Bitty Batty Betty - The Nit Nosher
Bitty Batty Betty
grows hair on her belly
because she eats
too many lice,
she toasts 'em
she stews 'em
she pickles and she roasts 'em
to Bitty Batty Betty,
they taste very nice!In a belfry she lives
with a wizard
named Fizzz
and a fat black cat
called Hazel,
they all get along
sing silly billy songs
to a man in the moon
made of cheese.In the cold light of day
when kiddies do play
Bitty Batty Betty
goes walking the streets,
if there's
nits on them heads
alive or half dead
she'll be over
to squeeze 'em all out!Bitty Batty Betty
is kind
she won't terrify,
but her nails
are dirty and gross,
so let Mummy near
with her exterminator gear
to extin...
Newly bathed
and smelling sweet
from warm vanilla,
he nuzzled at her breast
fine wispy hair
falling
upon a downy crown
of innocence,
'til a curl of contentment
played softly
upon his full lips.He slept soundly
like a peaceful angel,
heirloom swaddled
in ivory silk
and dressed
in his mickey mouse gro
with mitts
of baby blue
that covered
tiny plump digits,
so perfectly pink.She gathered him up
and cradled him tenderly
within her nook,
rocking him
to and fro
to grandmother's
gentle lullaby
and kissing
his little button nose
squashed amidst chubby cheeks
of blushed rose. She mused.
God,
had given her
his greatest gift,
a testament
to the divi...

Ode to Devon Delights

Poetry is for fools! by whimsicalworks, literature
Literature
Poetry is for fools!
You tell me
poetry is for fools!
For people
who are ill at ease
with unfulfilled aims
and squandered dreams.
Please continue, however.
Do tell me -
undiluted insights
and breathtaking ascertains
from the bottom of a jar.
For the night
is yet to yawn
and this bar
will run dry
of your rum tales
far quicker
than the might
in my pen.

We can be nothing more
than friends,
she said.
Please take the wheel
and let us coast along
in this fine
summer sunshine
and silently pretend
we are anything ,
but.
He kissed her forehead
softly sweeping
curls of uncertainties
behind her ears,
where she could not
see or hear them.
How he longed for
winter's glacier cloak
to crack the tension
and keep them close
as it had in '87
when skating on thin ice
had such innocent connotations.They had danced to
Bolero
flying high in life
- both dizzy on love.
This was not the grand finale
either had planned,
but their mirrored minds
continued to dance in
sensual symetry
twisting
turning
each leanin...
The clink of café cutlery
clashed cheaply,
ringing out
against raucous laughter,
heartily regaled with
show-stopping applause.
She felt strangely secure
invisible even,
amongst the tea-time banter.Oblivious to her own notoriety
at home for once
with anonymity,
the delights
of which
made intent
to her sensibilities,
long since denied
and shamelessly forgotten about.She was starting
to enjoy herself
despite feeling unencumbered
almost
relaxed, in the ambience
of being,
a nobody.It had been a while
since she had felt so good.The waiter seemed
to understand,
as he winked flirtaciously
from under his full mop
of youthful dark and handsomeness.
...
She spread
her words thick
rolling them up
in a rug
of black treacle
to unfold somewhere
within his tangled soul
and leaving him
her sticky aftertaste
like bitter syrup,
fearing him to tread
where once
they had lain -
two lovers in love,
threading life's desires
together
on a beautiful tapestry
woven of pure silken dreams.So why did he stay
now that she had broken him?A.M.Young (Please respect copyright)
Like leaded weights
his hooded eyes
bore down upon
darkened shadows,
curtaining a grief
which contained
no bounds,
reason or logic
he felt helpless.
Apathy had taken its grip,
but this time
its refusal
begged
not ,
to be shaken.Copyright - AMY whimsicalworks
Thomas brought scotch
this evening,
a whiff of late afternoon scandal
still clinging cherry red
to his proud collar
starched ripe,
ready for attention.How did,
the guy do it?
The more he questioned
the whys,
the wherefores,
the more inexplicable
the whole scenario became.The chess board
unfolded between them,
like it had done
every Thursday evening
since their days at Uni
when they vied each other
for intellectual supremacy.How things had changed
since those days.
Now they were poles apart
in chosen occupations,
monetary ambitions,
happiness, family,
well-being.He congratulated himself
Ok he shouldn't
smugness was not an attractive trait...
The most beautiful
mannequins
you will surely find
are the living dolls
dressed in
A-Line white.They stand
prim and perky
puckered,
well preened
coiffured, enhanced
a stately 34D!Their smiles entice
smack all
Hollywood bright
and before you know it
one has got you within her sights!She makes a bee-line
escorts you
to peruse her stalls
whispering girly
opens up,
her fragrant drawers.You listen
most politely
to the spiel
she invents
eyes cast downwards,
to lessen intent.Her mission in life?
Is to sweet spell
you,
you are powerless
to resist this
Cosmetic Gu-ru.And oh,
how she can fawn
and how she can fuss,
you're putty
in her hands
'Cos, sh...
Don't live outside the lines
they told her.
Drink all your milk,
wear sunscreen in the rain.
Obey the speed limit,
and every Sunday
make a joyful noise
where everyone can hear.Don't cheat on your taxes
or second guesses -
never sleep till noon.
Let Katie Couric
do your thinking -
not Oprah,
don't ponder
why the grass
is always greener
where no one else
can see.Make casseroles to freeze;
learn to knit scarves
for the correct charity.
Take up racquetball
or pilates
but do not sweat
more than
the recommended dose.
Remember, one glass of wine
is lady-like,
sophisticated;
but green tea
keeps you regular.Marry well,
not often -
the right man

She wore him like winter -
dull pants and socks,
jacket spun like sleet -
cold as a cistern.
Jacket buttons - dull beatitudes
mumbled by homeless ashes
and those too lost to breathe.
And she shook him off -
dropped him to the floor;
all his shadows
sighing with his weight,
collapsing in upon her.
She wants to gently peel herself back,
fade like Venice in May -
rose and azure,
saffron in the water
that only laps when spoken to;
that lingers rich
on the tongue -
sweet like too much wine
or the sun cresting,
early summer.She wants to feel the pale grief
that comes from
knowing too many secrets
or sensing too much magic
trembling in the clustering vines,
the wanton whispers lingering
just above the horizon.
That glistering web setting over her limbs
like September on fire.
A thin castlescratching the landscape,stately home of old bloodand tufted chairs.Portraits gone astrayand dog's dusty carcassguarding the halls.Empty museums,bones in the foyerwelcoming me to not touchpaintings or vasesfrom some unknown dynasty -one mummy watching.Botanical splendor -a smashed greenhouse windowsucking the sunlightby my feet;wing tipped begoniaand angels in the dustrattle clay pots,their dusky red fingerspoking holes in the slipstream.
I painted you with cotton and rain,
sacred and profane ink -
pebbles lingering under my tongue
in tangled harmony.
Every time you left,
the canvas rattled
with indigo and sage.
Uneven strokes like gossamer,
lifting high up your dressuntil the sky became only a mirage.
