Vindicated

Three Word Wednesday
vindicated error jingle

she circled about me
 like a small dolphin
i floating, elsewhere as usual
 looking up at the kites

she, needing to vent
within minutes  was telling
me her secrets,of her mother's error
her dissatisfaction with her psychologist
who hummed jingles at her sessions

i invited her to join me for lunch
by the pool
i painted a glowing future for her
we discussed the  superficial shallow
nature of humans
 their ability to delight
in causing pain to tall poppies
her inability to deal with the ordinary

she said she was sorry to be leaving today
she was eleven

Merry

Its OK I can push the trolley
no Miss A Goong  I want to pretend
to be rich woman
she glows at the bag of shopping which
is hers chicken sausages biscuits honey
shampoo are all treasured gifts
God she does not know that the poorest
wheel a full supermarket trolley
back home and is it?
We sing Adele together in the kitchen
and joke of making a CD
I tell her about going out with that
French Canadian who got hit in the face
when I cracked a crab claw
And the whole restaurant laughed
She is horrified that I went to dinner
with a married man also being married myself
shit I hope she doesn't think I'm a floozie
 then I assure her no monkee beezeeness
she looks relieved
then she says I am very lucky
she tells me of her sadnesses
I don't tell her about mine
She makes me very happy
She is my maid and I love her
I'll miss her when I go

Three Word Wednesday
novice sear flesh

thorns sear into the raw flesh
of a novice's thigh
opus dei discomfort a mere
 scratch compared to the ache
of  breaking those chains tethering me
to the rock

Gone Walkabout

In case anyone notices I'm gone
Overcome by wander lust again
.Back Soon!

Frizz

3WW dampen keep  tremble

i tremble at the thought
of these coiled locks
keep dampening them
but nothing works

A Walk Round The Lake

all rugged up in scarves
and hats we walk
sunset on the glass

our arms linked too tight
knowing that i am leaving
for a little while

the star and the moon
pale fixed look at us aghast
what are they doing

The Letter

A Clarian Sonnet

All day long it took to write him the letter

Page after page torn to make it better
She decided not to send it at all
Scribbled a few lines re Autumn and fall
Why should she tell him everything so soon
He will run away with the dish and spoon
So she thought and thought about what to do
And decided to wait and play it cool
This of course was a terrible mistake
It didn't take long for him to find a date
Anna Cressida Merilee and Jen
He took them all out and became good friends
So now she sits hunched and writes sad pomes
Of  love tankas sonnets haiku in tomes

Karma

                                          God is generous

                                          God is just ,he does not want

                                          To penalize us

                                            I don't want to watch

                                            I don't want to even know

                                            I don't care enough

NON PC POW

3 WW ...generous just penalized
these are generous
little injuns penalized
from functioning just

because they are proud
of their  heritage and have
some pc issues

wearing monograms
advertising subversive
poetry blogsites

these are Peter Pan cartoons
from a twenty year old book
that should be  torn up

for improperly
depicting indigenous
folk with folded arms

and smirks on their face
"no laughing" says the pc
police "no more jokes

humour is something
we will decide on and
we alone if you please"

look at that rude mouse
who made our printer his home
cos he wanted to

if we were p c
we would let him live there for
free but we are not

he will be homeless
a displaced mouse;call pc
