Ode to Lemon Meringue Pie
Teetering on the platter
A treat for human senses
It’s food to make you fatter
Crushing all of your defences
Its snowy dunes and hollows
Of flouncy sweet meringue
Are made for ample swallows
Of dessert sturm und drang
Ignore it at your peril
Its appeal you can’t deny
When hunger makes you feral
Reach for lemon meringue pie
Its gaudy citrus layer

an ode to Nancy
she died on the bathroom floor you know.
a cut on her ribs.
the rib borne from man,
killed the girl on the bathroom floor.
no one had kindness. no one had words of condolences.
only four pictures and a note,
only they proved someones love for her.
the things that made her beautiful,
an innocence lost,
a bleach blonde tangle,
and a vicious lover from a doomed...

An Ode To The Note Left On The Fridge Door
AN ODE TO THE NOTE LEFT ON THE FRIDGE DOOR
Not that it matters, but who could have foreseen the end of the world
That silky-sulky visceral notion dawning on the horizon
It whispers in hot agitation about what
Matters and bothers shall not burden
But ...

a bipolar ode
the weather sucks today
the sun rose sultry grey
it’s supposed to be sunny tomorrow
and i love the orange sun rays
and i hate the rain’s tears
on frosted window glass
smiling shy though the clouds,
shining bright blue sky between its teeth
trapping me in a black stone prison,
its suffocating grey walls
freeing me from misconceptions
made be...

How an Ode to Glitter Became an Elegy to Ziggy Stardust
Oh Mr. Stardust and I have a mutual love
Copolymer sheets grinded down to miniscule hexagons
Not as glamourous as crushed diamonds
But now availible in an epic array of application methods
My way to freak out in a moonage daydream
It glints and gleams with glimpses of faraway starmen
My mind does a dreamlike disco
A heady intoxication lacking propriety
Have you tasted it? I...

Ode To The Passing Of A Friend
Reflecting on the passing of a friend,
It’s hard to pass the sorrow of the day.
With all the thoughts that sadness will not end;
No matter how you seek to find a way.
The pulsing pain that pierces like a dart
To stab you and constrain your happiness
In mournful clouds of bitter mental strife;
You strive to strike apart
These shackles so that you can then address,
The joy...

An Ode to Online Dating
I'm going to give this context by starting off reading my old match and pof profile. This is genuinely real.
It's always hard to know what to say on these things so I'm just going to fill my profile with exaggeration and nonsense.
I would describe myself as a cross between Brad Pitts character in fight club and a sensitive fireman who likes kittens. Overall I'm pretty awesome. Kind, in...

Ode to a friend
There's many a thing could be said about a man,
who practices the guitar whilst taking a dump.
A guy who sits between two parked chairs,
playing pool drunk,
then slumping to the floor comfortably numb.
Bathroom antics are this man's speciality,
best friend and lover with the bog brush,
his bed the floor.
His cosy duvet cover is the bath mat,
and the toilet for a pil...
