"crummy" poems
My tummy needs a yummy, Like a plummy tasty gummy. I'm in a slummy feeling crummy, Give me something in my tummy. Please don't treat me like a scummy, And don't look at me like a dummy. I don't want to drink a rummy, But a yummy in my tummy. Mommy can I get a yummy, I don't want to starve my tommy. Please offer me some plummy tasty gummy.

Tummy Needs a Gummy
(March, 1919)A LIAR goes in fine clothes. A liar goes in rags. A liar is a liar, clothes or no clothes. A liar is a liar and lives on the lies he tells and dies in a life of lies. And the stonecutters earn a living-with lies-on the tombs of liars. Aliar looks 'em in the eye And lies to a woman, Lies to a man, a pal, a child, a fool. And he is an old liar; we know him many years back. A liar lies to nations. A liar lies to the people. A liar takes the blood of the people And drinks this blood with a laugh and a lie, A laugh in his neck, A lie in his mouth. And this liar is an old one; we know him many years. He is straight as a dog's hind leg. He is straight as a corkscrew. He is white as a black cat's foot at midnight. The tongue of a man is tied on this, On the liar who lies to nations, The liar who lies to the people. The tongue of a man is tied on this And ends: To hell with 'em all. To hell with 'em all. It's a song hard as a riveter's hammer, Hard as the sleep of a crummy hobo, Hard as the sleep of a lousy doughboy, Twisted as a shell-shock idiot's gibber. The liars met where the doors were locked. They said to each other: Now for war. The liars fixed it and told 'em: Go. Across their tables they fixed it up, Behind their doors away from the mob. And the guns did a job that nicked off millions. The guns blew seven million off the map, The guns sent seven million west. Seven million shoving up the daisies. Across their tables they fixed it up, The liars who lie to nations. And now Out of the butcher's job And the boneyard junk the maggots have cleaned, Where the jaws of skulls tell the jokes of war ghosts, Out of this they are calling now: Let's go back where we were. Let us run the world again, us, us. Where the doors are locked the liars say: Wait and we'll cash in again. So I hear The People talk. I hear them tell each other: Let the strong men be ready. Let the strong men watch. Let your wrists be cool and your head clear. Let the liars get their finish, The liars and their waiting game, waiting a day again To open the doors and tell us: War! get out to your war again. So I hear The People tell each other: Look at to-day and to-morrow. Fix this clock that nicks off millions When The Liars say it's time. Take things in your own hands. To hell with 'em all, The liars who lie to nations, The liars who lie to The People.

“Exams are important don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise. People will try telling you that they don’t matter in the great scheme of things “There is more to life than exams Lisa. It isn’t the end of the world if you don’t obtain the grades to get into university” mum said. This is all ******** I’ve no intention of spending my life flipping burgers in some crummy burger bar. Do you know they have the cheek to call these places restaurants?! Problem is strictly between you and I, you won’t let it go any further will you? Promise, cross your heart and hope to die? Well as you only have my first name and it would be impossible to trace me I’ll let you into a little secret. The truth is that I am not academically gifted. Don’t get me wrong I try. No one tries harder than me. I’ve spent weekends huddled over my books cramming for my exams, “Lisa no mates that’s me” but it goes in one ear and comes out the other. I just can’t remember things, head like a sieve thats me! Well here I am now in my room at uni. You should have seen my mum’s face when I got the grades. There she stood her mouth gaping open like a stranded fish. Quite comical really. Did I say that all my hard work paid off? Well it wasn’t that difficult for an 18-year-old bomb shell like me to ****** the head master and get my hands on the exam papers prior to the examination. Perhaps academic qualifications aren’t everything after all”.

Balloons are round, They make my day. Up in the sky They bounce and sway. Balloons are bouncy, and they squeak loud, But if you pop them You draw a crowd. Some don't like balloons. I think that that's sad. But to each his own, So said my dad. But look, now I ramble. So here I'll sign off. Enjoy this crummy poem. Or don't. Whatever. ... Rhyme? Nah...

Ode to balloons
Tucked away in my purse Is the card you presented to me On our one year anniversary Inside you wrote, "It's crummy for now, but will get better. I love you." I know what you meant, That school and work Had interfered with our time together, That after you get that degree Our once or twice a week visits Will become a memory. But that's not why I'm carrying around this Anniversary card. I want to believe that Everything else crummy Will get better too, No matter how much I doubt it. I try to keep this card close And hang on to the hope Penned by your hand.

Anniversary Card
It’s about the American dream To make more than you need Through corporate greed And pyramid schemes, So I guess I’m not asleep Since I eat rice and beans In a crummy C.F. Apartment, Or what’s left of that Ten by ten compartment I can barely afford, Like the ****** Degree that was supposed To reward my hard effort By leading me toward A corner office Or something Like that I should desire, But **** it, Let’s get higher, I’m getting bored, And my heart is heavy, And I’ve been Forsaken By the country that Bred me Yet expects me To slap on some flak And attack Fathers and sons and brothers In Iraq Over nothing But ideological Fluff And political stuffing, It’s nothing It’s nothing It’s nothing It’s just not worth The time or frustration To engage in This nation’s Procreation Of condemnation Of logical reason, Though reasoning Lies not in the Eye of the reasoner Or that of the reasoned, It’s gotta be easier Than achieving Appeasement Through please And leasing Thank yous To random Strangers, But if You believe They, like you, Are human Then the danger Is fleeting, Cuz they’re feeling The same feelings, The sane feelings of The chronically Sure, The always right, Everything in its Right place, Yea I know Tommy, I must endure And try to say I should try to save The knaves, But life’s so easy As a slave, You buy your Goods And pave the way For impoverished hoods And hoodwinked Majorities Who’ve already Made The sacrifices Necessary For the necessary To get paid, Hope you did some good With that bogus bonus Mr. Suit and tie And perfect life With the plastic wife And bank account You’ll never drain, No matter how many Times you make it rain On upscale hookers, It runs too deep To keep all to your Selfish selves, But I guess it’s our Faults we don’t wear The leadership caps Cuz we should’ve pulled Ourselves up by our ******* boot straps And made something of Ourselves, right? Those that deserve To make the big bucks Make it happen, right? Time for the forgotten ***** to put up a fight.

Maybe I will just watch the movie alone. Maybe I will just make the rolls and the pie. Maybe I can sit here and list off what I am thankful for Or maybe I won't. Once again you've ruined it for me. Once again you are in my head telling me I **** I'm the worst daughter anyone could ask for. Well, congrats! I'm alone tomorrow. You got your wish. Are you thankful for that? Do you think about me? Do you wonder what I am doing? Do you think each time you take a bite Of the crummy pie crust you make How you wish I was there to make it? No. I bet you don't. It feels like to me you are glad. Glad I'm not there To embarrass you once again With my colorful clothes With my loud voice Saying all the wrong things. Well I hope that empty chair Stares you in the face As you sit down with your fake happy family And you miss me. And as you go around the table Asking what everyone is thankful for I wonder if you are man enough to say You are thankful for the boring silence The lack of arguments The dull colors For the extra space. Because I'm not there. And you made it so. But just so you know: I am thankful. I am thankful for who I am. I am thankful I have the people in my life that I do. I am thankful you taught me what you did. I am thankful I get some silence. I am thankful that despite everything You are still my dad. And I know we don't speak. And I know you will never read my words. But maybe Just maybe One day you will let me back in And you will realize How you are not thankful That you let me go.

I Love The Discipline… I love the discipline of form and meters. Crummy, yummy twitterings To turn a base, base/superficial Into something interstitially aesthetic, helpful. What it is that gives this gift I’ll never know, But there it is – a discipline addictive; A dictation from below; Not just adding to an increase in IQ, Nor the storehouse of expressing, Nor of word when crossword puzzling; No, a serendipity with aspects heavenly. A guzzling from an endless well of secret knowledge, Sacred knowledge for the few. But earthy too. Anyway, as we of poet’s tree like saying, When you find an impulse that you can’t resist, Don’t, you hear, anti-resist, But kissed by It Continue till the whole caboodle* springs your noodle** And the lights go out. I Love The Discipline…4.13.2018 The Processes; Creative, Thinking, Meditative III, Arlene Corwin *caboodle |kəˈboōdl| (also kaboodle) noun (in phrase the whole caboodle or the whole kit and caboodle) informal the whole number or quantity of people or things in question. ORIGIN mid 19th cent. (originally U.S.): perhaps from the phrase kit and boodle, in the same sense (see kit 1 , boodle ). ** noodle 2 noun informal a stupid or silly person. • a person's head.

I Love The Discipline...
We’ll light the wedding candle Each year upon this night. Remembering why as years speed by We first stood to make this light. Not for a love that’s ever true Or a smile that ever cheers. Not for the sick or crummy days Or to share and conquer fears. It’s for the days we forget to love and when aggravations start to weigh. It’s for the times we’ve both ******* up But have chosen to love again a new way. The candle will burn and the wax melt. Someday, the wick will sputter and gutter out. But it’s just a reminder and can be replaced As long as we remember what it’s all about.

The Wedding Candle
She’s the type to eat a bowl of ice cream, shoot a gun, and be fine. I’ve never seen so many pieces under someone’s rug before, but she keeps herself in cookie jars, in ink cartridges, in book binds, anything she can find. I’m surprised she even looks in the mirror anymore. It’s not possible that she’s herself whole. But she braids her hair back when she rides her horse, she channels old Miranda Lambert and pumps that kerosene melody through her veins like it wont’ catch fire. I’ve seen her poke her head through old sweaters like she thinks it’ll be something new this time. I’ve seen her paint her skin in expensive body washes, the washcloth like sandpaper as she tries and tries to smooth all of the uneven edges she’s collected. I bet you could watch her memories in a wishing pool, like in a mini mall, with all the pennies heads down. They would spin themselves around the surface, suffocating one another so that only the good ones would shine, but she dare not pour herself into something that reflective. It would only reveal what she ties into the waistband of her old American Eagle jeans every morning, and that would just be too **** hard. It’s easier to venture ******** with a crummy perspective and a realistic approach than it would be to even consider that maybe this time it wasn’t her fault for expecting to much, and that maybe people just ***** up. That maybe, for once she wouldn't blame it on it getting her hopes up that made her fall, but that no one was there to catch her. I’d rather watch her cry herself to sleep for months than to pretend I admire the harsh falsetto she bites back in all of her lullabies. But she’s the type to burn old pictures for fun, to delete contact names, to swallow all her sadness and paint her bedroom a new color than watch herself come undone.

I DON'T know how he came, shambling, dark, and strong. He stood in the city and told men: My people are fools, my people are young and strong, my people must learn, my people are terrible workers and fighters. Always he kept on asking: Where did that blood come from? They said: You for the fool killer, you for the ***** hatch and a necktie party. They hauled him into jail. They sneered at him and spit on him, And he wrecked their jails, Singing, "God **** your jails," And when he was most in jail Crummy among the crazy in the dark Then he was most of all out of jail Shambling, dark, and strong, Always asking: Where did that blood come from? They laid hands on him And the fool killers had a laugh And the necktie party was a go, by God. They laid hands on him and he was a goner. They hammered him to pieces and he stood up. They buried him and he walked out of the grave, by God, Asking again: Where did that blood come from?

For my brother, it meant everything to stretch out and press his face against the pane of candy stretched crystalline. To take the path away from father for me one step away from step-mother, baking our dreams into crumbs we left on the floor. We’ll trace them back to the place between lost and found, once we’ve fulfilled our parts, he’d always tell me. But he doesn’t understand, and honestly when does he, that we’ve been doomed from the start. There is no Gretel, to stoke the logs, close the grate and latch no heroine to fit the story’s need there's only me So when the witch comes back she’ll ask has Hansel truly grown fat? a little pinch of the skin an inadvertent test to see which one of us should win? It’s always an offering always a suffering always a surrender of what makes me, she and Hansel truly him But I don’t mind filling this role I know it’s what I was made for half baked like the crumbs in a crummy oven the real Gretel’s long gone so her understudy will do. If Mother could bake one daughter why not try to bake two? The witch will say it’s time and ask me to reach back far to find a warmth she can't see it’s really not that odd to hear the words escape me: "why don't you try, it's utterly exhausting always having to hide" and besides I always desperately wanted someone to show me And I’ll even smile as the crackle burns for just awhile Hansel holding my hand my pigtails askew. The crumbs, our true parents, eaten in the leaves.

How many Someone’s lay planked on their waist and stare aimlessly at the candle’s flame? Who of You is daring enough to close Your eyes and in space alone, simply drive- drive away? The same Someone’s and Who’s-of-Who’s, on occasion holler at the moon with expectation of a bark back; or is God but a prestige to fools that We allow to wear Normal on Their crummy ******* name tags? Sometime around Christmas there is a salivating peace, sifting downward on ordinary people, whom really don’t feel like being cold, you know? This is me, rotting away on the carpet, a blanket’s blanky for the floor, just staring through the shutters on the vent below my brow; in the reality of it, I should probably schedule a spring cleaning…not for the vent folks. You see- and I’m trying to be as casual as I can- I’m about to ******* pass out, you know what I’m saying? This is that incredible moment where I’m the Bob Feller of dozing off, 9 innings of shut-eye talent, but at 2 or 3 in the morning…it looks as though I’m bringing in Mariano Rivera to close it out, I can almost smell the scraps of mowed grass, kicking up from his cleats as he jogs closer to where home is; I never really find out if he makes it to the mound…

Ellipsis
She was once a true love of mine She treated me so kind She came to me when I was stuck when my heart was dark and shed her loving light on me She held me close and kissed my lips brought warmed wash clothes and ****** to bathe away my pain. When she was done with me she moved me along to the crummy little apartment by the river the perfect spot for me. Life is lived in chapters one after the other She once was a true love of mine.

She Was Once A True Love Of Mine
The prisoner, he is losing his precious eyesight, and he is quite glad For years now, never had the chance to intrude, The world he never knew. To him, nothing left to see other than his crummy cell. In rhyme, he prays every night He asks for guidance and asked for peace On unpainted walls he sees his reflection, dull and disturbing feats In his flesh, there's a certain feeling he won't figure. He is empty, lacks the soul, the will to go out side. The prisoner is actually a freeman. The prisoner is me.

Prisoner's Point of View.
And as you look at yourself naked in the mirror For the first time in months Mulling over valleys of curves Where other girls might find emptiness Or the blush of acne Where modest peach may be found You begin to wonder - who spun the planets in their dance And if this earth really wanted it - Or if gravity's whimsy is really some mad beast To which celestial beings are found With zip-locked lips, tight, wide-eyed, forcing a smile As they are twirled madly about - As the stars watch their blood stained ballet from their ivory tower Spewing spells of laughter in things called nebulae - And as you look in the mirror And gaze into the eyes of a girl who's seen Thick and thin wrapping her bones like a trend You ask yourself if the earth threw a tantrum When it was handed it's stack of seven, It's crummy hand, If today it is still cursed to watch A stumbling, shuffling race Breeding life just to slaughter it, And not thinking about where they plant their eucalyptus trees, Blazing trails with their talk of taxes and alcohol-stench - If the earth is left to bellow in the currents of it's winds Or dream wistfully of the moon in its tides If the whispers of the breeze And the uproar of the hurricanes Was just a way to say WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? If it ever cursed it's luck from the draw To burden beasts of salt and volumes of soil, If it cried and howled to the stars above When it wasn't given it's way.

If I painted a picture of you I think I’d call it Daniel and his Favorite Cigarette and I’d delay passing the sugar because you couldn’t wait four more seconds for your daughter to finish her story. I would buy all of the newspapers in town with the crummy headline *Fauster & Brown Up in Sales for 3rd Week Straight* and burn them all the way through to the sports section just to watch your favorite team’s numbers go up in flames. I would rewrite all those Father’s Day cards, remove the empty seat in the third row on the left from my poetry reading that I had reserved, stop putting new batteries in the remote when you complains. But of course I won’t. I’ll just make a scene at Sunday brunch after we finish saying prayers to my dead big brother at his grave, that dash like a tattoo on my bones— Yes, Dad, I could have worn a tie but I like the fact that I still smell like yesterday cause I know my brother will never know the scent of tomorrow. I will only curse between sips of coffee and I’ll stroke my sisters hair so she knows at least someone has been listening these past ten years.

Ten Years Later
Purple skies and wounded hearts Leaves drifting away Growing trees and yellow planes Night turning to day Untuned cellos, crumbs on sheets Grass blades in between toes Aerosol cans and crooked shelves Snowflakes that stay on the nose Purple you and wounded me Us drifting away Growing you and yellow me No one wanting to stay Untuned me, crummy you Two scarred, translucent souls Aerosol me and crooked you I'm dying, but nobody knows.

Inside fleshly plumbing We hear humming The voices of birds In rapture of peace Living a short life Just like you and me Crummy digestion We cry against the wall Screeching sleep We awake to hear a call Shattering your life With a blinking thought All too soon We both are caught We run pass the windy greens In a maze Remembering all the dreams Lost in a grainy storm Our thoughts subside. We are gone Obeying the orders Programming our cognition On an assignment not our own Drifting on a mission

Scratchy Walls
I'm writing this in the middle of the night, when there's nothing to do but sleep, but I'm not ready to forget about the world, wandering through dreams that aren't mine to keep and now I lay here, thinking about passion, and how we sometimes put it in a droor, to make way for practicality, until one day, we think of it no more dreams have a way of wilting, when they are left to collect dust. they slowly ferment in regret, they suffer from distrust. so take these words with you, in those moments of doubt, when you find yourself in need of a steady hand, when people tell you to buy a suit, when they tell you to quit the band though a small victory it might have been, you've tasted greatness so far, even if it was in a dimly lit room, in some crummy little bar don't write off your dreams, don't discount your success because the magic was there, even if the crowds were not I've said it before, and I'll say it again, your music is making the world a better place:   reminding me of the beauty,   making me forgot about the haste so do yourself a favor, do a kindness to the world, stick it out and see what happens, when your waking dreams unfurl

A poem for Ally: no homo...just kidding, yes **** but not for you.
undo the rusty bolts underlining my frizzy hairline the crummy ones that hold volatile turmoil within my scalp the erratic lunacy playing with my aging brain using the untangled strings to jump rope and play sorrowful tunes for the weeping to harmonize i want you to stick your hands in my heavy head as you would in a flower *** freshly filled with soil dig into the moist compound with your pliable fingers amend the corruptive leakage that toils within my own deceit i want you to avidly turn the soft claying matter how ever you please as you would turn into roads that lead you running straight to me i want you to breathe igniting hope born from the fumes of cigarettes you smoked insensibly into the seeds you wish to discard in this potted cavity i want you to pour oceans of poetic sentiments tainted with gentle kindness from those isolated tears held back in the sockets of your eyes to water my wilting corpse so it may flourish from your light reflecting gift of life (you resurrect me) i want you to trust in your captivating presence to make me unintentionally smile from your caress will selflessly sprout inflorescent buds of rich purplish-blue flowers with conspicuous green calyxes and even though their coloring is rather insignificant and they can be easily overlooked i want you to know that only you hold the key to this secret pasture that without you there would not be such garden for us to hide

Poems to a lover (005)
Made from paper & some ink but it's worth quite a lot It effects those it touches & those it does not It's the cause of arguments & fights & not enough of it, then out go the lights It's hard to believe it's not even alive We use it to help us survive It gets copied & distorted & across seas, it's sometimes transported When it arrives it's exchanged To this different appearance Large amounts might require a government clearance It can ruin lives & destroys happiness I know it's hard to believe this People lose their houses without it & others are just happy with the change in your pocket It's really the reason for theft crimes Just trying to get by in troubling times Working for it never seems to stop & still not enough is made to get all you need Which limits how much you buy when you shop Barely enough food for the mouths you feed Leaving little left for you to pay that bill Stress & worries soon to follow & down your cheeks tears begin to spill Now your account is way too low We underestimated its true value It's definitely the root of all evil If you let it control you It will never be shared equally To all the people Which us sad & crummy Maybe it'll give you a luxurious life or maybe no life at all & what the beast is known as is MONEY Don't let it be your downfall

Unfortunately it IS All About the Benjamins $$
I'm sitting in the corner of a cold, empty house. My eyes glazed over, I haven't slept. Memories of Thanksgiving flash upon the spoon flipped over before me; the plaid shirt I was wearing, the crummy salad I ate. I see the look in your eyes, you were holding back tears. I couldn't contain mine. Suddenly, flashbacks of white powder caked like snow upon the jail cell bars. I'm sitting in the corner of a cold, empty house. My eyes glazed over, I haven't slept. Write the good, as well as the bad, on the same page. Both are equally important to the story.
