Magpie #93 Sofa Takes A Bough-Wow

photo: Christine Donnier-Valentin
SOFA TAKES A BOUGH~~WOW~~!!!
Even the slighest slight
Made the couch mad as hell
She ditched him
Yet she
Unable to fly
The upper reaches
felt wretched
just beyond her frayed ends
she harkened back
where did the end tables end up?
where?
The sheer weight of bearing down
one too many times
by posteriors too wide
for most venture capitalists
oink-oink
This cause-celeb
had caused her this torment
as she kept looking behind
her life once so inclined
this poor recliner
this davenport
this settee
this sofa
this couch
this love seat actually
sitting so pretty
in the altelier
by Montmarte
and Mulberry Street
the 80's scene
so lively
her once over
so quick to dismiss
she now resigned
she felt
doomed
to live a life she outlived
yet the old gal still got it
not that
anyone would ever think
fashionable her attire
She more than anything
wanted to tear down that stubborn wall
and start over again
suddenly
the scent of a distant forest
had broken through the wall
as the fir trees bent their boughs
to support her
in her just cause
just in case and because
someday
they would need her support
for now
they would all make a home here

Magpie #91 Limerick Licks


Limerick Licks

There was an old lady from Dorset
Who might know
how to tie a corsetAdd Image
She loved to play this musical
game
save for the chairs she sought to
tame
and none ever thought anything of
it
~~~~~~~
There was an old chair from the distant
past
who thought the party would be hyper-
blast
and all dead-wood played along
soon there'd be only one left
the stupid *itch from Suffix
~~~~~~
There once was a Space known as
SomePlaceElse
that didn't know it's arse from a hole in
the ground
as it went from here to there
just grab that chair that is square
and a silly girl quite fair
none would be the wiser for it
~~~~~~
When trying out a Limerick
it be best to not think a tick
grab a beer and a chair
sit down here
and never mind yer complainin'
:)

Magpie #90 The Long Lost Past Revisited

The Long Lost Past Revisited
monuments
await
accolades
frozen
in a sense
they are past tense
just as endless
numb
as rigor mortis
this death
so inevitable
our battle-worn heroes here
alive once
succumbed to the Great Beyond
we hold remembrance
to the long lost past
lives lived beyond flesh
as if dead already
all yesterdays
follows our heels
today
those whom fate sealed
those who lay beneath
those surrender to eventuality
may or may not know what we do not
T'were more than this
born to die
all our accomplishments
dust
life's long road
eventually to meet
death seems inordinately longer
a very mean street
let us tread
ginger lightly
as not to disturb
or evoke or
prematurely bring upon
the dread of kings
this inevitable recourse
the most accursed curse
tis death
so think those lively enough not to know
unliveliness
as so many more above
than us below
yet snidely still above ground
clinging to this bit of grievous pain
to keep lit the flickering flame
that love has
known us
so will the dead want the same too
the dead also rises
bless us each morning
this spring never-ending
come back to life!
spirit blessings
kept lit
on the shelf
upon the place beneath
we bring back this life
life after life
time after time
the past to revisit
the nowhere now
give us this allowance
give us endless being
formed in the lightEST body
be they quick or be they dead
or slow like me
not rushing the backfire
treading every step with care
inching ever closer
the grave that would be more like a home
since we spend so much time there
as a peaceful silent place
a one stop-shop of everlasting peace
a rest-stop on the endless highway
a black velvet painting with no neon lights
as so suddenly unbeingness begets
the long goodbye of no tomorrows
the big sleep
held in queue
tis odd this life
of opposites
~to the duality~
G~0~0~D~b~Y~E!
