Poem Artwork

I have trouble
making the words stand still -
I get them all
dressed and looking perfect
and just when the
camera flashes, one
bursts out crying
(that one has always been
a little shy).

I have trouble
making the words stand still -
just when I think I have
everything in
place, I find they
aren't - they've disappeared
(getting out of
order is one of their most
favorite games).

I have trouble
making the words stand still -
they are wound up
and are bouncing off of
the walls in a
hyperkenetic zoom
of cheetah speed
(I can't keep up - no more
sugar for them).

I have trouble
making the words stand still -
they gotta fight
and argue over who's first
and who is next -
"HE WAS FIRST THE LAST TIME!!!!"
so on and so
forth until I'm ready
to scream...CALGON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have trouble
making the words stand still -
they've been stuck in
the pen all day and now's
the time to play.
Awwww...what the heck, I think
I will join them
(I've been working too hard
any damn way).

(c) 2005, Karla Dorman.

Well if they end up jumping into place as well as they did in this poem I think you have nothing to fear, they know where they should be. Good write Karla.

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
