Cloud Crying

In your footsteps,
Feet-bottoms cleated with thorns
Stirring emotions of pain
As they jab into the clouds' backs
Beneath the feet on your selfish body
Burning with pressurous threat
Commencing the clouds to cry tears that fall
Hence, soaking me wet.

Premium Member A New Poem

A new poem -
Let me revel in its newness
As I beat the way.
Let me count its lines
And wish it well
As it streams across the continents
And into beating hearts.

One and Only

Amazing this one number commencing A like of numbers.Trillions of numbers even all from one number.Only one number,it’s one and all others one’s members.Two is bigger than one number but in fact one plus one is two number.Numbers not end like a ring as numbers commencing from one number!

Life

Life's random notes from a symphony
playing to nobody - nobody cares.
Like you, they will soon be washed away
on E minor chaos with conductor away.

Happy Day of Birth

Dear dead properties, L-o-L
Now back to earth and for what it’s worth
A new year is a laudable blessing commencing rebirth
Advance in life and don’t come back, kidding 
Just don’t retreat or look back
Sweet sixteen I’m glad you’re that
On your back, me support thou sat
Feliz cumpleaños, and good luck
Love, a hungry acquaintance

Premium Member Me

I met a man called Truth,
And truth was what he wanted,
But I gave none to him.

I met a man called Love,
And he called out for me,
But I, as always, failed.

I met a man called Drunk.
AT LAST!
We both had wine together.

Sailing on a boat

                                                Prompting to abscond
                                              Departing from foregoing

Premium Member A Shiny Car

I will buy me a shiny car
Along the way, along the way...
I will buy many things.

I will love me a shiny ring
Along the way... along.
I will love me solitaire.

I will love me my memories
And sing and sing, but
To no one except me.

Premium Member The Telephone

Light is fading
over the blackened bay
and Judy calls
without anything to say

I hear her voice
talking of prices
while the light fades
even more over the bay

Now bay is dark,
and Judy says goodbye
The telephone sits humbly,
waiting for tomorrow

Premium Member The Poignancy of Boyhood

There is a poignancy in boyhood...
The high voice, and ineptitude,
The yearning to be free of mother's strings;
The awkwardness of age fifteen, to wit
A boyish sullenness.

There are some things lost when manhood gained -
And mothers cry on thinking.

Premium Member White Mittens

Fog came early to Nebraska,
and slender churches became hidden.
Pastors came out of them with scarves,
their children tight-dressed 
                       and with white mittens.


Cars moved slowly,
dipped beams constant; the radio turned on.
The fog came early - unawares.

aware in a bottle garden,

                                      a pear tree

Premium Member Viv Knows

My vivier is rich in fish
and is at the bottom
of my garden.
I go down there to see the fish.

I go to see my bright goldfish
that swim inside the vivier.
You won't see them in the river
or in any old wild place.

I like to feed the goldfish
that swim in the vivier.
I love the fish in vivier.
Viv knows I do.

Premium Member The Yew Trees

The yew trees 
Were like staid old ladies in green skirts.
They lined the way to the church door.

Like the staid old ladies,
They did not bow when the fancy vicar
Walked the path, or asked him how he was.

Like the ladies they were proud,
And all brown leaves from fancy trees
Annoyed him, just like they.

Premium Member The Lake

The lake was only small
But we boated.
Not far to go...

Back and forth
On the little lake
And watching the boat go.

Back and forth and go  -
Using up the day
That won't return.

Transitioning

Transitioning from our spiritual home
We resist our entry, fearing unknown
We’re swaddled and cleaned with scented foam
Our earthly friends say, “This now is your home.”

As infants we fuss commencing great cries
Loved ones comfort and dry our eyes
And when it’s time for transitions once more
We protest and struggle as we did once before

And although we protest and confidence lack
Our heavenly friends greet us with, “Welcome back.”

Premium Member At Reece Fair Again

Here we are at fair again,
but today is bleak and windy.
Various signs do shake
and the toffee man is here. 

Kids are having ice cream
and asking me for euros.
The neon lights do glare...
Should I order some fast food?

Now kids are on the fun slide
and the toffee man is smiling.
Toffee rhymes with coffee,
but I can't get in the mood.
