Cheri
A fool’s joke isn’t so funny
if the joker laughs the longest
leaving the fool feeling dumbest
mad to tell the Easter bunny.
Lynne
Apologies to gentlefolk
this attempt at April Fools play
was to wait the following day
but now that seems no foolish joke.
Lynne
When my life turns counterclockwise
I forget the calendar date
and write my four lines one day late
and for that I apologize.
Lynne
Sometimes I kneel in compromise
inclined to recline with my fate
but other times I just can’t wait
to turn my life counterclockwise.
Lynne
When jabbed by dark cold hell I feel
my heart dance wild jigs with my gut
and I work to stay upright but
sometimes I compromise and kneel.
Lynne
The prod that makes all things move well
is sharp and dull and hard and soft
which are too different you scoff
but being jabbed feels like cold hell.
