Stevie Taite Poems

A quiet side street
I guide your feet

'This is not the way'
You playfully say
...

Behind blurry, foggy windows
My 'wake up' words sit and wait.....
'Poetry..... Poetry'
(A reached for, flattened cuboid shape)
...

I stole a splinter from your heart.
For being numb,
you barely noticed
So I took as well
...

Work here has been slow of late
I'm a fair weather recluse
The other hand bag 'hang outs'
get an awful lot more use
...

My mother
Once was 
The centre
On my circle maker 
...

'I' before  'e' except after 'c'
Im afraid that rule wasn't  helpful to me!

I'm deficient at spelling and find it absurd
The incomprehensible weirdness of words
...

Have you ever sniggered so much
that a snot bubble came out

Have you creased  up
...

Behold the flower of the waterlily 
The pretty pretty flower
Below the surface is a long long stem
That from deep, floats the flower high
...

If you cast and catch a poem
Set it free, enjoy it flowing
Stretch it, streamlined in the brine
Either with or without rhyme
...

It is an affliction I suffer,  
to see only the good in people around me. 
Does it make me sick?
...
