Fragmentary Shards of Past



Please excuse my total lack of posts as of late! I am trying to edit a cabinet full of poetry as I have realized it does me no good languishing on the shelf. Here are a few of the poem fragments I have run across to tide us over until I start writing new poems and essays again. -Megan the Wonder Bunny

Fragment- No Name

I know a man who has no nose

He likes to sense things with his toes

And although he thinks that no one knows

His prehensile tail still grows and grows

In point of fact, it ate his nose

Fragment-Clarice

What can I say about Clarice

She never let us down

She never left a bad taste in your mouth

She was a real lady

Clarice could make a man

Cry out for his mama

And never smear her lipstick

Fragment-BrainTune

My brain is tuned to a frequency other than mathematical

But the light from a distant sun still touches my face

Though I can’t measure how far

It has travelled

To reach me

The knowledge and the light

Are not dependent on each other

Fragment- NiceMice

Beer on ice

Is nice

For mice

In the pitter patter of an unlit kitchen

Leave them wine

And cheese

And rice

You needn’t tell them twice

Those mice

Fragment-OneEye

Closing one eye

I lose half the world

Is it my good eye

Or my bad eye

I’ve closed

Which half of the world

Am I seeing

Which half has disappeared

What have I lost

Denied

Pushed aside

Fragment-Teeth

I like to obsess over things

How bout you

I like to gnaw

Small, petty things

With my sharp, keen teeth

Til my lips bleed

And my tongue is lacerated

Don’t you

Fragment-Union

My soul went to a wedding

And caught the bouquet

Returned with these flowers

And asked to marry my mind

With my heart’s blessing

The union was approved

What a happy day

What a lucky bride

To walk through the world

United mind to soul
