• THE SKY & I CRY

    The sky keeps crying.
    Dry inside, I keep crying
    So nonstop, I’m also drying
    With the salt of my tears
    First, before dying of thirst
    From drinking ocean water.

    I’m Fire’s daughter, and Father
    Wasn’t pleased to see me spurned,
    Twisted, overturned, and diseased,
    Pleading with Drought to come out.
    But Drought isn’t a spout, or so
    It shouts each time I let rain out.

    How long was my hurricane season,
    And what’s the source of its reason?
    I can’t say WHY, all I can say is its
    Tenure is sure and has endured for
    Three years; the LAST ones without
    A shred of sun. How was it done?
    It wasn’t even partially fun!

    I experienced a dearth of worth, so
    Doom and gloom took over the earth
    To be my roomies. I became SO gloomy,
    I leaked until I achieved a record rate
    Of rainfall, a fact I can’t mitigate.
    I’m now sorry to prognosticate rain is
    Pain and its stains are my downfall.

    When I cry out a downpour,
    I breathe in the grim and poor
    And pour down even more.
    I close a door to stay indoors, only
    To start a flood of nothing good
    Coming any way anymore.

    I’m also vain, so I have to complain
    About my swollen and salty face:
    I need libations of hydration to erase
    The throbs of pain pelting my brain.

    These are my ā€œMonsoon Rains,ā€
    And if they don’t abate soon, best
    Make more room on Noah’s Ark, cause
    No one but Noah knows that I’m a
    Scaredy Cat who hides in the dark.

  • HALOS HIDDEN IN WORDS WRITTEN

    I worked on this poem too long,
    First written to savor the flavor
    Of a musical few with whom
    I’m currently smitten, since I need
    My lyrics heavy each time MY bevy
    Of tears grows into a levy and cries
    ā€œWill THIS be the day that I die?ā€

    My Jockey Team reached my streams, but
    I’ve smothered my screams, since my heart’s
    Wildest Pony dreams galloped away to be
    Sang by a stallion or mustang ANOTHER DAY.
    Most horses are only Hot for a Teacher, but
    Some Shameless varietie are equally eager
    For Heavenly Creatures.

    With Friends in Low Places, some steal sacred spaces
    But remain unable to see the hidden Halo marking
    The Fallen Angel no one is remarking is ā€œMe.ā€
    Why? I use my magic willingly to hide, fight,
    And abide in blessed and unmolested obscurity.
    So you’ll probably never see me on TV!

  • LOVERBOY AND PRETTY GIRLS

    After all the songs I’ve sung,
    LOVERBOY is deaf and dumb
    If he chooses to hide from this
    Beautiful Pink goddess TRYING
    To Raise Her Glass and Celebrate
    No longer celibate, but Romeo
    Chose another mate to date.
    He says her name is Juliette, and
    She exploded into his heart.
    The ā€œdice was loaded from the start,ā€
    So I guess she popped The Gambler’s
    (AKA ā€œThe Midnight Rambler’sā€)
    Buttons, costing ME more thanā€œnuttin!!ā€

    No, I was made a glutton for mutton,
    Perfect Crime and Punishment to the
    Extent I became such a Lost Cause,
    I had to Breathe, just breathe. I still
    Believe We Belong Together, but I’ve
    Been Hanging On For A Hero, and
    My Unanswered Prayers turn up zero.

    At least I’m not Killing Strangers, but
    I Danced With One, and I was Swept Away
    Like Tom Hanks and Wilson in Castaway.
    Tom’s married to Rita Wilson, by the way,
    Who, along with cousins, Anne and Nancy
    Wilson and family friend, KERI HILSON.
    I do the Pretty Girl Rock with all of them
    Because they’re Pretty and Drip like me,
    Since Pretty’s On The Inside, and our Out
    Sides make men trip with love for ā€œSHES.ā€

  • HEAVEN-SENT CHRISTINA

    I have a few friends I’m all in for, since
    They’re always there and always fair.
    Christina is one of the best of them, so
    Here’s a poem I wrote to note her
    Kindness, compassion, royalty,
    Loyalty, and heavenly fineness.

    She may appear tiny, but she’s mighty
    And down to earth, and though busy,
    She’s never dizzy nor in a tizzy,
    She’s merely pretty with a comely
    Demeanor which doesn’t demean her.
    So I’m sure you’ll agree there’s no angel
    More lovely than Christina Anywhereā£ļø

    Whether adoring on ground or soaring in air,
    She’s always the ā€œmas finaā€ angel there.
    She makes and brings food to my brood,
    Feeding us with her winning attitudeā£ļø

    It’s unfortunate earth angels must drink
    From water-thirsty aquifers which sink
    Us into another extended drought,
    Since apparently water’s running out!

    We need moisture to keep beauty in place,
    Everywhere and on the faces we
    disguise
    To keep our inner beauty unrecognized.
    Most guys in our town are clowns who
    Masquerade in costume as worthy grooms.

    Yet WE must polish our own haloes
    And wash our own wings, which are
    Very difficult things to do solo or down-low
    On ground, where we get no golden crowns!!
    This shoots us down without a sound,
    And it’s tragic not magic that our love is
    Always true, always free, and can’t be bought.

    This is why we were captured and caught,
    But if we each GOT a second chance,
    I want charm and romance with a man
    Who’s strong, tender, kind, and wise.
    Otherwise, other guys are deaf, dumb, and blind,
    Since few see the divine running through
    The feminine shine resting on us two.

    We’ve lived long lives and it’s our time.
    So I pray Heaven makes a way in 2025
    For Christina’s and my lonesome doves
    To surface with the purpose of making
    Our dreams come true, since that’s what
    Long-awaited soul mates love to do! šŸ˜‡šŸ’ž


  • CONFESSIONS OF A SCARY BITCH

    I’ll hunt you down
    And eat you up;
    I’ll screw your flesh,
    That’s not enough.

    I won’t stop there,
    I’ll eat your hair
    And poke your eyes.
    I’ll make you scared;
    You’ll try to hide.

    You will be found,
    I’ll be the one
    Who drags you down;
    Invades your corpse
    Until you’re stuffed.

    I’ll spear your head
    To take to town,
    Crawl through dead eyes
    Until Surprise!!!
    You’ll soon find
    You’re Dead and Blind.

    You thought me nice,
    You got me wrong.
    You thought me weak,
    I’m STEROID STRONG.

    I’ll search you out,
    You WILL be found;
    I’ll fill and drown
    Each coin and tear,
    Then wash them down
    With a brew of fears.

    I’ll find your corpse,
    There won’t be much.
    I’ll eat what’s left;
    Your bones will crunch.

    Don’t ask me to cry
    When I eat your lunch,
    Cause it’s YOUR time to die
    And I’ll tell you why:

    Your taste is vile.
    Your smell, rank and file.
    Your demeanor, much meaner,
    Is both infantile and coy.

    You masqueraded as a Man
    When you thought me a fan,
    But when shit hit the fan,
    You evaporated into a boy.

  • WHAT I INDELIBLY REMEMBER ABOUT SEPTEMBER

    If September eleven took folks to
    Paradise,Nirvana, and Heaven,
    Why does it still hurt our scared hearts
    Regular folks were forced to depart?
    I believe we’re collectively extremely sad
    Other moms, dads, and singles were
    Made to mingle, taking final breaths,
    United in a violent and horrible death.
    Though it makes me sick, I predict
    Americans will always think of 9/11
    Whenever we reminisce or remember
    The entire month of September.

    I can’t believe it’s been 23 years, and
    Infinite shed tears since that fateful day
    When innocence was forced to pay an
    Unquenchable debt held by the West
    To prove us neither ā€œbestā€ nor ā€œblessed.ā€
    So when Terrorism met Tragedy, it set
    Its sights of violence on Humanity, since
    Life-takers caused life-makers to meet
    Their Makers before God, Allah, and
    Mother Nature were ready, killed by the
    Steady hands of each man who disguised
    The villainous hatred within enemy eyes.

    Instead, the rest of us were numbed
    As lives succumbed on 9-1-1 when
    Terrorists weaponized the gift of flight,
    Provoking death at heaven’s heights
    While we all held our loved ones tight,
    Riveted as Terror saw no error in sight
    When planes were targeted to inflame
    The gilded might of the Twin Towers.
    It didn’t hold the structural power
    In that desperate early hour.

    In freedom and safety, I currently bask,
    So I feel tasked to ask how we can ever
    Forget what terrorists don’t regret?
    They crashed our own commercial jets
    To scratch at a fanatical debt held
    Solely and absurdly by the West.
    My condolences to the many families
    Of victims who soothed global hostilities
    Temporarily, unfairly, and arbitrarily.

    Those of us NOT in the air or anywhere
    Near Ground Zero weren’t heroes, since
    We’re still alive to ā€œbe all we can be,ā€ at
    Liberty and free to believe we can achieve
    Our wildest dreams, rather the nightmare
    Of the screams of those dying and scared,
    Huddled into puddles and gasping for air.
    So I guess it’ll always haunt me,
    Confuse, and mentally taunt me
    That, unwillingly yet vicariously,
    Strangers paid my debt for me.

  • UNLEASH THE FRIGHT AND LET’S FIGHT!! šŸŽ€šŸ’–

    Breast cancer is life’s final answer!
    I’ve survived with no children to survive ME,
    So why am I alive instead of better peeps?
    This type of thinking keeps me sinking
    To the point I’ll take up drinking
    When I Should be thinking how to cure cancer;
    The only appropriate answer so that we –
    Rather than the dreaded disease-
    Are the Cure that ENDURES!


    Just a little reminder from a two-timer šŸ’–

  • RHYMES WITHOUT LINES

    I’m killing you with drilling,
    Feeding and filling you with
    Rhymes in your head.
    I urgently need to be fed
    With gummies which still
    And soothe minds with
    Funny crap most folks
    Don’t even laugh at.
    Oh well, drats for that!
    I don’t really like to joke
    Since I’m hopelessly broke,
    And hope doesn’t float!

    That’s all she wrote
    Since I’m not here to
    Promote myself; I prefer
    To actually hide my hell,
    Not kiss and tell,
    And not pass mustard
    By being so crass as
    To mention the passing
    Winds of long-trapped gas.
    If you opine about the why
    I’m not fond of Scatology,
    I’m publicly acknowledging
    I had class in the past,
    But those days have passed.

  • Don’’t let your guy get a Girl Crush on me
    Because it’ll only lead to jealousy.
    Talk dirty, buy some lingerie, and kiss him on his ear.

    He’ll whisper the words you long to hear.
    But if you take no action, you’ll soon be
    Driven to distraction with Fatal Attraction!🩸

  • SEARCHING FOR EMO…AGAIN!!

    Hello!  It’s your favorite indecently-clothed adult bird (AKA, the one and ONLY ā€œBIG BIRDā€), walking down Poppy Street before heading left on Sesame, because God gives no rest to me with all the nut jobs and bad seeds who live on this street!
    I hate it to admit it, but I’ve been tasked to track down an immature nitwit and foolish ass who thinks he lives in A Looking Glass!! Doesn’t he know he needs a BOWL or watery hole if he wants to swim? 🐠

    So, yes skewered viewers who are no longer friends, I’m SEARCHING FOR EMO EVER YET again!!
    I’m been condemned to search for him since producers have indulged him and his ridiculous ā€œWish to Be a Fish,ā€ divulging it’s a-ok to chase each errant WHIM.
    Since he’s both spineless and fin-less, his stupidity is stupendous! But even without functioning gills, he’d still make us all ill! 🤮

    His flaws are endless, but I have to shorten and finish this ā€œpoison penā€ to vent on ā€œthe Internet,ā€ a concept our show ā€œforgetsā€ but hasn’t ā€œofficially acknowledgedā€ yet.
    But who even cares or cares to listen? We teach simple letters and the parents play forgetters. Still it’s all goal-driven and fully forgiven. At least with no villains, parents needn’t be scared about the killin’ of innocent children.
