Bri Edwards Poems

In U.S.A., smoke alarms are wide-spread,
used, in case of fire, to stir you out of bed,
from the cozy comfort needed to restore …..
your body ‘and mind' for tomorrow's MORE …
...

Yes, I’m just TOO NICE, but I won’t “blow my own horn”.
It’s something that came naturally to me, ever since ……I was born.
Even BEFORE my birth, “niceness”, to me, did stick.
Why, not ONCE, when I was in the womb, did I, my mommy, kick!
...

There’s a northern creature to avoid,
who will bite you and keep you well-annoyed.
You may never see one in zoo or museum,
and that’s because it’s a “NO-see-‘em”.

But it wasn’t just random fanatic-fan strife,
since the ref first killed the fans’ player..... with a knife.
...

thinking to myself: "Bri, this is so insane!
I really don't need the ice cream this much,
even though it is SO YUMMY and it's my crutch …

Comfortably in my casket I was resting.
Then Tom Allport said: 'arise', [only jesting].
But, to Tom's, and Valsa's, and Stuart's surprise,
I jumped straight up three feet or more. I tell YOU no lies.
...

"What A Nice Life I Have" was, with Jez Brul, a 'hit'.
Now she wants a sequel.So today I'll write a BIT....
.....MORE.
Perhaps two** years of marriage has passed since what first....

I SMOOTH MY HAIR WITH MY TOOTHBRUSH.

My name is Brian and my only child, Shannon, I love.

July's showcase is done. It's finished, but not ‘forgot'.
Many of you generously filled at least …one poem slot,
and some filled two, the limit I've put in place for now.
It's nearly August, so ……into August let's now plow.
