Side by Side

May 20, 2009 by Louise

Both the up and down
Escalators glide downwards
Like a waterfall

High Tech

May 14, 2009 by Louise

Staple remover
Sophisticated machine
Need a manual?

Where I Lay My Head

May 13, 2009 by Louise

You’re not a pillow
But I’m treating you like one
Drool on your shoulder

Biding

May 6, 2009 by Louise

Can I be patient?
Eventually even
A mountain erodes

Screen

May 4, 2009 by Louise

When you open the
Door into your heart you risk
Letting the bugs in

What a Deal!

May 2, 2009 by Louise

The prix fixe menu:
Pay twenty-five dollars for
Three courses of hate

The Symbol

April 24, 2009 by Louise

Kill the computer!
but rage picks the wrong target:
Destroys monitor

The Uneaten

April 15, 2009 by Louise

Today’s noble deed:
I’ll sacrifice my stomach
On your leftovers

In The Club II

April 2, 2009 by Louise

Much like a goldfish
He forgot I turned him down
His last swim around

In The Club

March 31, 2009 by Louise

They circle like sharks
Being unattached is the
Blood on the dancefloor

Sour

March 24, 2009 by Louise

I’m a vinegar
Coleslaw girl living in a
Creamy coleslaw world

Bruise

October 27, 2008 by Louise

My black eye changes
Colours like leaves in the fall
A seasonal face

Regeneration

October 12, 2008 by Louise

Did you know that a
Halved twenty will make two bills
Just like a cut worm

Mid-Wash

September 21, 2008 by Louise

Is it smoke or steam?
My fire alarm doesn’t care
Fun in the shower

Whining

September 9, 2008 by Louise

My fire alarm
Cries crocodile tears during
My oven’s pre-heat

Receiver

September 6, 2008 by Louise

I wish to be a
Radio tuned only
To your frequency

The Arena

August 31, 2008 by Louise

Doors open for brunch;
I’m a gladiator who
Awaits the lions

The Gamble

August 15, 2008 by Louise

Plucking the petals
He loves me, he loves me not
The flower is rigged

Billions

August 12, 2008 by Louise

I’m crazy for you
It’s a good thing that I’m sane
For everyone else

Inclimate

August 10, 2008 by Louise

I curse the weather
Were I at all sweet I’d melt
In all of this rain
