Classic poem of the day
The night of my cousin's wedding
I wore blue.
I was nineteen
and we danced, Father, we orbited.
We moved like angels washing themselves.
We moved like two birds on fire.
Then we moved like the sea in a jar,
slower and slower.
The orchestra played
" Oh how we danced on the night we were wed. "
And you waltzed me like a lazy Susan
and we were dear,
very dear.
Now that you are laid out,
useless as a blind dog,
now that you no longer lurk,
the song rings in my head.
Pure oxygen was the champagne we drank
and clicked our glasses, one to one.
The champagne breathed like a skin diver
and the glasses were crystal and the bride
and groom gripped each other in sleep
like nineteen-thirty marathon dancers.
Mother was a belle and danced with twenty men.
You danced with me never saying a word.
Instead the serpent spoke as you held me close.
The serpent, that mocker, woke up and pressed against me
like a great god and we bent together
like two lonely swans.
member poem of the day
Stubborn man
Is living free
He can live the way he wants
He doesn't want people
To tell him what todo
That is one thing
That he hates
He is already a senior
People tell stubborn man
That he should give some of his money
To God
He gets upset with that
That is something he won't do
Another thing he is an atheist
Also he hates when people
Mention God to him
Also he doesn't have faith in God
