Josehf Murchison Poems

What are cats and dogs good for?
To eat the chips that fall on the floor.
The ones we do not eat anymore.
Is that what cats and dogs are for?

Missing


I'm not being nosey,

In Life

In childhood you're playful.
In youth you are lustful.
...

Pet me pet me you know where,
upon my back, stroke my hair.
If you don't I'll give you a stare,
pet me pet me you know where.
...

Lost in time, this story is told,
about a woman, dark and bold.
She walks the streets on a fogy night,
with a hood on her head to hide from sight.
...

Jane Doe, number one four two.
What is your name, what did you do?
Were you a sister a banker or whore?
We want to know what you did before.
...

Smitten, battered, beaten, torn,
to this spell, I am sworn.
To strike thee down on this day,
and with thy soul yea shale pay.
...

Deep upon the river dreary,
thoughts within a mind so weary.
Screaming cries to a tortured soul,
miseries sorrow takes its toll.
...

Beneath the covers he did lie.
With his head covered he did cry.
He begged the lord to let him die.
As tears would fall from his eye.
...

A noise from my childhood, well I don't know,
a bird, a sparrow, ‘twas so long ago.
A carp when it splashes spawning in the lake.
The roar of a lawnmower, or the swish of a rake.
...
