Reads like an awesome blues song. I'm listening to "I'll Play the Blues for You" in the background as I read this poem and the rhythm fits perfectly. Music to the ears of all us survivors. Great title and verse. ❤

Thank you Do.RoThy.
I have lost tons of decent poetry on account of how my family and I have been treated.
I even swore I would not write anymore but, as you can guess, it is in all us poets. We struggle not to write.
Thank you again.

Snow, I am a good cat
I got no sins to hide
I not played with no mousies
I not made mousy died
So therefore snow, no need
To cover up, me cat
I sinless, pure, and purr-like
(that's where my rhyme is at)
Purrrrr....

Spiders are present in every house,
Definitely more common than the mouse.
They rid our homes of insects and lice,
They do this free ,don't charge a price.
With its front legs it tastes its prey,
Injects it with chemicals and drinks it away.

needing a recharge
soul has returned
talking to someone
finding without text
a meaningful conversation
mentally unbearably painful
hard to maintain
without screaming again.

It takes a lot of courage Alexandra to open your inner self on the open stage to strangers. As said I have written openly about my bipolarity for a while now. I know the problem. What will others think of me? I was told by family it's personal Don, keep it to yourself. I think opposite. How can anyone understand bipolars if no-one talks about it? You can't. To me it's now education. As well as cathartic.

You've posed a deepish question Joe
Is God a he or her
Or her or he (vice versa)
Does it bark or purr?
I've heard no woofs from up above
Can any purrs you hear?
Not getting any sound effects
(Maybe you got blocked ear)
No sign from above Joe. Maybe a him/her hybrid?

Christmas Downunder
Our friends all send us Chrissy cards
Bedecked with snow and holly
And riding on his snowy sleigh
You guessed it, Santa jolly
Forget it's 40 degrees and everyone's sweltering
We all dance round, be jolly (make out)
We open Chrissy presents
In paper tree'd and snowy
You guessed it Santa stars again
All centre-put and showy
Forget it's 40 degrees and everyone's sweltering
We all dance round, be jolly (make out)
We sits ourselves down for our din
Roast turkey, chicken, duck
It's bloody hot, still 40 deg
All I can say is f......
Forget it's 40 degrees and everyone's sweltering
We all dance round, be jolly (make out)
I'm sure card/paper sellers
Must know some Chinese guy
With piles of cast-off Chrissy stuff
Us suckers always buy
Looksee Aussie Aussie Plenty Santa. Going cheap......

Very true, Don. It can take a lot out of a writer to be open about themselves being the subject of a personal and/or delicate poem - well, that has been the case for me anyway. But it is definitely rewarding.

So good Ruth....
Here's my little Christmassy tap tap contribution
That tap you heard on window Ruth
Was really our friend Santa
You didn't hear red Rudolph
Doing little canter?
Of course you didn't Ruthy
He won't come tap tap tap
Until the eve of 25th
Till then there's quite a gap
He's gotta oil n grease the sleigh. Rudolph needs a nose refresh (fades to pale pink in 12 months). Elves gotta be rounded up and brought back from hollies in Bali (and an acceptable paying contract sorted. One year they went on strike over pay. Can you believe that Ruth?). He's then gotta send the team out to all the charity shops and collect gifts for the kiddies. I hope he don't leave you a secondhand trike in error.
As writer of this 'drivel' I get as much pleasure as you the reader. Maybe I could publish my own book 'Drivel According to Poet Don'
Followed up with 'More Drivel.....' 'A Whole Lot More.....
Who's this driveler Don Eth?......
Dunno pet. Some oddball from Orstralia.....
Isn't it Ostrailya Eth?.....
Not according to my cyclopedia pet.....
I told you Google is the latest update Eth.....

Po dear, your words are deep.if only my heart and soul behave themselves well and follow. They like two naughty kids keep bragging n i feel so exhausted n helpless to give them their love. I feel helpless n tired n exhausted n dying n not knowing what is n what will be n what i should do n whether or not...phew.....utter chaos n confusion my little mind has created in my skull....need to bring a mechanic to untangle all the curved wires that are creating short circuit in my head...reflected in my heart n felt by my gentle breaking soul.
I'm sure u r confused too after reading this..phew!!! Phew!!! Phew!!
