Short Sparky Poems

table of pies and baskets of scones
catnip for Sassy and Sparky gets the bones
sweetness in the air and flour on the floor
home is my love and a whole lot more....

Before Duke shakes a leg, he sniffs around
Some doggies chase squirrels like Harry the hound
Sparky crying mutt
Says he’ll bust his gut
Begs for more pee-trees in the park playground

Here lies Martin Jacob "Sparky" Trent
Service Station Attendant
Smoking while fueling 
Can be quite grueling
A flick of the Bic and away Sparky went.

For Jan’s contest

Poor old Sparky suffered bad from the runs
Always eating quorn rings with veggie buns
Never once would he chew meat 
Mushrooms grew on his loo seat
Now uses bean bags to dump his gross tons...

Starlit skies
		pouring pep
                A cozy aura 
  rides the seas ~ from the Northern yonder
     Keeping time with the waves, her knack
         Yawing, her sways wake another bay

the speedphone in your head
sparky and light trailed
as a dancer with closed steps
you open doors in the night,

sometimes a ghost, a lost thought
your pages are torn and mixed,
burnt as a nut, you`re a paperchase
of loose clues, brillant and wild,
running with the comets to dawn...

I know I'm 41 now,
But the kid just trying to be silly,
Make people laugh,
Make them lose themselves,
Find themselves,
That kid is still manning the controls.
He gets nudged, knocked, wrangled at times
But we all know, all those outboarded 
Shadowy figments know, he's the only one
Who can make a spark in the reaching darkness.
In fact he renames the darkness and calls it a blessing....

Electric Bill
There is a person called Bill
Electric Bill for the father was drunk
If you can think of it
Then it probably happened
One too many beers
Time with a local gal
The sex was good but forgotten
For both were ing loaded
9 months later happy mother's day
Electric Bill was born
It doesn't mean he's rich
Or has loads of money
Or is a sparky
But call him Lec
He wants to be an electrician
When he grows up...

Quietly sneaky
you came
Thunderstorms
in my heart
Yet you left
me alone
unset and alone
You were the moon
Now i ask delicate
why when i hear your
name i can't forget
the words on you mouth
those blue eyes staring
inro mine unashamed
I found new hope
untouched 
buti can't shake you away
when i hear you name
and your sparky attitude

but i will keep on 
romoving your spell
on my soul
for there is always the
sun when the moon fail...
