Mouth Me
by Wendy Norman

http://www.seafarrwide.com

If you were a mouth nothing more nothing less
What thoughts and sentiments would you express
Watched closely you can see what it can be
A scarlet vermil tinctured gash swearing profanities
A pink rose bud singing words so pure and sweet
Luscious peach that makes you bow and weep
A yellow stained pot of putrid breath
With singhing puffs from wilted lungs left
Dripping red gloss leaving stains of pain
Pale nude dry rough as sand paper
Devoid of knowledge, love, life or caper
Lizard licking trickery devious intent
A whisker and lipstick so seriously bent
Flowing words of a canaries song
Or laced with ice to make them wrong
Wit and intellectual spiels from thin lines
Passions full lips tantalize and entwine
Toothless gobs of verborrhea
Perfection portrayed in a Model’s leer
Newborns purity precious unique
Virgin angelical…

My Joseph, My JAM- My Poem written to my beloved Joseph.
by Adrienne Miranda

A beautiful morn at 6:07, a precious angel came down from heaven; he quickly encountered the awe of the room; he stole my heart after embracing my womb.

My babe is beautiful, so perfect and sweet; he awaited his family for soon he would meet. That smile on his face so tender and mild; thank you, sweet Jesus, for my darling child.

I will call him Joseph after my dad, a spirited heart and a wonderful lad.

He would love all the earth in all of its glory and take hold of each life that entered his story.

From fish to turtle, to hamster to crab, he filled every nook and with gusto would grab.

My son he lightened the world with his smile, not knowing his time would be but a…

Scraps of a Love Letter
by Patro

Not as to wait, for the endless dawn
Never done with this dread, reconciled on the page
Oscilating thought patterns drifting, as if mental brawn
Looking inward, feeling outward, with the pen I shall wage

Lights cast on the ground, as though my mind seeks another
There are wisps of cloud overhead. It is here I commiserate
It can be lonely. I think of my mother
I have yet to serve those outside the business plate

It isn’t as if I can’t detach. Many who recommend this
Say another day of work is ahead, then the week and it’s awful
Words jotted on the page, written blackly, obliquely. They fend bliss
Pressed into service. At least I am lawful

I will persevere
I prefer LOL! dear

WARP MESSENGER
by Stephen Karnaghan

It was as if I were a painting …
abstract splash of colour …
no subject …
a road …
people walking …
over weight …
angry …
jealous …
not hiding their distaste …
they showed a distaste for me …
sneering hatred …
scared …
scared of me …
who …
what …
what had I done …
I could not recognise myself …
one person came …
surrounded by a rainbow …
rainbow of magnificent colours …
music danced around her …
she was walking towards me …
I called to her …
beautiful ambient sounds …
atmospheric …
infiltrating …
giving people colour …
sweeping hatred and anger …
people now sat before me …
spirits open to see …
longing to be free …
free of their conscious minds …
serenading them into happiness …
they grew old…

The Amazon In Seat 20C
by Jeremy Ruane

You look hither and yon
When you’re flying between
Airports in a foreign country.

But after the rigours
Of customs and flights,
There’s a need for some decent ‘eye candy’!

Most fellow passengers
Look just like you feel –
Bored, tired and resigned.

But once in a while,
You cast your eyes on
A babe who, frankly, blows your mind!

That experience awaited me
When making my way
To Toronto from Vancouver.

A stunning young beauty
Was boarding my plane.
Here’s hoping I’d sit somewhere near her.

The aircraft doors closed
And my heart skipped a beat –
The Good Lord was smiling on me.

For right across the aisle
From my seat in the plane
Was this Amazon, in seat 20C.

By God, she was hot.
Tanned, toned, fit and fine,
With shoulder-length, brown-coloured hair.

She could easily have…

SIMPLICITY
by C.Denyce (Ward)

SIMPLICITY. Trees, bushes, flowers, grass, swayed in the wind…to a beat all of their own. As I sat in my car watching this green form of life I began to reminisce on my own life’s past. It was oh so simple back then.

A child playing in the grass, swaying backwards and forwards between siblings in a game of tag, hide n seek, dodge ball…not a care in the world…laughter engulfing the country air.

Today I sat in the car with the windows down and roof back, basking in the sun’s hot, yet soothing ray’s shining through the sunroof while visions of life’s past ran freely across the freshly cut lawn. It was at that moment in time I longed for simplicity again. Not for the child of life’s past but for the pleasure it could bring.

As I…
