Long Vicky Poems

No Name
by Cathrin Stuart

when you say nine months you carried me,
but could think of no name?

Do you know how it feels
when you say you held me for the first time,
yet...

We often hear of hardship with single motherhood,
how tough it is to raise a family on her own.
How a drunkard and a basher never makes life good.
Winning the gambling debts; losing the family home.

But there's...

Yes, my dear, you know,
You are my source of joy, rejuvenation, hope
I need your emotion spread onto my life,
I need your heart to sing among the darkness surrounding
Do not let our words run dry
Together, in...

He takes me on vacation to a resort 
just off the coast of Aruba. The hotel 
room is amazing...everything in it is

Pop (corn) Music


Introduction

It’s time to dance, time to tango
There’s a Canadian on the banjo
When he sees the guitar strings

While busy the Banjo he strums!


He strums with...

Is it wearing sun glasses like Andrea Dietrich

He'd be the guy, to be there in a crunch
Not afraid of humor, he paves the way
With clerihew words, he loves to play

The Big Bang Theory and others devised.
Professors armed with latest editions.
Soon, teach as facts; oh, faith of youth revised.
Inspired, common suppositions.
Biblical creation too soon capsized.
Unaware, youth accepts false traditions.
Half-truths and questions upon young minds flay....

It was a rainy day so I flipped through a stack of comics
My Amazing Poet series
Finally I picked the fabulous Five
I liked the picture on the front
Yanny the Zen Master with long black hair
Becca the...

I sat with a reluctant story teller
my legs crossed
holding my breath
The fabric of her mind 
was tightly folded
tucked in carefully at her edges

I reached for a thread
gave it a gentle tug
hoping that it would come...

Members of the soup, 
Every one a cool poet 
An exstraudany group,
And they should know it

Shaken, angry  and scared is the family that was once three

Each parent accusing the other of murder in the second degree

But just who would set the fire while their only child was inside

Their faces...

Even when the night air is calm
and still you can hear the wailing
of women from the past that flung
themselves off of WIDOW'S HILL
to the cold, cold ocean below and
legend has it at Collinwood they're
waiting for...

Claudio, sit by me
and hear me speak
the same words that 
Jesus spoke in the Temple;
every trembling child wants to be
near his dad, but yours
isn't here to hug you anytime,
and make sure you get well...
when you...

My legs crossed
Holding my breath
The fabric of her mind

Tucked in at her edges

I reached for a thread
gave it a gentle tug
Hoping that it would come loose

I thought
I believed
I was beyond the reach of light
Trapped there within your darkness
You eclipsed my wonder
My innocence
My hope

You wrapped me fully
Confiscating my will
Smothered my unrealized self
Draped me in your need
Subjugated me to your narrative

Then in...

Nothin like a road trip
In the middle of the night
Josh was hitch hiking
Him and his dad got into a fight

How did I find out...
He's my son's best friend
Another adopted son of mine
My love has no...

Out in the country, secluded, warm, welcoming
On weekends high school students gravitate there
To sing around campfire, and drink illegally.
Old Roy has been helping children become alcoholics for decades

I had to pause
and write you this page
A passing though my love has made
to mention you and the love I caged
My sight was your prisoner

aren’t written in a book
nor do the things they gave us
equal what they took.
Hands that rocked the cradle
soon left welts behind
the harshness of their...
