Bri Edwards Poems

In my heart/mind are fond memories of snakes and frogs,
which I might find at pond edges, in grass, or on top of logs.
In my youth I was no real fan of either household dogs or cats.
I'd prefer wild animals to catch, or just view, perhaps even big rats.
...

Some superstitiously think that 'Friday The 13th' is their 'unlucky day',
which can bring to them bad luck. But, for me, I say 'for sure no way! '.
You see, my dear wife and I have worked out how to avoid most of 'it',
....by taking separate vacations on 'that day', during which I mostly do sit.

What do I have to look forward to the rest of my fine life?

Some human-types I do despise, though some people over them do fawn.

The first that comes to mind is the “no-hands” bicycle-rider.
...

Now that I've typed 2019, I'll concentrate,
to, this New Year's showcase, consecrate …
to the "divine purpose" of entertaining you,
with dozens of poems, or ….at least a few,
...

POEM WRITING CONTEST:

In these days of rapidly-spreading same-sex marriages,
when same-sex partners even push baby carriages,
it can be an advantage for a man to have a name like Sue,
BECAUSE if he loves another guy, and they decide to say 'I do', ……
...

Outside my window a big cat sat,
a big, FAT, cat without any hat.
Its fur was white and really quite long.
Nights she would serenade me with a song.
