Reunions

[ishtat]

The last few days I have been wandering around here a bit reading this and that and in particular looking at poems that have been here a few years and which need to be taken out and dusted off occasionally.

This evening I read Normal Jean's "it's not what you know" and Angeline's "Nothing" both excellent and utterly different.

Maybe you might like to pick out an older poem and post a link. I would have done so for these two but the dratted links won't work for me this evening.

If nothing else just read one of these poems .

Nice thread Ishtat

I have always enjoyed dipping into the archives at random, I used to enjoy the threads that listed the results of a random spin - not sure who the authors were, Rybka was one.

I would like to add Little Black Dress by DeepAsleep and Pecking Order by - again- normal jean

Thanks, Ishtat. This was very nice of you to remember these two poem. And it's a good idea for a thread. There's so much wonderful poetry here. A few people have chronicled poems here in various threads, but I'm always up for a new one.

So here, I'll link the two poems you cited (specially since one is mine. Ahem.).

it's not what you know by normal jean

Nothing by Angeline.

And I'll add a few poems that will enhance any reader's day (well imo).

A Romantic in Hell by smithpeter

Hyperbatic by Lauren Hynde.

Perhaps it is the hurricane by annaswirls

Later, at the pub

A woman cross goat
like mountain climber
bruised and blued
lanky up inside cute shorts

she has no beeswax
being so pretty after bumping
bouncing bungee jumping

is there a cure for allure
not her, oh sure.
but those thighs

repel,
reel,
reclaim

Flippy
by BooMerengue©

You fell out when the book opened
Well not you silly!
I had forgotten you were here!

One fish! Two fish!
Red fish! Blue fish!
I hear your giggle near my ear.

Let me count your freckles again!
Mommy won't care!
green marker dots...52, 53, 54!

So you have a note? An invite
to an overnight? Can I go? No!?!
It's just boys??

And you have money, too,
In your pocket; 27 cents- wow!
A lot of gum!

And then a scream of brakes, a thud.
Thats all. Not much. So fast.

And you've been hiding here ever since.
In my book. 28 years.
Still giggling near my ear.

I haven't really forgotten, you know.
