What Beat the Poetry Forum into the Ground

Four tubes? Do you have a big makeup bag and like never throw anything away? :D

I took everything but an entire hair salon with me to the forest. I had a hot curling brush, a blow drying brush, two cans of hair spray, about 7 different blushes and eye shadows, and that was just in the bottom of the make up duffle bag. Hey, I'm not looking like a hag in front of all those squirrels.
 
Yes or no? Isn't that a good looking squirrel? I think it's a glamour squirrel.
I think the taxidermist did a little cosmetic surgery as he took the poor, dessicated little body and wired the tail and head into that oh so cute! pose before finding just the right shade of onyx beads for its pretty little eyes. The museum curator was thrilled to have such a pretty little thing in it's diarama of the piney woods habitat...

That squirrel is alive!

Lol, that's what I thought. I looked at it this morning and thought "that's not a real squirrel. It's a Disney squirrel, an autoanimatronic (sp?), phony baloney squirrel." It's too clean and healthy looking. The squirrels that come up on my deck, right outside my window never look that good. They look well fed but kinda scaggy.

Oh dear. "I can put any beer can with squirel." That's just wrong. They all are! Reminds me of Hotel New Hampshire and the poor family dog. John Irving is a sicko!

And Anna-banana? That looks like a four-tube etching you've got there.

Oh. Here. This poem finally has a place where it fits!

Squirrels Playing Saxophones
by smithpeter©

lips pursed just so
resting the reeds
on their narrow pucker
peering sidelong at the players
on either side sitting
in a circle of
sixty-six
saxophone playing squirrels

each slung their axe over left lap
like the jazz greats,
and elementary teachers.

no chattering was a lost lesson.

they loosened the window blinds
opened the sash to admit
the audience of lessers.
never screened rodents
to nibble on the greatness of
coolness and corners of sheet music
emptying shells of thought from higher
species.

concept and improvisation is lost

I think Eve's in denial.
 
Ha! I thought about that poem when we all started talking about squirrels. lol

And never forget that it's a love poem! I never will. Douglas told me that very seriously~

Ange: What's the best love poem you ever wrote?
SP: Oh that would have to be "Squirrels Playing Saxophones." He wasn't joking. :confused:

When was that picture in your avie taken? Was it Easter Day? Ahahahahaha.

(Yes, I'm going straight to Hell. But at least I know most of you on this forum will be there, too.)

They need hair products.

revealed

over campfire,

moon keeps her watch 

through window in canopy,

cheating us our turn to 
hide in shadows



squirrel drops another anvil

shattering dried branches
snap

I jump, revealed
 
Oh my word, that is just awful. Its little blind wig eyes! I'm gonna have a nightmare tonight; I just know it. :eek:

it's all Eve's fault.
Make sure you wake her up to get you back to sleep :)

by the way, the squirrel wig was only one of many. eek

just google "animal hair hats"

hahahah! put that on my list of things I thought I would never say
 
I plan on being here more. I was around when we drove the writers so crazy they gave us our own place.

Save an apple! Eat Eve!
