Intruder

silence is broken
a sound of a door creaking
whispering voices
footsteps coming from the room
the dwarf hid in a cupboard

Mother Hubbards Cupboard

Mother Hubbard’s cupboard was known
By anyone who had a bone
A bare cupboard – yes sir
She removed all the fur
So every bone found its way home

A Christmas package wrapped in green
Sits in the cupboard, still unseen.
He could  not find the will to live
And now his package.. I cannot give.

Skeleton In the Cupboard

We can recall
Joyous moments in our lives 
With great enthusiasm;
But the tears 
We've neglected to wipe
From the eyes of our fellow man
Will never leave us

Flimsy Bright

from my cupboard fall
all the stripey flimsy bright
things I used to wear

some dull dreary mourning tide 
hath made me drab as ashes

Brenda, of the Snowcapped Beauty

She can line a cupboard 
Better than Mother Hubbard, 
And  OH Yes! I say, 
She can cook gourmet --
Offers sister kinship,
the salt and savor,
of anyone's friendship.

It was such a tiny misdemeanour
In the broom cupboard with the night cleaner
We wouldn't get caught
Or that's what I thought
’till she squealed like a drunken hyena

Premium Member John Lennon Gets the Munchies

Imagine there's no cupcake
Someone in the house ate yours
No Krispy Kremes or KitKats
No pudding pops or s'mores
Imagine there's no halva 
Behind cupboard doors, oo hoo oo.

Premium Member AI canned

I am AI
I think I can
I can AI
It's sealed within me
I will AI
Only when
The cupboard is bare
And the can opener is handy
My AI is canned,
as primordial soup
Campbell's.

Empty Cupboard

Standing, Hoping, Looking...
Into an empty cupboard.

Hoping, Yearning, Longing...
I know not what to do.

So I ask myself...To see if HE might know.

Ah...Whatever!
I'm going to McDonald's!!

When Mickey Gets Mad

He rips through the walls 
And runs through your house
He does so much damage 
For one little mouse
He’ll steal all your cookies
And he’ll never say please
So bolt up the cupboard
And hide all the cheese

A Precious Love

A precious love that takes all fears away
I found inside the cupboard here today
The friend that is beside me now to stay
 
He walks with me from here to over there
A friend indeed, he travels everywhere
O how I love my dear old teddy bear.

Ol' Dagger Mouth

Dagger finger linger
        kitchen stinger rinse out the print out
            of exposure light blight
        tea cupboard cheese release 
            the deceased beneath
        floor boards creak
            sleak slender slither through the walls

Premium Member Love Is

Love is
Twisting you mouth from gravity's frown
To a smile just because...
Love is putting cupboard items
In order. 
Love is fighting justified urges to argue
And put your soul on the line
Ensure everlasting life,
While you agree to burn for their sins.

My 18 Year Old Son

N ever a harsh word spoken
I love you mom he says every day
C aring and considerate 
H appy and carefree
O n the ball about his chores
L ooking for food in the cupboard doors
A lways eating me out of house and home
S haring time with mom before he leaves home

Rain and dreams

No one caught your train
You seemed to be saying goodbye
He opened the letter
it said his best friend had died
and had left a cupboard of poems
Dreams so open
they lessen the pain
rain poureth
it seems to wash away the misery
like a family lesson, 
learned by hard fact

Falsehood Is Shy Truth

Falsehood is shy truth
he hides when the sun shines
whispers gently in moonshine
runs away from smart guests
peeps up sleeves in discussion
lives in cupboard in boardrooms
hangs in the roofs courts
dances and celebrates in dark
comes out in bedrooms
shouts when victims departs

I Will Never Forget

I will never forget
that day you made me
to eat hands, buttocks
of pupils in Class Five,
the ones who did not
compute the sums right.
Yet you forgot  that day
to take me back to the tree
you plucked me from
Instead,  kept me safely
in lonely school cupboard!
Let me too enjoy freedom

What a Life

Green grass.
Cloudless, starry skies.
Fresh midnight air.
The rustle of leaves on summer trees.
A cozy home.
Food in the cupboard.
A good dog by your side
And a handsome, loving man in your bed.
If life was this easy,
We'd all be wearing diamonds and pearls
And drinking $50 champagne.

Duck

he sits on the roof
of the building opposite
I sit on the sofa
glimpsed from the window; 
him with his feathers
me with my skin; 
themes tune
and blossom falls
from trees
like plates don't fall
out of the cupboard
and we could go on
like that for hours
such
was the relationship
we had

Premium Member Emotions Get the Best of Me

Calamity in the cupboard.
Little tornado in the hall.
A lava lamp under my bed
Enormous flames now, big and tall.

I understand the need to crawl,
To get low, and to not scream and bawl
But the fire is scaring me in an assortment of ways,
So I am doing all of the things wrong, and I mean all….
