Sarah Flanigan - Poetry Simply Put

Stinking, humid heat
Drought-ridden summer parches
Damned Aussie seasons!

(how’s that, luv?)

Like a cat
I nap in the sun.
And put aside
my problems
for opening on another day.
Spring is here
and I
celebrate.

 I love museums on the weekend. Don’t you? Enjoy.

Zoe spreads her wings
Precocious notions are hers
to sprinkle freely.

I love going to the museum on Saturdays, don’t you?

beach dogs catch the rays
that sparkle across water
deep green and perfect

Winter roses sag
Clip, trim, dead leaves fall to ground
Roses safe in vase

Not long ago, my buddy Evyl did a really fun post that linked to a quiz which would tell you just how scary you are. Sadly, I discovered I was not scary at all. In fact, it said I was sweet. (boring!) But of course Evyl scored very high on the scary meter (lucky bastard). We got to talking and we thought we’d do our own little test of sorts.

Word association. He came up with a list and I came up with a list. You can see Evyl’s list with my word association and his and below is mine. Remember, I’m sweet and he’s scary. LOL.

Court
Sarah says: Woo me like no other.
Evyl says: The stuffy building where the judge bangs the gavel and says ‘ One more outburst and I will gag you like transvestite bondage queen.’

Line
Sarah says: Dialogue at its best.
Evyl says: What you use to pick up loose women at a seedy bar. Such as ‘Do you have a mirror in your panties because I can see myself in them.’

Paisley
Sarah says: Pattern that is thankfully no longer fashionable.
Evyl says: Isn’t that the pattern you get with Dollar Store Boxer Shorts?

Revile
Sarah says: Hatred from my deepest darkest places.
Evyl says: The emotion shared by all my ex-girlfriends.

Body
Sarah says: The home in which our spirits live.
Evyl says: A good quality to have in beer and women. Too thin and you have lite beer and bony chicks but a good full body and you have Guiness and one hell of a woman.

So, are you sweet or scary? It’s a fun question to ponder.

Sarah

Pennies gathered in a jar
all the same

None have a different idea
of who or what they are

Lonely pennies
waiting to be rolled
not knowing

For they were never told
they’re not worth much of anything
these days.

I thought this was cleverly and very well done. I hope you enjoy it.
