Bridgid Patrick Poems

Just a line to say I'm living,
that I'm not among the dead,
though I'm getting more forgetful
and mixed up in the head.
...

I dreamed a dream in bed last night,
Of places most bizarre.
Of ponds of liquid lemon pie,
And ducks that played guitar.
...

I once believed
in fairy tales.
That love was true
and never failed.
...

Dear Lord, we ask you if you will,
put your blessing on this meal.
We ask you Father, if it pleases,
protect us from these new diseases.
...

Good morning! Thanks for calling us!
We're pleased to hear from you!
Your call's important to us
So we've placed you in a queue.
...

BEWARE! ! Lest ye should incur my wrath!
'Tis dangerous now, seek not that path
For on this day I have been scorned
And you, my fellows, have been warned
...

She whispered 'will it hurt me? '
'Of course not' answered he
'It's a very simple process,
You can rely on me.'
...

Once together, now apart
One still with a broken heart.
One saying it will never be;
The other fighting reality.
...

I guess it’s all over. Our marriage has failed.
I’m sorry I’m not what you thought you had nailed.
No need to get dirty in times of divorce,
You say you want everything; Baby! Of course!
...

My outstretched arms surpass the point
Of normal, taxing every joint
By reaching, gasping, pulling in
The cloistered thoughts that lie within.
...
