Soothed by an easterly breeze

as the sun beat on my skin like a drum

I was at one with the breeze til it

scolded me so, there was I believing

that the breeze was cold unable to

join forces with the sun burning me whole

[homethoughtsc]

Hearing birdsong often between four and five in the morning.

How a harsh sleep with so much commotion is softened by feathered friends in the garden

[homethoughtsc]

Peanut reaction

Unpleasant nurse

Sticks and EpiPen in my nerves

I am pronounced dead at four

In my will I leave my estate to

A girl I once knew in highschool

I loved her once or twice before

A February thaw

[homethoughtsc]

I've given up writing on Tumblr

I quit!

[homethoughtsc]

Short poetry with little

or no substance.

I can digest chocolate

not eat my greens

drink obscene amounts

of coke, wet my jeans

[homethoughtsc]

Sectioned by my the local constabulary

for standing where only seagulls reside

when they aren't in flight.

Officer I was only taking in the view I

don't want to be observed twenty four

seven and I hate hospital food.

Officer you said we were going to talk

in your car, why are you calling for an

ambulance? i want to go home, it isn't far.

Mum it's me, your son

your firstborn. How are

you today? Have you eaten?

Did you sleep last night?

Are you being treated well?

Have you made any friends

Since I left you here because

Your mind won't mend.

Mum, l love you so much!

Mum I hate to watch you

Slipping away from me.

Mum did you remember I was

Coming today?

Pine's tall and green

fall one by one in rows

are towed to timber yards

fullfil our want for telegraph

poles

[homethoughtsc]

I unbuttoned my shirt

To reveal a tummy unfit

For the beach

All winter I tried to teach

It to become slimmer

Worked out every other day

But my belly size increased

Bummer! Now it's nearly

Summer and my rolls of fat

Haven't one little bit decreased

I will have to cover up if I brave

The perfect bodies on the beach

[homethoughtsc]

A bird with a faulty battery

Intermittently sings off tune

In the early morning hue

A thickened soup of fog

Only fit for croaking frogs

[homethoughtsc]

He turned water into wine

My grandfather had secret power

As a child I watched him for hours

He mixed water and sugar together

Added yeast and primrose flowers

Once he let me sip his concoction

His magic potion

I became light headed

Needed Adam's ale to make me well

[homethoughtsc]

Vodka falling past my lips

each sip is frequent

I slip into depression

Brezhnev's tipple has

Always been my poison

[homethoughtsc]

Just a writer wearing

Loose clothing

While thinking ill of someone

Sorry for thinking aloud

I'm not proud of my loathing

[homethoughtsc]

Your forsythia likes

Your Pennsylvania gloom

Has your Azalea bloomed yet?

Is it too early for it's bloom

Or doesn't it like getting wet?

[homethoughtsc]

Petals are too drenched

To make any sense of their form

I know it is the norm to have rain

But one storm after another in April

Make flowers underperform

[homethoughtsc]

I lay down to sleep

Not keep thinking

About worries

If I try to count sheep

I hear them bleating

Keeping me from sleeping

[homethoughtsc]

I would like life to make more sense

I would like to use a plastic straw when

I have a coke not a paper joke that gets

Drenched every time I suck

For f*** sake plastic is still fantastic
