Spontaneous Poems

finding hope among the trash
in a pile by the shore
where terror lives in mass
beyond an evil door

daily lives are interrupted
it ceases you from peace
as it weaves a web corrupted
laying sorrow at your feet

Very saddening and haunting, colorbook.

Our lives are very much interrupted anymore.


Call to he whose voice will labor
Come and lift a side with all
We will sweep from neath the rubble
Just to see the evil fall

I agree here, I believe he thinks in rhyme

When I woke up this morning
I had just one hour on my bed
When I got up this morning
Feeling like I was almost dead
When I got dressed this morning
I looked down at my wife and I said

I got the Maintenance Man Blues this morning
Don't expect no kiss good-bye
Because I ain't never been quit working
To tell you good-bye would be a lie

I spent last night bailing water
Cause the water tank it broke
I spent last night moving furniture
Cause it all so water soak
I spent last night pulling carpet
While the resident screaming like to croak

I got the Maintenance Man Blues this morning
Don't expect no kiss good-bye
Because I ain't never been quit working
To tell you good-bye would be a lie

I got to paint six apartments
While changing air condition machine
I got to make ready those apartments
While making swimming pool clean
I got to even shampoo those apartments
Why the boss man so doggone mean

That's why I got the Maintenance Man Blues this morning
So don't expect no kiss good-bye
Because I ain't never been quit working
To tell you good-bye would be a big fat lie

A petaled path for edgar
leading to a tree-shaded spot
If he keeps up non-stop working
They will open up his plot... (or is that plat)

Be tough edgarblythe, hide in the bunkhouse awhile---and snore.

sleep in the afternoon shade
whitewash bucket against the fence
willow and woodpecker staid
glass emptied (lemonaide)
to work in field no more hence

Maintenance Man Blues, brilliant.

had epiphenies for breakfast
cognitions on my break
my domains east texas
the truths so hard to take

had a mental breakdown this evening
soothed by jim beam and chunks of ice
slept like a little bitty baby
woke up ready to pay the man his price

Hi everyone! Edgar, love your "Maintenance Man Blues"

Hi colorbook

The man moves far on down the line
That running cannot hardly keep on par
Ticklin' the keys with words so fine
To make us more than what we are!

Go edgar!

Hi Lou!




there's a purpose and a reason
to labor and sweat for your pay
as honestly as the sunrises
you await retirement day

Just had this pop into my head at work-

Once upon a toxic tale
Flew a witch threw hill and dale
Skimming branches thick and thin
Her empty cackles a screeching din

Fitting, material girl

Very fitting for spontaneous thought, and quick pomes.

(pretty clever, too)

Hi, everybody. Thanks for the kind words. You all are very special to me.

like the seaman with his ayes
the winner with his prize
youve winnowed in my heart
better than whistlers art

i love you like peanut butter
and any milk giving udder
we are building something special
like a condominium big and spacial

please continue writing here
i will buy you all cyber beer
any time i ever let you down
give me a kick but not a frown

how many are the skies
that cross before peoples eyes
how often do they stare
feeling nobodys there
as they
click remotes
eat oily chips
underline quotes
lie sleepless

I can tell you...
many times, many faces, many places, edgar.

i like my dog i really do
shes the only link to my lost shoe
and when i come home its neat
she says glad to see ya its time to eat
of course when we play tug of war
its all or nothing for her
making up rules like chomping hands
is standard in all the lands
big old seventy six pounds
wants on my lap zounds

root canal
digging deep
but the tooth
would not sleep
lot of throbbing
I have to say
but over time
it went away

Owtch!!!! colorbook

(great spontaneous verse lately, especially edgar)

Sleepless nights
Dietary plights
Financial drains
Old back pains
Much to do
Nothing new-
You name it,
I got it
Especially-
If it stinks.
