"menfolk" poems
Like sentinels of days gone by They're silhouettes against the sky A headstone for those still below A monument we proudly show Of times when our tin was the very best when quality counted not paying less When the work was hard and the day was long And the mines were filled by the miners song Their hymns tell tales of life in the deeps where darkness surrounds and dampness creeps where disaster can be just a minute away and you thanked the lord for every day For generations all our menfolk proudly joined the line never once imagining that we'd outlast the mine

A Cornish tale
Winds from far foreign climes beats upon the Lizard rocks Gulls driven towards the blackest of crags, yet pass over safely inland In the darkest skies they wheel and spin as if torn by some giant’s hand White horses gallop crests of waves as they rush towards tiny harbours There to crash savagely and rend cut stones from their secured places Men work to save their boats, fighting the storm which mothers sent Nature conspires to take their very lives as they struggle with her might Rocks gnash their teeth and boats not safe yet, pass near their faces Hoping for the safety of their port, men’s white faces line their gunwales Black, white, red, blue and yellow, boats colours lost within the spray These same boats that forge the men they carry out upon the sea’s wrath But now just seek to bring them safely home to their worried wives Their women stand upon the quay or stare worried from their windows Churchyards on the hills above seaside villages filled with headstones Men’s deaths caused by storms in past times of fishing for their living Leaving spouses, their children to carry on their traditions and religion Headstones cut from the very granite of the weather worn Lizard cliffs Menfolk deep beneath the Cornish loam, there to rest for all eternity Whilst below in the thrashing storm, the families fight once again Then as quickly as it came, the storm blows out, waters return to placid Men stretch their aching backs, those hidden from storm turn out The seaman’s mission helps as it can the fractured families And church maybe rings for those lost out to sea, never to be seen again There will be time to mourn, and the village will then lament together And those who are left, they return to their sacred craft of netting fish Return to shining calm, to ply their trade, to bring food to this isles shore

OUR POVERTY HAS COLOUR Alexander K Opicho (Eldoret, Kenya; [email protected]) Most illusive and elusive Like the devils of Congo forest Is the impish poverty Permeating all seals with vicious wily Into the midst of callous humanity Biting country men and country women With carnivorous dentalities so ruthless Putting man to a forlorn shame As the wife looks in desperate flaggerbastation Putting matriarchal womenfolk to humiliation As the expectant sire wallow in the askance of looks Condemning communities to status ad absurdum initio Thinning man from man, culling woman from woman Eating flesh by flesh social koprpers of man Eating the native flesh in the farms of Brazil Tearing the ***** steak into ghetto lacerations of Chicago Whizzling sombre morning tunes to the Zulus in the black tundra Cementing pale casted clusters for the Patels of India Commanding suave drills to poor (wo) menfolk; left! Left! Left! –abouuuuturn! With its accomplice Mr. Hunger son of starvation, they both command drills For black factory workers, Maids and gravediggers to dance Watchmen, thieves and prostitutes to match In the hinterland of Africa all the riff-raff in deep despair Dance in a tandem to the irritating drills of the duo; You come on! Left! Right! Left! Right!—fowaaard match! Backward match! Left! Right! Left! Right! Sharpp uuuuuuuturn! The duo communiqué; Go home and wait for your pay announcement. Surely; what colour is our poverty?

Menfolk
When you find her love her Hold her real tight Get her coffee in the morning Keep her warm at night The last thing that you ever want Is to drive that girl away So when you find her love her and She will always stay. Might take lots of lookin’ Good woman’s hard to find Admit it man, You and me, we ain’t no prize of any kind. We’re rough around the edges Ain’t got no smooth lines So when you find her love her And she will treat you fine. Yeah, when you find her love her Hold her real tight Get her coffee in the morning Keep her warm at night The last thing that you ever want Is to drive that girl away So when you find her love her and She will always stay. See women they are wary Far as menfolk are concerned Seems somewhere in their lifetime Most all of them’s been burned. She’s gonna look right through you Deep into your soul, So when you find her love her And she will make you whole. Yeah, when you find her love her Hold her real tight Get her coffee in the morning Keep her warm at night The last thing that you ever want Is to drive that girl away So when you find her love her and She will always stay. She might have some baggage Made a wrong turn or two Better look into the rearview mirror King of baggage might be you! Then both you go and pack those bags In the trunk of that used car And read the map together So you both know where you are. Yeah, when you find her love her Hold her real tight Get her coffee in the morning Keep her warm at night The last thing that you ever want Is to drive that girl away So when you find her love her and She will always stay. Last thing that you ever want Is to drive that girl away So when you find her love her And she will always stay. Yeah drive away together Bags packed and stored away When you find her love her And she will always stay. Phil Lindsey 4/24/15

Breast simple
Your pupils dilate when you daydream of me, I'm the focus of your erratic emotions. Big birds and sharks circle below and above, I'm your very own psychotropical ocean. Goddesses weep that they'll never have me, I'm the desire of all women and menfolk. You're just a drop in my nicotine sea, I'm your Revelator, forever and amen. I open the book with seven tight seals, Peter man's the gate to a white scale paradise. A place for us who can heal the sick and lame, You darling dear will know nothing  of this. My eyes full of water I struggled to see, The physical signs of repeated emotion. They opened my skull so they could finally see, The darkness inside that caused all the commotion. Mother boiled water and she made me some tea, The darkened swirls combined with the clear water. She mixed it then with some sweet honey, Made me promise you'd never be her daughter. Your pupils dilate when you daydream of me, I'm the focus of your erratic emotions. Big birds and sharks circle below and above, I'm your very own psychotropical ocean.

There's many pairs I've fathomed A poets stock and trade A thousand couples counted And a hundred poems made But I'm awash with bafflement A word eludes my wits My sleep is interrupted And it's getting on **** Nothing rhymes with 'women' I've run fresh out of words I'm sick and tired of 'wenches' And bored to death with 'birds' It's hard to write a love song To 'crumpet' or to 'totty' Yes, nothing rhymes with women Those women drive me ***** There's loads of rhymes for 'menfolk' And equally for 'men' ’Aggressive' goes with 'Passive' And 'Possessive' now and then My brain is drained and knackered And almost rhymes with 'lead' I'd like to rhyme with someone else And leave them in my stead For nothing rhymes with women And I loath abbreviation There'll surely be no rimmin' Or unsightly punctuation The odds are stacked against me So, exhausted, I persist To find a rhyme for women A word to coexist

I will do you this service on the understanding that you will stop attributing blame to your undeserving neighbours and get on with your life like a decent human being.

A Proposition for Readers of the Daily Mail
Journeyed from a far off land through the forest across the sand like a restless beast never at peace wandered for years laughter and tears A family of wanderers have traveled the path acrobats and see'ers jugglers and rats all move together for it would seem safety in numbers they're often seen Raven haired beauties with large almond eyes pry coins from the menfolk tell them sweet lies they stay for awhile then they move on when their welcome is truly gone misunderstood for hundreds of years the travelers have wandered despite all our fears the gypsies have lived like we wish we all could living and laughing loving as they should don't be so hard on those you don't know could be a friend let you in from the cold.

In from the cold
Verily, verily, I wilt thole the strenuous measure Without thee in mine Reach. Thine countenance do I seek in Sainthood luster;                                      O' how I needeth thee mine                                          beloved of cherubic power,                  Tis the moonlight hour's I dieth to layeth mine brow Upon thine own. Sweat cover's me, I needeth mine Abode, for thou art mine home; In which I hath sought after Since afore the age of Noah.                                                          O' how this locution screameth out loud to the crowd's of emptied lonesome-hearted mad Men. Mine darling, àgapi mou, best friend. Tis not the end- Only the beginning.                        I glance keenly dearest jane- Into meadow's wherein the pool's of life art made for one man And his wife, as godly intended;                                                          Foregone art the soul's that shalt                                         wait ourn arrival, they've been waiting endlessly to enter us inside. O' Queen Jane, Filipino treasure of mine; O' how we shalt dine and feast amongst the golden pathway's and see-through streets, bare **** feet to lead ourn spiritual direction, ourn agápi reflecting Yahweh's glow in three- Dimensional complexion. One day to be as babes, Unchained, not slaves to menfolk's rule- A place wherein one enters by the amount of love they've given And hath shown, a kingdom                                                    Wherein we shalt be renewed.      ©Brandon Nagley ©Lonesome poets poetry ©Earl Jane Nagley dedicated ( àgapi mou) dedicated

Clothes held close as menfolk left. Clutched close to wifely bodies. The scent of that last embrace. She smells his left behind clothes again. Nobody else knows his smell. It tickled her nose. Memories of last moments of closeness. This moment maybe their last dance. Uniforms of formality in such organised organisations. Firm protection of noble nations. Action stations, yet again. And the death bell tolled. And the trains rolled into the station. Waiting to clamber on to the war bound train. Walking away. Heads held high. Stiff upper lip. After kisses goodbye. Which of the bedfellows will survive? It's a long drawn out slog. This war is a dog. Big. Black. Vicious. Still alive? (c) Livvi

UNIFORMS
Today I walk, hesitating and scared. All the way I wonder will I be spared? At home stay them, those loved ones who debate within imagine me chased by guns. Today is the day all my folk are silenced, taken for granted, eternally fenced. It is me, the voice of the women who surrender, those very women, victims of the thunder. those very women whose bodies have been scarred, those very women whose lives have been marred. By what means, By what reason Am I exploited, maimed by treason? Who gives menfolk The power to **** To ****** to remove the dignity I drape? I have every strength, I have all you do. In fact much more and rationality too. All I declare, all that I make clear Enough is Enough, Do you hear? I've given you more than you've ever deserved. Gone are the days I acted reserved. This shall not be repeated so get it right. Touch me and beware of the wrath of my might.

The land it's name was faraway. A land so pretty, The land where fairies play. The grass verdant and succulent. Glows in the midday sun. The trees bow inadvertently to the fairies passing by. Fairies bearing various gender. Girl folk with flowing straw like hair, bound with strands of strawberry flair. Menfolk wearing doublet and hoes. Black and green. Obvious features, all fairy men folk sport a pointed nose. Elder folk, they have aching knees. Hair tinged with tiger stripes of grey and black. Could have been zebra stripes,but the elderly fairies, can be just a little spritely, temperamental at times. They sit under willow trees. Writing, busking rhymes. Listen without witness, you'll swear you'll hear them sing. Leave a pretty penny in the spot where you have been. Walk silently away. Peer over your left shoulder and you may just glimpse the fairy queen. If you should be so lucky. (c)Livvi

BUSKING
By Arcassin Burnham In a trance with a different light in mind, I provoke, Like the entertaining women dancing for their menfolk, That's a joke, Degradation of women is not the subject mostly when Need to be told, I guess it might be getting old, Solid gold, Chambers with secrets in it like Harry Potter, Feeling elevated off the ground like a helicopter, Cops and robbers, Tell the coppas that I did not shoot the sheriff, Guess they'll shoot me down anyway call them Heart stoppers, Have no beef with anyone , I'm more like the safe haven, More like a beacon, if you want heaven then just behave and, Life is too short to be worried about a grave and, Your mom just lost her job and your dad is on the deep end, Do what's ....best for your life despite the things you've seen around You, You're a.. Lost cause to them, but you'll make it , they won't be better than You, You buss your *** everyday to pick up on the homework but you can't Concentrate on the lessons because of a kid that that picked at you and bothered you your whole life, But your more than meets the eye, okay.

...besides the LORD, and my menfolk:  Nobody. (sonnet #MMMMMCMLXXXIX) I meant to 'gin:  Officious.  Sunday thence With echoes of religious duties they'll Assure you's needful, 'til in sheer betrayl Tis sin to not be there and an offense To sleep-in, whilst the shabby bow from hence To cold hauteur and know god has a scale Whereby we measure worth by gain's detail-- But I've forgotten whither, in a sense. Come, which is better?  Oh yes, to be sure Like he said 'long ere:  "say whatever--" to Add, "--but stand on it too."  If church is poor Cuz that's pretense, so is aught falsehood.  Do I be a hyp'crite in love too, well you're Allowed to censure me.  Who owns me?  Who? 23Oct16a

when it really matters
Cleansings by Michael R. Burch Walk here among the walking specters. Learn inhuman patience. Flesh can only cleave to bone this tightly if their hearts believe that God is good, and never mind the Urn. A lentil and a bean might plump their skin with mothers’ bounteous, soft-dimpled fat (and call it “health”), might quickly build again the muscles of dead menfolk. Dream, like that, and call it courage. Cry, and be deceived, and so endure. Or burn, made wholly pure. One’s prayer is answered, “god” thus unbelieved. No holy pyre this—death’s hissing chamber. Two thousand years ago—a starlit manger, weird Herod’s cries for vengeance on the meek, the children slaughtered. Fear, when angels speak, the prophesies of man. Do what you "can," not what you must, or should. They call you “good,” dead eyes devoid of tears; how shall they speak except in blankness? Fear, then, how they weep. Escape the gentle clutching stickfolk. Creep away in shame to retch and flush away your ***** from their ashes. Learn to pray.

Cleansings, a Holocaust poem
There were sisters three, and they all were free In a town called Tavistock, Freer than they would want to be As they stared at the Town Hall Clock. ‘Our time is running ahead of us They will soon call us ‘Old Maid’, Said sister Jill to the younger Phil, And the eldest one, called Jade. ‘So why don’t the menfolk look at us, We’re not that hard on the eye, Certainly better than Betty Watts Who married the stable guy.’ ‘I danced with him, did you know?’ said Phil, ‘By God, he’s a clumsy oaf, He kept on tripping over his boots, And stamped on all of my toes.’ ‘I had a line on the fisherman,’ Said Jill, ‘and I thought I’d win, I’d give it a month or two to set, And then I would reel him in. But Nancy Croft got her hooks in him And I see they’ve tied the knot, I said, ‘but you were going with me!’ He said, ‘Oh! I’d forgot.’ Then Jade had turned with a waspish look And she said, ‘Well, look at me! I’m the eldest and should be wed By rights, the first of three. There’s only a single guy in town, He’s the only one that’s left, I heard him say he’s going away, He’s an army boy, called Jeff.’ But Jill and Phil said, ‘He’s not yours, It’s the one that gets there first,’ They were in favour of drawing straws, But Jade had stamped and cursed. They said they’d ask him around to tea They’d cook up muffins and toast, And then they’d see what they all would see, By whom he talked to most! He came attired in his uniform His scabard by his side, Placed his sword on the mantelpiece Where Jade stroked it with pride. ‘My, but you’re a fine gentleman And I see you play the fife, How sad, you’ll march to a battle cry Without a beautiful wife.’ He sat perturbed, and he looked at them, At each one in their turn, ‘If only there were three of me,’ He said, but his cheeks had burned. The sisters jostled to catch his eye, Were heated and dismayed, ‘I know a way we can settle this!’ And Jill had reached for the blade. She swung the sword and before they knew, The soldier lay in halves, She’d cleft him, clean through the waist, and then She’d cut off both his arms. To Jade the head and the torso went, To Phil, arms worn like a shawl, Which left Jill what was below the waist, (She had the most fun of all!) David Lewis Paget

The Courtship of Sisters Three

Fare thee well / child //
Just twelve, I swear, I must have been The day they took the Witch of Steen And put a halter round her neck To teach her magic some respect. The women in the village square Tore off her clothes, and pulled her hair Then called their menfolk out to view Who crossed them there, what they would do. They tied her hands behind her back The rope around her neck was slack, But tied to Jethro’s stubborn mule They led her naked, like some fool. And all her secrets lay out there Uncovered, in the open air, She looked quite beautiful to me Her naked form, such artistry. The mule dragged her, painful and slow Along the lanes where they would go As gusts of breeze blew out her hair, Revealed what she was hiding there. And I, I followed, just a lad Whose eyes were full of her, by god, Whose ******* were pert and firm back then Whose thighs held secrets, hid from men. I saw that tiny tuft of hair That hid her womanhood in there, That plagued me since, for every night I’d think of it in dread delight. But still they led her, lane and field No place that she was not revealed, They took her to the ducking pond Where life or death would lie beyond. And when they laid the ducking stool With her aboard, across the pool, Her voice rang out, this buxom maid With words the villagers dismayed. ‘For all that you come judging me, Look to yourselves, your pedigree, What sons and daughters sprang at night From phantom fathers, bred in spite.’ ‘When husbands were out tending fields And wives would wait, temptation yields. What shadows stood by window ledge Gained entry to some marriage bed?’ The women quaked before her spell And screamed, then ducked the witch to hell And would have left her there to drown Had not the menfolk brought her round. In mercy then, they set her free And she had screamed, ‘A curse on thee! ‘Your cattle will roam free and late Your catch won’t hold the cattle gate.’ ‘Your crops will flatten in the fields When hail and sleet destroy their yields, And mud will fill your village hall, Your church collapse, your roofs will fall.’ She left there with a final shout The things she cursed, they came about, But I was left a lifetime dream, That naked witch, the Witch of Steen.

They tied her hands behind her back The rope around her neck was slack, But tied to Jethro’s stubborn mule They led her naked, like some fool. And all her secrets lay out there Uncovered, in the open air, She looked quite beautiful to me Her naked form, such artistry. The mule dragged her, painful and slow Along the lanes where they would go As gusts of breeze blew out her hair, Revealed what she was hiding there. And I, I followed, just a lad Whose eyes were full of her, by god, Whose ******* were pert and firm back then Whose thighs held secrets, hid from men. I saw that tiny tuft of hair That hid her womanhood in there, That plagued me since, for every night I’d think of it in dread delight. But still they led her, lane and field No place that she was not revealed, They took her to the ducking pond Where life or death would lie beyond. And when they laid the ducking stool With her aboard, across the pool, Her voice rang out, this buxom maid With words the villagers dismayed. ‘For all that you come judging me, Look to yourselves, your pedigree, What sons and daughters sprang at night From phantom fathers, bred in spite.’ ‘When husbands were out tending fields And wives would wait, temptation yields. What shadows stood by window ledge Gained entry to some marriage bed?’ The women quaked before her spell And screamed, then ducked the witch to hell And would have left her there to drown Had not the menfolk brought her round. In mercy then, they set her free And she had screamed, ‘A curse on thee! ‘Your cattle will roam free and late Your catch won’t hold the cattle gate.’ ‘Your crops will flatten in the fields When hail and sleet destroy their yields, And mud will fill your village hall, Your church collapse, your roofs will fall.’ She left there with a final shout The things she cursed, they came about, But I was left a lifetime dream, That naked witch, the Witch of Steen.

It is the bells I fear when at 6pm the menfolk trudge up from the glen and evening flicks its greedy tongue into the eyes of the dying day and the beasts that room within the evening gloom are no longer held at bay but free to roam. The darkness has no home not in my heart I want no part of it. The eyelids of the night blink and in them I sink into another death where the stinking breath of doom invades me. All pervasive persuading me to go Into what I do not know? Nor want to. At 5am the menfolk wake and that is when the lingering night spits into the face of the coming light and then I feel alright. But as the gloom retires it is time to light the parlour fires to rid myself of the chattering chill. The night will always frighten me the bells will always make me see the beasts.

Monsters
There is a land top-filled with woe, And poorish sorrows that go unseen, Where candle flames toss o’er the hearth. And maidens' gentle ******* are torn By their menfolk’s leave for noble wars. Threads of grass spangled o’er with dew Are trodden down by silken slippers, Bitwixt the dusk and coming morn, A princess weeps, her heart grief-stricken. And in the pale and rising dawn, A flame rolls over the orchard hills, And blossom falls in bloodied paths Of Wallach men marching Dragul trails. As the maidens brush their gentle hair, The window slits are lit aglow, And brave menfolk return at last! The bloodied wars have ended fast, And Szelyk troops were struck aghast, Hence no sorrow shall be rooted there. Landed true their dying blows, For thought of gentle women near, The phoenix men felt no wordly fear. And poorish sorrows go now to grave Where kisses fall on those not saved. There is a land now decked with cheer.
