Prim Up Poems - Poems about Prim Up

Good Mr Prim

Mr. Prim provoked shame, guilt, and fear
In every heart, mind, and soul of Redding
Pointing his long, boney finger at whoever was near
Screaming out sinner, to hell you are heading!

Mr. Prim went to church three times a day  
Prayed morning, noon, and night
Walked the straight and narrow, never to stray
He would shun wrong and always

Along the path of life
                                         An abiding faith lies,

prim and proper Miss A
Naked as a jaybird
in throes of dementia
chose the wrong room
old man screams for help

How To Be Prim

Sit up
But sit back.

Cross your legs
But look relaxed.

Calm down
Even though your pulse is racing.

It's grey tones and red tones
And soft velvet sleeves

Black rimmed glasses are the surface
Of dark water.

A mirror with depth.
A deep glass, a pond.

Look her in the eyes and
Say she isn't worthy.

A heron standing still on
A grey pond on a cold
Winter morning.

Even when

Been quite a while on this teeter totter

Prim and Proper

they sat under the apple tree
two little, 4 year olds having fun
could hear there voices tinkling
and a giggle now and then

suddenly all was serious 
i could hear the little girl say
thats rude Peter Perkins 
in a prim and proper way

he marched off with stern face
i asked her what was said
he wanted to swapsy looksey
that's rude

Inside, naughty dwells
Very strong, suck it up like a blotter
