

In the bliss of gray sky in the blue sunshine


Across the avenue

Two poems are kissing each other

Their dimples shine

You were very kind



The wet air

So true

A tissue


The sky turns blue


The scented heartbeat

In the shirts

Deep down the heart
