Short Extras Poems

in the dream I had 
many appeared
extras plenty
but loved ones too

all had seen
that same dream
but only one got it
others had no clue...

A camera chasing starlit cowboy

With his permanent Polaroid entrance

Eyes sweeping the paparazzi parade

Movie-dust circles his still silhouette

Extras edging in the dimming shadows

Of his passing left-over soft shining...

life 
 this passing through 
 strive, strain 
 to attain 
 standards arbitrary 
 success, succession 
 blinded to beauty 
 by beauty 
 miss the point 
 until the end. 
  
 perhaps 
 we are extras 
 in the dreams 
 of one, who waits 
 to be born....

Tacos are fine when wrapped tight
top with all the extras
onions, lettuce and some cheese
served with love 
It is the kind of snack 
I want to 
taste!

we fell to the ground from high
so the screams are heard
was hard to understand why
in their scenario were extras

they gave secret to you
they dressed in a dirty coat
when you have time you wash
suddenly became sad
the truth behind the misty roads

to hear very words
tired to  our souls
half-asleep we're

leave us off the hook...

She finds her sister on his plate 


She tiptoed onto the floor to his door

her heart rotten to the core as a hoar

Devils lead, she entered onto his bed

stripping her ted, nestling next to his head

Sister's mate lusted for her goods in crate

cheating fate for some extras for his plate

What makes the world a better place?
Okay, healing hands of grace,
And people with a smiling face,
Maybe, if you want to go that way,
A humble community of Faith,
A simple life, no extras today,
A helping hand along the way,
A life of harmony and grace,
"No hard feelings" and walk away,
Each one of us today,
Can make our world a better place!...

I don’t need too much in life – 
A book, a bench, a breeze,
Some friends and family for support,
A bagel and some cheese.

Of course, the extras add a lot – 
The coffee, ice cream, beer,
The pension I can live on from
A long, fulfilled career.

As time goes by, I realize
There is less that I desire
And very little, therefore,
That I actually require....

I was a Holistic Therapist
with oils and creams galore.
most clients were lovely
but some you had to ignore.
One came asking for 'extras'
which i answered with a threat
I said I'd throw his clothes outside
which I'm sure he would regret.
The thing that really bothered me
made me want to beat him down,
wasn't just the suggestion,
but he only offered me ten pounds!...

The echoes in cartoons,
The sermons in static,
How every chorus begs us
To wake, or vanish.

Maybe God is a director.
I don’t know.

But the script is too perfect,
And the extras too hollow,
Like the background forgot
How to breathe on its own.

There goes the Baker. 
Popping pills in his blue buggy 
with one red ball and another blue dangling from the rear view.

Life is like a video game in a way.
The people are just code,
Programmed to do certain things by their creators.
Everyday is like a new level,
With new challenges for us to overcome.
Some people walk around trying to get more points,
While others go straight for the end,
And skip all the extras.
Life is like a video game,
Yes it’s true.
But there is a difference, because in reality,
You only get one life,
And then it’s Game Over....

She chapped my door
Said she was a whore
She was in the area
Offering discounts and more
I was a bit taken aback
Usually it was double glazing, broadband and that
Or Jehovah's witnesses
Into the night
She even took cards
Explained the APR
Extras and all
S&M on a Saturday night
Would I like a call
I must admit
Impressed I was
She was a woman with a cause
Sadly, the good lady screamed
Who’s at the door
I told her a whore
Bloody Jehovah's she swore

Life/Death
Written: by Tom Wright

Life, I liken, 
To an endless stream of days;
All neatly sequenced,
 Like a series of one act plays.
At God’s final curtain call,
 Terminal bows are taken.
Remaining are scores of extras, 
Abruptly shaken;

Beyond this final sunset, 
A secured door is found.
Judgment at once is meted,
Mercy will no longer abound.
Each person bears a key, 
But few will fit the lock.
Eternity has now begun, 
With no more clock.
