"hmms" poems
Here comes the days of craving tasteless food
To dip biscuits in tea by your bed
Today I'm the exact opposite of a *****
Groans and hmms and spitting red
Oh, but wait, my nose unblocked
I breathe with both nostrils now
The movie I just watched totally rocked
I feel like sleeping again, but how?
Toss and turn, take a pill
Blowing my nose some more
Cough drops? No, I've got nil
**** my throat will stay sore

Friendly phone calls,
Simple voice-mails of succinct words,
Hmms and umms of hesitation and deliberation.
Speak it just so,
And listen!
Enthusiasm pours through one speaker,
And resounds on the other end.
An inquiry made by an intellect with intriguing intent.
Contriving combinations of causes for contacting
this woman of his wishful thoughts.
Today,
Happenstance brought happiness,
With a serendipitous sighting and salutation.
Tremors tiptoed across his voice,
Telling of his thrill at the encounter.
He ponders if there is reciprocation,
As she hesitates at recognition
That this could be more then friendly.

"Opinions,
Criticism,
Words of Wisdom"
That's all I ever hear from you.
"Wells, hmms,
I thinks, well maybe you shoulds"
Constantly running through my ears.
That's all I ever hear from you.
"It's okay, this one isn't good.
Delete this one! Well delete them all, actually."
Can't you keep your thoughts to yourself?
That's all I ever hear from you.
For once,
I'd like to hear a congratulations!
Is that too much to ask for?
That's all I ever want to hear from you.
Haven't you ever head the word "praise"?
It means telling me, for once,
I've done well.
That's all I ever want to hear from you.
Is any of this
Too much to ask for?
'Cause I'm tired,
Tired of all this criticism.
