A flea and a fly in a flue Were imprisoned, so what could they do? Said the fly, "let us flee!" "Let us fly!" said the flea. So they flew through a flaw in the flue. Ogden Nash

A Flea And A Fly In A Flue - Poem by Ogden Nash
Women bent over in a circle A quilt is being born Created with precision of structure, harmony Geometrically perfect wedding band,log cabin. The men are far away fishing, hunting bisons A dying fire, logs glowing Icy winds wisttle under the door back out through the chimney flue Strong women, used to dangers hunger, incertitude marauding Indians hidding out in the woods Tighten up your circle warm up your fingers the quilt must be ready For the new bride of spring Colette Anne Naegle copyrights 2009

American quilt
Her Father's old wool jacket, from Johnson Mills, in creamy white, dark forest green, golden amber, in a lovely patchwork, A soft dark winter tuke on her head, that dark green in the background, with rusty speckles on her cheeks, Wet snow falls silent, the sky is a crisp Winter blue, the air is cold and clear, & intoxicatingly clean, As she breathes life in and out, then, looking down at her black Sorel boots and her worn black denim jeans, a nice old holey wool sweater, and a maul, A **** lumberjack? Maybe... Dressed to hack the wood, the plumber thinks so, he stops by, a friend of hers, sorta, Huh? Not invited, but no one is around here, we all do it, so he helps too, Hey I'll make lunch, harmless flirting, I suppose, Because, wood warms you 3 times they say, Once to chop it, two to stack it RIGHT, three to bring it in & burn it, But if you count the starting of the, cantankerous chainsaw & the guy, helping you, And you hafta arrange & rearrange, everything, cleaning the flue and chimney, I'd say a few more than that, & don't ferget to pay the man, the cantankerous one, Yeah he got lunch too, and about them ashes, could be pretty hot, take 'em out regular, that stove cranking too, OUCH, She ends up gets burned, a few times each year, Taday, she's on step too, as she picks up the heavy maul, not to heavy for this gal, all the way back, watch yourself, As a neighbor winches, a woman chopping wood? Yup. That's right, a way of life, for her, always has been, poised and ready, swing and smack, if you hit it right, you hear a crack, Just like a baseball bat, hitting a homer, Big pieces, are made more manageable, when you don't try to control the force, when you let the sharpened maul, Do all the work, for you.

You want to know what's unfair? Unfair is having diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 22 despite never having smoked a single cigarette your entire life. Unfair is having to take 3 months unpaid leave because you're "not safe" to be around anybody. What's not fair is the inability to walk 5 steps to the kitchen without running out of breath. What's not fair is the never ending painful coughs at night and having neighbours complaining. You know what's unfair? Unfair is losing half of your lung in a battle you never started. What's unfair is hearing your family members talking behind your back claiming you have Aids, despite never been with a woman before. What's unfair is fighting so hard to get back on your feet, to get back to full recovery only to get the news that you are now diagnosed with Bronchitis; Hearing that you will never be able to run like you used to. That you will never be able play soccer again. What's unfair is the constant fear that follows after. The fear that no girl would ever want you. The constant fear that you might never be able to satisfy any girl. The fear that, what if you get someone sick despite being 100% cleared? Now that is unfair. Unfair is whilst other people take few days to heal from cold and flue, you have to take weeks of antibiotic treatment, just to rid off the same cold. What's unfair is people constantly thinking your TB is back everytime that cold starts. Unfair is constantly having to explain why you breathe so heavily. Unfair is always trying to act "normal" You really wanna know what's unfair? Unfair is having your brother lose the battle against the same TB you won against 3 years ago. What's unfair is having him leave behind his 3 year old with no one. What's unfair is that you didn't choose any of this. And Unfair is writing all of this with a broken heart and a tear rolling down my cheek, because this is a true story. It's My story. And regardless, I'm Still here.

The evergreen edges of the newly cut box hedge border look greener now with its cleaner lines and stronger bark-spines; the train's in an hour so pack up and go, leave Christmas where it is, leave Christmas at home. Un-sent Christmas lists sit in the flue still, they never got delivered and never got through, houses stand with their lights on up the hill, they blink and sparkle and blaze and gaze at the night with competition, cheap goodwill.

CHEAP GOODWILL
After seeing a Flea flee, along with a fast fleeing Fly, I wondered what Fleas and Flies do if in fleeing, they flew into a flue? Now should a fleeing Flea flee, with a Fly that flies with flu, does flying with a fleeing Fly, free the fleeing Fly of the flu? When seeing a Fly fly into a flue, followed by a Flea with the flu does it mean that the Fly that flew by flying into the flue, was fleeing from the flu or the Flea with the flu? When a Flea and Fly are flying is the Flea fleeing with, or flying from a Fly? or was the Fly that flew, fleeing from a Flea? Or: When a fleeing fly with the flu, flies into a flue and a flea with the flu, is fleeing along with the fly with the flu, into the flue, is the flea flying with the fly with the flu, into the flue, or is it happenstance? You tell me! A little bit of fun! Rhymer. February 28th. 2018.

Flies Fly: Fleas Flee.
Such a beauteous day outside, Drivers driving fast while tires slide It's raining yet I behold the beauty of nature Rain and wind create such a chilly flavor I had no reason to go outside Therefore I stayed indoor. I drank hot chocolate while rain pure People said it was messy outside because it was raining Supernatural rain drops on my roof sounds so amazing Birds flue in the rain while water ran in the drain Rain, rain and more rain. Black clouds covered the sky while she said goodbye Goodbye my dear friend A friend forever until the end Maybe tomorrow I shall see her Sadly one day I will leave her. We have been friends for a while I like her some much Yet I never complement her stupendous smile Her smile is the sky and the ocean combined with butterflies Butterflies like unto no other butterflies Her garments are beyond glorious Her splendid blue dress is notorious.

Smile
Gray gathering   Signs fell on the musty register.  Two pallid   Faces infatuate, braiding the ley lines, Were married in a dimly lit registry. Outside, the sky in Dublin was a dark pool,   The clouds were omen, birds, startled in   Your eyes, a flashing flue of doves, all wings   A warring coo, escaping into the dusk. We walked a ways to that room of dreams And dined in the Shelbourne’s Aisling room. I was Ormond, I was Yeats and you   Were gone. Your happy tears were notes singing Our sorrows that day.  Our love was castaway   Our love was time bomb.  Crossing stars, we trembled   As we talked. Two birds setting sights on some   Lost ocean’s horizon.                                When first we met,   At the meeting hall, cradled in a tempest   Eye, you gave me your name and it burned on   The paper as it now burns in my mind   Like Brigid’s fire.  At once, once, we were one. Conjoined yet neither one of us a joiner.   Anointed under the votive stars violently   Innocent your heart, a spike, my heart   A rail.  Our love was charmed, our love was time,   Balm.  To what end this new beginning?

My mom tells me it will be alright, Yet I sit and cry about it day and night As the people in my family become out of sight It seems that the numbers get higher I become not the only crier Other parts of the world are crying too My mom tells me it's like a flue 1 million are dying every year My heart drops, for my moms time is near So I began to pray When evening comes around, I began to frown For my stomach groans For within the day, Their was nothing not even on the ground But dead body's lying around We bless them, for in their afterlife, Their will be grapes and veggies in sight But for now the rest of us starve Did you know 20,000 die every day And that's just children So we must pray Pray for the ones that go to bed hungry every night, Pray so in the morning there will be food in sight!

World Hunger
Even now, as we lie here, heartbeats like a metronome for the coming storm, I write songs in my head for you. And though my voice will never sing them, they are the soundtrack of your kiss. Each record scratch on my heart like a pressed vinyl love letter. Shaping my sinking chest into drum skins that my pulse beats against. If I were covered in magic dust, you would be my happy thought. And all my childish notions of what it means to be romantic would be written down the sides of Chianti bottles in melted wax, like an oak. And in that bottle we would keep our hungry mouths. And still I find my heart adrift. Ripped sails and ropes leading skyward like veins. Split and tattered and stitched haphazardly together, waiting for the lightning to strike twice and bring it to life. My throat a bricked flue, leading to an open mouth, spitting smoke from the torches my heart fears but always seems to carry. And I stretch my spine skyward. Trying to wedge my head back into the clouds but manage only to cast the shadow of an orchid that has begun to lose its color and wilt at the edges of its wingspan. Coming to terms with the idea that it may never be picked. Not even its petals, even numbered like a deck stacked against it that it might lose in a game of being loved and loved not. We want for a little more time. Arm wrestling clock hands into submission with god like fury. Ticking tongues to dampen the prophecy of false mediums. We practice fighting so we may fight for each other. Fight for the greener grass on the other side of the pavement walls we draw our chalk hearts on. The clock tower is a lighthouse. The lighthouse is a windmill. The windmill is a giant. The stories never end. Even now as we lie here, heartbeats like a metronome for the coming storm, I write bed time stories in my head for you.

My words spill out like mice hiding in the cupboards and in the bread Each ******* is crumbled and humbled by gnawing The tables are dusted with delicate clawing The marring is whispered in squeaking silent sound Impossible to see but they are rife across the ground In bed they find the warmth in the goose down and the cotton now sullied small diseases will soon go washed forgotten Trapping tactics once tried and true seems wasted on these careful few Snapping empty in the dark no silent stealing will squeeze them stark Each dream they waltz across the screen like small and spying rolicking ribbons Through the snowy evergreens and wanton queens yet waking finds that they aren't fiction To tame them in time is what must be So no more is cradled by their incredulous creed Now that they have all run of the house From the floorboards to the flue My fighting is futile against this furred Faust For in my great battles, my life they've consumed My motions through doors now move with great heed over my rasped wooden floors of naked tails and featherweight feet Each morning they find themselves feeling bold and swim like sirens through my cereal bowl At noon when I read they shred and they gnaw so I can no longer see one word without a paw In my evening bath they sport small diving bells As I dry myself off from my towel I shake twelve They admire in the mirror and prance piano pirouettes they've failed to adhere to give respect to any threat One day a magic made it though to the edges of my mind to cut short this ever frothing flow and put my tongue in a bind Then slowly, slowly, one by one they folded flew and fell I'd hardly hope this trial was done but it all continued well One night when they were scarce and few only the faintest furred remained I wonderfully slept sound and anew Haunted dreams I no longer detained The lonely left began to nestle in an exodus through the sheets and bed each whisker scraped soft on skin and climbed back inside my head

swine flue
As I gazed at the flames of the fire, It rekindled a childhood vision; Memories of a chill winter morn, Wrapped in a blanket, I watched A daily ritual unfold. Cold, dead, grey ash was removed. Wood, coal and paper then placed With pious propriety. A sacrifice offered Of one single match. Drifts of dark smoke and crackles of wood Nurtured cold coals into life. The fire was fanned until roaring With bright yellow licks that leapt up the flue. A welcoming warmth would draw us together, Working and playing in a radiant glow Of orange incandescence. In the evening we would always make toast Before the dying embers were lost.

Making Toast
Oh where oh where is mister bear? Beneath the bed? Behind the chair? He is not here he is not there Oh where oh where is mister bear? I closed my eyes and counted slow I've looked up high I've looked down low I've searched the house from top to toe oh where oh where did teddy go? I searched and searched and searched some more behind the blinds and bathroom door from attic roof to basement floor and out around the Apple store The garage checked the outhouse too and even checked the barbecue Beneath the ash and up the flue oh where oh where dear Ted are you? Not in the pool or by the slide Or on the swings he loves to ride not in the leaves now crisp and dried oh mister Ted where did you hide? Olly olly oxen free please come on out you've beaten me as now it's time to eat our tea oh where oh where can teddy be Oh here I am behind you so I followed you so quiet and slow and all the time you did not know he chuckled soft and fell down low Oh mister Ted you silly bear what happy times we too do share and don't we make a funny pair playing our games without a care Now time for tea as dad's made steak and Mommas baked us both a cake to wash it down there's ice cream shake we'll eat until our bellies ache. Then brush our teeth and into bed to softly rest our sleepy head and don't forget your prayers I said or that I love you mister Ted

Stop. It.    Mind. Just SHUT UP for once Stop the streams from overflowing out from that useless brain Put on breaks on the car you're driving fast and insane Mind is stupid bleaming useless rhymes To the twisted nerves of the twisted inward eye Unfaithful teachings, Just stop before being taught Untruthful preachings, it's all a lie but you don't get caught You're all an illusion But my thoughts, an addictive dillusion It's all impossible things I think of Then it's hard to breathe when I know it's true That it's impossible to be with you Just slow down the streams That flow within me like a flue Contagious to make me clear to stand away from truth Stop deceiving me as if I am a stranger Make things to me more elucid Instead of pushing me into danger Because I am a mere innocent kid Trapped on your purposely slippery pathways My car to future like this would soon skid. You are me, you understand? Stop pushing me and give me your hand Take me up and up Higher, I am not a scared pup I know what you are doing I am family, don't get me falling DOWN   BACK TO EARTH You are a part of me Then let me see How we could be When we co-operate together in harmony. So, brain, Don't leave me alone Be in control Don't lose your track I am behind your back I'll be there for you You'll be there for I Let's not make us fall into the pit Instead make the sky a target we should together hit. Please don't cheat on I Because you're the last one me trusts Do never say to innocence your goodbyes Or else like my words We'll both be stuck here like DuMb wOrst bUds.

Your happy tears were notes singing Our sorrows that day.  Our love was castaway   Our love was time bomb.  Crossing stars, we trembled   As we talked. Two birds setting sights on some   Lost ocean’s horizon.                                When first we met,   At the meeting hall, cradled in a tempest   Eye, you gave me your name and it burned on   The paper as it now burns in my mind   Like Brigid’s fire.  At once, once, we were one. Conjoined yet neither one of us a joiner.   Anointed under the votive stars violently   Innocent your heart, a spike, my heart   A rail.  Our love was charmed, our love was time,   Balm.  To what end this new beginning?

After the Elopement
Dancing **** Swirling  as a dying ember Trapped in a flue, Warm tears leaping from my cheeks Tumbling, Stumbling Before finding solace in the cool grass, And sparkling like diamonds The tears watched me dance too All because I felt myself Fall in love, With you. ~AD~

In the park
In a different perspective I learned that life comes in sections I was a fool to believe in world's total perfection It became dark without changing its complexion It's now lethal like a fatal infection I'm in a maze lost with no sense of direction Guided errors with no proof of correction "You'd all be there if you had listen to the selections" I know it's going to take more than repairs to pass this inspection Who knew?   Today I'm full of questions. Why do people solve their mistakes with mistakes, like theres no such thing as correction? Nowadays the only way winning is winning with deception You say, " But this didn't start as my intention!" "Look at it this way you can't be president without winning the election." You can stop the flue but every year there's a different injection "I realize there's not just one but quite a broad selection." We can beat this oppresion I had dreamt my inception and got pushed by the tension I just have one more question "What's after that?  What's after us are we the end of what's mentioned?" Or just the start of an infinite collection? If so, why are we forced in this perpetual detention? I'm getting, tired too much ingestion? If I had to find greatness, I'd look at my own reflection Even if it's over, giving up from the beginning was out of the question... Not that I know, I had changed my expression The truth "we are realistic inventions same role, just in different dimensions...." Yeah I dreamt my inception It only took knowing to realize that was just the start of the session.

When the only snow you see in December is in your snow globe When the only Christmas spirit is alcohol When you've filled up on too much on Christmas food and the super market cashier is being rude When your turkey won't cook and kids and toys are making too much noise and the adult boys are out for the count after eating and your so tired you feel like you've taken a beating when Christmas telly is all repeats and you are the only person in the street without decorations and you are left alone to make preparations for the big day. When you've got a stinking man flue cold that won't go away and the smell of cold Brussel sprouts is like mould and you've been told that this Christmas hasn't met expectations and the box of chocolate sensations has all gone Remember it's one day and it'll all too soon be over.

Remember it will all be over soon
I was told to write a poem you see, A poem of Suessical proportions I was told to write a poem, just me! So here's my verbal contortion: A cat on a mat Is quite silly But the cat Chose to name the mat "Billy" Billy the friend, There till the end Until the both Left for Chop-Suey Chop-Suey for Billy and Louie (The cat, with the mat named Billy) On a weekend in March Both felt quite parched And afterwords, felt rather "flue-y" "This won't do," said Billy to Lou As they sat inside the house When all of a sudden Cute as a button Out from the wall, came a mouse Zip-Zop-Zibbidy-Bop The furniture came a crashin' As Louie chased the mouse To a shop in Manhattan O me, O my! Said Billy Starting to cry For he was all alone "Do not fear, O mat, my dear For I can call by phone."
