Turning 22
My childhood was alluring days, I miss those days in many ways. I was so adorable on those days And delightful like sun rays, When I was a child, My heart was painted with full of colours And filled with beautiful imagination. The whole world was like a pearl to me. It was the most happiest days of past. But I miss those days in many ways. I played with my childhood friends and brothers. I played with different types of toys and flowers. They are like my lovers. My life filled with happiness and joy. Those days was heaven for me. First day my mother left her hand, She went away with a crying face It broke my heart in many ways. It was the first step to my kinder garten. It was a new atmosphere for me. I cried and played with ***** mud And mud caked to my new shoes. I miss all the fun and beauty of my eyes. In my childhood i wished for many things. Now I wish ,I want my funniest childhood days. I realise they were the big things to me. All are going through many stages in life. The day I found my little tricycle in the backyard. My mind run backward fastly. Like a super car and all my memories shuffled, Until I reach the memories of evergreen childhood. Childhood is the best or world to all. Everyone want to be a child atleast one day. I want back my lamp, To remove the darkness of world. Music is inside in everyone's heart, But It won't show out in some case. Like childhood memories are inside us, But still it keep fade in our heart. Never stop playing, screeming, laughing, It will carry your childhood with you. We never and ever become older, We all have an endless breathing and stages. It can't take back and go back. Look the world with child eye. It seems more beautiful than anything. Reminiscence of childhood were the dreams That stayed with you after you woke. Childhood is being carefully held like a glass. My anguish wishes to be a youngster, I want my souvenir back and Blow it Up into a bubble and live inside it forever. ?

Childhood days
My childhood was alluring days, I miss those days in many ways.

On the outer Barcoo where the churches are few, And men of religion are scanty, On a road never cross'd 'cept by folk that are lost, One Michael Magee had a shanty. Now this Mike was the dad of a ten year old lad, Plump, healthy, and stoutly conditioned; He was strong as the best, but poor Mike had no rest For the youngster had never been christened. And his wife used to cry, 'If the darlin' should die Saint Peter would not recognise him.' But by luck he survived till a preacher arrived, Who agreed straightaway to baptise him. Now the artful young rogue, while they held their collogue, With his ear to the keyhole was listenin', And he muttered in fright, while his features turned white, 'What the divil and all is this christenin'?' He was none of your dolts, he had seen them brand colts, And it seemed to his small understanding, If the man in the frock made him one of the flock, It must mean something very like branding. So away with a rush he set off for the bush, While the tears in his eyelids they glistened — ''Tis outrageous,' says he, 'to brand youngsters like me, I'll be dashed if I'll stop to be christened!' Like a young native dog he ran into a log, And his father with language uncivil, Never heeding the 'praste' cried aloud in his haste, 'Come out and be christened, you divil!' But he lay there as snug as a bug in a rug, And his parents in vain might reprove him, Till his reverence spoke (he was fond of a joke) 'I've a notion,' says he, 'that'll move him.' 'Poke a stick up the log, give the spalpeen a prog; Poke him aisy — don't hurt him or maim him, 'Tis not long that he'll stand, I've the water at hand, As he rushes out this end I'll name him. 'Here he comes, and for shame! ye've forgotten the name — Is it Patsy or Michael or Dinnis?' Here the youngster ran out, and the priest gave a shout — 'Take your chance, anyhow, wid 'Maginnis'!' As the howling young cub ran away to the scrub Where he knew that pursuit would be risky, The priest, as he fled, flung a flask at his head That was labelled 'MAGINNIS'S WHISKY'! And Maginnis Magee has been made a J.P., And the one thing he hates more than sin is To be asked by the folk, who have heard of the joke, How he came to be christened 'Maginnis'!

Working Title Words II
What gave you your direction? What made you want to write? What ever was the reason that saw you editing all night? Perhaps you loved Lord Byron or for you was Poe the man or maybe Keats or Dr. Seuss, with his green eggs and ham. What had you writing poetry? Who did you want to be? The answer to that question is an easy one for me. You'll probably howl when you hear of my choice. He's hardly a Jane Austin or Helen Steiner Rice. And it wasn't Charlotte Bronte who gave to me the thrill. But a little fat comedien with the name of Benny Hill. As a youngster I remember his rather raunchy rhymes that some would look at with contempt but they did that in those times. I just remember that he creased me up and I would laugh and laugh all day. I would memorise and tell to friends when we all went out to play. As the years went on and I read the greats everything grew in my mind. I read and read my poetry anything that I could find. But of all the brilliant scholars that have written and do still. None will grace my heart and make me feel like that poet Benny Hill.

Benny Hill "Poet"
Ah, Pinocchio--povero burattino°-- Always in a scrape; always in a jam. The irresponsible, wooden-headed numbskull Couldn't help but fall for every scam.   A walking, talking stringless marionette, Pinocchio really would have had it made In a modest home with babbo°° Gepetto. But, instead, the foolish youngster strayed.   Ignoring the advice of the talking cricket, Pinocchio EVEN smashed it with a hammer. That right there should have been a reason To throw the little rascal in the slammer.   The Fox and the Cat had no trouble Dissuading the puppet from going to school, Thus involving him in a series of adventures Which often made him look like a fool.   The Fairy tried to be a good influence, But Pinocchio's lies caused his nose to grow. Constantly ignoring responsibilities, The misguided boy, suffered constant woe.   (Swindled of his money, hanged on a tree, And saved just in the nick of time From being eaten, Pinocchio had Too many adventures to fit into this rhyme.)   Fleeing with his lazy school chum Lucignolo To the Paese dei balocchi,°°° there Pinocc Turned into a donkey. Of all his follies, This one had to be a masterstroke.   Once again a puppet, Pinocchio was swallowed By a giant Pesce-cane,°°°° and then guess what! The foolish boy was finally reunited With babbo Gepetto in the fish's huge gut.   NOT until Pinocchio thought about others And proved he was an honest and caring boy Did his fortune start to change for the better, And the stringless puppet became the real McCoy.   Does Pinocchio by any chance remind you Of any politicians out there at all Who fail to listen to expert advice And thumb their noses at common protocol?   And speaking of noses, we can also see Politicians' noses grow as they tell lies. Lying to themselves and to others as well And ignoring our best interests and flouting compromise.   Such politicians--unlike Pinocchio-- Have strings to pull when performing for the masses. The more they avoid solving REAL issues, The more they end up looking like *****   They also love--these clever burattini-- To sell a bill of goods and promise many things. But someone out there--or some corporation-- Is slyly and cleverly pulling their strings.   Do you ever wonder if these same politicians Ever think about or care how you feel? Will they eventually--as did Pinocchio-- Prove they have what it takes to be real?     °(burattino/i) - poor little puppet °°(babbo) - dad(dy) °°°(Paese dei balocchi) - Playland °°°°(Pesce-cane) - shark - by Bob B

Must you be here in such an interesting illusion? Why must you sit in such... vogue? Here though, you exist in fashionable cyst. Bygone futures of blighted sutures Youngster-stale and eight-hundred pale Destitute pasts of layer passes present Horses gather at the gates of heaven Spitting at me And in this way, I've given myself nightmarish feelings. Yellow blocks provides battery-colored translucence a doubt of mortals Tungsten belated harmony

Capsule Tarnish, Antiques And Lady
conceited and overconfident of knowledge, but, poorly informed and immature embodying the definition, I lie in bed, quiet, thinking, face down, shirtless, in a pair of cheap purple ******* breathing in a smell--cotton sheets, sweat, and coconut I am not nothing, not miserable, but not happy I am not frightened or bewildered by anything I am an elder amongst the young I'm a youngster still, to everyone. all trash talk, not new news. I just sort of quietly revel in the experiences unravelling above me in a floating memory adding up my mistakes, until all pressed into me + that doing the right thing hurts, sometimes, + people are going to do things that you can't and still that's okay, but don't get discouraged if you work hard and get nothing out, that just means something, that if you like it, fight for it I don't know. I also learned this year not to trust the bad liars, that sometimes people are bland, but even still, it doesn't mean death, and it's really going fine. I learned this is as smart as I'm going to get, so maybe I should try a little harder with it. turning on my back, I flick an imaginary cigarette, I put on a little blush + a long-sleeved black shirt then I did what I was supposed to, maybe for me.

The thing is Boy, Yes, YES! I did need a shower this morning, and ****** lovely it was. Aye cracking........ Let me tell you three things I got just right with my shower this morning. First of it was HOT. Not warm, definitely not lukers, as you said when you where a lad, but ****** lovely and hot. Like the shower after a shift in The Pit. Now, notice the capitals there, on The Pit. Not to make it a loud word, I am simply showing due respect to The Pit. I spent enough years down that colliery to show it that due respect. The Pit indeed. Secondly, there was enough water. In my shower, not the mine now, pay attention! It can be hard for folk to hang on to my words, I digress so much, hanging on to my words is like trying to grab a slimy mackerel on a sunny day at Porthcawl Pier. Now that is a ditry pier, due to littering. And fishing. Speaking as a fisherman, with you will notice, a  SMALL f, as I do not profess a great degree of skill in that area, but speaking as a fisherman, I will admit that there is an occasional tendency towards the dropping of litter. On the pier, that is. Quite likely elsewhere as well, but then I only fish the pier, see. Anyway, yes, water. Enough of it. Not a ****** half-hearted trickle, an apologetic drip, but a deluge! Fair flooded me out, it did. ****** marvellous. Smashing. Now, there was a third good thing..... Ahh. THAT was it.. Someone to scrub my back. Very important indeed. You see, in The Pit, or at least, in the colliery shower, after a shift, we had good showers. Hot, they were. Hot and wet, and we would stand there, warming ourselves under the water. By Christ, my arms were sore after a day on my side with a pick. And the soap was hard too, like a ruddy brick. But the water helped see, took the pain away, it did. Aye, and all the Boys, we would wash each others backs. That was the way then. In the showers. Aye. I new my mate's backs better than my missus' Thirty years scrubbing them. "Whiter than white" I would say. When they asked me. "How is my back Bryn?" "Whiter than white". Aye Good days. Now this shower. A ****** good one too, It was today. The Girl who comes in got it just right. Halfway between five and five and a quarter. Bang on. And she washed my back. Not as hard as the boys would have done, but good enough for a youngster. Not bad at all. All in all, a good shower. And that means a good day. I can wheel my chair to look out the front later. You'll pardon me for going now, but I have to go to the bathroom see. A big ****** task for me now. Still, no-one in till teatime, and I can manage, if I take it slow. And thursday I get another shower. And I will tell you about the days in The Pit again.

You were one of the first to teach me about value. You helped me gain independence, little by little. I shared my desires with you and you helped me to fulfill them. Sometimes I needed just that little bit more and there you were, Ready to pitch in and help out. I remember a smile breaking onto my face with the very glimpse of you, Your shining face gleaming at me from afar. Sometimes those you thought were your friends would just toss you away, But not me, not ever. I cherish you for everything you are worth and then some. You have always been unique, different than all the rest I would come across. You have your own look. Yes, you may look similar to others in one way, But with a quick flip you are shining again like only you can. Time may tarnish your gleam, but no matter how rugged you get you will always be of worth. Special childhood moments come back to me now. Holding you in my sweaty little palm, I would fill with excitement Knowing you were about to deliver to me the sweetness of my dreams. All I needed was you and maybe a few more of your friends. And off we’d go to spend a Saturday afternoon in delightful company. Seniors would push you away, unwanted, undervalued. They would take one quick glance to see if they recognized you. Then they would pass you on to a youngster, As if they had far too much of you to care for more. But not me, I would swoop you up and run off, delighted. Now you are to be no more. No replacements. You will be allowed to discolour and erode with age as so many of your ancestors have done. But to me, you will always be the highly valued shining copper penny Who taught me to count, to value goals and how to use money to attain some of them. And most importantly, how to take the first steps towards my independence.

Oldest thing I ever did see, Skin a mountain range of Crumpled/crinkled crepe paper Peaking in altitudinous pouches Under his eyes, dragging with Their weight dewlapp jowls Down to a waddling, Flabby neck, eyes camouflaged Under light, fuzzy swatches of cotton, Mouth slack and vacant, dribbling. Hobbling with a stoop, knees bowed, Back arched at an angle, a Tilted arrow. He tottered over to me, Inches, feet, miles, years too young, Smiled brightly to reveal an empty, Gummy mouth rimmed with Birthday cake, pallid arms Outstretched, head splotched with A thin, wispy cloud of hair, Half-full and forgotten baby’s bottle On the carpet behind him. How quickly they do grow.

Elderly Youngster
My dog died a couple of weeks ago, I guess. She's sitting in a small box in my mom's room now with a small statue of a mischievous fox and a photo of her golden snout on top. I didn't go to see her the last several times I was in town which means I didn't see her at all for months before she died. Maybe that's why I haven't cried until now; I don't deserve the consolation of sorrow. I call her my dog because I was the youngster that necessitated a dog in 2000, nothing more. But Mali was my dog. I had to google map it to remember where in Africa, but Mali was a good name: A trite sound with an unusual source. In the end it was too appropriate, An arid name for a sandy dog that died too weak to get water and too alone to have it brought to her. For days. When we brought her home all drugged and tiny, with Dumbo ears and lion paws, I wouldn't leave her side for days, eating and sleeping next to her on the floor, until I started feeling down. My mom told me it was like postpartum. How stark a contrast between her coming and her going! She still looked like a puppy to me the last time I saw her, though she moved more slowly. Whenever I see home again, months from now, We'll take her ashes to the creek and avail them of the wind and the water she loved. My dog and my Park, both long neglected, relegated to that past that you can cry for but never reinvest in.

Mali
Hershey, black satin, as long as my torso Diamond green comforting eyes Velveteen curious nose Tongue like a pumice stone Her elegant but waddling stride Powerful, confident and territorial Sitting like a queen on her throne Cat of mine, mother to be Tuxedo, black and white, bow tie and all White sock covered feet like satin gloves Long white elderly whiskers He reminds me of Fred Astaire Quick calculated light on his feet Shy yet debonair Patient, watchful and full of pride Father to be Oreo, friend and foe White as snow, black face and tail Large circular patches of black Fearless fence and roof climber Youngster full of mischievousness Paws in the air, tummy exposed to the sun Purring so loud she vibrates Kitty of mine

I want to adopt an old-timer, A jolly, kind old fellow, His socks would never match, And his sweater would be yellow. He would tell me stories, About the good ol’ days. We’d inch around town, In his 59 Chevrolet. We would go fly-fishing, And he’d wear flannel tops. He would call me youngster And I would call him Pops.

Old-timer Adoption
Fighter jets in formation Above Ekeberg Hill Remind me of years Spent on airbases During my time in the Royal Norwegian Air Force. I was stationed at NATO's Northernmost base during 9/11. Minutes after plane #2, I was upgraded to NATO Top Secret Clearance. Given live ammo for my P80. Witnessing the colonel's Marlboro Light shake in his Usually steady hand as I Approached; MSO briefcase Handcuffed to my wrist. There were papers inside I was expected to Die for. I was 22. Not even the police carry Firearms in this country. Not even the police are expected To give up ghost over information. For a nation of such ****** History, we maintain a mellow Attitude. We choose peace over "piece". Gun-sense over violent nonsense. Naïve? Maybe. There are nearly no shootings here. We've had one lethal act of Terrorism since WWII. We can live with that. Literally.

Glock-Less Youngster
Him: She looked different, I hadn’t seen her face this bright in a really long time. In that moment she was the moon, the star, a luminous soul that stood before my eyes. She was like confetti, leaving sparkles where she stepped. It wasn’t like the happiness she plastered on her face or the smile that made dimples appear on the ends of her lips. This was different. I could feel the energy. 
Her cheeks swallowed her eyes whole and those hidden teeth behind her lips were exposed. It was just everything about her, how her voice was powerful and high-pitched just like a youngster. The way her pupils dilated and showed all her excitement. The way her soul radiated excitement and joy. It was everything about her, the way she moved, the way she spoke, the way she laughed. Happiness made her feel like she could do anything. Happiness was more than just beautiful on her. It was luminous and powerful. Her: This happiness felt ineffable. It was more than just a star lighting up in the dark, it was more than the darkness fading away. It wasn’t the happiness that is supposed to be picture perfect or the commercially perfect of having pearly white teeth. It was the one that my soul roar and bursting away from the confinement. It was the happiness that made adrenaline rush through my veins and neurons spark every cell of mine. It was the happiness that made me not care about what others thought, whether I was too much or over-excited. I was happy, I was more than happy after a very long time. It didn’t matter to me. I felt fierce. I felt like a child. I felt everything beautiful and powerful. I didn’t want to lose it to others words or to anything in this world. I was going to protect it, guard it and hold on to it. I was going to shine and radiate.

Prose: Happiness
Him: She looked different, I hadn’t seen her face this bright in a really long time. In that moment she was the moon, the star, a luminous soul that stood before my eyes. She was like confetti, leaving sparkles where she stepped. It wasn’t like the happiness she plastered on her face or the smile that made dimples appear on the ends of her lips. This was different. I could feel the energy. 
Her cheeks swallowed her eyes whole and those hidden teeth behind her lips were exposed. It was just everything about her, how her voice was powerful and high-pitched just like a youngster. The way her pupils dilated and showed all her excitement. The way her soul radiated excitement and joy. It was everything about her, the way she moved, the way she spoke, the way she laughed. Happiness made her feel like she could do anything. Happiness was more than just beautiful on her. It was luminous and powerful. Her: This happiness felt ineffable.

old man.
Kiley in italics Just Kyle in regular text Spencer and Kyle in bold And so it begins... At poets I laugh Silly boys with their rhyming here I sit smiling gracefully moving She smiles at my poem I smile at hers. She burns all my books I cry all the time, never over She is my new fav I cry when books burn, Angrily **** those who burn Even my new faves She giggles all day *try to **** but always fail* She will live forever None live forever Though the war will never end. We're back in the game You silly little youngster and second class guys I will always win Powerful, she is yet she has less "class" than we. She cannot beat us two plus three is five Indeed, but two men do not equal that of one woman In their clutter'd brains Women make odd equations that just make no sense men cannot add things men will never understand the ways women speak When girls start to speak All we hear is rabble ra- bble rabble rabble Open up your ears You have lost this game today *I'm done and win, ***** Kiley exits

An Epic Battle
Fantasy dream; caught in the between of reality caught in these nets of generation’s imagination. Desiring self *** appeal,—only the ones who’ve got the guns for creation. Violence runs the streets; a marathon of the fatherless kids brought into the world. Tell them not to be bent out of shape if you dare, but any blow of the wind causes them to fold. Tender kisses of mama; spoiled a child: Rotten as blackened teeth holes of the sweetest treats, a long while since a tame domesticated the wild. This child! Has only witnessed domestic violence all of their life. Stepped on stepfather; beating the daylights out of them every night. Seeking approval; where the approved are only the kids who break the rules. “There goes the youth,“ they’d often say. Unknowingly the same band of troubled young mother’s go on their knees each night to pray. But you’ll just bat an eye away from them; ignore a present problem, still looking to a future’s gain. Or take advantage of a youngster, then claim their misconduct being only by an upbringing as to blame. __Where are the men?__ _To show a son how to love and respect,_ _a daughter a hand of gentle protection,_ _Teaching lessons of wisdom never to forget,_ _not of their words becoming a weapon._ _To not settle for less when there’s always a best,_ _don’t let the shortest sad times become a deep long depression._ In the end what will our future be; if we’re not being the future we’ll leave for our young to follow, Don’t glance at it with wallow, build yourself strong,—build that strong tomorrow.

A Mother's Sorrow (Pieta) The sweet reggae music slapped inside the head Echoes throughout the night A gang of youngsters argument escalated vowing to killed all polices The marijuana smoke rises to sky in a timely manner to the The new dance choreography movements which cause a stampede As the Queen of the dance hall movements reign like fire Suddenly, they blades came out of nowhere Aiming at the homosexuals on the dance floor Piercing their hand upwards the homos desperately defense themselves Frantic cried in the night; this is not right. A youngster grabs his side as he slowly fall to ground The heartless crowd echoes the lyric Man down man! **** down! The party music continue louder than every Intoxicated females held on to their dates (Mother of Sorrows) mother of sorrows Unlike the modern Pieta a mother cradles her only son. His body slumped to the ground

A Mother's Sorrow
Isolation the main cause of a person’s dread The monster abandoned like a child in a dumpster The monster or beast with those seven heads Created bigger than 7 feet but still a youngster Soon enough it just became a killer It used the night time as its cover It came out at night like thriller The only thing it wanted was a lover Love of course, being its buried treasure If he couldn’t have a wife then no one could Killing my beautiful wife gave it pleasure While spying with a family it worked with wood The hideous creature with a warm heart Maybe me creating it was a mistake from the start

“Chance - or Rather The Evil Influence”
Take it from me youngster, figuratively I literally have no possessions But surely learn from your mistakes More of less of those encounters More experiences without the hate Alive and happy thankful just to be So youngster now take it from me, My experiences stand ahead you... Live life for the truth of you, There is serenity in being happy Real joy is honest a being Who exudes the love of Life, a light That is the truth of You know Who Soul that is a River Doubtless we began, now to see The construct of brotherly peace, A lovely existence without this drowning pearl The suffocation of our miracle world Take it from me, youngster You only rob yourself of illumination I've been stealing from my own me? If nothing else no one will dispair When no one cares to wake Time will cease, when no one watches Pay close attention to the joy, The life you have pretended decoy Live like you love to live your life, Truly utterly free Breathe each minute passing With thankful joyful and sincerely Returning the gift of chi Most positively the peace we send out Just be mindful youngsters, We make our own hells mouth Chose to be enlightened Be youthful and truly speak freely Alright youngster ? take it from me I wish you everlasting Peace.

The many emotions I feel right now is insanity It is too much to be able to contain inside oneself Especially for such an inexperienced youngster like me As these emotions make this life extremely tough The sadness enveloped in me is starting to escape It’s slowly breaking through, creating havoc on life I don’t know how much more I can possibly take Until these emotions cut my life apart like a knife

*******
Bite the bullet. A muddy boot, A ****** boot In the pimpled Face of Some kid; The barking Goes on. And they ask Why I do not Care, and I Just shrug; The barking Goes on. Hunger in the Streets and in Their media- Rotted minds; The barking Goes on. Faces split at The seams, eyes Peering At the Scenes and I wonder; The barking Goes on. The youth they Snort and cuss And the joints Are passed around; The barking Goes on. Birdshot in a Brother's eye, A blind dove ***** its wings; The barking Goes on. And they ask Why I do not Cry, and I Just shrug; The barking Goes on. The poor get Even poorer as the Man on television Shouts and moans; The barking Goes on. Droopy eyes lost Their spark as the Fire dies and we Linger in the dark; The barking Goes on. A youngster jailed For a bag of hash, As an old man rubs A girl half his age; The barking Goes on. And I bite the bullet, And I bite the bullet And hail the beard And hail the stars; And the barking Goes on!
