Suspended

Posted on July 16, 2012 by goldenstarpoetry

I start to lower myself to the ground

but

Yosha is behind me

and the mountain speaks furtively

because

it’s snow will soon

topple.

now, I notice,

yes, Yosha is still behind me

coiled around cords and ropes

that hold him there

in middair

and a nearly magic sight, but

the cold

night is swept down

with the sharp hand

of the mountain-

the

snow will carry us down

but before it does,

let us make sure we fo not

leave here empty-handed.

we bled our hearts out on these

rocks, so where is that morsel

of goodness buried? is it within

these tall towers or does it cling

to our ruby stained hands, that touch,

almost translucently, and I say

“don’t look down”

THE LAST SPY

Posted on July 12, 2012 by goldenstarpoetry

After the great boating accident of 1972, my friend Therissa and her husband, John, moved out to a little farm in Indiana to escape from city life, and to prevent their identities from being revealed. It was an unpleasent way to say goodbye, especially because they had managed to rid themselves of phone numbers, social security numbers, birth sertificates, and family history. I, on the other hand, grudgingly moved back to live with my mother, who had heard all about my misadventures with the government. She was the type of woman who would posses an AK-47 and not be afraid to use it; especially on her loved ones.

A.A. Milne- a thought

Posted on July 12, 2012 by goldenstarpoetry

How influential A.A.Milne has been-

I think what he’s done- it goes unseen!

But truth be told, in truth conveyed,

the only truth was what he said.

And I myself, have read them by,

and by so when, I was a child.

I listened to them on a tape

(which, sorrowfully, I had misplaced).

But memory, it serves me well,

of all the poems I could tell.

I’d memorized them- every one

(well not each page, but half as done).

And when I do, it makes me smile,

that when I’m sleeping all the while,

those places come to my minds eye,

lie twitching in their idle sky.

I feel the lapping waves and sand,

I feel the sixpence in my hand,

I smell the air, the salty seas,

and what a little child I’d be……

Hello. I am a young poet and short story writer in middle school, and I am very eager to share my vast collection of poems, stories, thoughts, and jokes. In short, I hope they will inspire you to write your own poetry, read, sip a cup of tea, or just relax. Okay, here we go!

Renting starvation-1932

the children

like the old people

they sit on rocking chairs

on the porches

Porgy stole pa’s pipe

she doesn’t light it

she pretends to light it

and it looks funny in her

mouth. She calls me Watkins

and we solve cases-

we are hungry I say how
