Misfit Poems

a misfit in Liverpool

A misfit in Liverpool
I think of oranges when I see a painting by Constable of a morning sun
that looked like blood orange dripping nectar down on some
fishermen trying to catch eels on the dark surface of the bay.
There were sail-ships too ready to hoist sail in the morning wind.
When I lived in England, I met

My Children We Are All A Bunch Of Misfit

No matter how well intentioned anyone appears to be.
God says there's only one we can trust and that simply is He.
No one's better than another, we're all made the same.
God started with two people. Adam and Eve is their name.
God says people who think they're better, has a problem with pride.
He says they are like

Premium MemberMISFIT TOYS ISLAND FABLE

Alone and Separated
Far from a Child’s touch
Divided in much
A bus with square wheels and not round
A Passenger train with no steam engine pull
A flying Eel
A rewrite Reel
All the above are Misfit toys
Needing the joy from every Girl and Boy
They are stuck on an island in the middle of nowhere
It’s up to Santa to bring the

Premium MemberMisfit Figurine

Marvelous ancient music box,
prim guitarist on pointe shoes rocks;
A misfit figurine
not concerned how she’s seen;
Her erratic tempo is not Bach’s.

Premium MemberThe Magick Of A Misfit Huitain

Candle wax drips calcified tears, 
riptides of dreams burst boundaries;
Drops become circles never squares;
Out of the box locked in a freeze
with rough edges it aims to please;
There’s no hiding their benefit,
claws can rip apart arteries;
That’s the magick of a misfit.

Can-Do Attitude

It's a question of what you can do.
Well, I can work.
That's what I can do.
Yet, I can't be with people or be friendly.
I just don't have it within me.
That's why I'm outside.
For this, I remain on my hill, on my descent.
It's a crescent just for you and me.
Just think, it's a fact, and that's just

MISFIT

"I have been a stranger in a strange land"

Today I am free, in a land that I recognise
Unlike that time in that very strange land
And as a stranger, almost all was a surprise
Everything so difficult for me to understand
Nothing of substance, and all was so bland
All around me would just a smile and nod
Comfortable with

Premium MemberMisfit Maiden

Marvelous magic’s meant to be;
Melani, not melancholy;
Dark is not the madness in me;
Measured? maybe; Measured? maybe;

Mastered the macabre that’s within,
muted miles of emotion;
A myriad of feminine,
misfit maiden, misfit maiden.

Misfit Miss Feet

Misfit, Miss Feet (A literary translation)
Gossipmonger rumors around!
A wedding ensuing, Mary go-round!
May I have a speaker call?
Surmising the news to scroll? 
Not bad, not bad at all, there!
In utter black, a chilling suction, May..or!
And the complexion, and the fairness unbound.
Reminds me of a jolly owl, or a whim, around!
Among these, the intellect and the one!
Perseverance,

Social Misfit Mr. Mollander McGumphry McGee
Took his hen for a walk down street seventy-three
Dancing beside him was a weird lunatic-like chickadee
I am glad we do not look that ridiculous said MM McGee

The hen kept her mouth shut, for she was brighter than he
Ridiculous is not the half of it she later told her sister Bree
No

Thunder God

Thunder god 
Oh, thunder god might be the harbinger of an eddy, 
He is a potent striker and a deity, 
Yet his mind bores him with the power which is at the ready, 
You may think he has a lot of power, 
Though his dejection is that by a sneeze he may raze a tower,

........misfit Souls....
This is the house of the misfiten heart .
Each one here looking for a new start
Dont know what they are hoping to find. 
Maybe  just the chance to leave the past behind
Or just peace of mind.
Looking for what, they might not even know
Could just be for the chance to grow
Grow beyond what they

Ima Misfit

In all my life that I've existed you see,
I've never fit in anywhere, like it was meant to be.
 IMA now up there in my older year's,
a misfitt that's been filled with laughter and so many tear's.
 You may see me as a misfitt, a rebel, a lost cause, and that's fine I say,
cause I
