The Aftermath of Waking Up To Soon!
Breaking News!
This now in …
Raccoons| return| to Alameda|
after two years
You’ll recall two years ago raccoons were
Wreaking havoc on the local dog park|
and the citizens of Alameda
A woman was attacked while walking her dog; and
others were chased by raccoons
the citizens of Alameda were up in arms; after extensive
media coverage
the aggressive black masked bandits
mysteriously disappeared
This morning a raccoon|
was spotted by two children on their
way to school
the names of these children
will not be disclosed
from now on both children will
be known as Child 1 and Child 2
Child 1 reported
While waiting for the bus he spotted
the clamoring marauder
running up the sidewalk
About 20 feet away
Child No. 1 then spotted Child No. 2
Standing on the sidewalk looking towards
The raccoon seemingly stunned
Standing in the path of the raccoon
The first child motioned in a circular motion
To the second child to run across the street with him
The raccoon stopped for a moment
As if understanding the signal to run; and
at first the boys thought
a chase ensued; but
After safely making it across the street
They watched the rogue
time-impaired raccoon
Leave the scene
Who’s to blame
This roving reporter
Thinks the sanitation department ‘s
New schedule for noisy garbage pick-up in the dark
Might have caused the mix-up of the raccoon’s
inner clock; that and the smell of ripe garbage
There may be more on this story later …

Lorraine Currelley, poet, writer, nurturer and founder of Poets Network & Exchange[/caption]If you enjoy poetry and all things literary then On-Line Classic Open Mic Poetry hosted by Poet Andrew Scott is the radio program for you. Tonight January 25, 2013 I was a guest along with a mosaic of talented poets, writers and lovers of the written word. I read from Janet Stickmon’s book “Midnight Peaches, Two O’clock Patience” and “Full Breasted Women” a poem written by yours truly. This was a lovely end to a wonderful week of readings and sharing poetry.
Some of these readings included, Spoken Word, at the New York Public Library‘s Soundview Branch, Open Expression in Harlem, hosted by CeCe Falls and Women Writer’s in Bloom Poetry Salon.

Phantom Lovers| – Tales in Modern Times|
Close my eyes
Feel the pillows surround my body
Imagination always brings you to me
As I drift gently off to sleep
I imagine the feel of your strong arms around me
Soft gentle kisses reassuring me that tomorrow will come
I reach over and touch you; feel you harden at my touch
The sparkle in my eyes tells you I’m not ready for sleep
Unless you are; my hands feeling my body for now are yours
Delightful climax brings me to slumber; and
Dream of the day I will meet my nighttime phantom lover

I Have a Dream|
To Martin Luther King, Jr|
We have come so far
But we have not yet come far enough
So much has changed since your speech
Yet so much remains the same
I Have a Dream
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
Will have true meaning and no longer be denied
I am waiting for the day
When we are all truly treated equal
Our gender, sexual orientation and
the color of our skin will bear no bias;
racial; gender and sexual orientation profiling will finally end;
A black man can run out of a store
Without raising thoughts of suspicion
No one will ever be stopped walking down the street
and forced to show proof that they are indeed an American citizen
Parents will not be separated from their children and deported
No one will be looked at as a terrorist
Because of certain facial features they were born with
Instead we will all blend in
No one will feel the need to propagate fear
And purposely under-educate our children
Any and all weapons will be archaic
Forgotten like the history lessons of the past
Which are now being recorded as untrue; tainted with hypocrisy and hate
Communication and love will unite us and keep us together
And the question in every child’s mind will be
What was the purpose of violence and war
Our brothers and sisters will no longer have to live on the streets
Frightened, hungry, unbathed, sick, alone; and
No single parent family will ever have to ration food again; or
Wonder where the next meal will come from;
Nor forfeit buying their child a warm jacket; clothes that fit; or
Replace a pair of duct taped shoes to pay the rent
A time when insurance companies; corporate greed and money
No longer are the ruling class; the people’s voice is finally heard
I have a dream that people will evolve and learn from the painful
mistakes of the past
Religious differences will finally be resolved as kindness will replace religion
I have a dream one day together we will occupy humanity; and
Forever after be known as one people; humankind

Trite
Cliched
No one wants to suffer
It’s cruel to keep turning
the bed of nails one half turn
It’s difficult to bear continuous suffering
Stop the torture
Before it’s too late
S-n-a-p!!
The indomitable spirit can and will break
What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker
Stretched too thin
Worn out
Deflate
