Short Spotty Poems

Lettie was very spotty
Itching drove her potty
She bought some cream
Now she's serene
No longer spotty or dotty...

Sandy loved eating candy.
Andy got drunk on brandy.
Too much sugar made Sandy spotty.
Andy's drinking drove him potty.
They need to change their modus operandi....

Some writers struggle
Coughing up words in a painful way
I feel a bit of their agony as I read their missives
A jumpy spotty difficult flow is painful to readers too...

I’ve googled symptoms of 'diseasles'
As Peter has got awful sneezles
His todger is spotty
And so is his botty
I wonder if Pete’s got the measles

Ok, so you say you love me
Just to clarify, does that include:

Bad hair days,
blonde days,
'I hate work' days,
spotty days,
ugly days,
fat days,
'Does my bum look big in this' days,
grumpy days,
sick days,
sad days,
too much to drink days,
can't get out of bed days,
and the 'I'm not talking to you' days?...

The first time you see yourself
You cry
Torn between bewilderment
Flattened by view

All white skin
Pink and spotty
The remnants
Of teenage residue

The hormones on overload
Insanity has come early
So easy to bite

Everyone pisses themselves laughing
When you remove your clothes
Now you never undress in the light...

Old Man, all alone
remembering his bawling baby, being sick
and of spotty girls with golden hair
daydreaming of pink blancmange and pies


Friday nights
once he was a lad full of brass
punching the sulphate air
His wrongs as horny as cover

The autumn leaves  intertwine
The still sleeper
with no clocks to chime
The night ascends
broken by the screeching  owl...

Sue's polka dots dress is so spotty
So tiny, it just skims her botty
Long legs, what a pair
Made all the men stare
They ogle and call her a hotty

Her outfit one day got soaked wet
It shriveled Sue was quite upset
Now exposing her tush
All the blokes turned to mush
Her peepshow pleased them you can bet!

She has spotty skin

Whereas he has warts on his 

He has freckles

She has boils

One's too oily

One's too dry

He is too pasty

Her's is too dark

She is too yellow

One's is patchy

The others too red

Yet for all of these many differences

There is one thing they all have in common

Is we are 1 and all

Universally unhappy in our own

Skin , within and without...

Sleeping during the day,
staying awake at night;
opposite rhythm does harm, 
I gulp down strong coffee...
my body shakes like leaves
blown by a chilly breeze.


I don't wonder where
the spotty moon went;
I ponder on words:
leaking fate to loss... 
loneliness to cost. 
 

Owls look too sad
without moon rays;
they have no friend...
would that be me?


They know that
opposite
rhythm does harm.


They feel
fear, then


flee....

A small hand tugs fingers -
my son and I,
plus 30 time-traveling years –
both of us pulling together for once.

The wooden horses spin,
just missing each other
by decades.

An appaloosa stomps the air.
"Look daddy the spotty one leaps highest!"
Little fingers spring open, gallop away
toward the carousel.

A five-year-old boy lifts me,
onto the smooth saddle,
holds me tight,
as a memory goes around again.

When floods come freely will we know
to place a dam below and catch the overflow?

When eyes are dim and spotty
will we ring the potty?

I wonder....when skin begins to sag
will our minds begin to freeze and lag?

Or will we run across the creek
our long lost family to seek?

Will we laugh for laughters sake
Or will we bake a cake?

When floods come freely
and age creeps higher sneekily....
Will we friends seek?...

I don’t have a favourite,
I love them all
Shorty and sporty
Petite and tall

Dowdy and flashy
High and mighty
Shy and vivacious
Safe and flighty 

I love Juicy Lucy
Smelly Kelly,
Scraggy Maggie
And Silly Millie

I love Gay Mei
And Straight Kate
Spotty Dotty
And Plain Jane’s great

So is Jolly Molly
Clingy thingy
Obese Louise
And Skinny Ginny 

I love Boozey Suzie
Sweaty Betty and all 
I love them long,
I love them short, I love them tall...

few colors, but green
a Fall stand out

spotty, the Southern reds
beautifully shaped

teeny, not trite
the fallen

up North, pleased
by ample leaves

the tumbler of hues
crimson and gold

over my shoes
as if snow

trees on both sides
of the streets, a treat

still, I know
my yard will overflow

raring to be raked
slurried by depths

piled on tarps
pulled down slopes

agonized over
forgotten the sparkle

the jumping pile
of a cheering child
