MARTI THE MOUSE

MARTI THE MOUSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marti, a mouse of discerning taste,
strung his hammock.
not of woven reeds,
nor silken thread pilfered
from a sleeping giant's beard,
but dandelion floss,
a sun-bleached tapestry
between two golden towers.

He wrestled the fluff,
a Herculean feat for one so small,
tied knots with nimble paws,
cursing only slightly
when a rogue seed tickled his nose.

Now, he swung,
a furry pendulum
in a field of green,
eyes half-closed,
whiskers twitching
at the buzzing of a bee.

The People of Vinalia Faculae

trickest with deceit
ye wicked vile woman
seperating the facts into
a fiction
their they speak what they wishest
thee to beleive
evil and uncaring
interprito.....
ha ingannato gli
uomini con la
suduzione parlando
della mancanza di
preoccupaza di
marti per il suo
benessere e
I suolanimali

Silent Unholy Nights a Collaboration

A Collaboration with Marti Sutherland

Circling the table before they feast, black ravens crow
bright beady eyes darting to and fro, away they go
landing on a wounded body that has not yet died
circling the skies before they feast, dark ravens cried

On their bellies through titanic grass, slimy snakes slither
forked tongues searching for innocent prey, coming hither
Reptiles crawling from under rocks, cold-blooded and chilled
their fangs leaving lethal bites,  and another victim is killed

skulking in shifting shadows, deceitful humans lie in wait
Bearing no name, no face; beware of the wicked who hate
Brutal bashers who take what they want at the cost of life
Back stabbers living in a harsh world where hypocrisy is rife

Ravens, snakes and evil humans sit on thrones of deceit
Like black widows they feast on their mates when they cheat
They spin their lies so easily, like the sticky web of a spider
Beware you are not caught when their mouths open wider

Hoodlum Triple Collaboration With Lin Lane and Marti Sutherland

I followed that cad Robyn Hood 
and discovered he's up to no good 
An expert at cheating 
bad mouthing and bleating 
His actions I've not understood

Oh how awful that folks feel so glum
Many now call him Robyn Hoodlum
He's a raunchy thief
who brought them to grief
He preyed on the blind, deaf, and dumb

Robyn has folks dancing like Muppets 
He loves to treat them like puppets 
He tugs at their strings 
and then clips their wings 
No wonder their confidence plummets

Heard the sheriff will arrest him soon
Robyn will be singing a new tune
While sitting in jail
He will cry and wail
In sorrow for acting like a goon

Sheriff found out Robyn is a girl
Her real name is Antoinette Pearl
Robyn Hoodlum wed
Now the sheriff is dead
and Robyn is engaged to an earl

Tattered Wedding Dress

Eve’s wedding dress is dirty and tattered;  
She’d had fun at her divorce paint party,      
With bright paint it’s now messy and splattered! 

Her ex husband has run off with Marti, 
(At one time she had been Eve’s closest friend) 
Eve’s now renounced her old surname McCarty.

In the future her broken heart may mend;  
She’s determined to get on with her life - 
Her lovely neighbors have been a godsend!

Eve is saddened she’s no longer a wife,
But she’s well rid of the marital strife!

I Won'T Play Childish Games: With a Guest Poet

I don't want a flimsy daisy chain love
one the slightest breeze will sever apart
Their blooms are as pure as a turtle dove
I won't play childish games with my heart

Plucking flower petals, I would never do
for he either loves me, or he loves me not
Cupid drew his little bow and an arrow flew
He missed but I consider it a warning shot

Love is seldom simple. I'm aware of that
Unless built on honesty, it will surely fail
The man I will love must wear a white hat
not some scoundrel who carries a tall tale

The truth in matters will someday be told
So I'll not pluck daisies and strip them bare
One day my heart will discover and enfold
the hero searching for me, his own lady fair

Marti's Party

There once was a lady called Marti
Who set up a swinger’s sex party
She picked up some keys
Said I hope that these
Belong to that stallion Artie!

Hello, My Name Is Marti

Hello,

My name is Marti-not short for anything
you won't see my name in a card catalog
because I've never written a novel
or even a short story-well-not one
that's been published

You might find my name online
but it won't be because I'm famous
I shy from limelight
but my name will be among you
on each poem I share

Vo Thandi Hawa

Vo thandi sarsarati hawa
Mujhe kuch keh ke chali gayi 
Ranj-o-gam ki syahi me lipti
Kuch panne zindagi ke bhar gayi

Panne jab palat ke dekhe 
To ek kahani simti dikhi
Na jane kab se dhool me padi thi 
Kisi ke jeevan ki rubai mitati chali gayi

Kayi saal ho gaye uss sehar ko guzre hue
Ab to door tak vo hawa fir dikhti nahi
Meri zindagi ke vo panne jo usne bhare the
Unme jhakti meri rooh bhi marti rahi

Na jane vo hawa kya kehna chahti thi 
Uski parchai bhi sirf yadon ko naseeb thi
Raton me bhi uska hi khayal ata he
Hum samajhte rahe aur vo udti chali gayi

So Little Time So Many Secrets

I’ve utilized cleavage to get out of a ticket or two
One time I had a very fun rendezvous involving fondue
Ohh and that time with the old boyfriend and the canoe
Do you know how many things you can do with a kazoo?

One night stands?  I’ll only admit to a few!
I had a morning of bliss with the tour guide at the zoo
I proudly joined the mile high club the last time I flew
That afternoon with my piano teacher…yabbadabbadoo!

I had my own pre Marti Gras parade just of the blew
I sure did give a thrill to the guy who works the drive-through
I’m elated that the hunky cop was into it too
How do I get to the top? I bet you wish you knew!

****I apologize up front to all of my conservative friends here at the Soup :)*****
****For Shani's "Tell me a secret contest-Won 2nd Place!!!*****
****For the record...one 'secret' on the list IS true-and it just wouldn't be any fun if I told ya which :)

Call yourself Christian
Call yourself Human
Call yourself Mohammedans

Say you are Sufi
Say you are Wicca 
Say you are Krishna Marti

Be nailed to suffering
The message of Buddhism
Find eternity in the Dao

Live for the moment
Escape in doctrine
Define yourself by dogma

Have faith in a word
Faith in “I AM ”
Faith in the Vibration “AUM ”

Look to heaven
Look to hell 
Look to the bottom of a wishing well

Believe in Nothing
Believe in Everything
Believe in Now

Be channelled by writing
And crystal healing
Find power by lay line divining
