RENEE’ DRUMMOND-BROWN

DEAR JOHN

Dear John,
I hope
this poem
finds you
in the best of health.
I love you
BUT…
I found
someone else.

He’s actually
your best friend
and
my babies’
dad.
I promise you though,
he
did-not
destroy
what you and I
once had.

I just grew tired
of you
being away
so
very long.
One thing led
to another;
felt so right
an’ yet
so wrong.
We tried to tell you
before
you left
for war.
But then
like the Temptations
we both thought
another
mind war;
hmm~~~
what is it good for?

So,
as stated before,
I love you,
BUT…
I found someone else~~~
that I
just
absolutely
adore.


Dear Jody,
Oh,
no one
must’ve
told you,
an’ you still
don’t know?
I married
your
best friend
LONG; LONG
LOOOOONG
before
I left home.

She gets
‘YOUR’
allotments,
medical coverage,
social security
and
my pension too.
We’re on an island
(military base)
‘laughin’
our butts off;
bout
how
WE BOTH
PLAYED YOU!

Hey Jody,
How’s them projects;
I left you in?
All them mixed babies?
The welfare checks
and my drug dealing
best friend?

Sorry sister girl,
you got played in the end.
See you,
when we come home
with
our
son,
daughter,
dog
and
Mercedes Benz.
Love John,
Your ex-lover and best friend.
Dedicated to: Oorah~~~Semper Fidelis~~~You ‘gotta’ pay to play ‘wit’ a few good men!!!

CAN I HAVE ‘SUM’?

Root Beer and Moon pies hide.
Is obvious chocolate on the outside.
Swing low, sweet ‘shugga’ ‘iz’ within
Mommy ‘SNEAKS’ rattling paper at night.
But I hear her; I’m listening!
Can I have ‘sum’; ‘outta’ sight?
Can’t have ‘NOTHIN’ to ‘MY’ ‘SELF’!!!
Mommy waited all day for night.
Here I come; disappointing, her bite.
Dedicated: Root Beer and Moon Pies go together minus the ‘kidz’!!!

‘TALKIN’ HEAD(S)

Her head screws on an’ off.
You’re out of her head man.
Once strung out; its your loss.
She’s so vain; he’s so lost???
Dedicated:  THIS POEM AIN’T ‘BOUT’ YOU!!!

AN ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

A pink elephant in the room.
Is obviously present, nonetheless metaphorically doomed.
An issue none wants to discuss.
A challenge beyond what appears true.
Dedicated: To be or not to be is the question an elephant in the room would ask of thee?






CITATION

I’ll write a poem for you;
You write a poem for me.
Back to back; quotations extract ‘summadat’
‘BUTT’ remember to cite thee; PLEASE.
Illustrations’ mention references; citation is key.
I’ll write a poem for you;
You write a poem for me.
Son of citation will allow thee,
to be or not to be;
“A BAD Poem” if you please.

  1. It didn't take me long to get through your "easy flowing" INK, Poetess Renee! I love "Dear John"! Blown away with the ironic "other half" of the poem. You're talent is real blood and guts stories that leave the reader wanting more! Your Poet Sister, Barbara Suen.
