wildsweetone said:Sundown and Cinnamon Buns
They find it hard to settle
on Sundays when rain
sweeps across the countryside
and they’re expected to wait
until their lovers are ready
to taunt and tease soft sighs
from the night,
to taste the bitterness
on the breeze that weaves
its way between sundown
and the cinnamon buns of breakfast
by a fireside that glows
copper streaks through a room
laden with sheepskin rugs
and wine.
Tzara said:What a Poem Is
... a poem should be solid made.
Tightened bolts, fitted joints,
well and firmly glued. It should
be ready for abuse. You might
stand on it instead of sit.
Flick ashes on upholstery. Eat
potato chips and brush the crumbs
into its lap, then wipe your
greasy fingers on its nap.
... set one out before a fire
and park your muddy boots.

as I wipe the spittle of your tonguey
kisses from my lips with fingers
gloved in mud washed
from the streets
we dance on
into this gutter where we play
once risen from the sewer.
beetrootjesuit said:I wonder if
I swept up all the shards
from the windows of our life
and stuck them back together
in random patterns
like they did at Coventry
after the bombs had fallen
would it matter?
I’m sure the ghost of Goering
would think the act
a ritual of impotence
but he would like
the statue of St. Michael
hung victorious
over Satan
and I ask myself
if ever I should meet
a devil that I would embrace
would I have the will
to pierce him with the lance?

Hey now, quit using my name as a curse word. You signed up for it, missy.Angeline said:Beet root zoot suit
made me write another rag.
It's all moot anyway. Neo said
I gotta write a poem a day
if I wanna stay, but as you see
I'm running out of ideas.
Anyway still here. Be a dear
beet and pluck the veil
from my muse's eyes, ok?
It's friggin freezin here today--
by the way before she left
she said she wants a tan line,
that's fine if only I could join her
maybe south of France? Antibes?
Cap du Somewhere Anywhere
that isn't Maine. Not that I
complain: I made my bed and love
my lover. Nothing's undercover
anymore, it's just the snow
that I abhor, and beets
you can lance the devil, only 37
poems to go: it's all in the diction
don't you know. Saddle up. I'm still
in the collection plate.
Chalk it up to fate
and poetry.
