Soft Toy

‘Shut up now, I’ve heard

Enough’

 

‘And stop giving

Me that gormless

Smiley fucking look’

 

‘Sorry, sorry, I don’t mean

What I say’

 

‘Come, come

Sit down, no not there, there

And sit fucking straight’

 

‘Now then

Isn’t this great

Have some

Tea and, I insist,

Cake’

 

‘And

Elbows

Off tables’

 

‘Are you full?

Bravo!’

 

Now I can

Empty

 

And as my mouth breaks down the wings on my butterfly cake and drains my cup, I’ll watch you….

 

Spill your stuffing guts all over the table cloth….

 

‘Tut, tut

You silly boy

What a mess’

 

Every time

Leaving a

Little more

Stuffing out

 

Kissing you

Better

I can smell

The stale scent

Of my love

From where

I rubbed your

Nose in it

 

Another refill?

I love this. Your writing always paints pictures and I think of Alice in wonderland.
I always see a mirror somewhere in your poems and I'm not sure if its you or me looking into it.
I see children sometimes and lost lovers at other times.
More please.

They (came back to say others - I don't like the word they) might just think it's shit, and that's okay but I know what you mean. xxx

Thank you for your comment. 'Pretty Good' sits very well with me.

My intention is not to disturb or upset. I can't and will not control my scribbles. I must admit, I do censor very slightly. Should you be looking for the 'punch' it is in all the verses!

I disagree with the protective ploy on my part, young children express their past through their toys, they then turn into adults, pass their love and toys down, from learnt behaviour.

For me, the best way is always to go with your own interpretations, instincts, form your own pictures and always be a a fool.
