Poet Introduction
I'm steadily learning while slowly gaining moving ever forward one step at a time👣
Hi Ho Hi Ho...
hi ho hi ho
winter sucks it sure does blow
hi ho hi ho
sleet and ice makes for slippery woe
hi ho hi ho
my dog sure goes nuts in all the snow
hi ho hi ho
I wish to stay fucked up in all it's glow
hi ho hi ho
It's off to post I now will go...

Learning To Love Yourself...
needing desperately to get a grip on my life I realized I had to learn to love myself
I couldn't recall a single instance of ever even liking let alone loving myself
knowing how detrimental this was to future enrichment I felt a sense of fear overshadow me
I thought long and hard about compliments I'd received over the years disregarding my personal opinion
one thing no matter who I came across was always the same my gawd awful thick frizzy mane of curls
wanting nothing more than to forget the whole idea I knew...

LISTEN UP David_Macleod...
sweet, sweet friend of mine, I sorely miss and am worried about you.
I hope you are doing a bit better than expected and your pain is somewhat tolerable. more importantly, I hope your spirit is dealing with it at least moderately okay.
I've also been out a bit, I think I'm back now. it saddens me when I check my updates, carefully scanning, realizing your still ill. I miss not being greeted by new poems of yours.
oh my friend what you did to my emotions, now that was fucked up. every poem had a different topic, I was laughing my ass off then you'd write something...

KEENING...
Half asleep, I ignored the warning. Ice pervaded while sirens permeated, lil SPOOKS keening rising amidst the chaos.
Stumbling and tripping over feet, landing hard on elbows and knees, lost, I cry out. Shudders rack our frame. Failed, I failed.
Warm familiar hands lift me up, steady me. It's him, our 'ol blue eyes. Silently he guides us into the darkened bathroom. Softly he leaves us.
Turning the hot water on, we step in. Fully clothed, in the dark, scalding water blankets us. Laying fetal, lil SPOOK is finally safe.
In KAT'S purring embrace, the lil boy...

COFFEE AND SMOKES...
Bliss has finally graced me with her presence.
Happily I light a smoke and get the coffee brewing.
Excitement blending with the yummy smells brewing in the air.
I have yearned for this very morning it seems an eternity.
Floating on air I concoct my coffee in it's massive mug and gather the troops and smokes.
Anticipation gaining speed, not even a tornado could stop me now.
Taking a deep breath I opened the door and giggled in delight.
Bright sunshine stung my eyes and warmth slapped my cheeks. I didn't even mind almost getting knocked off my...

BOYS...
Poor poor little pitiful boys
you must be uninformed
you were just my new toy
You must not get my name
I'm to old to play your game
insults and drama are lame
I only need you to play
but little boy you aim to slay
behind your drama your made of clay
my maturity wishes you well
so it's best you not dwell
having a new toy sure was swelll
{ To all cougars, including myselves, enjoy your shiny new toys. Best not to forget, they are...

MOONSHINE...
Ok this is how it goes, at least to my best of knowledge
First, I write, second, I edit & post, last but not least I post & edit
What a bore. This time I'm gonna just let it fly...
Old man winter has taken me hostage
I've lost focus how, when, where & why
All I do know for a fact
For the first time in a long time, I'm shit faced!
No jest, he picked me up & slammed me, in chains, across his shoulders.
Cold heartened sum of a bitch.
Swelling, joint pain, so on & so on, winter claims me hostage
I've no...

DIABOLICAL...
When thunder booms and lightning strikes
When animals quiver and children quake
A little some un some un diabolical is
Creep
Creep
Creeping
Thru
With eye's of ICE blue, the gypsy prophet opens her ICE infused blue lips
Speaking prophecies of the past, present and future
Honor
Death before dishonor
Retribution funded by contribution aided and abetted by street corner distribution
Politics
Love
Hatred
Racism

Eye's of ICE...
born into centuries of generations
embraced by darkness within my great great grandaddys land
an inbred innocent with ice blue eyes could be found
among the many seas of eye's of brown
she's the only gypsy the prophet a teller of bad blood
forced into fragmentation cradled by the steaming flickering light dancing in the chilled dark air
I'm the banded gypsy of five writing of
family
bloodshed
sacrifice
insanity
inbreeding
innocence
animals
children
clans
bonds
chains
forever running...
