Ware Poems


Premium MemberMarkita and Her Head Ware

Markita wore the most stunning head wear to church
No one could see from behind her, unless they sat on a perch.
Pretty soon others were wearing competing oversized hats.
They were puffy and sticky, none of them was ever flat.

The minister had to finally make a plea to his congregation.
They all looked at Markita because of her known reputation.
Markita decided to shave her head and forgo the hats that day.
Other women followed suit, even a mohawk,  for she led the way.

Be Ware

In the dawn of deception, who can perceive what is real?
Do things appear benevolent or do they come to pillage and steal?
When one gives from the heart, the receiver sometimes wants even more.
It is often wise to bolt, lock and secure your door.

Be careful of the ones who call themselves your friend.
For evil is on the prowl and lurks around every bend.
Let the heart be receptive and partner with the mind.
Always be cautious and careful but also be courageous, courteous, considerate, and kind.

A Hare For a Mare

It was to prove Some Sort of Snare,
When he, got the Gift of Hare
While he’d wanted to keep A Mare…

He wasn’t sure how he would fare,
Whether he wouldn’t be left bare;
What The Hell knows he of Hare,
Except its furs not like our hair…

Perhaps, he should sit on some chair
To reflect on the gift - Quite Rare
And see what and what he might dare
To sell off The Mare like a ware
And The Hare kill in Public Glare
To be rid of The Stupid Pair!

When I Shall Begin To Care

What do I care
When at me eyes stare 
Or at me glare
And I safe from every snare? 

Why should I ever care, 
When you can’t hurt my hair 
Or much worse things dare:
The Terrible the Unfair?

Begin I shall to care
With a dispossessed mare 
Or a made-away ware 
And I can’t find it anywhere.

Premium MemberBee-Ware

I think that I shall never see
  an insect scary as a bee
Sister screams, she spots a spider
  but bees are lethal when they bite her...

I cower at bees' buzzing sound
  as they circle round and round
If I try to wave 'em away
  They attack, without delay...

Logic tells me not to cower
  Bees are needed to grow flowers ~
Let reason try another tack
  Lest reason also BEE attacked

The Saga of Suzanne the Snowflake and Cyril the Racist Ware Squirrel Part 3

continues ....
(for it 'twas by him that she was awoken). 
'Dont listen to hate, or give in to fear, 
He said with a countenance kindly, 
remember your Vedas and mantras, 
Let your be life be lived for the many, 
and not for the few, 
don't be led into fascism blindly'! 
With these wise, timely words in her ears she awoke, 
And said by Krishna! I feel so much better, 
I must give to the poor and buy the big issue 
off that bloke, 
the one that's got the red setter. 
Now she's totally restored to full yogic health, 
and she volunteers at the hospice on Sundays, 
'Social welfare should be funded by taxes on wealth!' 
She says now, and every Monday 
Suzanne can be found (when no one's around) 
doing good deeds, 
for strangers, 
by stealth. 
Gone is the curse of the ware squirrel, 
but, what of Cyril? 
Surely, there must be some news? 
The rumour is that he joined Conservative Home, 
And now works for Boris in Tory HQ.

Be Ing Ware

i dont know
my color
i think
it's

yellow
sunshine
soft LED bulbs
some kinds but not

all daffodils
filling a room
with feelings
and good in

tent
but then
entering a
space a place

with weight
surely red
anger in
it's face

so i state
so it's known
before anything
don't try to break my

aura

Premium MemberChalk-Ware Brain

My mother had a friend who had chalk-ware decorations in her kitchen. She had inherited them
From her grandmother, maybe even her great-grandmother. They were from the forties.
A chalk-ware peach, a chalk-ware apple, a chalk-ware orange, a chalk-ware banana.
Cook, butler, maid, stove, refrigerator, sink, all in chalk-ware.
When she reached her nineties she was still in her own home, but making a few little mistakes.
She called my mother one time to complain because she had put her chalk-ware decorations into
The dishwasher to “freshen them up”, but after the dishwashing cycle, they had disappeared.
My mother told me about it, and we laughed.
All those little wires in the bottom of the dishwasher, my mother said.
We laughed again.
Chalk-ware brain, I thought.
I wisely kept this to myself.

Fair Ware and Tare

Golf courses will have ways that are fair;
Rivers cut through due to ware and tare; 
Must be saying, 
Here much golf playing; 
Does anyone have an eagle they can spare.

A Ware Wolf

Dedicated to 12 innocents killed by a gunshooter in West Cumbria.

A killer vindictive staunch, trivial systallic gush.
Violate grumble wish washy starling a virent push.
A Wheeler dealer syncopated steadfast ware wolf,
Gurgitation gusty thorough fare tripudiate brush.
Tirailleur timorous tintinnabulation whiffle tingle.
