Short Milks Poems

an actor he was typecast

a soldier hit by a blast

but as of right now

he milks a sad cow

farming a dramatic past.

Passive in passion, taking in the sweet scent of the bloom
Milks the serenity of an environment, within nature
Rides the ferocious wind that formats the raging ocean

I open their ketchup pouches.
I open their milks.
I open their napkins
Until the mama girls make themselves known.
Then they do all the opening for the tables.
Amazing their kindergarten classmates....

Melon milk soothes the ache in my throat,
I cannot scream, I am deaf,
It seems so surreal in a reality of nothing real.
Actually it seems more real than anything,
Anything I know of,
Graveyards of regrets and sorrows,
Tomorrow,
May not arrive....

Pale mother is back. She looks tired.

"Where's the baby?"

A shadow walks across her eyes.
"I'll make some Corn Flakes."

"The milks gone off mum,
where's baby?"

She sits down in an easy chair,
picks up a woman's magazine.

"Gone off", she says....

Every animal in the lot came by for a hi
They wanted to see Hilda milk her baby Cy
Cy was okay with it, not a bit tit shy
And of course, the kitty was sitting by.

Hello! Said Hilda, welcome one and all.
She got a stool as she sat down in the stall.
The chickens began clucking, the cow gave a moo.
I wish I had been there, bet you do too....

Warm milk, babies at breast.
Cold, cartoned milk for rest.

Vitamin D, calcium for teeth,
And bones. Cow's milk's sweet.

Goat's milk and silky soy milk.
All good. Some like buttermilk.

It's clear, it is nature's way.
Some need bottles, that's ok.

In homes, in zoos, in the wild.
Milk, wholesome milk for child.

Grown ups should drink it too.
Not a doubt, it's good for you....

Charm crafts cheer
Dream draws dear


Meet milks minds
Feel frames find


Craft clear choice
Prize proud poise


Lift lines loud
Pay price proud


Set sure spree
Feel form free


Lure lifts laughs
Some strange stuff


Etch each end
Sense sure stand


Glimpse grand glow
Kind keep knows


Heap heart health
Word warm wealth

Within the bright cerulean lit skys, a ball of innocent happiness emits from the murky clouds. It's happiness melts onto what we call earth and it milks the darkness of its pride. It drains the shadows of its slumber and provides radiant warm to the thirsty fields. It announces its precense through sheer rays in our window pane. Golden, it is, indeed. On low souls it subconsciously lifts, and burns its way into our hearts.

Thank you lord for this grain,
you helped it grow by giving rain.
Thank you lord for this fruit,
you made good soil for a trees' first root.
Thank you lord for this meat,
you showed the animals that we could eat.
Thank you lord for this vegetable,
you gave light that made growing able.
Thank you lord for this dairy,
you taught of the milks and cheese that vary.
Thank you lord for this whole meal,
gratefulness is what we feel....

eh…,heh…,neh….
infant’s snivel!
can be put down
in many ways,
in different languages,
but no more than mother
could comprehend its needs,
yeah,
no more than mother!
eh…,heh…,neh….
mother milks child!
eh…,heh…,neh….
mother plays with child!
eh…,heh…,neh….
mother embraces child!
oh god!
impossible to tell apart, 
the same yell,
let know mother 
the different needs of it!
motherhood!
noble and sublime!
motherhood!
undoubtedly,
an exalted state....

He kicked the chair beneath his feet
  Freeing himself
Forever in motion
  Forever elevated
Forever caught in time
  My brave solider
How sweet are your cries
              Sweet as the cinnamon 
On pancakes you told me to try
  the first time we met.
The mixtures still fresh 
  yet the milks sour    cow’s got his tongue out 
your dead laughter fills the walls
   the rope tightens.
So his glassy stare turns to stone
  A smile whipped and cracked upon his face.

You’ve never looked so beautiful....
