THE CLUB #3

7. Category : nature

The fields sigh as they
stretch toward the
horizon that presses
itself between the grass
and a sky full of
clouds in explosion.

8.) double form

Haikus are short things
difficult to fit a lot,
i just fudge it, like

this: bubbles, bubbles
pop pop pop pop pop pop pop
bubbles bubbles pop

1. Must write a poem to yourself, or about yourself.

There are two things I want right now:
a glass of wine
and a single
tomorrow with
no poetry.

2.) pnq'er

There are three things I want right now:
Sibs
Jordan
Kevin
Doing their part.
#notbitter

3. War

In battle, I imagine the Clubbers
with bows and arrows, clubs
and swords, roaring and charging
with endearing war paint
in the shapes of penises
on their foreheads.

4.) sport

I heard once
that waterpolo
is fought mainly
with pee.

5. Wild

The closest I came to sport
this week was hopscotch
with a three year old
that couldn't hop
and I won easily
with a big hoppity pop.

6.) shape/color

Eyes are round,
and always white
except when they've
been carved out with spoons
and mashed to bits
and died purple.

7. Category : nature

It's in my nature
to have tea and cheese,
and wine. Lots of wine.
And then have
sex. I'm not sure I've brought
that across enough
in the last four days.

8.) forms

In the corner, sat
a spindly legged brown spider
watching me, always.

Let's be honest here:
Itsy bitsy spiders are
creepy creepy creeps

1. Must write a poem to yourself, or about yourself.

And on the topic of myself,
I'd like to add that my
breasts have never
felt firmer, riper and more
satisfying. Alas, that will decline
in two days time.

2.) pnqer

Britt is lovely, funny, sweet
but I wish she had more hobbies
than speed poetry.

3. War

No cannons, no gunfire,
no splatter of blood.
Just the tiny thunder
of 24 keys being tapped
in rapid succession.

4.) money.sport

I watched football,
confused
that they rarely even
footed the ball.

5. Wild

Narph, actually,
I was going to say
my red skirt is like
a swirling, sensual cone
with sex on top.

6.) color/shape

Abby, can I quote you on that,
next time I describe
your red triangle
skirt?

7. Category : nature

I wade through yellow grass
toward the merry stream,
in a red dress catching
the sparkle of the late winter sun.
NOOOOOOOOOOOTTT.

8. Double Form

My apples are ripe
eaten by codling moths
every bloody year

My apples are green
Its enough to bring a tear
they lie on the ground

1. poem to yourself, or about yourself.

Off to work I go
Thank god there is no snow
as off to work I go
Over hill over dale
as off to work I go
In rain or hail or snow

2. member's username

Silvershoes sitting at the end of my bed
shinny but no where new
well worn
a little torn
Very comfortable it must be said

3.) War

Britt doesn't know it
but this isn't war

this is playdough.

4. money, sport

$50 to watch a the footy
Down right robbery
blue bloody murder
Next year the winners forgotten
what's the point
Its not about sport,
Itys about the money, sport

5. Wild card

Life is but a dream sweetheart
or so the song still goes
never will we part
we've been together from the start
our life has been a dream sweetheart

6. one colour, AND one shape

My red convertible
is a dream
it maybe shaped like a box
but its still my dream
its a mean machine

7. nature

Pruned my apple tree
cut out the codling moth
dang critters
wreck my apples every bloody year
But this year got them beat my dear

8. Double Form

Pruned my grapevine
Its very messy on the path
It's job well done

mowed the grass again
Its growing so very fast
Get out the mower

1. Must write a poem to yourself, or about yourself.

Here's a secret:
in my poems, when I mention
Sarah or Peter or Tom or you,
I was talking about me
all along.

2.) someone else

Britt says
she's not a fan of speed poetry.
She's lying.
Note to self:
never trust her again.

3. War

Noura sits in Syria
her heart full of love
her country full of war
her fingers filled with fire

4.) money

If this was a sport
Britt would have too much money
and she'd buy herself
a lot of fresh veggies,
I imagine.

5.) wild

mushrooms mush up from the ground
riding the reigns of some
terrestrial oak

6.) color shape

a brown kidney shaped table
is surprisingly appetizing to eat at,
though you wouldn't expect it'd be good for much
but bean celebrating.

7.) nature

people fart a lot, it's natural
trees fart too,
they just smell better.

8.) double form

rugs are so pretty
except for when the dog pukes
then they are ugly

oriental rugs
disguise dog puke, and then you
step in it. Surprise!

1.) me

I don't know why,
but speed poetry
turns me into a
9 year old boy.

2.) someone else

Britt, please stop posting.
Go put your toes in the sand
and drink your tea.

3.) war

Tug of war,
and tugging the ball
from the dogs mouth
is like tugging PnQ
away from
a competitive
Britt.

4.) money

If I had lots of money
I'd buy beautiful wooden spoons
that tasted
like rosemary

5.) wildcard

THE CARDS ESCAPED,
they're on the lose,
pillaging and rough-housing
in the back yard.

6.) color/shape

I like big lumpy
blue pillows,
especially square ones,
with corners pinched
from hugs.
