Nearly Nan (10 words)
lady craighead played the blues on a stand-up samick in the ***** room along side the parsons project and squabbling dogs and night moves stairs creek up the mezzanine trek wool sheets slide on finished floors little angels play late into the seventh (a closing match nearing the midnight hour) croaking toads and cicada sing in the blue moon musty smells and mothballs settle deep in the vault the kettle boils and cat coils as the pump house rolls its heavy drawl the red phone rings and bird clock sings (behind the ruddy stall) a sleeman variation of the ruy lopez employed heartily by the incomparable master jack marble toast burning wringer wash churning chris craft running near the old carp canoe rooster calls and west wind squalls rustle through the porch screen door chicken *** pies and rogue flies linger a rocker chair placed near the  sepia face (softened by the intricate frame) donkey in tow (with a fastened *** maggie in her dreams of green tambourines the nocturnes reflections and whispering gospel bells tractors pull on the grinder stone horses lay still in the mid-day sun a trump card is fingered at the furnace click (crosswords and puzzles are next!) while the sparrow *and that **** rabid fox* are drowning deep in castles well

Mulholland Lane
Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Day Sunshine**. The Night Before was A Hard Day’s Night. I, Me, Mine, I mean, I Feel Fine, Better, than I ever felt In My Life. I spent midnight in the Strawberry Fields down by Moonlight Bay. I was Searchin’ for Maggie Mae but met up with Penny Lane so we ran around in Circles till it started to Rain. Yesterday was Something , but I can change I promise you that I Will. From Me To You , I can be more than The Fool On The Hill. Yes It Is, a little silly, but I Just Don't Understand. Why you constantly lose faith in this Nowhere Man. But We Can Work It Out, Because, well I Need You, but all you got to do is believe Like Dreamers Do. © Matthew Harlovic

Beatles
Sometimes, when you listen to their enounciation. You realize, just how beautiful they speak in their British accent. Every word expressively spoken. That you're mermorized by each vocal. Maggie Smith, the lady of class. Cary Grant, the man of taste. Oh, that British voice. That you might chose , if had you that choice. Or seek ways to adapt them to yours. Michael Redgrave/Michael Rennie/Vanessa Regraves All of them had that lovable voice. Then you notice the beautiful Julie Andrew. Words spoke so you see the greatness of the phase. Which we notice too in Richard Attenborough. Who reminds many of Richard Burton? Yes, the British accent. You just got to love it Similar to loving Honor Blackman when she speaks. A great difference from Jacqueline Bissett. Except written about them with great respect. Who can't admire the British Accent? Yes, there's the French. And I'm not kicking it. Then , there's Spanish. Which has more trying to learn it. But this is about the English and the various style of vocals. Colin Barker and Prince Williams the Royals speaks so wonderful. Just like, the man called Michael Caine. I just have to mention Deborah Kerr. That also goes for Joan Collin. It's something about their style of speaking. Maybe because you understand every spoken word. Which is level toward the great Timothy Dalton. And Samantha Eggar and **** Jagger. Plus, the late David Niven. And honorable mention to Julie Christie. Jane Asher, Hugh Grant and several more. Have you wishing to make their voices be yours. Yes, the British Accent just so lovable. And the greatest things about it. You don't have to be famous to be adored.

This contains swearwords!!!! Do you know what it’s like to be on the dole? The giro, the social, the rock and roll, Well I’m tellin you now, that it’s no laff, No heat or food, round at my gaff, I can’t pay the bills on fifty three quid, This is how I live; I’m tellin ye kid, No Lecky, or water, or comfy bed, Nowhere to lay my educated head, You’s think I’m brewsted on state benefit, Well I’m tellin ye now, life is **** No jobs are goin in my town, This whole ****** country is goin down, I look every day for a job to do, Over qualified under qualified, scew you, I’d brush your path, deliver your dinner, My options for work get thinner and thinner, But we get the blame for the country’s debt, And seen in your eyes as a useless get, We are not scroungers and living like kings, We can’t afford the simple things, We can’t take our kids to Blackpool pier, Or to the fair, it’s just too dear, It’s not our fault the system let us down, Schooling was crap, but I got a cap and gown, So don’t look at me, like I’m **** I’ve bettered meself to get out of this pit, I’m clever and proud and I stand tall, I make something out of nothing, coz I’ve got **** all, You won’t tread us down, yeah that’s right, We got fire in our bellies and where ready to fight, We’re not greedy for a fancy lifestyle. The simple things make us smile, So quit avin a go, at our worlds apart, I’m scouse and proud, with a lions heart, So live well in your mansion, apartment, or detached, Coz were the generation that Maggie hatched, Yeah that’s right were Maggie’s crew, The under privileged, not like you, Time to step up the Cameron’s and Clegg’s, Coz you’ve sat long enough on Thatcher’s eggs.

Remoaners to the left, Brextremists to the right, Theresa “Maggie” May has an uphill fight. I can’t see her lasting many more days, Unless she changes her stubborn ways. Theresa is an immovable object. Her hubby must be totally henpecked. Trying to please just everyone, Annoying all is what she’s done. Right now she is UK Prime Minister, But her own back benchers are getting sinister. Some say she’s sold us down the river, A thing for which they can’t forgive her. Others claim she’s gone too far, As we should stay just where we are. Some see Europe as our friend, But others say the UK we must defend. Ireland is a sticking point A thing that’s gonna rock the joint. They don’t know where to put the border, Without causing grief and disorder. What an impasse, feels like stalemate, Are we heading to be a slave state? Who knows what’s going to happen next? No wonder we are all perplexed. Paul Butters © PB 17\11\2018.

Welcome Estival Festival
Below are eleven Buson haiku beginning with the phrase 'The short night--' The short night-- on the hairy caterpillar beads of dew. The short night-- patrolmen washing in the river. The short night-- bubbles of crab froth among the river reeds. The short night-- a broom thrown away on the beach. The short night-- the Oi River has sunk two feet. The short night-- on the outskirts of the village a small shop opening. The short night-- broken, in the shallows, a crescent moon. The short night-- the peony has opened. The short night-- waves beating in, an abandoned fire. The short night-- near the pillow a screen turning silver. The short night-- shallow footprints on the beach at Yui. User Submitted "The short night--" Haiku Submit your own haiku beginning with the line "The short night--" and we'll post the best ones below! Just dash off an e-mail to: [email protected] The short night- a watery moon stands alone over the hill Maggie The short night-- just as I'm falling asleep my wife's waking up Larry Bole

Variations on 'The short night
Come up north to see the great outdoors Rolling hills Scenes leaving you wanting more Never mind the weather Whether its rain or shine Grab a pint Sit down And enjoy our way of life Born and bred northern boy But no flat cap or corduroys Yorkshire til the day I die I'll represent that West Yorks sign Faithful to my northern life Faithful to my northern rhyme Brought up well with northern vibes Through hard times, miners strike Times when maggie thatcher tried to stir up **** with lies designed Got miners and police to fight But don't believe that southern hype... Those brutal battles gave us life It redefined our future times Redefined our future lines Redefined the northern kind Redefined our northern humour Redefined our northern style Tourists come from far and wide to find out what the North is like Expecting lack of cultured life Surprised we're not uncultured swines Rewarded with our northern minds Our northern ways Our northern lives Come up north to see the great outdoors Rolling hills Scenes leaving you wanting more Never mind the weather Whether its rain or shine Grab a pint Sit down Enjoy our way of life

Born and Bred
Larry, the man who terraformed Mars, has a scar over his left eye. Maggie, his younger sister, could not make up her mind. Her brother was a Star Man. She was left behind. Maggie swam in the ocean Larry paid a fine. Maggie liked tequila Larry was back on Earth. He liked snorting space rocks By the basement furnace hearth. Larry got a parking ticket Maggie passed out in the sand She did not feel a single thing When she was ****** there by a man. The baby was coming in April and Maggie went to the clinic Larry thought about Venereal tides While he was out having a picnic. Larry, the man who terraformed Mars, has a scar over his left eye. Maggie, his younger sister, could not make up her mind. Her brother was a Star Man. She was left behind. Maggie swam in the ocean Larry paid a fine. Maggie is now a single mother In the house with a furnace hearth. Larry never came back down The last time he left Earth.

Twin Planets
Things sometimes fall apart Among sisters and brothers, No matter what they once were. Childhood picnics and dreamy games, Memories of trips with Dad, Since Mom was tired of us. We would climb Appalachian peaks Or drive to look at the Mayflower. Every summer there was a golden week A lakeside cottage and all-day swims In crystal water, becoming mermaids. But time passes and bitterness accrues. Imagined slights grow like slow tumors, Never excised but nurtured by some. I go to college and am freed From the poison of ignorant rage, From the creeping depression left Like diesel fog on an endless floor. Four or five years of delight pass With only hints here or there Of a sibling’s misery at home. Of a once close sister, Maggie, Who is ignored and never loved By any man she pursues. She blames me for it, for reasons I have yet to fathom. Of a brother, Francis, deluded, drugged, Steals the family car in a rage And drives to New York City. Of Deirdre, the middle sister, Whose friend who knows men who feed On her ignorance and rebellion. Only Susannah tries to rise above The maelstrom of misery. I send her to a school far away And she sheds despair, at least. Decades drawl, children are born to us, While the bridge between us, obscured, Sags and frays under weight of rancor. Christmas dinners and birthday parties Turn into chores, invitations kept as scores. Petty grudges, like acid, sever the bridge At last, all ties are abandoned. When we are all grown and scattered, No one speaking to anyone else, Unaware, uncaring about the others. Only Susannah visits me and smiles, With no ulterior plan for insane revenge, Or accusations for errant slights. Her once dark hair is grizzled and wild And her girlish skin now creased. But her treacle eyes, “black aggies”, I used to call them, still shine. Only Susannah writes a letter, Wishing us well and Healing scars made by others, Returning the word “family”. To my basket of small treasures, I carry with me Into the twilight.

I ain't goin' back to Maggie's farm no more To thatch that old black barn Already done it twice Done that thing most my life Someone else's turn now for sure Ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother don't you see He'll not be using me Bought his wife an Aston Martin For turning forty three He couldn't even bother   To make a cup of tea It all seems so appealing When you're young and fit Thirty five years later Feel I've done my bit Been a faithful servant Couldn't ask for more Now I'm looking forward To the final straw

destiny (Maggie Grace's awh challenge)
When great aunt Maggie passed away years ago, the one thing I really missed was her angelic voice. The swaggering, sing-song lilt of the mid-Derry accent was as sweet as the confections she used to pass out to us as kids: The inflection, the intonation, and the slight lisp she brought to it was so gloriously unique but was never heard again. I often wish I could go back with a tape recorder to capture it in all its glory and relive how wonderful she was. Now all I have is a untranslatable memory that can't be brought back to even vaguely approximate what it meant to me. And now here I am again with the same obstacle. The same tones, the same inflections albeit through a different light have just been extinguished before me. This time there was no digital device rushing in to capture our time before it ran out. No instinct for preservation was forthcoming - we were too busy having fun & 'being here now'. No, once again I am bereft: All I I have is here (in my heart) and and here (in my head) The loved sounds I miss will always resound there albeit without backup Voices lost but not forgotten.

“What can a poem do?” —————————- ***”A poem is a not a tourniquet when you’re bleeding. It’s not water when you’re thirsty or food when you’re hungry. A poem can’t protect you from an airstrike, or from abduction, or from hate. It’s hard to write when our words feel like they’re not enough—they can’t do the real, tangible work of saving lives, or making people safer.”*** (see (1) Maggie Smith) <~> as is my wont, I write, as is my Natted~inhabited, retiring to the local watering holes of Cerebrum & Cerebellum, them regular haunts, where all requests are mailed, processed, satisfied & marked; ‘return & render to the sender, who’s on a cerebral ****** and that request? ‘give me the words’ (2) those ‘to do’ words, floaters, direct to top of list, those ‘can do’ words, that can effect the affect, spare the despair, realize the fungible, concretize cures, soften hard waters, giving a worsening worn life fabric a curated baby blanket feel, a 4-ply human tissue of ‘words that tell me everything’ (2) salve solution verbs that bounty-wipe spills in entirety, vacuum up spillage spoiling of 17 days of terrible nouns, uncovered-unknown rages caused by inflicting prepositions released a hatred rising, safety rebury it deeper, drug & destruct the sleeper agents, and let me start over again with ‘telling me everything by saying nothing’ (2) the pausal silence, the quieted spaces tween the heartbeats, where ‘reflection,’ the noun, and its world of alternations, reflection, the noun, look inwards, but shining outward, this, this! is where the poem goes to do! enervating & arresting its contradictory powers rock you into wild docility, possessive and submissive, contradictory interferences, smoothing the roughness, closing the gaps it opens, healing the caused truthful cuts, with words that tell you everything and nothing, open the holes, filling the gaps, that is what a poem do, in and by the manner it is spoken… <~> “Sometimes a poem is the stone you carry in your pocket—the one you rub when you’re worried.  Let’s fill our pockets with poems.” (see (1) Maggie Smith)

Dear Maggie Grace, I find you to be a phenomenal poet. I want to recognize, acknowledge, and express my admiration, for all of your marvelous work, you are a beautiful part of this site and I have selected some of my favorite lines from your work. It is all really spectacular, and I have put my interpretations and thoughts below each poetic phrase you wrote: Drinking my cold chai tea, Tears falling endlessly. -Maggie Grace This is so vivid and genuine. The reality and physicality captured by these lines is fascinating and incredible. The description of the sensory so simply yet brilliantly put. I love your style of poetry. Also, chai tea is amazing. ;P “Yes, I’m fine,” And people believe me, -Maggie Grace You bring to focus such an achingly relatable topic. To be so indescribably not fine, but to say it anyway and to have people believe you, it is a unique and unpretty type of pain. Weaving their web of lies, Their pain they hide. Don’t say hurtful things, -Maggie Grace I love, love LOVE these lines “weaving their web of lies” such magnificent imagery WOW! And the message you convey is such a vital one. To fight against hurtful words. Save the teenage girl, she needs her life, she needs her everything, stop bullying. -Maggie Grace Bullying is such a global, agonizing problem and you have truly snared the essence of the anguish of being bullied. You are an excellent poet. I like to wander in the snow, and think about things, like you. -Maggie Grace You paint a picture with words here, and so many of us can really connect with that sort of feeling, a pensive mood, pondering another soul in this world. The setting you provide is lovely. “To wander in the snow” how delicate and beautiful. Maggie Grace, Thank you for blessing Hello Poetry with your presence. I am proud to call you a fellow poet, I could really feel your soul in the poetic pieces you compose and you have a beautiful soul from what I can tell. Keep writing, because you are a credit to the art of writing. :) Love Ember Evanescent

Don’t say hurtful things, -Maggie Grace I love, love LOVE these lines “weaving their web of lies” such magnificent imagery WOW! And the message you convey is such a vital one. To fight against hurtful words. Save the teenage girl, she needs her life, she needs her everything, stop bullying. -Maggie Grace Bullying is such a global, agonizing problem and you have truly snared the essence of the anguish of being bullied. You are an excellent poet. I like to wander in the snow, and think about things, like you. -Maggie Grace You paint a picture with words here, and so many of us can really connect with that sort of feeling, a pensive mood, pondering another soul in this world. The setting you provide is lovely. “To wander in the snow” how delicate and beautiful. Maggie Grace, Thank you for blessing Hello Poetry with your presence. I am proud to call you a fellow poet, I could really feel your soul in the poetic pieces you compose and you have a beautiful soul from what I can tell. Keep writing, because you are a credit to the art of writing. :) Love Ember Evanescent

I can float like a boat And swim like a fish But I cannot live in the sea The land where I can stand Is meant for me Whose land? Will it be? Maggie Sorbie Sept 25th 2016

The Refugee
Well I used to pick you up after work and we would go drink beer and eat pita bread sandwiches while we played pool all night long until closing time . You had a Martin Guitar and a voice to sing that made the angelics cry . You were friends of Maggie's fame , the Angel from Montgomery . Together the two of you would sing and stun the audience . The people couldn't believe it . You were my Girl Friday next to Sunday's release . You were good enough on weekends but the rest of the week not . So sing The Song Of The Turtles as Blind Joe Death dances away . I found out the hard way it takes seven days to make a week .

Best Girl Friday
You're happy maggie You taught me a lot  The forest was our adventure The daytime was our adventure I filled your bowls We fell asleep on each other We're both afraid of thunderclaps And you could make me smile No one can do that I held you when you were sick today You looked so sad And it completely shattered my heart And I fell on the pieces of it I couldn't believe it I will be with you when you go It'll be hard but, Deep breath Deep Breath. Thank You

Maggie May
The Fox sisters of Rochester lived in a haunted house. A spirit there was stirring That was probably not a mouse. Spirits rapped upon the walls and on the window panes. The sisters Fox would rap right back according to their claims. The Foxes were sensations, The Belles of Halloween Their Séances well attended By the credulous, T’would seem. Spirit fever gripped the land With rapping on a table (Maggie Fox was double jointed And the whole thing was a fable.) It’s hard to sell your real estate when it’s a haunted home. But when spooks rap, rap right back You’ll never be alone.

Mediums, well done
Lars lifts opens the toilet seat. The hinge squawks and he mimics the sound with his mouth. A dumb smile folds out on his face like someone unrolling a beach towel. He sits without dropping his pants or underwear. The cops are just about to leave through the screen door. Maggie offers a departing sacrament of right out of the oven of crispy flakey Pillsbury biscuits. They wave their hands parallel to the ground refusing. Maggie pulled the biscuits out too early. The bottoms are tan and dimensional but the tops are sloppy. They look like they have a glaze but they don’t have a glaze. They are pasty but still hot to the touch. The pan is hot. Maggie is wearing maroon oven mitts. One of the cops gets his foot snagged on the throw rug. They walk with their heads down but don’t notice the curled edges of the throw rug. They notice a black pug named Roger instead and nearly avoid fumbling over him. The cops scatter outside quickly like ducklings crossing the street. Lars’ dumb smile lingers and he laughs with a shushing lisp. He reaches between his legs into the toilet bowl. His hand disturbs the water. His nose is bleeding. Maggie closes the doorwall after the cops leave. The cops left the screen open. Maggie reopens the doorwall, closes the screen, shakes her head, and then closes the doorwall again. The kitchen is humming with improper wires. The light is electric pastel blue. The linoleum is too ***** to sleep on. Maggie’s ******* can be seen through her shirt. Lars wipes his nose with his arm and shoulder. He is hunched digging into the toilet bowl. He pulls out a baggie with a twist tie on top. The baggie looks reused. Maggie enters under the frame of the door and her lips roll out like a beach towel. The ******* in the baggie is very very dry.
