Jackfu, loved your creepos poem. I should have chimed in earlier.


THE GAME

I grow weary of the game
you and I play every week.
We arrive at school
overly groomed, exchanging
wide crescent moon smiles.
It seems no matter how
awkward the shuffle,
we deal our best to each other.

But in evenings, I ponder
a mute phone and empty weekends.
I’m too glacial to first
cut the deck because I
still remember at twelve
leading Johnathon
my most vulnerable card,
too late discovering as
he trumped it with a club,
his void in hearts.

THE VALLEY OF THE ECHO RETORT

it was one of those cold damp days.
the cold gets into your bones.

I walked up to the top of the hill.
Looking over the ridge I shouted.

I'am.
(echo)what are you?
I'am, I replied.
(echo) So!.
I'am, I replied.
(echo) who cares?
I'am, I replied
(echo) your voice sours the air.
I'am, I replied
(echo) you do not know?
I'am, I replied.
I'am, I replied.
I'am, I replied.
I walked down the hill.
happy in knowing what I'am.


(sorry about this one. way too many late night movies)

Charlton Heston
Made many a western
And nobody could stifle
His love for a rifle...

Can’t argue with that, Bill - his fondness for a fondant was legendary.

And thanks Joan.

He always insisted the sponge was soaked overnight, to make it properly moist.

I read that once in the book Its a Spongehouse: How to make the best trifles - by Chuck Heston.

Oh well if we're clerihewing,

Jack Palance
Forsook underpants;
Except in City Slickers
For which he wore frilly knickers.

LOOKING IN THE DARK
nothing at first glance.
my eyes adjust.
monitoring the sounds in the air.
moonlight reflexes off the lake.
cold wind takes my soul.
the trees reach out.
my reflexes slow.
the mind plays my life in review.
oh! my I just got 4 stars.
well at least the National Enquirer liked my life.
out of the dark, that sound came.
repeating over and over. never stopping.
arf,arf,arf,arf.
Ok, ok, I heard my voice project.
Fred the dog, knows me too well.
arf,arf,arf. Good dog.good dog.

THE WRITING TEACHER

“Life’s a rough draft,”
said my writing teacher.

O.K. I get it.
I ain’t no dummy.
The final publishable
copy means…Umh?

All right. I’ll keep on
revising. Often. Lots.
I’ll even join an edit group,
listen to their advice.

Want me to put some pausing
commas in my mouth?
Add elaborative details
to my brain?
Destroy my passive voice
with peers?
Capitalize my Heart?
Spell Conscience correctly?
Done.

I’ll even drop fun fragments,
committing to full sentences.
Afterall, don’t think the
Big One in the sky is
going to harass me as easily
as the teacher in front of me.

Got it all figured out.
God gives final essays
only one of two grades.
Can’t figure a way to
coerce Him/Her
into grading on a curve
or just letting me pass
with a D-.

dear Joan
why do want to go through all that trouble of , "" ? ect ect when you can more fun by just using run-on sentences just like that little bunny they just keep going and going I gave up on English writing when the teacher tried to explain a dangling participle I was left dangling in my brain on what did this mean if your lazy person like me it will exclude me from the publication field and most high paying jobs this will leave time to go to that free college down the street also you will solve any worry you have about your grade so just get on the bandwagon and do a 5k run on for some charity I hope you can see your way to my way of thinking

I see your way of thinking, Doggie. I'm fine if you run those sentences on and on and on and on and on and on...……………………………………...

I’ve fallen a little behind on this thread - two great pieces of work from Joan and the Dog. We should self publish!

There's a thread on the other side about bashing CDs with a hammer.
What
I'd like to do instead is to bash that incessant spammer
bot.

Thanks, TG. Doggie and I appreciate you.

I'll bet there are limericks out there waiting to take on the subject of spammer bots.
