Dinner With The Folks

for the designated rendez vous
underneath the sun dial
must wear regulation dress code
(no bare feet or board shorts)
for a night's chit chat of platitudes
calibrated with modron madness
and unwelcome advice



a teenage boy
must tread carefully with regard to topics
be mindful of inferior unacceptable behaviour
speak with clarity instead of grunting and
click the switch to  infinitesimal
use of vulgarity when telling jokes
to his folks

For My Lover Returning To His Wife...Anne Sexton

An Erasure Poem based  on Mindlovemisery's Menagerie Prompt




" For My Lover Returning To His Wife " ...Anne Sexton

She is all there
She was melted carefully for you
Let's face it . I have been momentary
A bright red sloop in the harbor
She sees to oars and oarlocks for the dinghy
has placed wild flowers at the window at breakfast
She is solid
As for me I am a watercolor
I wash off

Wordle

she gave him  many chances
but he did not call nor write
she no longer exists for him
the damage done
remains  beyond repair

being of fiery disposition
both lash out in a billow of flames
unable to deal with conflict adding to
unresolved misery locked in a frame
of frustration

neither have the craft nor inclination
to yield surrender or sing psalms
of forgiveness 

with considerable effort feverish determination
and a little luck
they will soon become just  a dim memory
to each other
and wordles will be more difficult to write
with only gardening and gossip as  inspiration

life imitates art
confused butterfly seeks
consolation

cerebral contest?
puss knows he'll win by hook or

big fan of david and goliath

Vive La Difference

i love her

if not-her sister will do
a family affair

Turning Japanese

theme velocity hag pry lift kimono
audible puzzle sardonic corridor moan insolent

her expression- puzzling
his -  sardonic
setting the theme
for the encounter

he insolently lifted
her kimono
in the corridor

the inevitable progressed
with velocity
thrashing about
in the throes of passion
tipping over a potted palm
and a few bamboo screens



her audible moan disturbing
the hag with prying eyes
who lived
behind the paper thin walls
across the way

Dolce and Gabbana

bravissimo to Dolce and Gabbana
for acknowledging the beauty of real women
using nonnas as models
for making simple gowns that suit
all women




for upholding belief in the value
of the traditional family

 
  marriage and children             

 

Bringing Home The Bacon

soaked in the city
thoughts of you dry at home
hot cocoa and cake

dreaming of slippers
hot toddies and towels
in my dreams of course

Mors Vincit Omnia

feeling  their presence

American Apple Pie

Andrea Kowch

 no time to brush her hair
 now an impenetrable bird's nest
 hitchcock's crows waiting outside
 they can smell death a mile off

american apple pie
gives a new meaning to
the term 'melancholy'

Melancholy

sunset in the city
embers of the dying day
another night alone

Spring

frog peeks out
from his water lily pad
it's spring already

 iconic scripturient plead callus welter bottle
panic anguish hoarse grisly serrate urban

mindlovemisery's menagerie

the anguish and panic in his hoarse grisly voice
over a serrated callus
pleading for a bottle of whiskey to alleviate the pain
was just another example of the urban indulgence
of a scripturient icon
making a welter over a relatively simple injury
with all the accompanying theatrics

Reverie In ABAB

 BJ's Shadorma and Beyond
 Mindlovemisery's Menagerie



he loved his garden quite a lot
cooking the veggies all home grown
contented comfy with his plot
his family daily rang his phone

life had been good and kind to him
alas there was something missing
he was loved revered by his kin
but still craved her lovely kissing 

Honey Dew Hunt

An Erasure Poem
Lines from
Always For The First Time
Andre Breton ( 1896 - 1966 )



Hardly do I know you
I perhaps shall never meet you
You pretend not to know
I am watching you
It's a honey dew hunt
Two lovely legs caught in stockings
My finding the secret
Of loving you
Always for the first time


C'est a peine de je te connaisse de vue
Je ne te rencontrerai peut - etre jamais
Tu fais semblant de ne pas savoir que je t'observe
C'est une chasse a la miellee
Deux belles jambes croises prises dans le hauts bas
J'ai trouve le secret
De t'aimer
Toujours pour la premiere fois

madcap blister strap aureole accident howl
gnaw flagellation craven scale victim shelf




madcap meryl
self flagellating  victim
of a persecution complex
an imaginary martyr's  aureole
strapped to her head
a craven A hanging from her lips
tipping the scales on the heavy side
looking like an accident about to happen
thumbed  through
the blistered gnawed copy
of her favourite ginsberg poem " howl "
stolen from the library shelf
