Perplexing Poems

79
If 79 is 2+2
Then a male sheep is a ewe
but if 79 is 79
then tie up your hair with natural twine
If today is yesterday the 79
then all the songbirds are to rhyme
79 is to take a nap too
too, as in, as well as you!
 
 
Give me pie!
If you ever see a pie
the second Wednesday in July
then tell me (once or twice) 
why I didn't get a slice!
 

Forgive me
14 chocolate donuts
didn't know that they were
consumed by you
leaving one and a half for Nottie
whoever consumed the last one
is hiding in the cupboard
with the 72 ants
(that are kind of irrelevant)
if the frog won't forgive you
then I won't either, 
Period.

    Because apparently, I couldn’t wait to be born.

    The other one is ‘girl’

    Worry Armor


    Panic invades my body like wildfire.
    Impossible to stop and impossible to slow down.
    My legs fly out of the room without my thought.
    My worry armor shields me with a cascade of tears
    Legs flying.
    I find myself in the bathroom.

    Heather


    Heather on moors, waiting
    For just the right moment
    To burst into purple bloom 
    Unfazed by the whipping winds
    That nearly knock me over
    Waiting.
    Patiently, 
    Waiting.
