the nappy filled and heavy

Garments flow and fall
River, cold, drinks naked girls
Red faced, swimming up...

boys, ruby hearts,
your blushing smiles absorb 
an ache buried within crimson

standing red faced,
a-blush in nakedness,
wrinkled satin shivers

supermarket bells
their strange clangor in the cold
the red-faced ringer
feet stamping    one    the other
while coins hit brittle    like ice...

As a teller in a bank, I once greeted a man
With a very cheery “good morning ma'am” 
Embarrassment followed
As hard I swallowed
Red faced, I said that kilt got me, hot damn...

There once was a young dentist called Claire
    Upon scanning a dental repair
    Very soon was red faced
    When she took in her haste
    X-rays showing her own derrière.

Belt up.

    She was one of those old baby boomers
    Who was constantly spreading false rumours
    But she found all along
    What she said was quite wrong
    Now red faced, she stopped dropping her bloomers.

Absent
By: Tom Wright

Having never been gifted,
with a lodestar.
Public speaking,
isn’t listed in my repertoire.
So I often stammer,
while feeling red faced.
Pursuing opportunity,
to exit, post-haste.

Red Faced


Barrel Bombs
From Soviet Tombs
The Reds smell blood
Watching it glow
Old friends hold hands
While the Soviet glories implode
The murder from above
In the name of inflation
Crimes in Crimea
Exported
To Syria

Putin
Red Faced...

See them gliding down the street
Like phantoms in the twilight
Chilling wind and rustling sheets
As pumpkins grin by firelight

Giggling ghouls in search of sweets
Red-faced devils and witches so green
Big black cats shout “Trick or treat!”
Magic words on Halloween....

On the tips of our leaves, a slight touch
a whisper to make us all blush
as it riffles our tresses
with icy caresses
our limbs going stiff
as we submit 
to Autumn’s
red faced
pall.

There was a young man name Dilly Willy
Pained with full belly for love of chilly
Burp, passed gas through his a.n.u.s
Though painful red faced gayness
Couldn't give up his chilly for his Lily

blowing
to cool
a spoon
of hot soup
alphabet soup
that is

no punctuation
all capitalizations
worse for learning
from hooked on phonics
cooked
in a tomato broth

randomly stirring
the red faced
surface
of the bowl
an edible 
epiphany

emerges
in bold face
type set
the likes
of being
spelling

I AM...

Dwight spied
fish fried

Full plate
he ate

Room for
much more

Beer found
he downed

Tenth glass
got gas

Ran to
the loo

Long queue
Pain grew

The worst!
He burst

That smell
like hell

Bad dish
of fish!

Pants got
huge spot

Red-faced
Disgraced

Got far
from bar

Sad plight
of Dwight...

THE MAN WITH SWOLLEN, RED FACE

Father of Elaine
                        The very quiet
                        The sad    sweet faced girl
Every night at sundown here he comes    weaving
Just slightly bent
With expressionless face

And next day at school…….Elaine?

I wonder what happens every night
When the red-faced man goes home to dinner?...

Damning report points
finger red-faced rogues flee now
the witch-hunt begins!


NB This is a dark wry tale with hints of humour and irony about reports in general.
Perhaps a story about fraud or financial oversight.

A yellow-toothed moon
      primps in the mirror
            of Mid-western ponds.

Cats
             snake in and out
of red-faced barns
                      gone mad.

In Kansas-land...
      in the operating room
            of your dreams,
morning comes
                    dawn-drawn
by six gold stallions
            half-stepping
                    toward eternity....

6-20-2012	I can't go on this way
				Just the edge of the beginning,I began to see,
				What was being said,was not what we had,
				Like a blue nose on a red faced clown,it's not the same,
				No matter how hard you try to explain,
				Kinda hard to be free when inside a cage,to keep in mind,
				I hardly knew you, your actions ruled over me,
				Until I broke away,now I live in the moon....

‘
I have forgot whatever you knew.
A victim of grey matter - Tabula Rasa
You wander into my mind
slam the door behind -
run headlong into a brick wall.
My head hurts with emotionally empty
empathy.
O the humanity!
Strange just got scary
my hairless bonce just got hairy.
I think I can,
I know I can....puff, then poof.
Out of steam.
Good day to you
red-faced being
I never knew....
