Box In Day

You've got to hand it to Millie
She knows what makes men act silly!
Just ask Uncle Fred
Who took her to bed
Where she circum-sighed his willie!

The Box

The box is at risk
of being something real,
and they sang
I live in a box, a carboard box in the entry,
I've got no roof but it's waterproof down the entry.
I'd prefer the house.

Distemper

Fictional for a prompt:- think outside the box in sixteen words.


Frothing at mouth
Distemper shows itself
Taking over body and mind
Mans best friend 
Slowly dies




Please, please, please get your animals/pets vaccinated!

An American Songbird

Lovely Cardinal, Sitting on mail box in snow. Brilliant red feathers aglow. Sings winters solstice In time for Merry Christmas. Sun is far from equator. Giving solitude For the first day of winter, December the twenty first!

God

GOD

Old ones
Planet seeders
They got us all started
Then they left
They put a box in out heads
So that we could keep in touch
Just pray in any religion
And receive beneficience
Still, it's lonely...
Or...
They are too far away
And can't hears us anymore

Haiku Compilation

dust laden kids toys
in a box in the attic
when will they come down?

a tiny heart beats
pain and joy are intertwined
dusted teddy waits




Top Haiku question Timothy Hicks

Bottom Haiku conclusion Richard Lamoureux

Poem the result of my asking about a form that Tim had written.

Spring Clean

Been sorting out my wardrobes
Geez, what a chore
Some left on their hangers
Most are on the floor

Tried to be ruthless
Not worn last year then out they go
Must bundle up the floor ones
Before my heart says NOOOO

It’s a 6 monthly ritual that I abhor
Money is put in a box in aid of cancer

Music Box In the Rain

Sitting under a tree
while it's dark at three

Alone in the rainy storm with this music box
waiting for the sun to shine so opportunity knocks

Cranking the key to commence a soft song
in order to stay strong

Hours pass and the sun comes out
finally gaining the chance to wander about

bottom

red box in the window,
inside a black widow
playing this fiddle tune,
heartbreak to be consumed.

she is not some honey,
she is not for money,
she’s just kinda hungry,
for your body and mind.

in the nighttime moonlight,
when the orb blinks outloud,
this is where you’ll find her_
that lovemaking neon sound.

Fairytale

my mom read me a story
bout a girl and a shoe
how if it fit just right
she would live happily ever after
I think she called it a fairytale

now you are standing at my door
a box in your hand containing one shoe
you kneel down and slide the slipper on
a perfect fit, made for me
I'm ready for my happily ever after

Killing the Scream

He ran over a cat,
the car killed it -

sees it,
unmoving
through his rear-view mirror.

He wants to apologies,
but to whom?

Finding an empty box in his mind,
he screams “sorry” into that,
yet knowing for certain,
that when night prowls,

a car locked in a dark garage,
will still hear that scream,
as he dreams.

Standing

In a box,
  Four square walls,
  A lid to hold me in.

  Bursting the seams,
  Spilling out,
  Wandering all about!
 
  Finding my way,
  Only I can say,
  What powerful things come to stay.

  Sending out streams,
  Of music, thoughts,
  And dreams.

  No more box in my ocean,
  Outside the box I'll always be,
  Only way I can stay free!

Who Am I

I watch you from afar
Read the words that flow from your brain

It's hard to watch a flame burn
Not being able to get too close
Not being able to reach out
I'm behind this glass on a small box in my hand... well  more of a flat rectangle. 

Life is strange 
You are somebody I used to know
But don't know anymore
And you don't know me
I don't know me

Buried In the Sand

A beggar clump adorns a dump, his pencil box in hand -
With sightless eyes upon the skies he’s lying there unmanned.

He’s fallen down in Shantytown, his knees too weak to stand,
With no relief and bitter grief too dark to understand.

The Bowery blight is hid from sight, it’s covered up and bland,
And Robin Hood and Brother Hood lie buried in the sand.

A Matchbox In the Rain

Unprotected piece of a house
exposed to fierce drops of water
prone to melt away in mud
like a music box in a matchbox,
unbelievable and unnecessary
and yet there,
a dwelling of husband and wife
to nest and breed
their young
willing to go away
and build their own music matchboxes,
stronger and safer
yet still
exposed to the ruthless transparency
of falling water.

Gold Toothed Deception

Before I die
I want a mouth filled with gold teeth.
So, when they excavate me after a thousand years.
They'll think I was royalty-maybe even a king-
To fool an archeologist (grave robber) I think is a noble thing.

Good kings should be buried like the common man.
No monuments or pomp-- Purple garments or crowns.
Just a simple pine box in the cold-cold ground-

Right Track

I put my box in the closet 
My dirt laundry outside
Cleaning house was a trip
Slipped through your tight grip

I’m now on my own
Feeling free like a bird
Now when I talk 
I know I’ll be heard

I don’t blame you 
I blame myself
Not born a fool
You no longer rule

I was robbed some years
That I can’t get back
From today moving forward 
I’m on my on track

Outside the Box

He farmed because farming is what he knew; but a farmer
was not who he was, because he had other money-making
businesses for himself and his family.  What he knew and the
'box in which he was born and raised' were not big enough for him,
nor did they define him. My father, entrepreneur at heart, outside the box.

Emotions

Emotions up and down,
spinning out of control,
light headedness,
fuzziness,
all of a dither,
my mind can't deliver,
such emotive thoughts.

Try to shut away in a box in my head,
they are not in charge of me,
I am in charge of them,
keeping busy is the answer,
for a mediocre happy ever after,
pretty thoughts of a life after,
but for now, living for the day I can live the life i'm after.

Us and Them

Parched his desert shawl, and all these writings on the wall ?
Sitting atop her pillow as gazing through, this window; city skies
While baby yawns then rubs their blurry eyes; waking, to a lullaby.. 
Crowned the ceiling, trimmed of gold; as silver stars, it's paper holds
Teddy smiles and infants laugh; crawling past, his crimson hat ? Sunlight
Joy's pink giraffe; making haste to kiss her face a music box, in love's display.

Pearls

"The pearl is the daughter of the Moon and the common sense." Zosimos of Panopolis

The days of yore these beautiful large pearls 
bathed in the salty pleasure of the ocean.
They’re now in the box in which the girl's
thin fingers bath and their harmonic motion
arouses me. Oh, lightning-fast exposure!
Oh, pearls of pleasure on your belly!.. Say
to me, how do you keep such a composure
to ask me in due time to slip away?

Twenty Years of Spaces Filled

So much easier to pack the car,
no litter box, no carrier -
space for other things.

So much easier at motels,
unloading it all and
no hide and seek at morning departure -
less stress and time for other things.

At home, no litter box in the hall,
a space now for shoes and boots and
in the cupboard where the "Fancy Feast"
and "Temptation" treats were found,
space now for, I don't know, other stuff.

So much room, so empty,
that space within our hearts ...

Links

In a box in the closet,
Beneath lots of shoes,
Was a bundle of greeting cards;
All did effuse

With good wishes, congrats
And excitement galore
For the birth of a baby
A short time before.

I read every card;
Some had names I don’t know
For they all had been written
A long time ago.

That baby, my son,
Now has kids of his own.
At 38 years,
He’s officially grown.

No need to hold on
To these links to the past.
I took a deep breath
And I ditched them at last.
