Cheryl Jacob Poems
I wondered where my friend wandered.
I looked everywhere but where I needed to.
In the world of lost and found,
She sat tapping her foot and twirling her hair.
...
I hate green peas.
My mama says they’re healthy.
That I’m to finish each and every pellet.
I’m to lick me plate clean.
...
Once a long time ago
I saw a man at one St Cloud's crossroads,
Near the Mississippi,
Standing on one foot with a hand in front,
...
Look at me,
I’m so fair.
Look at me Lord,
I even wear a robe of despair.
...
I’ve a blog that I don’t visit.
I’ve a love story half way through,
But I’ll end it later.
I’ve poems,
...
She’s the mastermind of masterminds.
She’s the sneakiest of the sneaks.
I know I can’t hide, she’s got my number.
She’s got the third and the fourth eye,
...
I sat on the balcony
Of a house on the canal.
I sat there and heard
The stream flowing by.
...
A present here,
A present there.
A hint of love,
A hint of smile...
...
Tangerine Betty
Who was blessed with a mind to behold;
Knew that she would not hold a man to her heart,
For she would dent a man’s wit.
...
Dear Mr Crocodile
Your lazy eyes belie those sharp claws.
Your comatose float hides those greedy eyes of yours.
Your pudgy feet make you look slow
...
There's a story behind this. Once a lad whose name when interpreted means Socrates, tried to win the affections of a girl only to scamper.
Socrates
...
This is for my nephew who one evening started singing 'quack quack'
The baby quacked us a quack,
...
My Shadow
In the game of light and dark
My shadow plays a game with me.
Sometimes it walks with me
...
The History Bandits swinging...
Swinging in History roll.
Up comes one leader,
Ousted or assassinated by another.
...
There was once a man named Silas
Who refused to hear the siren’s call.
Spurned by unrequited love,
The siren withered.
...
Waiting for me to start a conversation
Would be a rather long wait.
Waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom,
Would be a hope too soon.
...
There’s a mystery of that and this,
None of which I can crack.

The World Of Lost And Found
I wondered where my friend wandered.
I looked everywhere but where I needed to.
In the world of lost and found,
She sat tapping her foot and twirling her hair.
You’ve come at last!
What took you so long?
Did you forget about me or
Didn’t know that I wasn’t there only on one fine day?
I held my peace for I didn’t know the answer.
I shrugged and picked up from where I thought we’d left.
And it was a thing of past.
I pondered where I had squandered it all away.
The money that was earned with sweat,
Was spent like it flowed in a river.
My ponderings led me to the grounds of lost and found.
There it squatted like a discarded rag.
With accusing eyes, it seem to say-
You didn’t understand me but overarched your credit.
I warned and warned but you were deaf to it all;
So I stole away in the dead of the night,
Silently like the thief that I wasn’t.
And it was the waste that I found to my distaste.
I thought over where I had let it go,
But couldn’t find an answer.
Searched and searched but couldn’t find it hidden anywhere.
Stumbled on it by accident.
You’ve found me but too late.
I’ve been here in plain sight
But you lost all the right.
You didn’t consider me your-health, as your wealth;
And chose to let it wither away.
Was your vocation, pleasure and pressure worth my loss?
You didn’t care and neither did I, and so it was of no loss.
The world of lost and found
Harbours many things unfound.
One wonders where and how we’d lost them,
But the answers that we seek,
Are not found in the world of lost and found.
If you want the answers,
Then ask yourselves the right questions.
If you still have the false notions,
Then shed them fast or
Take the road to the world of lost and found...
... often.
