Short Kinfolk Poems

choose who we let in
can't choose kinfolk, we can friends
with a heart to lend...

Kindred means you're related;
kinfolk share an ancestry.
Kissin’ cousins can connect,
keep in touch with family,
kidding around just for fun.
Kindness respects privacy.
Kith and kin should share spirits.

Billy Carter was a sluggard I hear

   His kinfolk he did not always endear

      He embarrassed his brother

         And mortified his mother

            He cared not one whit as he nursed his beer!

In the morning I awoke
Why not have one more toke
So around I did poke
and that's no joke
Were the hell is my smoke
Now before I awake the kinfolk
There's something I must invoke
It's chicken I must choke
That means it's time to pee
And that you will not see
Is what that it causes, Is much glee...

And this one is quite the same...
So the kinfolk has gone off...
Does it matter?
No.....


Just ease over to the next town....
Where's a cracker barrel 
Or sisters of the south
.....and feast away 
Thanksgiving day....

An epic feast...


The following day is the first day if the Christmas season...
Not black friday...

Jes' a rollin' chinwag
in th' tongue o' sea scallywags
th' piratin' yarn tha' ne'er did birth
no' fanciful, nor folly
jes' stew'd up prob'ly
neithe' aimin' fer side-splittin' mirth

Tharrr be nary no Cap'n
me gums be a-flappin' 
th' kinfolk in verse ter regale 
'tis no genius at play 
th' scribe o' yon day 
be feath'rin' a no'sensical tale...

Christmas


Every
Christmas,
our close
kinfolk
arrive.
We share
our love,
great gifts,
good food.
Round the
table,
we all
hold hands
and pray;
give thanks
and praise
that now
one more
Christmas
was shared
jointly
with love.

Kinfolk so long remembered
of fine people, so gentle were they.

Now only a handful remains,
some gone on to a better place.

Memories of them so precious
of those kinfolk of mine.

Sitting around the table
eating our cares away,

so many Thanksgivings
ago seems like yesterday.

Kinfolk miss you so,
thinking of you on this day.

Kinfolk love you and
wished you were here.

Wooed and wedded with a devil's kiss
the renegades are here; not blessed 
on any heaven's list nor bedded 
in the womb of common decency.

Men are bleeding, truth and beauty
losing their validity; legless, heartless, 
headless, mindless, sheer insanity.

Humanity withers; kinfolk are reeling,
dealing their brothers, stealing 
another look over their shoulders, 
trust but a fantasy, justice a dream....

The picture of grand perfection 
Which could be known as the perfect connection

Sitting on a cloud of softness and rest
And taking your mind on a cool calming quest

Rivers flowing of milk and honey
Which is much more valuable than any money

Spirits flowing so happy and free
A wonderfully marvelous site to see

Reuniting  with kinfolk both young and old
Oh what a wonderful site to behold

Free from all the world's pain and misery
That's what Heaven is like to me...

A family get-together 
We're all here
It's a unique occasion 
At first it may appear 
Like an insane invasion 
Compensating for lost cheer
With family, held dear
Simply, be prepared to babble 
For loads of kinfolk, prattle 

It's awesome to see 
Everyone, spinning up a memory  
Touching our thoughts in say
Past time, thinking back find
Like yesterdays, we visit today
Walking magically, faraway
Through, recalling mind 
All paying tribute, without delay 
To a reminiscing find...
