Forgotten kiss
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Did you forget to kiss me?
Did I forget to kiss you?
No
He forgot to say
“Kiss the bride”

Finally
Sealed by the
The touch with lips
Never a day goes by
With a forgotten kiss
Our “kiss the bride”moment was funny. It was forgotten to be said and he presented us as as married couple and we both turned around and just stared at him like “you forgot something!”

Instrument
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
You’re the only instrument
I’ve ever learned to play
Which keys to touch
Which ones to leave patiently
For another day
Out of tune at times
Then play me some rhymes
But after all these years
Still so much to learn
We have saved all our notes
Joyous and melancholy
Waiting for the next day
To hear the new music we’ll make
Relationships take work, patience and learning.

(Idea from Mark S. “ Sensual Guitar dreams”)

Hairdemic
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
My dolls hair is *****... ewe
It’s kinda full of grit and goo
Fired her styling crew
Due to layoffs... boo
Is there any doll shampoo
Or is that out of stock too?
Questionable rhyme and subject.

Odor optional
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Social distancing
So
Deodorant optional?
No

Unless you’re ok with that 😛

Mourning shore
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Our beautiful castle
Was only made of sand
Packed tight but fragile
Crashed by the furious shore
It took away our castle
Grain by grain into the sea
I watched it wash away
Slowly with grief

My love stayed bright
I built a lighthouse on that shore
To shine brilliant towards you
So you can find me again
It flickers off and on
Grows weary with time
But I will wait and not burn out
Because I know you’re mine
9 years

Baby cat belly
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Baby new cat
I love your little tummy
Full of mama cat milk
Your little round belly
I try to tickle
To make you giggle
And lightly mew
“bew bew bew”
It sounds like “bew” to me. In response to Mark S To my fellow poets.

Lepidoptera (For kids)
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Butterflies get all the love
Get all of the attention
Come out in daylight
When you can shine in the sun
Fold your wings
Beautiful to peer
Slender smooth stance
Grown in a fancy house

What about me?
I’m pretty too
Stout and fuzzy
Come out at night
Shining in the moonlight
Show my wings on display
Like a jet plane
Grown in modest house
Clothing not as daring as yours  
Name is small and dull

But I can still fly just as far
As you can... if I wanted
I’m not an ugly butterfly
You’re just a fancy moth
Moth vs Butterflies equally amazing. We are all different and beautifully made. Idea from Shamamama
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
I found out you had acquired
A photo of me

I gave it to your grandma
But it was in your possession

It resulted in
The stealing of my heart

You still have the picture
And you still have my heart
I loved that you had my picture.

When I knew
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Staring longingly
Into the vivid night sky
Alone at the oceans edge
No fear to ponder
How deep the sky was
How sharply clear it was
How far it could go
How long it would last
How vast it was
Eternal
Safe
Pure
Enveloping
Overwhelming
Encompassing
A soft breeze wrapped around me
Speaking reassuring whispers
That’s when I knew
I loved you

Of all the same color

My word puzzle
Just added the whole dictionary
Can’t spell it? Look it up
My inquisitive puzzled face
Just challenged you
Take it and solve me
There’s bonus points

FUN HOUSE MIRRORS

Looked in the fun house mirrors
Then walked away in thought
The distorted view of myself
Really was because of the circus
Distorted views created by unrealistic settings

Evil Snarf shopping
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
The Jar Jar hot pocket
Unicorn on the cob
Chile verde beak plate
Pickled innards sensation
Most of it recalled
Or no returns accepted
Last dinners of choice
During the panic invasion
Finding your usual go to items during panic shopping is not easy. I’m seeing weird items I didn’t know existed. These were Evil Snarfs choices and ****** the Poet wrote them down. Never sending him again. (“Unicorn on the cob” courtesy of a poem by Mr Carlo Gomez)

No brainer
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Live it up as usual
Spring breakers
Life on the edge
So close to the ledge
Learning nothing of use
All that education
Given enough stupider
Was really all in the computer
Invincible youth. Hard lessons are usually learned the hard way

scrubbed
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
This mission called life

For jordan and everyone else dealing with kids and work and stress at home. Basically everyone.

Polka dot dress
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
•Black and white dotted cotton•
•Soft lines and flowing•
•So stylish I said this polka dot dress•
••••••                          ••••••
•••••••••••
Twirlin­g-will they notice me in it
Will they see how pretty I feel
It’s new to me, I feel so real
•••••••••••
Too young just yet
For attentions like that
Slow down late bloomer, not too fast
•••••••••••
I could still hope for stares
And wish for admirers
Would anyone care for braided hair
•••••••••••
Years later my true love says
I remember seeing you when we were younger
You stood out among the rest
••••••••••••
Really?
You saw me?
You remember that?
What did you see?
Tell me!
••••••••••••
A Long french braid
Hoop earrings and•••
You

Real feelings. True story. You just never know who’s noticing you, could be your future love.
On 3-18-1995 You married me and I married you. The dress worked! Happy anniversary

Jealous poet
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
I wonder how our
Love story will end?
Who said it had to have an end?

Quick rain
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Turn the music sheet
Bring the new rain
Elegant drops of scale
Chromatic raps on terrain

New shoes practicing tap
Ears are drumming away
Thunder percussion cloud claps
Singing loud and clear drink

It’s almost done
Only sound
wound
down
now

Depressed Donut
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
No one gets you
Your not useful
In a crisis
Poor box of donuts
I will buy you
And you’re on sale?
I will buy two
There was no paper supplies so I got donuts. They looked sad. I didn’t really buy 2. That was for a dramatic affect.

One night stand
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
We had one once
Remember?
It wasn't much
It could of been better
It was a while ago
Something was missing
That's why it was so pitiful
Cheap stuff just doesn't last
Probably discounted
It only held a fan and some pills
Sorry lol

Short and sour
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
You promised to have and to hold
You lied, you took and you stole
Left five kids to go be a sinner
I hope you eat those words daily
For breakfast, lunch and dinner
To the supposed man my mother married. I won’t call him step dad.

Simpler time sounds
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
A cheesy 70’s drama soundtrack
And the choppy muttons
An 80’s sitcom opening theme
With the track of fake laughs
A 90’s epic movie ending credits
Award winning sweeping songs

These things are now vintage
And priceless if you actually lived them
I’m watching six million dollar man and the cheesy soundtrack music is so awesome and those “fast running” sound effects!

Evil Snarf said I could
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
It fell so hard
It rolled on the floor
I just stared
Was it my heart?
It almost broke
Oreo cookie double stuffed
I ate it anyways
My inner rebel said it was ok
It was intact thanks to “the stuff”
So is my happy heart
By Alter ego: Evil Snarf and The ****** Poet. A little bit of the ridiculous

Second hand land
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Pookie the velvety frog
Charlie the blue tailed purple rat
The little grey mouse with pink ears
I couldn’t leave them
All alone in a separated bin
In giant second hand land
They needed me to save them
Or they may become trash
I begged Grandma- see!
Help me-help them!
Relief... thank you Grandma
They became my “best ofs”
Second hand toys
But not second hand friends
Thrift store “toy saving” with grandma. One of my favorite memories with her.

Bloom again
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
“After an orchid stops blooming
Take it gently from its ***
Shake off the old bark
And cut off any dead roots with a Sterile razor blade or scissors

Don’t make the mistake of putting
It into a bigger ***
Because orchids don’t like that
They like to have their roots
Crowded in a small space

So *** it into a same size ***
Holding its leaves so the roots
Dangle into the ***
Add bark and gently mix the pieces
Around its roots to hold them
Snugly”

(I thought this “how to make a orchid bloom again” was like rekindling love using words like gentle and snugly, caring for the roots and taking great care of this most precious delicate thing)

Stupider
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Don’t catch stupider
We get it from ignorance
The cure may cost us dear
And its very lengthy
And we don’t have
That kind of time
Be careful out there
I edited this to "we" instead of "you"...to include myself. No one is immune.

Stigma sticks
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Stigmas for sale
Or disgracefully free with coupon
Available in all sticky flavors
Whichever you choose
Born with one, get one free
Are you sure you even want it
They are very social
If you get it to behave
Follows you everywhere
We can even force one upon you
Go live your one day at a time
Make no plans for tomorrow
But what about yesterday
Because stigma sticks around
The bitter aftertaste here to stay
Stigmas- it even sounds like a sticky word

Why on this big round earth
Didn’t you use more softener?

Writing bug
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
The scars of
Who we are

The stories of
All our glory

The songs of
Lives lived long

The beauty
Of our sweet cutie

The telling a
Of all our yelling

Piece it all together
Puzzles with letters

Amazing poems written
We all get bitten
The writing bug is inspired by other poets. Read other people’s work and we learn so much!

Can you spare a square
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Two ply or one
Rough or pillow soft
Squeeze or don’t squeeze
Just don’t sneeze

Now everyone needs
To be locked up
Everyone else is getting in on the toilet paper obsession I might as well.

That’s not fair
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Flare up angry pain
Like an unjust
Unexpected scolding
Received as a child
That can’t be remedied
I did nothing wrong
To deserve it
Why me
No consoling
Not even redemption
Disappointment in me
Maybe I do deserve it
It’s just too personal
A feeling I get when it flares up. I’m sure I don’t know the half of it. A lot of people live with chronic pain. You have my empathy

Spare me the tears
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Make me sob for you
Sweeping break up song
Make my tears whell up
Emotionally written script
Make misty eyes for me
Baby anything to music
Make me be blind with tears
Speaking of all our years
Out of the blue waterworks
Holding me tight that first night
Let if flow freely
There's plenty of tears to spare
If it moves you, its OK to cry.

Ink blots
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
I held my pen
Pressed on the paper
Yet to write
It bled ink
Into a giant pool
Blots of my thoughts
Big enough so
There was no eraser
What did it mean
Was it something bigger
Does it have to mean
Anything except
New pens I figure
Overthinking can make things a mess

Kiss hello kiss hello
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
You came upon me
Stared at me with
Giant gleaming eyes
Kissed my arm
Said hello in
Your own words
Took a quick bite
Came back around
Kissed my hand this time
Said hello again with
Your special words
Then went back
To eating your kibbles
My cat sounds like a real romantic

Time change
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
When you use
Dollars and cents
Instead of

Chocolate then sleep
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Collected while awake
Mostly unawares
Safe keeping for
My brain bottle
Mind tipped over asleep
Images spilling out
Interwove and mixed
Creating the unwelcome
Smells of body ashes
Organized as decor
Blue pool builtins
Into lush mountainsides
Friends and enemies attended
Gathered together 
Hiding and cowering
From this nightmare
All I can say is I need a new sleep to erase this one. I really shouldn’t eat chocolate before bed.

Pursuit on silent mode

Bridesmaid woah
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Barney I didn't love purple tress
Shimmering metallic loud dress

Giant white clip silky hair bow
Cake top decor I shoulda said no

It was leftover 80’s -1993
The resentment set in quickly

My groom mate
Was difficult to take

For my affections he made a play
At my betrothed mans dismay

A crooked headed doll on display
Why did it have to be this way

Only redeeming thing was snaps
Of me looking right at my sweet

Going forward I said never again
No bridesmaid for family or friend

But Im glad she chose me for that
Big day with her Mister

She is after all
My big sister
I begged her to change the purple tone of the dress. But it was her wedding. The things we do for our family.

For the bad day(ers)
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Sometimes there
Just isn’t a pill
It’s just the will
Of a grey day

Go away ugly coat weather
Hide under my bed
Come out when we need you
But just not today

Twirl in my PJs
Because that’s what I need
I crave more sleep
So down my head I lay

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe not even then
I’ll deal with it when i need to
Then I can pick up my pen
Some days are a complete waste of thought. Try again tomorrow maybe. For a fellow poet and any others having a bad day.

Thoughts of the sidewalk
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Walk all over me
Why don’t you
Gums
Butts

You all away
Then it will repeat

The old man to self
Mrs Timetable Mar 2020
Dear baby me:
You were wrinkled
You had no hair
Couldn't walk
Couldn’t formulate a thought
Cried a lot
Couldn't see too clear
Couldn’t distinguish what I hear
Can’t figure out how
I am so much like that now
It happened too fast
Why didn't my youth last
Seemed in an instant
I was no longer an infant
I knew nothing of life
But sure now it’s with strife
I remember way back when
I can’t remember now and then
It’s just not really fair
Being old with flair
No one forgot the baby you see
I hope no one forgets the now me
