Payday Poems


Payday vs Sleep

Oh, wow, it's been almost a year; I see..
Since I last let all my words in mind run free.
But now  I feel like  my pen feels right in hand,
To spill the thoughts my heart had planned....

The clock now reads  exactly four fifty-four,
ohhhh, yet sleep still lingers at my door.
I remember, last night,

Premium MemberI Fall For This Payday

A dropper of winsome Fall
in my cat-eye irises.
I fall for this payday of
solitude and promise.

God’s mercy and grace
in the Southern places
of my soul, playfully sourced -
Autumn in living color.

I saunter the shadows of treetops,
burns of yellows and reds -
sardonyx swirls of prose
amidst the evergreens.

A cool cat on the prowl,
not seeking a victim,
but relationship in this

You Newer Know When You Are In Too Deep

It lay gleaming in the window
It was the day after payday
You newer know when you are in too deep

I went inside
Looking at a diving watch, a quite good-looking one
You newer know when you are in too deep

A pretty shop assistant
Her smell
You newer know when you are in too deep

She didn’t smell bad
She didn’t use perfume
You

Would never have sex during Lent
Her husband would bleat
So how do we eat
And how do we pay this weeks rent

Payday, Ode To Langston Hughes

In the morning her eyes paint the cities horizon.
Stretching and yawning.
Getting dressed; Her blue tapestry.
Opening the door to her apartment
She climbs down broken stairs.
It's payday Friday.
The mail man is late again.
Opening her box closing it right back.
She considers direct deposit,
Climbing back up those old creaks in the stairs.
To a notice on the door.
Excessive noise complaint
Rent

Step right up unto the latest craze
Doe bank baby trying to escape 
Big buck's double digit haze ?
A phenom horned in sound
Sweeping across its banks
Her plastic hobo clowns.

Payday
Dr. James E. Martin
©April, 2014

He picked up his check today
And was soon on his way.
A detour was taken,
His funds were forsaken,
Now his fuel bill he could not pay.

A Mix-Up On Payday

A Mix-Up on Payday

By Elton Camp

Get acquainted with Senator Rich
To control spending he does itch

Changing Social Security is his way
“It’s far too expensive,” he does say

Especially the cost of living increase
The senator would like to have cease

The elderly folks he’s willing to frighten
“Your belts you’re going to have to tighten.”

He doesn’t hesitate at all them
