A Tragedy
Theodore Marzials
Death!
Plop.
The barges down in the river flop.
Flop, plop.
Above, beneath.
From the slimy branches the grey drips drop,
As they scraggle black on the thin grey sky,
Where the black cloud rack-hackles drizzle and fly
To the oozy waters, that lounge and flop
On the black scrag piles, where the loose cords plop,
As the raw wind whines in the thin tree-top.
Plop, plop.
And scudding by
The boatmen call out hoy! and hey!
All is running water and sky,
And my head shrieks -- "Stop,"
And my heart shrieks -- "Die."
My thought is running out of my head;
My love is running out of my heart,
My soul runs after, and leaves me as dead,
For my life runs after to catch them -- and fled
They all are every one! -- and I stand, and start,
At the water that oozes up, plop and plop,
On the barges that flop
And dizzy me dead.
I might reel and drop.
Plop.
Dead.
And the shrill wind whines in the thin tree-top
Flop, plop.
A curse on him.
Ugh! yet I knew -- I knew --
If a woman is false can a friend be true?
It was only a lie from beginning to end --
My Devil -- My "Friend"
I had trusted the whole of my living to!
Ugh; and I knew!
Ugh!
So what do I care,
And my head is empty as air --
I can do,
I can dare,
(Plop, plop
The barges flop
Drip drop.)
I can dare! I can dare!
And let myself all run away with my head
And stop.
Drop.
Dead.
Plop, flop.
Plop.

Playful Sonnet
Walter Newboldt
Zippidi
dooda!
I am in a happy mood-a...
Happy, poppy!
No more mr. mopey!
Even if my lips are dry
and a second ago -pah!- I swallowed a damn fly
and my breakfast was apple rind - no lie!
I am still full of depth and hope-y!
Red birds on my ledge vast are chirping
and the park trees are flapping,
Hot odd breeze appeared -
Ah, not far but near!
So what a great day!
That sickness, harm 'n froth dried away
Victory.com! things are OK
Fiddle diddle
The problems so little,
hey!
Pitchers of beer,
The wife is here..
God, now nothing is unclear!!!
Ohhhhh,that time to be lazy,
Wife at the store shopping like crazy!!
Flowers ablaze-ee,
puppy eats a daisy, -
Happy from A->Z!
We're lucky
nothing atall today is sucky!
or mucky.
Worms burrow, trees and plants growing,
Happy handy thrills flowing,
yo ho skipper, all easygoing!
And my uncle paul
Is happy also and tall.
hundreds of Children play,
OK,
make me a souffle!
Man, thou needeth that chocolate heaven,
down at the seven-
eleven!
Dont end it all, roommate friend,
things'll mend,
The end!
then...(d)
Zippidi

Be cheerful dude, ahhhh!

Don't concern - pretend!
the constant struggle is sad,
And, well, bad,
So try glad, brad!
The world U R fine,
perfect tomorrow, divine!
triumphs! Nothing is not lacking sunshine!!
