"guffawed" poems
"Sorry I'm late sir... I ran into a strange man down my street who kept following me and asking to borrow my socks. At first I ignored him but realizing he was following me to school, I stopped to question him. When I asked him why he wanted my socks, he said he wanted to smell their musky scent. I flat out asked this man if he had a foot fettish, and he guffawed telling me he had a smell fettish. I quickly speedwalked away from the freaky man and because my nerves were so jumbled, I forgot to grab a pass in the office." Finally notices its a female substitue, and looks at classmates to see their mouths hanging open ready to catch flies "So... I will just sit down now"

my grandfather from liverpool
'O Jesus Christ! I'm hit,' he said; and died. Whether he vainly cursed, or prayed indeed, The Bullets chirped - In vain! vain! vain! Machine-guns chuckled, - Tut-tut! Tut-tut! And the Big Gun guffawed. Another sighed, - 'O Mother, mother! Dad!' Then smiled, at nothing, childlike, being dead. And the lofty Shrapnel-cloud Leisurely gestured, - Fool! And the falling splinters tittered. 'My Love!' one moaned. Love-languid seemed his mood, Till, slowly lowered, his whole face kissed the mud. And the Bayonets' long teeth grinned; Rabbles of Shells hooted and groaned; And the Gas hissed.

The Last Laugh
I like the word oxymoron – probably my favourite English word, It sound derogatory but it is just a figure of speech. I kind of like the word nincompoop but I’d change it a bit to noncompoop which would then I can say is an abbreviation for non-competent **** I made up the word mysticscientist – I know it’s hard to say, perhaps i should shorten it to myscientist. I like the word strumpet, coz even though it sounds like a musical instrument, It’s actually another word for a **** not the eating kind. Another fav of mine is teetotaller, I mean who on earth would ever guess this to mean someone who doesn’t consume alcohol, really who came up with this, I’d really like to know. When young, I learnt a word that truly stuck; It’s guffawed meaning laughed out loud; It’s the prefix guff that completely throws you off, guff out loud, she guffawed or gol like lol! (guff is not a prefix, just saying it looks like one: guffstraying, guffanalysing, guffanance) Everyday I open the dictionary to discover new English words; it’s a wonder to me, that the list keeps growing only 26 letters but still quite amazing.

Only 26 Letters
The day that must carry mourn Wouldn't surprise me if it stood gay The day where most would expect to hear cries Wouldn't surprise me if it stayed guffawed The day where my soul would deserve silence Wouldn't surprise me if it gets filled with jabber The day I shall be dressed in my wedding dress --- a stripped hood Wouldn't surprise me if it didn't shine any light I'd be disappointed not if the grave that would be expected to hold me as my bed Decides to throw me out instead For I, a guilt filled being, doesn't deserve a polite farewell Consequences of my crime-filled mind that religiously only deserves hell So carve on my stone when the time comes “In the memory of … a prostituted **** Who only wished to provide for herself in a land unknown.” Oh! Who am I kidding, I will not even be privileged to become a memory unless I atoned.                                              ~ AllTheLovePS

On My Stone
filled up with enmity coiling up inside The chest billows up Thy want to heave it out Then destined to tranquility The claws scratch the flesh Death gnaws on the remnants of longevity Unless visions have a chest To burst out into effervescence Spontaneous sigh is kicked out of your breath The clavicles sharpen, the eyes ogle ahead The nothingness dilates The flicker has no entrance for itself to adumbrate For utopia has its own gore To marvel over inside, The plasters of bliss Have guffawed over the gullible dusk The gloom has left with a whisper A muttering not to be heard The relief has sewed on flesh With the clouds coming out of thy outburst The relief rebirths the serenity Has been meandered, halted For thou shed leaves Making agony to clouds of no return Utopic defiance, the idiosyncratic anectodes Stains of externalized innundation For the literal existance of hope.

Illusions
You should have been at my place breakfast time O’Brien said to you in the playground after double maths with Miserable Morris we’ve got my little cousin Millie staying for a week and she said this morning as we were sitting eating what was Uncle doing to you in bed last night Auntie? doing? my mother said in a squeaky voice yes Millie went on he was on top of you making big bear noises and you were making squeaky noises like piggy going to market market? my father muttered almost choking like we saw on TV the other night Millie said just a game my mother said going red I stared at Millie waiting for more what were you doing out of bed? my father asked I wanted a glass of water Millie replied and stood by your open door and saw you in the moonlight from the window fun game my mother said just fun I smiled said O’Brien watching the parents drowning over their tea and toast he guffawed and Eddie joined in his blonde hair shaking as he moved but you tried to picture the scene wondering what his parents were doing in bed in the moonlight making animals noises causing Millie concern and guessed it was some game they played as adult did sometimes captured but mostly hid.

AT BREAKFAST TIME.
She informed that there are no rules in this game… I’ll be the chaser and she’ll play my aim… She said I’ll find her at the exit of this maze… After seconds, hours or million and one days… I thought a lot and contemplated… Her charm and hallow predominated… She said that I could have her forever… And that became my only endeavor… There were two paths towards the left and right… The mirrors on the walls were gleaming bright… Each one of them had her reflection… I took a while to make a selection… This maze was a very tricky one… My task I thought had just begun… It had twisted turns and walls so high… There was no one to hear me or reply… Then there were times I met a few other men… We fought for her most often… She was all I desired for… All’s fair in love and war… Leaping the hurdles became a colossal task… But fortitude touched the brim of my cask … I fought my battles like The Samurai’s… Made more foes than allies… I constantly looked out for a short cut… Few doors opened and rest remained shut… I walked and walked as fast as I could… Crossed rivers, valleys and the woods… It got really dark, lonely and cold… But I decided not to withhold… What would they say if I now resign… And if I won then she would be mine… The sky turned coral and the birds sang a song… I could see her waiting and couldn’t prolong… But wait… this is the place where we parted… I was standing right there from where I started… I grabbed her in my arms and planted a kiss… And she reciprocated without amiss… Like children we guffawed together she and I… I lived my life again, in the twinkling of an eye… The game was over and I looked at her… She stood by my side, my past began to blur… But where did she come from and what was her name... Like an enchanted temptress she began to proclaim… My name is happiness and I am hard to keep… But if you want me I am dirt cheap… You hastened inside to lead life without a clue… Exit was where I stood, right beside you… You chose to enter in pursuit of me… Leaving me behind when I stood next to thee… I am not a trophy or a reward for any game… Neither a picture that you can photo frame… I am a feeling, a desire and the madness in love… I am in freedom, in patience and in letting go of… Don’t run after me, I'm omnipresent… Just learn to live, laugh and love to your heart’s content… ~Kathaa Kirti~

I saw this video Of a T-Rex chasing a Jeep Through a parking lot And I laughed. No. I threw my head back and guffawed. Because it was so ******* funny. And my first thought was "She'd love to see this video!" But before I could finish that thought, I began to cry Tears I didn't know still existed in my eyes; Because I instantly remembered You're not here anymore To laugh with me about T-Rexes chasing Jeeps Through abandoned parking lots. And that isn't ******* funny To me.

The two catholic priests sat in the Breakfast Room off the refectory in the abbey. They looked up when you entered then continued their conversation about Dante and you poured yourself a coffee and a small bowl of Cornflakes with a little milk and sugar. You sat down and sipped the coffee. There were prints of Michelangelo on the walls and a crucifix above and between the two doors that led to the refectory where the monks ate three times a day. The priests conversed but said nothing to you. Their words were uttered in posh well bred voices. One said Few believe in Hell these days and even fewer in Paradise and those that do have vague ideas gathered from odd books you find on airport bookshop shelves. You listened half heartedly as they talked. You wanted to ask about the place. Wanted one of them to hear confession. Maybe one to give absolution and perhaps offer a solution. You could hear the footsteps of monks in the other room getting their breakfast of bread and jam and black French coffee. One priest laughed. You never heard the joke. The other guffawed loudly in a girlish voice. And the woman was seen leaving by the back door semi dressed and in great distress the priest continued And Father Denton was never the same. Then they were silent and stood and smiled and went their way. You sat alone in the room. The Michelangelo prints reflected the single bulb hanging above the table. The Crucified seemed above it all. You would find some other to hear confession. To give absolution from your fall.

They met on suspicious times Through masks of fear and desire They strove to build a bold embrace Wrought on matchsticks made of clay Cast down fog over distant cold Beneath, a smoldering uneasiness With visions of indelible beauty illuminating the bleak They braved a tumultuous start To a bliss that rocked their souls The unforgiving moments shattered the fantastic Roaring lions drowned out the singing sirens They could never get ashore They could only burn so bright And surrendered to inevitable twilight Made anew in similar hues But metamorphosis incomplete Venus smiled too soon Time gaffed then cruelly guffawed That laughter shaded the earth As waves of joy turned pools of sorrow She hangs brightly over him In his requiem for unrequited love He mourns for her return He wants to be adored Or he wants it all forgotten Shiny dreams, now hurtful reminders Of limitless undying love Glistening like a million stars Meandering, never to dance again Their love, razed by a time before their time, Chock-full of unbridled potential and power He is haunted by this possible future He can't let her go

She hangs brightly
Looking at the full moon, kerosene flame says, On my forehead, draw a mark of royalty. When you are covered, in the new moon Yet I, with the light, go on lighting. Hearing this the earthen lamp, guffawed People loves more, in worship-prayer. Moon smiled and said, "Listen, both of you." You both are equally meritorious, there is no shame.

Endowment
She was a master of selective amnesia. Would savor the sour sweet ambrosia of self delusion Then wash it down with a mixture of bitter herbs and devices The Straw man burned brightly in the dark of night and brought all those self drawn illusion to light. turning that way then this the roaring fire was self fulfilling. That river in Egypt was flooding her banks now. The Straw man's head sat slightly askew With eyes shut tight against realities glare. She lit the straw man as nightly bonfire and whistled her fantasies in with marshmallow treats then neatly sit cross legged. Sang *** Ba-ya. The straw man crackled and cackled inside. Fingers fit tightly in her ears to cast away and stifle her fears a tried and true method that served her for years. Rose colored goggles pressed tightly on Wrongly or rightly. The Straw man guffawed and snickered as he burned. No fault behavior is a sweet smelling balm... a smooth transistor for a much twisted twister.. Never looking back at the carnage wrought and ensuing.. just whistled while she worked a progressive undoing... Mr Straw-man burned brightly and shook his head slowly from left to right. Knowing full well he was in for a long night.

By The Heat Of Her Strawman
She gave the last push, I slid out swoosh, I didn't want to come, To this world,cumbersome. I refused to cry, The doc would not let me die, I gave out a wail, He beamed,"See, I never fail. The nurse gave me to mum, Tired, dishevelled,utterly happy she stretched out her arms,"Come, come, My handsome chum." Yes,lady, life is going to be fun, You and me, your little one, Where's my old man that brought me here, There he was near mummy dear, Oh my Lord! You have sent me to softies, Not like the last,pretending to be believers in deities, Forced me to live in fear and abuse, These ones of cruelty I cannot accuse. Lord! This time you have changed the stage, A couple, of middle age, Pining  for a child, I smiled, Held mum's thumb, Tried to suck,dumb, Gave the old man a grin, Such happiness I had never seen, I promised to be terrible two from now, The Lord guffawed. 6/6/2019

Born Again
On a bright summer day, A small boy and a man Sat on a bench in a park They knew not one another Yet the tiny tot smiled into his eyes and asked, 'Do you believe in miracles'? The man, amused, Looked up at the heavens in the sky Gazing at the endless, mesmerising blue At the sun he squinted; the glowing ball of fire that warmed the soil A bird chirped, He turned and spotted her vibrant feathers The hills behind him stood tall While the trees danced to the tune of the wind The man then looked at the boy He shook his head; uttered the abrasive syllable The child, filled with disbelief Smirked at the man Then the sky laughed And the sun smiled The bird giggled The earth grinned And the hills guffawed As the man watched on gravely Trapped in his clouded mind That blinded him, Unable to see the blatant miraculous world that stared and mocked

Miracles
I raged with fury, I trembled with shame wishing to be buried, I had turned crimson, Tears brimmed from my eyes, Flooded down my cheeks. My husband hid behind the guests, The guests stared aghast, My mother-in-law slumped on the sofa fast, My sixteen year old daughter giggled, My son guffawed,Dr.Do Little, Me,a centre stage! Because our newly employed houseboy from the village, Copied ditto my husband, Out of nowhere he appeared like a magic wand, Courtesied with a gallant swoon, Saying,"Darling, my **** moon! Will you have something To make you more refreshing."

Embarrased with Anger
It was early evening. Maybe it was early morn. I couldn't tell if the sun had just risen or set, because the clouds in my east window were the same grey as the clouds in my west. It could've been midday, even a really bright midnight. My study was bruised with heavy footfalls and its eyes were weary, flickering and hoping to be shut. Crumpled ideas spilled over from the waste basket that was hopelessly too small to burden all my failures. I buried my head in my hands, too empty to think. It was then, as my hands grabbed my hair and my palms pressed against my eyes, that the knock whispered on my door. I turned to it as it creaked open, and there, in my doorway, stood a man with a chain in his one hand, and my dreams in his other. He had nails like claws and his skin was covered in a mixture of scales and boils and open sores. The sight of the pus oozing from several cracks caused me to scratch my own skin in discomfort. He needed to leave. He wore a pinstriped suit - several sizes too large around the waist and chest, and several too small around his wrists and ankles. He donned a ***** bowler hat that matched his sickly grey suit that had once been a shimmering black. His eyes were smoky and unseeing, yet they pierced me deeply as they stared into my own. His lips were cracked and dry, and a trickle of thick, black tar dribbled down the side of his mouth. Boils and swollen punches covered his ears and he could not hear. His nostrils had grown shut. He tried to open his mouth, but he could not speak. He held out his hand, the one with my dreams, and offered them to me as though they were mine, but secretly knowing they were no one's. Foolishly, I reached for them, and he plucked his arm away. He guffawed a silent, haunting laugh from his ever-shut mouth. He dropped my dreams on the floor, and stamped his unkempt foot upon it. He held out his hand, the one with the chain, offering it to me with sincerity and pity. I hesitated. I obliged. Carefully and gently, he locked my wrist in and patted my hand soothingly. Then he tugged on the chain, pulling it from his jacket pocket until finally, he produced a small and plain, dark grey ball that the chain was connected to. He dropped the ball and it lay beside my colourful, trampled, and crumpled dreams. The message was clear.

It was then, as my hands grabbed my hair and my palms pressed against my eyes, that the knock whispered on my door. I turned to it as it creaked open, and there, in my doorway, stood a man with a chain in his one hand, and my dreams in his other. He had nails like claws and his skin was covered in a mixture of scales and boils and open sores. The sight of the pus oozing from several cracks caused me to scratch my own skin in discomfort. He needed to leave. He wore a pinstriped suit - several sizes too large around the waist and chest, and several too small around his wrists and ankles. He donned a ***** bowler hat that matched his sickly grey suit that had once been a shimmering black. His eyes were smoky and unseeing, yet they pierced me deeply as they stared into my own. His lips were cracked and dry, and a trickle of thick, black tar dribbled down the side of his mouth. Boils and swollen punches covered his ears and he could not hear. His nostrils had grown shut. He tried to open his mouth, but he could not speak. He held out his hand, the one with my dreams, and offered them to me as though they were mine, but secretly knowing they were no one's. Foolishly, I reached for them, and he plucked his arm away. He guffawed a silent, haunting laugh from his ever-shut mouth. He dropped my dreams on the floor, and stamped his unkempt foot upon it. He held out his hand, the one with the chain, offering it to me with sincerity and pity. I hesitated. I obliged. Carefully and gently, he locked my wrist in and patted my hand soothingly. Then he tugged on the chain, pulling it from his jacket pocket until finally, he produced a small and plain, dark grey ball that the chain was connected to. He dropped the ball and it lay beside my colourful, trampled, and crumpled dreams. The message was clear.

From the brilliant striped tents, To the malodorous animal dung, Peanuts, popcorn- Filled the air. I had to- Explore the tents and through the doors, To see the animals that wait for no one. My concerns behind, And nothing but mysteries ahead, I peak in each room, ‘Till I stumble upon the strangest of all. A man with full rose lips, A face as fresh as a new piece of paper, And a foam tomato- Perched upon his nose. He was a laugh to see- Until it all came off. He tugged at the foam tomato, Like burnt flesh, or overcooked leather- A long rod-like nose unfurled from beneath, I was so morbidly curious; I had to see what else was in store. Next the bony fingers grasped the smile- And peeled gradually at the rose red lips. For underneath the smile lay rows of jagged shark teeth. He bared his teeth at me! Those teeth, caked in blood and chipped to a point- Those eyes, have killed, and they have witnessed everything- I will never forget when they stared into my soul. The creature guffawed, Like a monkey, he hooted! And with our eyes still locked, He asked in his creaking diminutive voice “Are you friends with the monsters under your bed?” His teeth flashed once more, And I scampered out of the room, Then I thought to myself. For a clown, he wasn’t really that funny.

the humans ignore me, day and night they let me be, but today, one of them, acting so unusual, walked up to me casually. raven-haired and midnight eyes, questioning me with one that was a surprise, who are you, he asked me, eyes narrowing. moments later, no answer and time flies. i asked him, are you not scared? he stood frozen still as i stared, of course not! he haughtily declared. i snorted and guffawed, i wanted to applaud, but alas, i cannot as my hands are tied behind my back. i said to him that he is human and that he is flawed. i could really see steam coming out of his ears, and i couldn't help but give him my bestest of sneers. it is true that I am imperfect, he said, but I work with my blood, sweat, and tears. before I could answer, though, i could see the sun rising. i ignored the human and continued walking, my powers waning. as soon as i looked away, the urge to turn around compelled me. i looked back and saw that he was never really a human being.
