My space ship of a lamp shade,
This little cardboard room.
What genius exists here,
In the abscence of the moon?...

Her eyes blinding mine,
My mind couldn't see she was
A cardboard hot ride;
All the perky promises
Sagged on the first rainy night...

There was an old tomcat named Sox 
Who enjoyed his brown cardboard box
He'd jump right inside
play there and hide
Old Sox in a box 
Really rocks...

My First Couplet
Take flight, up high
Sky land, with a cardboard box?

So high, up clouds
loudly up, barrel light?

Do tricks, take a pick
ice cream licks, boomy boom?...

Cardboard Ceiling
After you left, I 
Found my pride crouching inside
A homeless man’s box

I crawled inside and 
Collapsed, releasing the last
Of love’s butterflies

We fed cardboard sheets
into a machine in steady flow

corrugated boxes the result
boxes to be filled with wares
endless capitalism perpetuated...

Walking side view
cardboard cut out
if you've seen it
probably was kinda halloweenish
it's a freak of nature
a view hard to conjure
up to you walking
cut out side view...

Premium Member Not Real
I, as paper man
in paper town, 
grey, saw 
a cardboard cut-out
of a mirror, 
the reflection
was a busy world 
it didn't look real, 
those colours
and restaurants

Homeless
homeless, my dreams
wander the street
sleeping in a cardboard box
chilled from the cold
and rumbling hunger
longing for more
hoping for shelter
love that will
take them in...

The battle rages, tree branch swords
cardboard boats on Viking Fjords
victory within our grasp
mother calling “time for your nap”

Boulevard, Usa
Fluorescent signs shout
     "Liquor" and "XXX,"
cardboard boxes
     hold the land hostage,
pushers and prostitutes
     pirouette
with survival
     their only choreographer....

Premium Member Saving a Bug
bug inched around my glass rim
i knew it could fly off
it didn't
so I captured it
between a glass and a piece of cardboard
walked it outside and let it go.
I am a hero.
One more life saved...

Searching For the Smuggler's Cave
The cheap thrill
tobogganing down the slope
of the Aberfeldie Park hill
on a piece of cardboard
then adventuring to the smuggler's cave
near the Maribyrnong River
searching for buried treasure....

Finger Puppets
children
         create jolly
       finger puppets
      from cardboard,

   chocolate smeared
        little hands
    make them sticky.
