You stink I said to the skunk
He replied, yes but I do it so well
I said you really really stink
He again replied, yes but I do it really really well!
I said Mr Skunkallo
Allo? Hello, as I held my nose
You really really really really really Stink

I want to laugh
Laughter brings sunshine
Alas I only cry
The court jester does his best
To be a fool
Dancing and twirling his illusions
The children do laugh
As children will
At the circus clown on his unicycle of idiocy
Me, I can only cry
I feel pity and sorrow
For the old fool
Beating who the hell knows who...

Receding Shoreline





Throbbing heartbeats rise,
Patience draws a line in the sand,
Tears swallow my pride,
Turbulence persuades the tides,
Anguish engulfs the shoreline !

In moments when the twilight sparks
To gently flare like bright monarchs,
Tender  comes nightfall swinging a hum
While air-tossed clouds, on flight, succumb.

Yet, through the lull of sky, I hear
My lover's voice huffs, quite revere
Whispering mildly as I flow
Through refrains from winters ago.

Ey-up uncle Ken,
I bet tha goin, bookies Agen!
I'll go with thee,
If it's or rate.

To see mi mate.
Wats tha backin, in two thirty?
Mi gran ses put a Bob,
On flirtin girty.
Gonna play Togger on park,
Then go woods,
Before it's dark.
Get sum cheggies for afta tea,
If tha calls in Lata
Will save sum for thee.
See thee lata,
Hope tha win
Will no if tha has,
Thal av a big grin....

Christ, avatar.
One Christmas star
Cosmos ajar.
Life dusts disperse.

A child of God
Like trees in sod.
All on Earth laud.
One universe.

Upon me now, a dread has come creeping.

Dreamless, I’m lying awake in my bed.

Into my very bones it is sinking.

Upon me now, a dread has come creeping.

If I only could, I should be weeping,

But I arise to write this poem instead.

Upon me now, a dread has come creeping.

Dreamless, I’m lying awake in bed.

Motif: Gothic
Written by Andrea Dietrich 

*Written a while back when I had some stress in my life.
Now using it for the short poem contest part III of Giorgio A.V....
