Hee Hee Hee or Scrawling Your Dreams Onto the Back of a Shopping List Notepad

Hey y'all.
Here is a poem I wrote on March 16 of this year (2009). I hope you like it. I hope to contribute more poems and writings.

Hee, Hee, Hee

Or Scrawling Your Dreams Onto the Back of a Shopping List Notepad
By Alice
volunteer and writing teacher, Club Speakeasy


Unrequited Dreams
Unrequited Lust
Dreams falling into sallow pit of
Squash, bed, ugly neighborhood
Missing someone so much
Their absence is spiky to you
Dreams, Love, Money
Keep Your Feet on the Ground, and Keep Reaching For The Stars
Casey Kasem screwed me over
What is to be
of the College Girl who wanted
to be free
While the rest of the world
said Hee hee hee
What is to be
of Me
Where is your Place
If you do not slatheringly seek Money with Haste
Is it the Nine to Five
that keeps you Alive
or is that Jive
Want to be Free
Want to be Me


Please, do not copy.

  1. Both you and me, gurl. Thanks for the post - such a universal feeling of loneliness and yearning!
