Bri Edwards Friends Poems

Trees were my childhood friends (along with neighbor, Helen) .
Now trees, and other South Carolina plants, have me YELLIN'.
Oh, it may not be outloud-yelling; I keep some feelings inside,
But, my displeasure with some plants here, I'll not from you hide.

July's showcase is done. It's finished, but not ‘forgot'.
Many of you generously filled at least …one poem slot,
and some filled two, the limit I've put in place for now.
It's nearly August, so ……into August let's now plow.
...

I think the 'Old PoemHunter' 'forbade' us from using
this as an 'email-type' of site. Too bad!
I'm taking a risk that, for any transgression on my part,
I will be banished, ...as it would be SAD!

Post Card # 1: Sweet Susie

I know a gal whose name is Susie.
Despite all the rumors, she is no floozy.
...

Come one, come all. Well, not quite;
only those who have the poem 'bite';
that is, those who like poetry to write,
or at least to read it when it's …..in sight.
...

Roses are red, and violets blue.
Phyllis binds us, as if she were glue.

It's hard enough, as we get OLDER,
...

As December comes to its final week.
allow me to ink some words quite meek**.
[they won't be heard above a mouse squeak]
'Please, at this showcase, will you peek? ? '

Hi!
...

This poem's SECOND stanza I did mostly borrow …
from LAST month's Section A. But lest sorrow …
come to you, I now say: 'The rest of this is NEW,
and written for you and You and …………YOU! '
...

'Captain A' met two 'good boyz'.
Mahdi: physics expert; loves computer toys.

For 10 months I've given PH friends another place to share ….
their poems, and have their names also be ……"there".
"There" is my monthly "a showcase for PH poets", you know.
from one "Section" [A], to 4 [A, B, C, &D] …..it did grooOW.
...

In neighboring hospitals (on the same day) Jon and Jack were born.
Jon came out with no complications, while Jack’s mother was accidentally torn ….
by Jack’s unusually large head before his mom was …..fully-dilated.
Her distress was so great that the doctor had Jack’s mom sedated.

Reunions are cool.....though maybe not so much in the summer.
That this year I'll miss my first one ever is a bit of a bummer.
It's at least interesting to see you all.....even you aging macho guys,
and to give or get answers to all the 'who? 'S, 'what? 'S, and 'why? 'S.
...

Maybe all that's needed by Vinny and Vern,
is to know that, for each other, there IS concern!

And maybe a case of beer or a bottle of J&B scotch.

Reading: "(though finding therein none of mine is a big put off) "...
...in Anu's recent Thank You Note to me, made me sputter and COUGH.
Yes, I was reading, AND eating pizza, and was caught by surprise to find...
that, my having neglected to list one of HIS poems, HE did so much mind.
...

Section B this month contains only 3 poems NOW; it's true,
BUT If I take the time, it will soon have more than a few.
Why, I don't even have one of mine (me, Bri) in 'B' yet.
But I have poems waiting for 'C', so BUSY I need to get!
...

Section B this month is only half full; it's true,
BUT I've got some for C and LOTS more to ….do.
I've got to dig in my drawer and take out a big sock ….
to hang for Santa-goodies! Don't you, me, mock.
...

Paul and I are not sure if the flowers’ “eyes” are truly black or brown,
but, if we could, we’d use a bunch of them....to fashion you a gown.
Then no matter what month it was, or wherever you might be,
you and Paul could look at you, in your gorgeous gown, and happy you could be.
...

It seems as though it was at least a month ago a newborn pig
was 'lost'.
Correction: All 3 of pig triplets disappeared & Bharati, in her sleep, may have tossed.
They weren't born in India; they weren't her pigs at all, but she
...

Most of this introductory poem is not very new,
so it may sound very familiar to you & to YOU.
If 15 poems times 3 becomes too much of a chore …
for me to fulfill, I MAY limit Sections to 10, NO more.
...

Section B this month is but nearly half full; it's true,
BUT I've got some for 'C' ……and LOTS more to do.
I've got to grovel AND implore [yes, that means to beg] …..
for MORE poems to knock this display UP a peg!
...

As Section A is almost filled (it is NOT weak) ,
allow me to ink some words quite meek**.
[they won't be heard above a mouse squeak]
'Please, at this Section B, will you peek? ? '

Hi!

This evening my thoughts turn to my PH friends,
whose company I'm tempted to hope Never ends.
But hoping such is like hoping to repeat one's past.
As I've heard before: 'Nothing Ever Lasts ……..
