Rubber Ducky Poetry Hour

[PoeticWitch]

God give me wings
So I might fly above the masses
To avoid the touch of them
For their cruelty and lies
Sicken me and leave a feel of filth on all they touch

If you cannot give me wings God
Can you give me patience
So I might teach the masses
Of love and life
To teach them to cherish all around them

God if you cannot give me patience
Can you bring about the zombie apocalypse
Population control in an instant
People would not take everything for granted
If today you could surely die

[PoeticWitch]

I want to fly and dance like a fairy on a spring wind
To laugh and giggle while kissing a flower to watch it bloom
I want to race hummingbirds and bees from flower to flower
To twirl and somersault in midair
Making my heart burst with uncontrollable joy
Oh to be carefree like a fairy or a child once more
To let the trappings of adulthood fall from my shoulders
To remember what it was like to believe in the magical
To have that magic back
To be sprinkled with fairy dust and go for a flight
To stand in a fairy ring and be transported to entirely different realm
Time to let go of adulthood and grow young again
Lets have a bit of fun

[PoeticWitch]

Why is it wrong
That I want to be left alone
For a bit of time
You call me anti social
But honey this is just recharging
My batteries
So I might keep this smile on my face
When you say something
That hurts my brain
Making me want to slap you
With the stupid stick

Anti social would be
Me hiding in a basement
Planning the demise
Of all the people
I have had to smack
With that stupid stick
So you see let me recharge
Let me have my time alone
Otherwise I might get grumpy
And have to slap you with that stupid stick

[PoeticWitch]

Sitting here watching the fire burn
Reds, oranges, and yellows swirling together
Up into the night sky
Giving off so much warmth
Reminding me of a good hug from a loved one

Walking down a road littered with fall leaves
Reds, oranges, and yellows flowing
In the wind everywhere
A chilly wind blowing through
Just makes you want to snuggle up with a loved one

Watching the sunset on the horizon
Reds, oranges, and yellows painted
Above us most beautifully
The coming of the night sky
Makes you want to go home and lay down with your loved one

Reds, oranges, and yellows knitted into a comfy blanket
So you might wrap it around you
To keep you warm and loved
For a time
Til your true love can be by your side

[PoeticWitch]

As we lay down to sleep
Our fingers touch
Across the expanse of this king size bed
This simple gesture so very comforting
To my heart
To my soul
We talk late into the night
About this.. about that
Sometimes our future
Sometimes our past
These words are snuggles for my brain
This meeting place at the end of the day
This king size bed

[PoeticWitch]

How is it that you can make me so mushy?
My heart so very squishy
Making me want to sing and dance with happiness
Paint pink hearts graffiti all over my reality
Smearing glitter on every passing soul
I want to tattoo smiley faces on everyone I know
Darling dear I love you
But this mushy crap has got to stop
Can't I just get a daisy or two?
If it rains right now I might melt!
Oh darling dear I love you true
Lets not mush me too much just yet

[PoeticWitch]

The day has dawned
Sky so blue
Sun so bright
Air so crisp and clear

Invigorating
Refreshing
Just makes me want to stretch out
Stretch out to the four corners of the world

Share my being with one and all
Share my happiness with one and all
Share the magic I do see with one and all
Let me share this with one and all

The day has dawned
Most beautiful
The possibilities are endless
Just open your eyes and see

[PoeticWitch]

Music playing
Lyrics being sung
Inspiring memories
Visions of the past
Slipping behind my eyes

The bands that meant so much to me
Their songs that touched my soul
To this day I swear they sang just for me
I thought they knew what I went through
The pain and agony of memories healing

I remember jumping around to
Korn and Linkin Park
Dancing of a sort to
Tool and A Perfect Circle
Helping me feel that in some way I am understood

Today I sit here and listen to them all again
Thanking all powers that be
For the gift of these bands
For their music helped me in many ways
When I wasn't open to other live human beings

No matter what music you listen to
Be it rap or jazz, be it punk or alternative
Be it opera or broadway showtunes
As long as it touches your soul
That is all that matters

[PoeticWitch]

Everywhere you look
There is someone
Telling someone else
What they can and cannot do

Who are you to tell me
That I cannot marry
That I cannot be happy
With the one I love

This is a party for one and all
Or so they said
But see that guy
He isn't allowed because of his dangly bits

This here bar is for drinking
But apparently my money isn't good enough
Because I have tits and a pussy
Sorry guys I don't have a dick for you!

We have enough discrimination
Do we really need to discriminate
Against our own
Rise above it

But we sit back and let it happen
But no more honey
I am going to rise above it
Where ever I see it happening

[PoeticWitch]

What is a life worth?
Is it worth a drink or two?
Three or four? Maybe more?

You and your friends
Out on the town for the night
Drinking away, as if you were fish

Closing time has come
Who is to drive?
You are drunk and he is too

Behind the wheel
Speeding down the road
Flash of light, screech of tires

All you hear is screaming
Burning smell mixed with a coppery sent
Your hand covered in blood

Your friend beside you is dead
The people in the other car
All dead except for the one screaming

What is a life worth?
How about three lives?
Several years in prison I hope

[PoeticWitch]

Feeling so stagnant
Neither flowing forward
Nor backwards

So very putrid are my thoughts
Is it the lack of stimulation
Or the persons I converse with

This current state of mind
Feeling so very disturbed
Remove this poison from my being

The negativity is so very contagious
Spreading through me corrupting
My individual essence

Please save my soul
From the evil of the world
Encroaching on my happiness

Please rip this vile energy
From my fragile mortality
And cleanse my spirit

Help me be free of negativity
Help me be pure of hate
Help me be happy once again

[PoeticWitch]

In the need of magic
In need of belief
Of something bigger then me
Oh to be able to see infinity
To be able to see the mystical
Ethereal, transcendental, totally unreal
To watch the unimaginable come to life
Oh Goddess bless me!
Open my third eye
To the Magic that surrounds me
Day in and day out
Let the magic brighten my day
Let the magic brighten my soul
Let the magic brighten my world!

[PoeticWitch]

The seasons are changing
From hot to chilly over night
Little summer dresses are traded
For jeans and comfy sweaters

The seasons are changing
Hot summer fun a fond memory
Cold fall nights snuggled around an open fire
In our immediate future

The seasons are changing
The bikinis are packed away
The blankets are pulled out
Long walks at night with the one you love

The seasons are changing
The trees change from green
To beautiful reds and oranges
Soon to fall and fly through the air

The seasons are changing
Summer where we fight to keep the yard green
Now we have to rake leaves everyday
Big black trash bags dotting our yard

The seasons are changing
Summer is gone
Fall is here
Winter is coming

[PoeticWitch]

Do you ever wonder what a cat thinks?
What it thinks while it looks at you?
You would like to think they just want to connive more food out of you
Or maybe what pile of laundry to lay on that day, clean or dirty

But the truth is it is thinking "Damn I wish I had thumbs!"
If a cat had thumbs they wouldn't need us
So when you get that feeling as a cat is staring at you
That it might be planning your demise.... it is... if it had thumbs that is

Thumbs to open bags of catfood
Thumbs to open cans of catfood
Thumbs to clean kitty litter boxes
Thumbs to open the front door to escape and be free!

But alas the evolutionary chain has skipped them
No thumbs for them
We best be thankful
Or they would take over the world

They would make us their slaves
To make us feed them
To make us pet them
To make us clean up after them

Damn.. we are slaves to the cats!

[PoeticWitch]

As children we all thought or said
"I cannot wait until I grow up,
To do whatever I want whenever I want!"

As adults we all think or say
"Oh to be a kid again,
To be carefree with no responsibilities!"

Neither child or adult is happy with their lot
There is no happy medium
Between childhood and adulthood

Being a teenager might be the worst of all
Knowing you cannot go back to the carefree days
But seeing the heavy responsibilities before you.

So maybe remember that
The next time your teenager rebels
That they are just fighting the inevitable they know is coming.

[PoeticWitch]

Karma is her name
The Lady of Justice
She who can punish us
Or bless us

Kismet is her name
The Lady of Destiny
To lead us to great power
Or great catastrophe

The Fates three
Clotho she was the spinner of the thread of life
Lachesis she measured the thread of life allotted to each person
Atropos she cut the thread, choosing each persons manner of death

Oh the Ladies who rule our lives
Lovely everyone of them in their own way
But deadly too if you anger them
So tread lightly, speak softly, and be kind.

[PoeticWitch]

I am a bibliophile
A lover of books
To read, to touch
To hold, to absorb

To feel the paper pages
Under my finger tips one page at a time
To smell the ink
The aroma filling my nose as the pages turn

My eyes deciphering the words
Creating images in my mind
The story of this tome
Unfolding before me, pulling me along for the ride

The happenstance thief
Discovering a most heinous plot
The Hero or Heroine
Battling the great evil

You think the end is near
Good has triumphed!
But what is this?!
A greater evil! A cliffhanger!

A lead to another book
To pull you in
To lead you on another adventure
With your characters that you love so dear

[PoeticWitch]

The words on the paper
Seem to swirl and twirl
Turning in on itself
I think my eyes have gone cross-eyed

To read about computer parts
Motherboards and CPU's
The best of Intel and AMD
Puts my brain on snooze

Give me a desktop or laptop
Let me put my hands inside
Let me take out the CPU and Video Cards
I will be the happiest geek you ever did see.

I am a hands-on kinda geek
I am visual maybe a little bit verbal
But this book is draining my brain
Come on let my hands play with the source

[PoeticWitch]

Standing out under the sun
Thrusting my hands up
Giving a little prayer to the Sun God
My feet start to move
Dancing around as He fills me full of life
Sparks come from my finger tips
As I spin and dance wildly
Loving life and loving all around me
A spark leaps from me to you
Then you start to smile and dance
Laughing and twirling as sparks fly off of you
The spark of life leaps from you to another
And to another, til it takes over the whole world
It starts with one.. one smile, one dance step
Spreads like wildfire across the planet
Help me carry the spark of life to cover the globe
To share the Love and Peace I feel at the touch of the Sun
The Sun the giver of warmth, the giver of life on a cold winters day
Come lets celebrate that the Sun rotates our fair Earth and be thankful

[PoeticWitch]

Abandoned this building
We humans have crafted
From brick, from wood

We rip the resources from the Earth
We mold it to what we want
We use it for a time

Then we abandon it
To be reclaimed by the Earth again
A new home for the wild

The plants move in first
Growing up the walls
A tree sprouts in the middle of a room

The mice and rats come next
Making homes in the desks
Using the random cloth left behind for nests

Then come the cats
Hunting for the mice and rats
And maybe a dry place to stay awhile

Yes Mother Earth has reclaimed
What we have abandoned
And made it beautiful again.
