What Good Is A Poem



I have a poem...

But no one to offer it to...

What good is a poem...

If no one wants to hear it...


I have a song...

But no one is listening...

What good is a song...

If no one wants to sing it...


I have a joke...

But no one to tell it to...

What good is a joke...

If no wants to laugh at it...


I’ve got a heart...

But no one to share it with...

What good is a heart...

If no one wants to love me back...


I’ve got a soul...

But no one who understands...

What good is a soul...

If no one wants me in their life...

A Pussy Seance

Image
Three precocious pussies... Engaged in a séance one stormy night... Upon hearing some loud angry hisses... They scampering off in scaredy-cat fright...  Connecting with their many lost lives... In what became a ouija obsession... These three precocious little tabbies... Fell into a demonic possession... When felines play with necromancy... Then they should always beware... Playing with a dead pussy... Can give one quite the scare... ©  2021 Jeffrey Pipes Guice

A City of Squalor

Image
I once loved my beautiful New Orleans… The city that care forgot… But today it’s like a frickin trashcan… With politicians that simply care not… They no longer pick up the garbage… As no one seems to care… I try to get my new neighbors to help out… But no one wants to do their share… It’s seems like people are happy… Living like fat pigs in a dirty pen… The local residents keep telling their children… Move away and don’t return again… The restaurants and bars are all closing… The tourists are nowhere to been seen… The crime rates are shooting through the roof… The entire city is no longer clean… We have no one to blame but ourselves… For electing politicians who feed at the trough… When we beg them to listen to our worries… They smile and give us the blow off… When we elect the dregs of society… Politicians with no skin in the game… It’s too bad New Orleans is dying… A slow death for those who remain… © 2021 Jeffrey Pipes Guice

Isolanity

In isolation There is less pain… So alone I try to remain… The more I try to explain… I soon realize my thoughts are so insane… But there’s no reason to complain… Reaching out I’ll just try to refrain… © 2021 Jeffrey Pipes Guice
