Long Warmers Poems

Unquotable quotes: Tale-Carriers, Gossip-Mongers, Courrier-Pigeon Caretakers, Smoke-Signal Puffers and Tom-Tom Thumpers – XXVI

Could there be such things as political shenanigans or inter-continental warfares, even catastrophes, natural disasters, tsunamis, irruptions, conflagrations, inundations, landslides, typhoons, tornadoes, hurricanes,...

Make Do and Mend,

Years ago we had jobs
We had fun and money in our pocket
Things were much better then
Once you could go out the door
And never ever lock it

But still so many struggled
To buy food...

I know not
what produces and consumes regenerative design
any more than wherein lies recreative imagination
or even empathic and trusting intelligence,
yet I do know this cooperative designer is not me,
and yet I am part thereof,
as are you.

Give me that old skool love, a groovy throw back

kind of love that is black and white like the first TVs.

A tapered leg acid washed jean trouser and a crop

top feeling sexy.

A striped miniskirt with...

WHERE TRUE WORSHIP LIES

Listen carefully incline thine ear,
For those with inner ears to hear,

It is not a saying deep or dark,
But even the simple can embark,

A Word to both the aged, and youth,
True worship is...

I was a young mother of three darling little girls in the 1980’s, but thanks to TV, and a new invention called a video recorder, these are things that stand out in my mind:

I was born in 1943
in a rural backwater safe from the bombs
also a safety net still akin to the 19th century.
Neither electricity nor gas
only an old oil lamp and candles for comfort.
The luxury of the...

When she walks around this Rocky Mountain downtown;
With a pretty-in-pink style Mohawk;
She doesn't look like an eighties version of a bad hangover.
While she obviously indulges in ballet classes,
As well as the occasional psychedelic drug that...

What do you do when you walk into a Pizza Place? You order, wait at least 30 minutes, 
right?  Yes, and then the only other option is to listen, never dreaming you can also...

Love they said was a music and you were its composer 
I remember you and all I ever knew was nothing but you 

I lost my heart when our eyes met and since then I...

I will go back in time to the 1980's when I was still a young girl,
         loved watching the movie Flash dance;

Dreams Deferred - Gone with the Wind


Dreams deferred:

Placed on hold
Like unwelcomed telephone calls

Relegated to being bench warmers 
Like second-rate baseball players

Put out to pasture
Like useless cattle past their prime 

Displayed on a shelf
Like tarnished antiques...

I love Mittens; they're so warm and cosy.
When harsh winds blow, that makes cheeks rosy
Thick woollen mittens do the trick
These are the hand warmers my hands pick.

Just slip your hand inside the mitt
The opening is...

Alice in Wonder

Alice in wonder, landed a handful
From depths of a dryer eerily playful

Another sock missing, the dryer she’s dissing
A goblin within she fears is hissing

Disgusted by waste, calls Scotland Yard in haste
Thoughts of buying...

The Bench Warmers! 

I Always confused 
About the ladders we called 
I wonder, where things went wrong 
I'm thinking thinking 
I keep asking myself 
Where are the sensitive young adults? 
So saddened the future leaders...

We mostly stick with basics
When we make a major buy,
So recommended bells and whistles
Seem to pass us by.

Yet today we took possession
Of our brand-new Subaru
And to get new safety features,
We were forced to upgrade, too.

I'm searching for a new man.
			(My lemon quit on me.)
			I'm a discerning seeker.
			(The smallest dent, I'll see!)

			I want a younger fellow;
			(Low mileage is a must.)
			Required is great get-up-and-go
			(an engine with no rust).

			He should desire me...

Spring has long taken off
its Bermuda shorts.
Hawaiian shirts are left
on tree-lines to fade
under a red-faced sun.
If there are worms in the dry earth
the Robins cannot reach them,
and now scramble after
bugs on baking walls.
No one complains
except...

From your family to your friends,
To the very breath you’re taking in.
There’s so much to be thankful for,
Having family is what I’m grateful for.

The thoughts of loved ones resonate,
In the hearts of those around us.

S-een always at the backside
C-aressing their ignorance which
H-oused their illiterate minds.
O-nly fools values ignorance like them,
O-perating in the other phase of
L-ife filled with darkness
W-arming all the chairs they come for.
A-bsenting themselves from the big deals

New romantics
Eye liner
Night clubs and alcohol 
Boys who wear lipstick
Outrageously divine!

Leg warmers
Shoulder pads
Looking grand
In that all that fashion wear!
Music you can dance to - yes!

Nostalgic trip
Memory lane
Leather trousers, you look so great
Turn back time, if...
