Lamar Cole Poems

He woke up in the morning wanting fresh breath and all.
He grabbed a bottle thinking it was Listerine.
But it turned out to be Pine-Sol.
He gargled and he did it well.

When his electric wheelchair lost power.
He was hit by a car going too fast.
He felt like he had been hit by a dynamite blast.
...

Stars shine from the heavens.
Snow blows off the mountains.
All gifts from God.

Their love was sunlight entering a room.
Their love was a brand new romantic song.
Their love was everything right and nothing wrong.

When upon her hand landed a butterfly.
It was as beautiful as can be.

His wife was embarrassed when he began snoring.
His wife elbowed him in his side.

When she said that he was like a donut.
He thought that she felt that he was sweet.
And that he had a nice smell.
But she really meant that he had a hole in the head.
...

He was on the river fishing and drinking Bud.
When his boat hit something with a loud thud.
It turned out to be a dead body.
A great day turned bad.
...

She could feel joy watching leaves blowing in the breeze.
She could feel joy watching birds chirping in the trees.
She could feel joy watching the river flow.
She could feel joy seeing the clouds put on a show.
