Spinster

Contributed by flavellm on Saturday, 13th July 2013 @ 11:49:48 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

Oposite my house
resides a half-insane spinster
usually dressed in all manner
of obsolete fashions, and usually
tending to her uninspiring garden.
We all chuckle at the sellotape
pinning down her letterbox.

Tonight walking by
I caught her eyes indis-
tinctly and evaluated her
lumpy and ungainly form,
pacing impatiently in front of
her terrace flicking cigar-
ette ash all over her slippers.
Raising her voice I think to call
for her absent cats to return home
her slurs and shrill vowels
bounded all over the towns roofs
and streamed inside open windows.
None had returned when she
slipped back inside.
Clearly they're as disobedient as her children,
prefering her neighbours attention
and better branded milk.

Loafing around the house enjoying
the last dregs of day, listlessly watching
dull television. I grab my cigarettes and
stretch my legs in my back garden
admiring the play of light and shade
my movements unfurled a cat sunbathing
on a slab, now he's walking tenderley atop a fence.
Ruffling my hair in the runaway sun
with a keen wind whipping my skin.
My thoughts turn to pretentious sludge
and I consider how the smallest blos-
som proves death doesn't exist.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
