And All I Could Do Was... Poem by Dónall Dempsey

And All I Could Do Was...

Rating: 5.0


You had the most amazing
pubic hair
either there was none there
or
if it was...then it was

shaved into
an exclamation point!
...or a question mark?

Or like
buried treasure
an X
marked the spot!

“Oh arrgh…I really have to admire your
punctuation dear! ”
Or it could be
shaped or colored.

Sometimes the Stars & Stripes
or a Union Jack
or especially for me
an Irish tricolor

leaving me
standing to attention
I saluting your imagination!

Or my favorite
a very realistic Sheila Na Gig
how…tautological!

You so creative
(in so surprising ways)
I felt so
drab beside your
flying flags & perfectly precise punctuation

not to mention
your rings & things
(oh the tinkle of that little bell)
& tattooed snakes
squirming into...

& sunbursts exploding out of
your private parts
(there’s that little bell again) .
I was such a
grey area

but you said you didn’t mind
(you fell in love
with the kindness of my mind
& that I was
all heart)

& if it came to
Pubic Art
you had enough
for two
& all I could do
was agree with you!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Gina Pisapia 22 October 2007

Very...how you say...funny and droll! Bit of a prude so the content is a bit of a putoff for me but I can still see how loving the poem is. I like it for what it is and how you...ah... handle it but I'm just not into poems about pubic hair! Although come to think of it I do like Donne's poem about the flea! So I'll give you this by the skin of my teeth. I tend to like your more tender romantic poems than ones that speak of 'country matters.' love Gina of the Pisapias (as you would put it)
