Your Poems

Anybody wants to share any poems?

I'll start. I wrote it today. For Miss P. What Ms. P wants, she gets it.

Cheese, Red Wine and You

Cheese, red wine and you.
Melted in my mouth,
melted on my lips
like the snow in the early cold
morning of winter
touch by the warm air,
and a drop of heavenly water

Cheese, red wine and you
twisted, tangled and missed
in a mist of thought
in a mist of lust
roll into the night
crisp, heated and lay bare
on the cold ground somewhere

NICE! THANK YOU FOR SHARING..........

Nice poem, thank you for sharing it.

Got a little ditty in Dutch, call it "Rag"


Is dat wat ik ben hier voor
In de hoek als een oude schotel vod
Veeg je knoeit
Houd uw handen schoon
Vervolgens gooiden en vergeten

Ik zal niet meer in de hoek
Zelfs vodden moeten worden gewassen en gevouwen
De dag zal komen wanneer je kijkt er
Nodig een andere rotzooi te worden gereinigd
En ik zal weg zijn

Here is an excerpt of a poem I wrote while at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics in Boulder Colorado 1995 at the Summer Writing Program:
(hope it doesn't upset the apple cart)


AMERICA (original working title was "What I've Learned)

I remember watching the television
as they brought you back home
Planes upon planes
Bringing you home

To AMERICA

The land of liberty
Something you enjoyed for such a short time

In AMERICA

I watched you daily
travel through that foreign land
as the suits held parties to their financial successes

I did not know this then
That AMERICA could sell its youth
all are prepared from birth
AMERICA FUCKED YOU!
Fucked me
Fucked its mothers and fathers

We were all deprived of you
As the suits dodged questions
and hid in plush penthouses
I watched you play in the mud
Racing between rice fields
Avoiding bullets and those hiding in tunnels

I did not know this then
I was twelve when you came home

To AMERICA

Who hated you for what you learned
Who shielded their children and turned
Their righteous backs to you

AMERICA

Who had not been prepared
To witness your lessons

AMERICA

Taught you well
You had learned obedience
So you eagerly went

AMERICA,
calls you
Programmed to respond
You gave it all

AMERICA

You are manly
carry swollen balls

America, where are you
Can you still embrace
the Jeffersonian ideas
How can you preach
Democracy to a world
You impose the will of money on?

AMERICA

Who are your political prisoners
How many brothers and sisters have been sacrificed
For your necessay illusion
I am satisfied
that someday
I too shall be offered
Your designer clothes that do not fit

AMERICA

When will you notice
I am naked--carry no shame
I being here--I am ashamed by your lies
the insinuations we must accept
In return for slavery
Set us free--

AMERICA
