today i returned to see the ducklings on the canal
i was not the only one cooing like an idiot at their adorableness,
so i feel no shame

matching duck with a fruit,
finding one that would suit:
combine it with citrus sinensis!

at MobileRead, the mélange
mused at making her chocolate dessert

The Power of YouTube

You watch the crazy Arabs drift
Their sedan wildly across the road.
The driver drifts into the sand,
The car flips—a graceful flip—
Catches, and spins with a flourish,
Flinging the passengers out into
A wild floating apex, a guttural scream.

At the computer screen, a horrified breath
Quickly stirs the lining of your lungs.
You hit replay, your heart quickens,
Your torso tightens around your adrenal gland.

The horrible scream, the fleshy thud
Then brightened silence—you are alive.

It's been a pig of a week,
Swine the World over,
It's a take-over bid they seek.

It's been a pig of a week,
Sneezing here and there,
But better, by far, than bankers' tweeks.

It's been a pig of a week,
Mexico or Novel, what a choice to pick,
Better, by far?, just porcine with no beak.

Ahhh-tish-hoo,
It's been a pig of a week.

Flu it has flown, right round the World,
Driven to seek,
To bite the meek,
It's been a Pig Of A Week......

It's been a Pig....

It's been a pig of a week,
Swine the World over,
It's a take-over they seek.

It's been a pig of a week,
Sneezing here and tissuing there,
But better, by far, than bankers' tweeks.

It's been a pig of a week,
Mexico or Novel, what a choice of a name,
Better, by far?, just porcine with no beak.

Ahhh-hhh-tish-shoo;
It's been a pig of a week.
They've been hogging the limelight,
The Swine!
Every airway, newsprint and chat show.
Humanity finds, it's in a fight.

Flu it has flown, right around the World,
Driven to seek,
To smite the weak,
It's been an absolute Pig Of A Week......

Mistress

Sitting primly
looking at me;
Mistress She,
living free.

Eyes wide
gazing, from
pools of azure
between hooded lids.

She winked, once, then twice,
her tongue curled, and lingered
on her lips.

Fully raptured
totally captured.

and then she gave the game away;
a smile
a yawn;
My dear,
what sharp teeth you have,
Little Pussycat !

BookishDreamer · 05-05-2009, 02:39 PM

Oh GeoffC, I like that, especially "sitting primly".

I like it too! My Eudora email program rated it 3-hot-peppers for spicy language too!

holy mackerel, 3 chilli ?

edit: - hang on; is that bad ? or good ? .... erm ? spicy language ?

badgoodDeb · 05-06-2009, 02:27 PM

Well, Eudora puts chillis there to ask if you really mean to say something that inflammatory. Speaking about a person named Dick used to get flagged too....

The poem is really lovely!

GeoffC · 05-13-2009, 12:14 PM

May it pour with rain,
then down the drain,
washing away my brain
cells I no longer need,
now I am freed .....
from MobileRead !!!!

badgoodDeb · 05-13-2009, 02:22 PM

I hope this doesn't imply you are LEAVING us .... but it's a nice poem.

I should take a picture of my tocks, which have individual toes in them.

sizzling words across the page
burn, through rhyme to break the cage
of life; that’s often cruel.

characters chiselled paper deep
crafted, in hope to make us weep.
life’s forgive-less school.

wisdom words carry afar
written once, they say or jar
a tale of woe or joy, (may-haps even), cool.
