Fruitful Reading - A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on June 26, 2009

The end has a twist, like lemon.
The middle is voluptuous,
however you spell it.  Tastes
like grapes, the purple kind.
The beginning is quaint like
little log cabins, but stronger
and more entertaining.  needs
spice, ginger, it smells the
best.  But not too much, after
all this is light reading and sweets
will spoil your diet.

The Fight I Like - A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on June 19, 2009

Like drums that come and beat and stop
Round and dizzy you reach the top.
Sweat and blood smear your harmless face.
To stand and fight is no disgrace.
Flame and strength will never be gone
Till honor and glory be done.

Then take the fire and fight again.
The brand is hot, the foe remains.
No victor wins.  There is no death.
No fallen foe takes his last breath.
Come now you fool to live this life.
No heroes here just daily strife.

Poetry - A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on June 17, 2009

Poetry is not inside.  I
Write, true, but
Fiction comes too strong.  the
Meter is wrong.  I death a
Metaphor, I don’t know.
Climax is not dying, nor do I wish a
Character so dark.  The heart’s
Image wants to be good, but the
Symbol is bad.

Creativity - A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on June 12, 2009

Willaim, raise your hand to talk.
Stay in your seat.
Color in the lines.
The correct
answer is C.
Wait for the bell to ring.
Math is the key
to learning.
Read.
Write.
no singing now.
Try harder.
Why can’t you be
like everybody?
What makes
you so average?

Snot - A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on June 10, 2009

Jumbled thoughts of snot
Interrupted intermittently by
Images idling on my eyes,
Of you and puke and goo.

Red in the Face - A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on May 22, 2009

Another kind of heat
that turns a would be
man red.  The fire is
all inside and hurts worse
than the flame of death.
the burning of hell it
seems would be less
than the pain I cause
myself by the burning
of embarrassment.

I’m Sorry - A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on May 15, 2009

Don’t worry about it.
I say that a lot.
What I mean is,
Ignore me while I
Gather my thoughts.
Don’t embarass me
Right now.  I know
Its not your intent,
But I feel so ashamed
That you’ve uncovered
My heart.  I just
Can’t bear for you to
Tear it.  What?
You like me anyway?

Farm Shadow - By Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on May 1, 2009

The day the shadow

came, the rabbit froze.

We found the tiny body

like and ice-cream cake,

waiting.

The shadow blight

spread like pollen on the legs

and wings of black bees;

touching, filling, infecting

matter.

With gree rot in its green

gut, the shadow fell

like silk on the farm.

The chickens flipped

like pancakes on Sunday,

mourning.

The hands wrought

in shadow from light

to wake the brown cows

who slept the way people

do without black

coffee.

Steady as a broken heart,

the shadow flits on memory

until the fish inside swim

up the cold pebble path

back to the barn

burning.

The shadow left when the rabbit

thawed in the noon darkness,

and the wild fish drowned

in the wake of warm cow

pollen.

Life In A Week - By Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on April 15, 2009

Sunday philosophy.

Monday desperately
needs Tuesday’s
bright sunshine.

Wednesday stands free
of good or evil.

Thursday destiny.

Because Friday’s
choice must be made
before Saturday.

Happy? - A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on April 10, 2009

Smiles soft as summer days.
Now red as if painted on.
The mark placed here will never fade.
Its twisted visage grows bleak
And almost streaks away.
Bubbling now this smile grows
To cover, blend in deathly haze
Running down, spreading out
This smile dances, smudges, plays.
A gross mark to end all smiles.
