Jump up from the couch and see the pings in puddles on the neighboring roofs
that the rain makes
Through the glass, see the sleek drops coming this way and that against a grey backdrop.
Don't gaze through the window -- go outside, feel how they smatter on your coat.
The puddle is abstract.
The window is an abstraction.
Your coat is an abstraction.
Take it off, take off your shirt.
Your skin is abstract. Can you take it off?
The whole world is wet.

Talking of crap what do ya do
My stupid boss is full of poo
He lies he he stinks he’s vile an mean
A dirtier A$$hole Youve never seen.
One day he’ll get his just desserts
And hit him where it really hurts
Mere site of him in navy suit
Makes me wanna gag ‘n puke
I wonder why such people exist
All they do is make us pissed
Conniving scheming crooked grin
I won’t let this scmbag win.
I had a dream I smacked him down
That’ll fix the the stupid clown
I was only sad that when I woke
It wasn’t real what a joke.

sad to hear it snooqy q
17 years i worked with poo
it turned me into a burned out drunk
every morning i was in a funk
i persevered and stuck it out
i bit my lip and didn't shout
i stuffed my feelings; pushed them down
my face seemed stuck in a permanent frown
then one day it became painfully clear
i couldn't do another year
the leadership was so entrenched
and i was sidelined dissed and benched
nothing there had ever changed
except that i was more deranged
so i saw the light and made a move
and now i'm in a new job groove
so snooze i hope that things go well
and you'll get a new boss (or job)
cuz your poo guy will always smell

Zero love you’re such a gem
So glad you’re not ne of them
Your response gave me such a grin
I know I’ll never let him win
First time in 10 years made a report
I Only did as a last resort
Bullies come in wealthy suits
I’d rather a tradie in muddy boots
I bet he picked on kids at school
Cornered them in the classroom hall.
But alas his time has come
It’s time to clean the built up scum.
My Ceo rang me at home
We chatted for ages on the phone.
She thanked me for my well written letter
Assured me that things will get better
Apparently I’m not the only one
He’s had some warnings oh what fun
Now it’s his turn to be scutinised
He will wriggle out I’ve surmised
She said she went back over 10 years
Told me there is nothing to fear
There’s no bad word no reports on me
Only good things she could see
So she’s taken me under her wing
Like a little bird I want to sing
It’s nice to be heard be believed
Can’t tell you how much I’m relieved
Every dog has his day
And now this mutt is gonna pay.
At first I thought he’d lose his job
That bothered me but he’s a knob
He’s brought this shittt upon himself
Now I feel in better health.
I don’t know if it’s just me
But does sobriety exacerbate anxiety
I really thought I needed a drink
But wouldn’t give in to this loathsome fink.
Had I done that oh what a sin
This would have made the ar$ehole win.

snoozy q, you are so brave
to stick your neck out like you did
a dios to the scurvy knave
your pain and thoughts you could have hid
but no, you are a warrior queen
usurping tyrants from their thrones
sometimes there is no in between
lacerate him to the bones
your colleagues surely will be pleased
and may not know who brought him down
he may have bullied, may have teased
don't feel bad, he is a clown
and no, it isn't only you
who has noticed in sobriety
that each moment is fresh and new
both joy, and yes, anxiety
to stick your neck out like you did
a dios to the scurvy knave
your pain and thoughts you could have hid
but no, you are a warrior queen
usurping tyrants from their thrones
sometimes there is no in between
lacerate him to the bones

t no, you are a warrior queen
usurping tyrants from their thrones
sometimes there is no in between
lacerate him to the bones
Zero this was juicy as
Your poetry always has some class
I felt like it was game of thrones
Savage that boss to his bones
I love how poetry makes us brave
Of your poems many I’ve saved
Your intellect is way above
About you that it what I love.
So keep on writing it’s always seen
You keep me wanting to be keen
I love you reply to this thread
A friend forever let it be said
Love you Zero xoxo

they say life is stranger than fiction
i know that all too well
tonight i write from a place so dark
with tales i cannot tell
when madness meets desperation
and isolation chokes the soul
when gruesome meets perversion
i sense nothing is whole
is there basic goodness
in those who are so sick
to chop us into pieces
and wander how we tick
i feel my heart is sinking
or jumping out of my skin
confusing feeling and thinking
a place where ends begin

This page has always been my solitude
When I'm mad happy or just confused
There's so much going on in my head
Happy sad fear and dread..
I lay awake all night and day
I really don't like living this way
This isn't always easy to do
When constant demons follow you.
So tonight I'll try to sleep in peace
Give my feelings some release
Switch it off the weeks been hard
My soul now i shall truly guard
Xx

First rain this spring.
I'm so happy I'm gonna sing.
Why do I love rain?
It hides my pain.
The sun is fine.
But it's too hard for me to shine.
Right now light is trudging through the labyrinth
Of funfair mirrors of the past which is no longer mine.
I love the rain, it keeps my soul split in tiny pieces
Which travel fast right from the sky to earth.

Hello, my old limerick friends.
On a side note, DG made 5 years last week. She and her baby boy are doing great!

Hi Carlos.
I so meant to come post for 5 years, but while I peeked in at SR a few days in advance, I never made it back.
Hopefully, I'll make it back with an actual limerick soon, but for now I'm off to bed. I have an early morning tomorrow and an exciting day planned!
