Washing the floor

I am washing the floor with my tears

They cannot reach the towel

That I lay upon the tile

To remove the dirt of everyday life

I am washing the floor

And picking up the remnants of my children's day

Left over food and spilled milk

Which I try not to cry over

I try so hard not to cry

I am washing the floor

Hoping that tomorrow will give me a different face

That being alone isn't a sentence

And that I can endure this searing pain

Of washing the floor and straightening the house

For a love that never comes

I tuck in my babies and wipe down the kitchen

And turn off the lights and lay in my bed

And try to force myself into a deep, deep sleep

To deaden the pain and the loneliness

But each day comes calling like the dirt on my floor

Endlessly cleaning and always remaining

A woman washing her floor in the evening

my husband is the house floor washer - i wonder if he feels the same way!!!!

I'm feeling it, but as delivered by this guy...

This is the official poetry thread. Keep all of the poems here.

Doodle-

There once wa a very cautious man,
who never romped or played.
He never smoked, he never drank,
nor even kissed a maid.

And he passed away they say,
that insurance was denied;
for since he never never lived,
they claimed he never died.

......................................

There was once a man from Nantucket,
?

lol lol lol lol lol lol

your inciting me lololololol


um........................no
lol lol lol lol


lol lol lol lol

Roses are red, Violets are blue

i've already swiped it and it's slated for upload into my bucket too.
edited to keep it from being truncated.

smiley stealer!!!

and maggie i'd tell you but then i'd have to shoot you

Smoke'em if ya got'em.

I need to wash my floor this evening.

J

I have wall to walll carpet

how do you think i got all the ones i have?

I think yours is bigger Doodle.

You must be a smiley STEALER because it wanted a password from ME..that or I look too dangerous.

you should be able to just left click and choose "save as" with no problem. I don't think I have anything password protected since none of my pictures on photobucket are of a personal nature.

that looks like Sarah's old Hicham banana, with a 'fro!!

I like this.

Oh man I forgot about that banana! I better bring it back. Mine didn't have a blunt though, or whatever that is.

It's a FRO (afro) I tell you!!! Yes yours was just a plain banana, but if you use this one, Hicham will have color.

I think I must have missed something here but I actually liked this poem and the one in the infamous Red Flags thread.
Is wahrania considered one of the MENA outcasts or something?

Yes, I cemented that vibe inside my head with Doodlebugs suicide smilley. LOL

I will keep posting because I think their comments are funnier than the poems could ever be. Wife of Mahmoud is the most creative. Doodle just posts smileys. But look at Wife of Mahmouds clips and pictures and inferences. They are actually quite witty. Look at what she wrote for Spanish Leather. Its very funny... RICARDO MONTALBAN..LOLOLOLOL

apparently.

um......DUH.....................the smiley was because the poem is soooo depressing!

BUT...................I do think, as others have suggested, one single thread for poems would be better than bombing the whole mena area with them. That's not a criticism of the poems themselves it's just a suggestion that has been given about three times now.

And that list just keeps on growing.

My husband loves to take out the trash
Its almost as exciting as when he earns cash

It gives him time to ponder and think
about going back inside to unclog the kitchen sink

Some times he can even dare to dream
As he cleans my car and applies the leather cream

He even changes diapers with efficiency and ease
And lets me come and go as I please

All the while he is dreamin and wishin
That his american wife would clean the kitchen

Floors

yeah

lololololololol


outcasts or bad poems?

the list keeps growing of mena outcasts or bad poetry?

Cause the outcast list is pretty long.. I would have to go back through posts to compile it though LOL....

I wish I was

yes miss jackie may be a grandmom
but dayum she got it going on

Can anyone dig up something in archives? A VJ member wrote a poem "Ode to Nina" and it was to the NVC operator he talked to everyday. It was charming. I think it was several years ago tho.

Jackie
