THE OPENING OF THE TRUNK

Moment of inner freedom
when the mind is opened and the
infinite universe revealed
& the soul is left to wander
dazed & confus'd searching
here & there for teachers & friends.

Moment of Freedom
as the prisoner
blinks in the sun
like a mole
from his hole

a child's 1st trip
away from home

That moment of Freedom

[Pookie]

You could have left it at "The wrongness of Jim Morrison"

[sonicl]

My poetry's better than that. Marginally.

I've adapted this one for Kitty's benefit, Pookie.

Kitty had a little duck
Who didn't have much hair,
All that Kitty's ducky had
Was feathers everywhere.

She took him to the barber's
To get a little trim,
The barber he just took one look
And said "I can't do him".

Ducky wanted spiky hair
He wanted to be punk
Instead he had a bald patch
And he looked like a monk.

Ducky got a crew cut
But he did not like that,
He thought that it looked silly,
So now he wears a hat!

If she likes that one, I have more. One about a one-legged duck and one about a duck's trip to the seaside.

Here Spookie.I dedicate this to you honey:

POWER

I can make the earth stop in
its tracks. I made the
blue cars go away.

I can make myself invisible or small.
I can become gigantic & reach the
farthest things. I can change
the course of nature.
I can place myself anywhere in
space or time.
I can summon the dead.
I can perceive events on other worlds,
in my deepest inner mind,
& in the minds of others.

I can

I am

[sonicl]

No, mine is definitely better.

[porkmarras]

Of course.

[porkmarras]

Power is a Jim Morrison masterpiece.hehe

[Pookie]

You're just making them up now Porky.

And sonicl, you just need an illustrator & you're in business doing children's books.

[porkmarras]

in my deepest inner mind
^The worst use of the english language that i've read in a while.

I have considered it, but my muse left me after three poems.

[Pookie]

Kitty loved the poem (sonicl's, not Jim Morrison's), but I had to explain punk, monk and crew cut. It's all a learning experience.

I also had to do all the actions with her toy duck. Oh parenthood.

[Pookie]

Oh and I need to spread more etc before I can thingy sonicl again.

Oh and Kitty says, can she have another poem please?

Oh, stop taking me so literally, porky?

[sonicl]

Did you explain to her that daddy was a punk once?

Kitty had a little duck
Who only had one leg
And always toppled over
When she tried to lay an egg.

Kitty put a clothes peg
Where the other leg should be
Now she is a happy duck,
Dancing merrily.

Kitty called her Peggy
Which is a lovely name
For a happy little duck
Who is no longer lame.

Peggy went down to the shops
To buy Kitty a gift
The gifts were on the second floor
So Peggy took the lift.

She bought Kitty some badges
To pin upon her coats
Then she went down to the river
To play among the boats.

Peggy met a little drake
Who said his name was Barry
And peggy fell in love with him
And now they're going to marry.

They will have little ducklings
Called Mary, Tom and Dan
And they'll love their friend Kitty
As much as any duckling can.

So that's the little story
Of Kitty and her duck
And how one act of kindness
Brought them both lots of luck.
