Q Dec 2012
There once was a kingdom
that was ruled by a king.
He'd soon have a son--
that's what he was wishing.

But a daughter he had,
and still he rejoiced
so the king threw a ball
and their happiness was voiced.

The young princess was named--
her name was Aurora.
She was showed with gifts;
The first came from Flora.

She blessed her with beauty
then next came dear Faun
and she blessed her with song.
Then she came to curse her.

Malificent came
and cursed her with death!
Then just as she came,
Malificent left.

Merryweather was smart
and she used the last gift
and changed death to sleep
only awakened by kiss.

She was soon sixteen --
the day of her 'death'.
The death that would turn
into and endless rest.

Aurora became
a sweet Sleeping Beauty
Because Merryweather's gift
had done it's duty.

She would only awake
by the kiss of one prince.
The prince was named Philip
and their young love was bliss.

But death struck him down
by Malificent's hand.
Now Aurora was dead,
just as she'd planned.
Come and look at my family
it’s big and rambunctious
they all mean a lot to me
theres lots of different branches
there’s a writer, called M. Rase
and David too
they’ve taught me things I never knew
but of course they all do
Im related to royalty
a king and a queen
Named Jose and Whispwill respectively
I wonder if they’ve met each other yet?
Then there’s determined Yuu
who shredded my heart with Blackberry Tea
some of them have hurt me, don’t worry though
I’m sure their OC's will be fine after all they’ve been through
R. Merryweather writes lots of things
there’s even a new series
next is Vel, with her apocalyptic mysteries
Ana and Kittie are new to the family
give them a big welcome when you see them
Rukan’s drawing a series, seki and keisuke are my OTP
Bob likes animals, she’s a skilled gal
I really miss Yuumei, Wave, and Jun Lee
but they’ll return someday, you’ll see
Kura updated recently, Nick brought me to tears
MAT and Ariel Ries crossed different boundaries
but everything will be alright
NaniRoxy's not around, she’s making some adjustments
so you’ll just have to leave a message
Viryse is in the hoodie brigade
with Yuu, Jose, and Kao too
GlanceReviver and KJ Tower
write exciting love stories
SnailLords is gone, but not really
he moved his web series such a tease
Captain Juuter and Kinkan Yoona
slice up life in different ways
this is badly written and doesn’t make sense
and I know its long but it needed to be said
and someday you can meet the rest of them
the rest of my big family
These are the users of artists on Tapastic, give them a looksie if you've got time

What if Neil tripped down those famed steps
One small st-
And collapsed in a heap of vacuum-resistant debris
Cracked glass and aspiration
Shame-sweat beading on his brow
And the president’s hands hit his horseshoe forehead and he frowned like the big man he was
And the mayor pounded his fist against the mahogany recently polished by the secretary
And the wrists of socialite women hit their foreheads and they gasped and crumpled on to couches white with scrubbings
And the children thought he was ducking-and-covering, just like Ms. Merryweather said
And the Haight-Ashbury hoodlums didn’t notice because the needle was already sunk in like incisors
And the traitors giggled ****-you's in their colonies festering like mold?

A peg of person
Hanging on my word
Show'd itself to me
Wooden, carved roughly
Surfaced on linen, varnish
Shallowed man.

He felt nothing to me, at me
He told me riddle body *****
I ignored, bored hated words of worry
But felt them myself, little
Anti-anti-anticipations
And trembling lumps of merryweather met us

But we came to a pond, and drank the green green wealth
We spun a little, splashed like ripples do
Onto a blank canvas of a conversation
Muddy murky words came out
'*** *** ***' little bee, buzz for pollen, buzz for me
I couldn't. I'm not.

I'm not another, you're different, distinto
I'm feeling nothing, angsty man,
Through rides and fairgrounds together
I found a lost child, and he set me
I told you who I am and I found me.

Roughly cut, varnished wooden man
Burned in envy, dusted away
I felt nothing, watched his anguish
And figured, hammered, rutted out
A sense of self-belonging,
I guess we don't belong, I guess we make our own self-pity,
But at least we know.

I said goodbye, he did not, I left the day before yesterday
I wrote a confusing poem to figure it out
And people read it
Quietly I confined myself to words and Bibles written for me
For a bitter version of myself
I burned away, burned away,
Burned my, burned my burned away.
I've figured a lot of stuff out lately. I have a complicated life. Poetry is one of my many ways of dealing with my mind.

Their verdant green coats gleamed with light after every splash
Like the melted and lush;                   southern snowfields.
They rushed into the darkness of the forest, the blurry blinding
Into their burrows they hid, for they were never to be revealed.

They croaked and croaked, the vibrations swarmed my ears
Oh how, oh how, may I cure their incessant wanderlust?
Ultimately one came croaking by;— bewildered I was
This wasn't just croaking, at least to me, they were singing softly

Marveled was I, their pupils gleamed with a sense of urgency
Up they looked, into pupils of my own;  cornered and afraid
Doubts clouded my mind, were we really all that wise?

A sudden downpour began—
Nevermore will I receive such a bold invitation;
My eyelids swung open tremendously
The sun stared into me, likewise I stared back

My eyes shuttered closed once more
The Earth's petrichor trickled across my nose once more.
The croaking thundered my chest once more
I understood now, once more

This world's bureaucracy.

Ms. Mabelline Merryweather  might not follow all rules and regulations at Social Services to a T, but she does get the job done efficiently. She knows well paper pile-ups, bureaucratic mumbo jumbo is second language to her. No unruly impatient Podunk piece of indigent indecency can rile the likes of Ms. Mabelline. She's cool as a cucumber on a chilled salad bar. Speaking of which, it is just now two minutes away from Ms. Mabelline's cherished lunch entourage with fellow ladies of the office. So, if you'd like to get your claim copied and filed quickly, you'll give Ms. Mabelline her due respect, else your *** might be chilling back in the waiting room, till she's finished laughing over your pathetic life from a table at TGIF's this noon hour. You know, claim uncertainties and misfilings have been known to jam up processing for weeks, don't ya know?
Don't buck the system or Ms. Mabelline.
