"picnic" poems
An early evening gust broke the back of the day's blaze Still 90 degrees at eight in orange haze Sweat runs down my neck Through the gorge between my ******* The wind lifts my linen shirt runs its hands along my sides reviving memory of Forest Park of a blanket in the grass Where the pines trace so many faces Crackling popping kids stolen matches, running screaming victorious! Blowing tin cans up with fire crackers Bicycles, sparklers, fireworks at dusk That whole afternoon I spent hammering caps Noise really makes us kids really especially annoying Mom wants us out! Gone! All of us! No needs. No excuses! No cookies! No slices of bologna! “No more Kool Aid! Out now! Out!” That evening I tried to dismiss the itchy sweat of stupid-sister-Suzy-matching-sun-suits at Gino's family picnic When some kid (I don't know?) between the rigatoni and the sweet corn Some kid tosses a sparkler into box of fireworks I don't know? whether to cry or laugh I was pretty scared Rockets going off across the lawn and onto porch Craze of colors through the trees Some at eye-level horror! But the sight of Aunt Nedda diving under picnic table Stockings, garter belt upended Capsized beyond her caring of uplifted dress Some images just stay with you, ya know? July 4th always lands for me on a firework's ***

July 4th Memories that Last
Gliding deftly along the city street rolling quick and constantly onward to some unknown scene, some backward park in the nighttime smoke curling from these parted lips, moist and inviting calling me somewhere I've never seen. New day, new night new feelings, rage in delight fill me with your hilarious entropy, knock my quarks into the next century, will you please? Now you're smoking the pipe and all at once you are free between you and me, this smoke is thicker and sticks like glue, wispy and dreamy and the world spins and calls Toltec telephone company can't pay me for all those calls collected and rendered obsolete Sun god dead as that silly calendar meme Amaterasu, and Imma tell you these ladies in the picnic table buried alive for boxed lunch and god's brunch Jesus ******* Christ and a indelible roster of good guys, to which we all must strive to live and die behind, never moving forward chasing our tails like a sick dog under the jasmine runner between the decades-old tanbark imported from overseas dead trees dead canine and oh isn't it just divine? You see it, pretty lady. I can see it hiding behind your eyes the things you don't tell the others because you're afraid if they found out, you'd be crucified. Well honey I hate to inform, With KGB efficiency that these love-a-dumbs aint Methuselah, they'll be dead! long before your flood of tears tears me from the land ballistas me across the great expanse to some strange Ararat of the eastern seaboard, or maybe wash me deep along the 80 into the desert sands and tiles on a leaky cell phone screen desperately trying to dial home on low battery, realizing all this was one big deferred dream, baking in the sun and shriveling oh well, back to the grindstone-- all those lies plucked your nose, gotta cut it back to size, 'else your soul it'll outgrow Don't worry honey bee It hasn't happened to me, and We know with calcuable mathematical truth that it'll never happen to you.

A friend of mine walked up to me and asked me: "What is a good woman?" I replied "you would know if you were a good man" He said "Stop joking I really wanna know" "There is no definite answer, but when you meet one, it will show" There are many characteristics that make a good woman, but it would take days to speak them all Since my friend brought this to mind, I thought I would list a few for y'all A woman who is proud of what she brings and won't complain over petty things A woman who is well spoken and not opposed to listening because communication is key from the beginning A woman who is wise and able to realize the pit you are in doesn't matter because she will help your rise A woman who wouldn't try to control her man but also wouldn't be a doormat And when trouble comes up, her feet won't be flat (she's ready to go) A woman who never stops believing in the man that you are and the man you can become So much confidence in you, it almost makes her seem dumb A virtuous woman who prays for you more than she prays for herself Remembering God is number one above all else A woman who tries to pay for herself before you can offer Knowing the difference between selfless and selfish is something you should prefer A woman with the power of forgiveness But don't abuse it Because a good woman is not stupid She will lose it You will lose her and have no one to blame when your heart takes the hit If you hurt a good woman, in my eyes, you aren't worth the saliva I spit The ice cream no one would lick The one that gets thrown down in hope ants would leave a picnic To pick apart your existence Use your common sense Realize what's in front of you and cherish it Woman is the title a female receives at a certain age But it takes a good man to realize a good woman is on the next page I'm not saying a good woman needs to have this quote for quote I don't think any woman does, if so, let me know I haven't met any besides my family, but I don't go down that road I'm being patient, waiting for my good woman is giving me time to grow So I can give her the best Brandon Everett Davis, the world doesn't know To not be on their level, would be a sin Let's become better men for these good women

PICNIC ***
I could’ve woken you up in the morning and could’ve been the sun that rises even when we both live in a place where it never does. I could’ve taken you to museums, at least 2 of where I’ve been to. The first one, we’ll have to take the bus because I’d tell you that I’m too lazy to drive but for the second one, I will tell you that I’ll drive you there. My car would look at me as though it knows that there is another soul seating in the passenger seat – it was no longer some books, a box of pizza, or my dog. I could’ve taken photos of you in that place, post them everywhere but subtly so that they can see that there are at least 2 forms of art in that photo — the one you’re looking at and the one I’m looking at. I could’ve talked to you at night under the stars, in the same rooftop where I told you that I liked the cathartic experience of doing just what we could’ve done; the same rooftop where you talked about your life, at least some pieces of it. I could’ve brought you to where I used to study. We could’ve walked the halls that stared at me for being too alone and too lonely only so I could tell them, “Hey, here he is, finally.” and they could’ve smiled at me because they know how long the longing lasted. We could’ve taken a stroll in the shade of the trees or could’ve had a picnic there while watching the joggers and the sunset. I could’ve introduced you to my friends – they’ve been meaning to meet you. They too know how long I’ve been stuck on an island by myself. They know who I was when I was eleven and when I was sixteen and I bet, if you gave them a chance, you could’ve heard the crazy things we did. And maybe they could’ve liked you. They could’ve told me how lucky I was and probably would’ve warned me that if I hurt you, they’d stick with you instead of me. I could’ve introduced you to my family — my mom liked you even then. I could’ve introduced you to my little brother who I would consider as the biggest and most important judge of character because I believe that children can sense goodness in people and he could’ve seen that in you. I could’ve written you letters, could’ve left random little tokens I would've used for all the words I cannot muster to say. I could’ve played the piano for you even if I just know, at most, 3 songs; even though I don’t really know how to read notes at all. I could’ve introduced you to the artists I like and I could’ve known more of yours. I could’ve listened to them and I would have had to remember you every time. I could’ve held your hand, could’ve eaten brunch with you, could’ve read you a poem. I could’ve loved you — could have – if I was the given the chance. But, I was and I could’ve used it but I didn’t.

~ Ode to Spring ~ Cherry blossoms filled with bloom rhododendron’s sweet perfume warming winds feign summer’s breeze songbirds singing from the trees Open windows, déjà vu sunsets filled with graceful hues families gather on their strolls Mother Nature for the soul Baseball season at the park evenings lifted from the dark daylight savings' finally here patios for wine and beer Cleaning house and planting seeds rebirth fills the days and deeds picnic baskets, hummingbirds poets find their way in words Kaleidoscope of bedding plants shorts in favour over pants farmers markets, garage sales power-wash the decks and rails Hiking, tennis, gardening inhale the freshness of the spring! painters, sculptors shape their art gather here with grateful hearts

Gather here, with grateful hearts
Wake up Mi Amor enjoy the Day to Come Life isn't a sprint it's a marathon run Hold yourself together through the good and bad As we ride the roller coaster of happy and sad Emotion like weather here comes a storm Take shelter in me I'll keep you warm We can take a trip don't worry about money Lounge all day feed you when you're hungry A picnic for two with a bottle of wine Relax read a book as day unwinds Refills of affection overflows your cup In a daze as we gaze to deep.. Peaceful sleep I'd hate to disrupt Return to me my love It's time to wake up..

Wake Up
Fly with me to Paris and We will climb the Eiffel Tower We'll see the Louvre And walk along the Avenue des Champs Elysees We will walk alone together along the great Seine River And latch a lovers lock upon the bridge above the water We can picnic on the grass in the grandest park in Paris Then embrace within the shadows of Notre Dame Cathedral Where there We'll swear Our love forever sure We will seal it with a kiss And know We never missed The times and places that make A life worthwhile. -R. 8.26.17 -LA

-A Life Worthwhile (Fly With Me)
When his Gillette slices the Cake you give And your Ribbon shows what a Prune he was It's time to kick his Sorry *** and Live Then realise he is below your Class The School Council has met; and Verdict's sent To advise the Nerds which Athletes are bane But if you give an Artist a worth-time's spent He will give the Cherriest Mood insane Try to open your Doors, dear Fruitful One For once, know that Other Hearts do exist If you can sing where the Hill's Grass grow some Then you know which Plate is worthy to fix. Now in this Picnic my Noodles grow full From this Prune-Cake made and sliced from his Soul.

MANHOOD FOLLY
To the tweaker who just ate lunch On the side of a 55 mph highway I'm not staring because I'm judging I can judge without looking I'm staring because I want to know If my eyes can slow down your limbs Like the arms of a fan So I can see that you're still somebody's daughter I'm staring because I understand Never mind the gawking eyes of midday traffic Never mind the glares of the gas station clerks I understand You're just having lunch I understand The bugs, the tics, the needs You are not a stranger to me You are who my sister used to be You are what the father of my niece Is trying not to be anymore You are every shady character Who ever knocked on my door asking questions I do not know your name But I know you I know you were once somebody's daughter And I hope you still are I'm not here to pass judgment Definitely not here to help I know all to well there is nothing I can do I just want you to know I know And so does any body you're trying to hide it from And they'll be waiting up for you Whether you come home or not Your mom hasn't had a full nights sleep Since the last time she saw you I hope for her sake It was this morning And I know you won't believe this But grown woman and all Your dad just wants to bounce you on his knee But what I know most of all Is that your little brother Can't go two hours without crying He's got ulcers again And he misses you You probably see him the most But he hasn't seen you Since you took your first hit He misses your advice He misses your hazing And all he wants is a sober hug And I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear During your picnic But it's everything I wish I could've told my sister Even if she wouldn't have listened I'm not staring to judge I'm staring to care And I don't presume to know what addiction is But I do know how it feels I just watched you barely cross the street I can't imagine you making it Wherever you're going tonight So if you die I hope there's **** in heaven But if you by some miracle don't I hope rock bottom's not to far down And that one day you get clean And start to make amends So you can remember what it's like to dream And if that day ever does come Do me a favor Sit on your father's lap Sleep in your mother's bed And hug your little brother Because there's a girl he could use some help with No matter what you've done Or how much pain you've caused Through the twitching The nervous glances The weight loss You're still somebody's daughter I know you I understand you Enjoy your lunch

when i was a freshman one of my friends told me that there was a girl who was talking about me asking why i was pretending to be straight and that everyone could tell that i was gay my friends and i laughed it off like children and i quipped “i’m not pretending anything, just ask anyone and they’ll know” now, i think of the rainbow socks, the only thing i own with a rainbow on it, being shoved down to the bottom of my sock drawer as if it would pop out at any minute and proclaim it’s existence if it were any higher. now, i think of the rainbow highlight that i applies in the bathroom at midnight, pausing every now and again to make sure i was alone. Now, i think of the pride nail art that i scrubbed off my nails minutes after i painted it on. now, i think of the last word in a poem that i wrote and turned in, scared i was being too obvious with the word they. now, i think of the horrible creature sitting in my chest that simultaneously begs to never tell my secrets and to also scream them from the roof tops. i think of the sludge that lives in me and climbs up my throat, whispering safety into my ear while also ripping apart everything it touches. i think of the pain i feel whenever i say that i’m gay, because it makes things easier if the works sees me as a girl who loves other girls. before thinking of this poem i had sat back and wondered how many bottles it would take of the various prescription medicines that my parents kept in the kitchen cabinet to **** me. when i remembered the name they would put on the tombstone i stopped and walked away. i remember the time where i couldn’t walk away and i had reached in and grabbed a full bottle of ibuprofen and i took a single one, hoping that my screaming head could be sated by the feeling of a single pill crawling down my throat. i had a dream last night about someone called addison. they looked me in the eyes and before i even knew what they looked like their physical form flickered until they were a bright shining star in a vaguely human form. they sat next to me as we floated in a void on a picnic blanket and they put their arm around my shoulder which felt like a hug from someone i used to know but had forgotten i stared at their glasses that looked too much like mine as they flickered in and out of existence and they told me i was not where i was supposed to be. i didnt ask them where but they heard it anyways as if breaking into my thoughts. they answered that they could not tell me and when i thought why they said they didn’t want to spoil the fun of a brighter future for them and me. i woke up with the taste of lavender on my tongue and the desire to change my name.

The Red Ants At His Picnic Her pillow eyes gleamed at his advances, inching along slowly. His anteater likeness, rising, coming to an anthem, frolicking on her picnic, on her mound, hoarse and hungrily. Rendevous antics to form. Wave after wave, the red ants at his picnic, dancing, dancing like there's no tomorrow, seducing him in further. He, so antsy, anticipating. In his genre, happily along, on her trail, like a hunter, taking her welcoming little red colony, to kingdom come. To ******* come, where her castle and moats succumb, relenting, saluting to his anthem. Where soon white clouds a bursting, blue skies emerging. The sublimity and antidote holding on, holding on to her picnic. And the rocket's did red glare, the bombs bursting in air- together, to gather. And there they were ... chaos, abuzz, lyrical then calm. Sustenance drawn on their faces. A slight breeze runs through the grass the red ants at bay. Logan Robertson 4/17/2018

The Red Ants At His Picnic
Mr. handsome stranger He’s coming after Desperate like a last request Frantic delusional lunatic Unhinged fragile losing what’s left Self serving sadomasochistic Easy on the eyes but doesn’t quite fit in Playing it cool in social situations His intelligent banter he claims as his own With somewhat smart comebacks he practiced at home Trying so hard that the sweat beads down Onto his stressed wrinkled furrowed brow the stories he skillfully misdirected   Carefully darting  unwanted questions Mr. Indiscreet can’t blow his cover Disarm the girl of his unrealistic dreams How quite average and normal he can be Mr. Stalker walks over to the Girl works up the courage and talks to her Strikes up a witty conversation With his movie star smile and education Using the words that he pre rehearsed Says all the right things and compliments her Looking past his rather peculiar behavior And when politely asked gives up her number He rings her up the very next day With a romantic scenic picnic date Under the shade of a lush green tree Upon a blanket with wine and cheese Playing the part of the handsome boyfriend Gains her full trust and faith in him Joking in a effort to make her laugh To put her at ease and follow his plan Jealous of her ex boyfriends Knowing their names and full address And when he drops her off at home Tracks and follows her every move Knows all her weekly kept routines Threatens and blackmails all her friends Studies everyday mundane errands Unaware of his decent into madness

Not quite sure, am I, Neither certain nor at ease. I find no resolution In this step in front of me. I have no metric measures To plumb this stormy ocean, And if I tried to name the weather, It would match my emotion. Life is not a picnic, No matter what some may say It picks you up and throws you Bound to dent, nick, and fray.

But all of it is hot And there are acorns everywhere Scattered on the ground Below our butts as we try to sit And have a little picnic On a brightly checkered blanket Between two tall trees That tower above us And grant us shade While pelting acorns down Into our cheese and crackers And fancy rosé wine Whatever that means I thought wine was wine But I guess they have personalities Like people Like couples Some things pair well together Like my crisp pineapple and cheap fuckin' pizza Or your stinky blue cheese and weird cookie-like ******* Like us And the cheese sits on a green marble slab Elegant as **** Because that's just who you are But that marble slab sits on top of a pizza box Simple as **** Because that's just who I am And we pair well On this hot *** summer day While we drink rosé And "I love you" is all we say Because sometimes we don't have to say anything We're okay without words In the middle of a park On a hot *** summer day

Cloudy picnic
The beach lies under the golden sun surf and sand and food and fun getting burnt and feeling fine why not share some sparkling wine a picnic prepared the night before and missing the glass as you pour the day has past its time to go but we do it again if the wind don't blow

The Beach
Two boys and girls unclothed each other simply at a picnic flush with wine alongside sun-flecked trees. The girls, easy as the forest round, burned, delicious, as the boys eager and nervous in unequal measure partly gave up concealing their joys at forgetting or remembering in flickers their bare bodies. It went on over nettles and half-hours and clambered trees and photos taken almost formally (on film, of course). And boyish lust, at first sinuous, a darting tongue, began to soften against, for instance, the sheer, unthinkable texture of the two girls carved now backward over the bough of a storm-felled elm. And there in the embers of evening they learned to thrill originally at the vast, gorgeous and astonishing irrelevance of what might happen next.

(i want love in these woods) while walking in the quiet woods         humidity causing   blonde hair to stick             to my neck on wooden path my footsteps move and on highest railing a squirrel beckons       i smile /a real smile/ she stops        as if listening for my footsteps        then scampers forward        a few more feet        stops...tilts her head        eyes gleaming        listening for me again i think she is the squirrel queen bidding me to follow her to my lover waiting in the woods i want love in these quiet woods in the quiet night under the moon *oh what a night that would be with you* the smell of the leaves the sound of the crickets eyes twinkling soft blankets this night    you should whisk me away    to a place in the woods but, alas the squirrel queen scampered into the woods and i'm sitting at a picnic table in filtering sunlight sticky transfixed heart pounding dreaming of love in the woods with you.

Who can guess the Masquerade of this Time Such Event is a Turtle; Withdrawn to a Box None is ever wasted; None is left behind None is allowed to lick and tether a Fox It is the Creature; Banned for a Reason The Furry Red was no benefit to avail You cannot bargain; Not even for a Season Better if the Document is stamped by a Snail At least it was Honest; And hardly Fraud Shall my Letter then be sent with such Mail Else cheat your Lover whilst he is Abroad? Or perhaps better resolve this Bitter Alimony. Neither you or I in this Picnic we enjoy The Duckling Issue whose Exit we deploy.

UNCERTAINTY
Replaying a riff four times perfectly One missed fret and the entire day ends disastrously Replaying moments of kindness and warmth To overcome the feverish idea that I hold no heart Every fourth step, threes end in ****** Maimed images constantly creep This subconscious ludovico technique These thoughts come and go in no particular order A seat at the table and a serviette on my lap What if I leapt out my chair and suddenly attacked? What if I aimed the knife towards my hand? I constantly question if that’s who I am I will have a picnic with her today, all joy and cheer When these intrusive thoughts will inexplicably get near And terrorize my attitude as well as my image Disassociating with a perplexed and horrified visage I’m so incredibly tired of existing A cruel and ironic fate I’ve missed out on so many opportunities All because of this miserable headspace

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
You've always been in my heart Where you've stayed since the beginning You're like a little sister to me Like the twinkling stars are to the beautiful sky Like the driftwood is to tiptoe across Like the romantic couples are to sandy beach strolls Like the glowing campfires are to cooling nights Like the soft music is from crashing waves Like the white seashells are to listening ears Like the gigantic ships are to the rolling sea Like the wiggling fish are to the squawking seagulls Like hungry people are to their picnic lunches Like the playful families are to the never-ending coast Like all eyes are to the breath-taking view Like the smiling faces are to the digital cameras Like the crying children are to their tearful goodbyes You're like a little sister to me We've always been, one way or another, the best of friends, And we'll forever be, until the end   Copyright 2014; Sabrina Denise Healey,   ~Angelmom~

My Bestie~
Am I attractive, hot, or **** Or just a forlorn idiot flexing In order to join the *** scene? I put a towel down And set up a picnic My head spins round From the dirt they kick On my meal To make me feel Scared and alone With nowhere to roam So I stay here laying in the sun On the other side of a Gatling gun I searched for a savior Who's willing to say words To me For free My search was fruitless My eyes turned youthless I grazed in the grass As time quickly passed After I finished my food And was left there to brood I became a floating satellite That was accustomed to night Because of my frights That reflected all light Now I see ants trying to feed on my crumbs They must think I'm pretty desperately dumb To not know they enforced my segregation When I had naively sought validation I waited there silently salivating They responded by not validating It's for that bitter reason During my new season I reflect my light on the approaching ants So I may thwart their encroaching dance My humble heart yearns As I watch bugs burn They wouldn't partake in my feast So I morphed into a brutish beast Now they're here to eat what's left If they can survive my dragon's breath They put out the fire in my heart But ignited my mind My useless humanity parts As I focus on time A time that keeps passing While signs keep flashing As burning bugs dying Or sad satellites flying My life was no peaceful picnic After they noticed my sickness And left me alone For that is my home When I don't need validation anymore I search for love Unfortunately I know what's in store A picnic in the mud

Chlamydia, you grumpy cow! You're twice as grumpy as Sarah the sow. Half as happy as Jennifer hen, But ten times better than all the men ! Chlamydia, Chlamydia, we never will get rid of yer. A fixture in the draughty barn, giving us milk and a gossipy yarn. Have some grass and Chrstmas cake, have a snooze and then awake, to a surprise picnic on your floor, then you can be a grump once more.

Chlamydia The Cow
Woke on a white blanket today. Looking at the blue sky above me. Turning I see; A strange looking farmhouse at the bottom of a hill, A fence of split logs, Mountains were rising up, like giants through a misty morning. Two glasses of red grapes sitting on the blanket, No one else around... Plates made of paper filled with cherry pie, No one else around... Suddenly, from behind I hear! A quiet voice was singing words I could not understand. I turn to look, No one else is there... Copyright © Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.
