come back

by bofa xesjum







come back in a million years

everything will be the same

the world will be ruled by idiots who know nothing

99 percent of the human race will just want to live their lives with what is rightfully theirs

1 percent of the human race will own 200 percent of the wealth

the other 1 percent will start a new religion every year

your mom will be the nicest person who ever lived

dad will sit in his favorite chair staring into space until it is time for the game

men will stare at women

women will laugh at men

dogs will bark

cats will sleep

ants will crawl

birds will fly

butterflies will flit

the world will be coming to an end

cleopatra

by rhoda penmarq







i wrote this poem
i wrote it today
i am a person
and i go my way

roses are red
i do not know what they are
maybe they are mountains
maybe they are stars

violets are blue
that is my favorite color
my fangs have grown sharp
but my brain is duller

my crown is gold
i wear it in style
the sky is black
as i sail down the nile

poem

by rhoda penmarq





down by the river
down by the stream
a-2 and b-3
shared a curious dream

the white star was a mountain
the green star was a toad
the detective hummed a purple tune
as he drove down the road

a dictionary filled with words
on the floor beside the bed
whispered to the human
and filled up its head

today is the first day
and also the last
i had an important message
but its time has passed

the lost

by horace p sternwall





albert brown was the loneliest man in town
betty cox looked good in an evening gown
chuck davis was ready but rough
daisy edwards had the right stuff

ed frank shook hands with a firm grip
fran green went on cruise ships
george harris was the mayor’s son
helen irby always carried a gun

ike jones as always in jail
his mom, jenny kelly, sometimes paid his bail
ken lane was a lawyer for hire
lucy millwood was a ball of fire

mike nelson kept the accounts
nellie orvis had lot of bounce
oscar purvis owned a bank or two
peggy quigley always wore blue

quentin rowley kept to himself
ruby simmons kept knicknacks on a shelf
sid tucker was a bit of a bore
trudy underwood always knew the score

these people do not sound like much fun
don’t worry, we are almost done
uncle bud is coming around the bend
with money in his pocket for vanessa to spend

willie williams has a dollar in his jeans
except for that, he has no visible means
young zeke adams stands on the corner
he may be a loser, but he ain’t no foreigner

that is enough of that
put on your hat
put on yout coat
and leave alfred a note

bird that can not fly

just sitting on the green lawn

for whatever why

the fried egg was cold

the sausage warm and friendly

the coffee was sad
