Selling Poems

Mary Anning 1799-1847

Born in Lyme Regis Dorset
a palaeontologist fossil collector
in the English Channel marine bed cliffs
and a coprolites (faeces) detector
who at only twelve years old
found the first two skeletons plesiosaur
and outside Germany
that of a pterosaur
yet as a woman who did not
always receive full credit
for her scientific contributions
and ineligible to join to their discredit
the Geological Society of London

21 CENTURY MARKET OF SELLING A SOUL

Beloved, let me embrace you,
My touch sweeter than any virtual bliss,
In this digital space, filled with coded delights,
Let me revel in your pixelated perfection,
Tiger, let me embrace you,
My touch sweeter than any virtual bliss.

Beloved, you've savored your time with me,
Tell my folks, they'll send you emojis,
My dad, he'll Venmo you gifts.

I know where to lift

Selling It

Suckers or lollipops?
Solid or pinwheels?

Ones used for little girl props,
and one every minute reveals.

selling fear and hate

To hoard large pots in the biz game
They’ll say immigrants’ only aim
To grab workers’ cash!
This augments the stash
The fattest cats normally claim  

Selling Myself Short

The night I killed myself, I wrote a letter
A letter to everyone who has ever loved me and watched me grow
A gentle reminder that it’s okay to let me go
The night I killed myself, I told my best friend I loved her, 
That I appreciate all that she has done
That even when life was crumbling,

Selling flowers

I saw a lady selling flowers
walking along where cars turn left
not much time to make the deal
maybe some folks want them
but they have to turn
or stop traffic
cars will honk
chaos
yikes

Every time I see them sell flowers
it reminds me of my mother
she used to have to do that
like a My Fair Lady
before she met Dad
I bring flowers
to

selling england by the pound

Said emerald isle im sinking
the weight is culpable
hope and glory all gone
the tent cities array in London,
chewing the remnant of greatness
selling england by the pound
digest the news
the politicians have asundered
their nuances
first failed, they now kick in their equity cards
into the world of tv news
who tease the teasel
in this merry go around


 

selling cell life

cell life be
to sell your time...

and all-ways have your
phone-on-knee so when...

connect-shunts come you'll be
in a realistic 'ok, act-you-all' as at tea...

Are We Selling An Alternative That Is Flawed In Most Cases

If my Mothers life pointed to a way forward,
Without the need for drugs, 
Or an excuse to dwell on the unfairness of life.

If my Fathers life pointed to how to get by, even with a chip on your shoulder,
And not crash and burn,
Despite all life throws at you.

If my life with all its testing times

The Best Selling Novelist

I will write a best-selling novel he says.
Sounds wonderful I encourage him. Have you started it yet?
Not on a Tuesday.
What is it about?
I don't know yet.
Will it be fact or fiction?
He gives me a weird smile. Unsure at this time.
Do you plan to use reference books?
I don't know.
Will it be about people?
I doubt it. I

Selling Off Your Reading Glasses

If you stopped attending paid classes
Would you sell off your reading glasses:
Gladly, speedily drop out if school, 
When every scholar is thought a fool?

Are you the type, who would rather bend
To an existing insisting trend:
Hang your helpful business-like manner,
Because you have changed your shop's banner?

Then, you will have become Igneous Rock,
Whose hardness one should fearlessly

Selling One's Soul

Oh Mephistopheles*, happier today you must be than any other time

Many people are willing their souls to sell you, just for a single dime!

Selling My Old Fridge

Yes, I had you told
My fridge would be sold:
Now tired, quite old 
Few times got things cold 
My hands I can fold
And stark grudges hold
Against Machines, old
Fridge that won't blocks mold...

Mine is a tongue bold
I oftentimes rolled 
To bad Old Fridge Scold.

Selling Mamas House

We have been trying to sell my mother-in-law’s house for fifteen years.
She always wanted us to fall in love with it and move into it.
We both knew this would never happen.
It is in smal town USA – no jobs, no life, and no excitement.
A town where people move out, not in.

We are city people.
We have

Presentation Is Everything

Some say presentation is everything and more
That’s certainly important if selling is your game
I learned that while managing a piano store.

Sponsoring concerts with musicians of fame,
Selling the idea that a buyer can learn how to play
That’s certainly important if selling is your game.

We demonstrated easy piano tunes every day
Teaching buyers simple tunes anyone can learn
