"boppity" poems - Hello Poetry

I went fishing with two witches Out in my new boat There was me, the witches Two black cats, and a little pygmy goat We sat out on the water The small odd group and me And in the first few hours Not one fish did we see The witches looked on skyward Grabbed hands to cast a spell They said that this worked wonders And then they both did yell Icarus, thickarus, giraffes and wild dogs Lizards, and giant gnu Bippity, Boppity, snakes and we wish An airborne callipoe stew Suddenly the water around the boat Started to steam, and then it did boil The sun disappeared, the sky went all black And the clouds went the colour of oil The witches both gathered the nets on the boat As the fish came on up from the deep They were out of the water and up in the air And through this the goat went to sleep Icarus, thickarus, giraffes and wild dogs Lizards, and giant gnu Bippity, Boppity, snakes and we wish An airborne callipoe stew Fish were around us, high in the air The witches waved nets as if mad The cats didn't move nor did the goat It was the best catch that I'd ever had After a while the sky turned to blue The witches sat back with a look We'd netted hundred of fish from the lake Now, they would have to be cooked Icarus, thickarus, giraffes and wild dogs Lizards, and giant gnu Bippity, Boppity, snakes and we wish An airborne callipoe stew I took the boat in, and docked on the shore With our fish all strung up just for show Everyone there asked what bait did we use? I just smiled, for they weren't set to know I go fishing with witches at least once a week My freezer is full and then some Their spell is amazing, it works every time They say it loud, and fish come Icarus, thickarus, giraffes and wild dogs Lizards, and giant gnu Bippity, Boppity, snakes and we wish An airborne callipoe stew

Fishing with Witches

I went fishing with two witches Out in my new boat There was me, the witches Two black cats, and a little pygmy goat We sat out on the water The small odd group and me And in the first few hours Not one fish did we see The witches looked on skyward Grabbed hands to cast a spell They said that this worked wonders And then they both did yell Icarus, thickarus, giraffes and wild dogs Lizards, and giant gnu Bippity, Boppity, snakes and we wish An airborne callipoe stew Suddenly the water around the boat Started to steam, and then it did boil The sun disappeared, the sky went all black And the clouds went the colour of oil The witches both gathered the nets on the boat As the fish came on up from the deep They were out of the water and up in the air And through this the goat went to sleep Icarus, thickarus, giraffes and wild dogs Lizards, and giant gnu Bippity, Boppity, snakes and we wish An airborne callipoe stew Fish were around us, high in the air The witches waved nets as if mad The cats didn't move nor did the goat It was the best catch that I'd ever had After a while the sky turned to blue The witches sat back with a look We'd netted hundred of fish from the lake Now, they would have to be cooked Icarus, thickarus, giraffes and wild dogs Lizards, and giant gnu Bippity, Boppity, snakes and we wish An airborne callipoe stew I took the boat in, and docked on the shore With our fish all strung up just for show Everyone there asked what bait did we use?

"Nita, what do you NEED ?" I HATE it when someone asks me that question! "Nita, What do you need?" NEED: “require”… “want”… “necessitate” "What do you need right now. You don't have to do this in isolation." "What do you need right now? I am not afraid of the little girl." "What do you need right now? If you need something I am here to listen." "If you don't think you are safe, then what do you need from me or others or yourself?" Why does it matter what I "NEED"? Why do you ask me when you are not going to be able to grant that/those "NEED(S)"? Is my Survivor Fairy Godmother asking you for a list of Nita's NEEDS so she can come wave her magic wand, sing, bippity, boppity, boo...and I'll become an unf@#ked kid? Well, why didn't you say so! Here's my list for the Godmother: I NEED to be 'unf@#ked'. I NEED the voices in my head to stop. I NEEDED my evil father not to touch me. I NEED the flashbacks to stop. I NEED my body not to hurt. I NEED the fear to stop. I NEED for you to be here for me NOW like you WERE then. I NEEDED to be loved by my parents. I NEED someone to teach me what love really is. I NEED someone to show me that trust really does exist in this world. I NEED you to help me at night when I am suicidal and dissociative. I NEED you to be available after 10pm, when the hell started, you know, like you used to be...back when you actually cared about what I NEEDED. I NEED the little girl to stop whining and crying. I NEED to not have physical symptoms that relate to then. I NEED the nightmares to stop. I NEED the constant headaches to stop. I NEED my crohn’s to not be in a constant flare up. I NEED to stop having recurrent UTIs. I NEED the ****** Angry Girl to stop hurting me. I NEED to sleep. I NEED to want to live before I die. I NEED you to hear me. What? There is NO Survivor Fairy Godmother? NO magic wand? I'm shocked! NOT! I'm guessing that's why she never showed up then, either...I prefer to think that rather than her never answering my cries of: Please make him stop hurting me! I NEED you to STOP asking me what I NEED Since we both know that those NEEDS will NEVER be my reality, and that it is actually more painful to ask for what you NEED and not get that need met, then it is to keep your NEEDS to yourself. At least that's true for me. So...unless you have a survivor registry where I can resister for the aforementioned NEEDS, or, perhaps a survivor merit system where I can earn credits to 'buy' the above NEEDS (I'm not afraid of hard work)...then STOP ASKING ME WHAT I NEED! Because we both know it does not matter what I NEED! Can't undo what's already been done. We both know that. What Nita "NEEDS" right now is a bottle of ***** and some cranberry juice…THAT is a NEED I can meet right now! A TOAST! Here's to: UNMET NEEDS

Hoppity boppity Games of chance Always let poor people Pay for the dance. Scrappity snappity Selling their wares ***** about usury Nobody dares. Slippity slidery Constant rendition. Use public money To buy politicians. Graftery crafters Buy media too. Make some more billions To see their way through.

Bippity boppity boo and they lived happily ever after Sound familiar? Every book, every movie - An expectation we hold on to That all it takes is a wish on a star, and your dreams will come true That all you have to do is kiss a frog and you’ll have your prince That we could be saved that we could be caught … every time we fall Our happily ever after isn’t written* It is done We can't expect to walk through life without falling Sometimes we are caught, sometimes we are picked up But other times we rise We rise from our fall Not just merely blow on a dandelion and watch mini seeds drift through the wind or pluck out an eyelash and let it fall delicately on the floor Stealing our wishes with them Lets get off the ground full of dust and dirt stand up walk and fly to the stars high above Happily ever after is just one flight away Learn to walk So that you can fly

Red boys worth blood listen to the things they can’t hold in their hands like sun and color and the supposed shoes of a Cinderella girl who was really their sister and didn’t run away from them, just the angels in the front garden Burn the house Burn the garden Take the gut-punch Grab the slipper The watery grave she finds herself in- tears shed by parents over the rejection of a suitor The boys are only red because they faithfully cling to Cinderella’s heart. She gave it to them for safekeeping Oh the things that brothers find themselves holding past midnight.
