Short Midwives Poems

"Midwives and you looking at me,
Why are you happy at my arrival?
Are you here to kidnap me again?
Do you dream I am good tidings?
If you can open my heart’s basket
And read message  for the world
I hold here with me in confidence
None of you could rejoice anyway"

All listened, no one talked!...

Abuse not midwives,
When your wife is only 20,
Despise not the feeding hand,
That once made you full,
Break not the shoulder,
That you once leant on,
Heart break not a heart,
That loved you when in tatters,
Learn to do good,
Pay goodness for goodness,
For what goes around,
Come around unchanged.

Speaking Your Mind

Every time you 
don’t speak your 
mind these things happen:
snails do 
aerobics, flamingos update their 
details on
important apps, palm trees spill 
out Amish hats, combs beg to 
eat 
lemon pie, stools memorise 
flame thrower literature, and
gravy animals, who live in 
the clouds, help out 
swamped midwives.

"She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man."

What shall we make of Genesis 2: 23b
As it is written, it seems preposterous to me.

Time has proven quite the opposite is true
Despite how accepted the literalist point of view.

Midwives and OB-GYNs throughout our history's span
Have never brought a woman from the womb of a man.

They say it all ends well, 
but I’ve never danced to the tune of midwives. 
I do not share in the religion of living life in blind sight. 
Praise to the poets, 
the singers, 
the artists, 
the clinically ill.
those who see life in color. 
Curse the moralists, 
those who  mock the different 
those who see through monochrome lenses. 
Those are the ones who should be condemned,
left to them, 
The light will never shine
No reason to wake. 
And dreams nothing but dreams....
