I
The bus is late and I’m
Thinking of what you said,
trying to understand, but
I’ve never met you,so
I have nothing but written words
Which,however beautiful,may not give
enough for me to truly imagine
the depths of your heart.
My legs hurt and I have a cane
But I don’t like it.I can’t accept
my own infirmity,my troubles,
my pains,my disagreements,my mistakes.
Rain falls over me and drips down the lens
in my spectacles,as if the world is weeping
the tears I can’t shed.
If I cried now,standing at the bus stop,
for all the years of pain
noone would know,they’d
think it was just
raindrops running down my cheeks.
The bus comes,but it’s half term…
The shops are too crowded,I can’t
Stand in queues…imagine how most of you
say it’s boring.Well,I’d love to do it
but I’ve decided the pain is greater
then the rewards.
The bus driver stops at a place where
the pavement has been lowered to allow
the owner of this house to drive
their car into the front garden
so they won’t need to buy
a resident’s parking permit.
It makes it a harder task to descend
from the bus and I hope he won’t
start while I’m still getting down.
In the coffee bar are exhibits from
a local museum,and I think,one day
my cane and my watch from Argos,
my shopping bag with a picture of Monet-
such vulgarity…..
they may be in a museum too…
along with my door keys
my bike lock and my spectacles
and will somebody try to conjure me up
in their imagination.
Someone who used to like Topology
Knitting,writing and holding hands with lovers
on the top deck of the bus
crossing central London without noticing
anything except their reflections in the eyes
of the other.
Light bounces to and fro.
My mind shuts down, the words
packed away in boxes,till there’s only
you and me and a few elementary particles
trying to recreate the world
with the big bang
that will end it all.
I killed my own father in error
I guess I was blinded by terror.
But now I repent
And will fast all through Lent.
I have dwelt all my life in deep sorrow
I am studying poetic forms.
http://www.criticalreading.com/poetry.htm
In general the limerick is a humorous form.That is,both historically and by the shape and brevity.Yet I am trying to write some miserable limericks.I am finding it harder than I expected.The first one certainly has come out with more than a hint of fun
AS BROAD AS IT’S WIDE
I once had therapeutic depression
The counsellor wept through my session
So I gave my advice
As broad as it’s wise.
Depression sure beats going fishin’
ANXIOUS
I feel very anxious today
Would I do better to worry or to pray?
I’ll trust in the dark
Tn the bush by the park.
Till a man comes along feeling gay.
I see the very nature of the form almost makes it compulsory to be funny.It’s lines 4 and 5 I think
NEW FRIEND
I hate my new man friend already
I thought he would make me more steady
But I feel giddy and sick
When he gives me a lick.
Such a dog’s not ideal for a lady.
How my heart sings
