The Day the Housewife Killed Herself
The trees, inhabiting my
Garden, always look
Like dying, nursing home
Veterans when you’re subdued,
Fixating at the populace you left
Behind. Go on!
Join them; your truehearted,
Your kinsfolk; plotting my
Demise, how unsightly it
Would be to knock me off,
Join the circus.
Living on the road, without
A penny in your pockets, isn’t
Noble, when you’ve got mouths
To feed; not when the crucifix
Is hidden in your cupboard.
How can I be so fixated on
Someone so repugnant? It must
Be in the herb tea; the kind I drink
Daily, in order to refresh my
Sanity. Alas, the market calls,
My respite, my get by, my
Goddamned market. Grab
My floral umbrella from the
Antisocial rack, and my two
Legs carry me along, dysphoric
As they can be.
All the masses, all the amused,
Jubilant faces of the grocery,
Even the peppers seems festive.
The asparagus is sprightly, the
Bananas are dancing, let me join
Them, for an instant, let me waltz
With the produce.
Never have I felt so delighted,
My normal outdoor trek
Has led me to a mango mambo.
“I’m no Astaire, but neither are you,
Plum.” My eyes are bright, as one
By one, the fruits and
Vegetables assemble in
My wicker basket. I cannot
Leave them here, no one will
Appreciate them as much as I
Do.
In they go, all the vibrant colors,
With the green going to the delightful
Barkeep. She knows they’re all going
Home with me, but she wouldn’t
Dare tell anyone; her wink says it all.
Homeward bound, me and my
Delightful fruit; back to the
Trials and unsightliness of my
Dwelling. No! I cannot bring
Them to that miserable hole,
Not with that virulent bastard
Sitting in his armchair. No,
Today, we will lay down by
This pond, I’ll muddy up
My day dress and sop up
The sun, enjoying my new
Company.
What do you think of this poem?
I like it. I won't sit here analyzing it more than 5 mins, but I like it.
I feel very uncertain about the rythym.
Reply:Too long.
I don't wanna read it all. :)
Reply:its good but it was too big but try to limit your words when expressing
Reply:it's toooo small
is that written by u?
Reply:Very Poetic.
Reply:well a feel that the significance about the outside testicular equilibrium in ratio to the barkeep delight was outstanding! The armchair played the role of the metaphor in congniscents and repect to the virulent bastard... I ask how was the muddy pond so intrusive of it's splendid surrondings my friend?
Reply:Well, the curse words just ruined it for me.
