poetry

yes yes some more poetic ramblings of mine... getting a bit more into shape wiith rhyme... warming up to it again and all... though no doupt some free verse wouldn't hurt either...

The Tree

Branches tire,
drifting off to sleep.
Dreams for hire
prance 'bout my feet.

Each, a fairy flame
in it's repose.
Each has a name
that the others chose.

Glimmer bright,
restings on root.
sparkled bedight
out in night, loose.

Away they float,
off to find a bed;
to set their notes
round some child's head.

As they leave
-closing darkness behind-
I rest my leaves
seeking sleep inside.

La-la-laling

Good day to you
O, sun of a pink tennis ball
throw the petroleum jelly against the wall

String gees on a shower cap
drip your puple hearts
I can be more faucety than that

Keep your bleach
I have my own
and more than you'll know to reach

Look for me amongst the stuck fireflies
I will join them who knows
But I'll have a toothbrush they'll buy


Blast that pen!
What was I smoking again?

Drifting

A shipwreck
Demiseless,
I float admist the debree.

Given up
Dwimmersome,
Wandering Nightmarishly

Never Drown'd
Don't know how?
Let me sink, merciless sea.
