I'm popular

(a throwback poem from High school)

I'm the most popular girl in my homeroom.
Of course, that's my own bedroom -
cause we're on COVID lockdown, zoom.

My bedroom is the math class, which doubles as the gym,

They're only in my mirror, so my cats get free

Contrary to Popular Opinion

      Contrary to popular opinion
      the man of the house
         does not even share dominion

Sitting on the dock of the bay

I was sitting on the dock of the bay listening to a song
when Otis Redding happened to come walking along.

• A popular man amongst the girls
• I often wonder if I'll be fine

THE GANGSTER, Spoken by the popular SILENT ONE

Appreciation:
A big thank you Silent One for your splendid narration of this poem.

THE GANGSTER

Through foreboding, whispering, wintery air
A woken Heron shrilly shrieks somewhere
Reflective iridescent gem in a gloomy stream
The gangster with a poetic heart dares to dream

A living testimony to deviates and lost souls.
Where seedy worth defines unsavoury roles.
Perceiving  her as a quintessence work

Popular by personal problems sharing

A famous and popular person,
 displaying personal problems, 
has been awarded a verified ID.
Wanting fame, he attempts to conceal his reality,
directing attention to others with pure personalities. 
If I grab my phone to prove purity through pictures, 
tomorrow I find myself in the High Court without Aducate.
Such birds are foolish, using foolish tools to deceive

Cheers, to you don’t drown.
Lift your spirits, join the fun
Pass the glass along to the next one.

Don’t check the glass or ask what’s inside
Just accept the glass as part of the ride.
Spread your wings and you will find
The fun that’s had with the drink time.

Pass that celebratory glass around again
