Flashback Friday Poetry: Luna’s Final Words

i quietly sit
here upon the Moon
breathing my last breath
my end will be soon
to stare at the Earth
it is strange to see
while so many are
gazing up at me
what do they think of
what is it they dream
with a lost starved look
they drink the Moon’s Beam

I am the one face
everyone has seen
but here face to face
we have never been
with a watchful eye
I protect mother
but My time is done
She’ll find another
I don’t fear the end
I don’t want to scream
to stare at the Earth
I have lived My dream

Throwback Thursday Poetry: RLS

all these prickling, burning Sensations
do what i must to keep my mind deceived
i lose to Insomnia’s Invasion

almost unbearable Irritation
through constant movement relief is achieved
all these prickling, burning Sensations

body awakes the brain with persuasion
how could my tired mind be so naive
i lose to Insomnia’s Invasion

i can feel them, the subtle Vibrations
these things my nervous system does receive
all these prickling, burning Sensations

not much to do with sleep deprivation
it’s too much for my conscience to conceive
i lose to Insomnia’s Invasion

it seems like improper circulation
or that’s what i have been led to believe
all these prickling, burning Sensations
i lose to Insomnia’s Invasion

Early poetry from James. From the poetry collection Pariah Bound: The Lonesome Poetry.

Wacky Wednesday: December 16

The wackiness is a little light this week just as it was last week. Perhaps it’s all the holiday cheer making things less wacky. We have a couple interesting words to add to our arsenal of old English insults. Frist, we have Gowpenful-o’-anything. That’s a mouthful. This term refers to someone who is a medley of everything absurd. A gowpen is the bowl made when cupping one’s hands together. Our next word is Klazomaniac. It’s someone who is only capable of shouting. Some people are loud for no apparent reason. 

Our token food holiday today is a good one. National Chocolate Covered Anything Day means you can cover all your favorite things in chocolate. If you could cover anything in chocolate, what would it be? I recommend only covering food in chocolate for now. Some suggestions include bananas, orange wedges, and ice cream to name a few. Our final holiday is one parents will love. Barbie and Barney Backlash Day is a day for parents to say no to annoying children shows and sing-a-longs or choose to read a different story at bedtime.

The day gets its name from the Barbie Doll and from the show “Barney and Friends” about a purple dinosaur. Often children will want to watch the same show over and over again and this day is for parents to take a break from the many different kids shows out there. I worked in a movie theater for a few years. When I’d clean the auditorium after a children’s film rated G or PG, sometimes I’d find small empty liquor bottles. Parents, this is your day to stop the madness if only for one day. Good luck out there and eat lots of chocolate things today.
