The Poetry of Brian Paris

Week 9, Day 60 – "It Can, You Can"

It Can, You Can

I didn’t know that it could get this hot.
It can.

I didn’t know that you could be this cold.
You can.

Week 9, Day 59 – "Judgment Day"

Judgment Day

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Come down to the Big Top Arena
For a time you won’t soon forget!
It’ll be like nothing ever seen before.
Truly a world shaking event.

Be There!

Week 9, Day 58 – "Love you, Miss Cookie"

Love you, Miss Cookie

Boom, Boom, Snickerdoodle
you’re such an angel
dazzled with glitter
and cinnamon and sugar
I’ll buy you some bling,
if you show me your bing
cherry covered in chocolate
what a state, what a state, what a state to start a date.

Week 8, Day 56 – "Fire"

Fire

We live around fires
come together every night
and the fire tells stories
stories about the days events

Week 8, Day 55 – "Dance"

Dance

dawn dancing
glowing day starter
a new life
sun rises, begin

Week 8, Day 54 – "Vampire"

Vampire

some folks suck blood
drain your life, your youth, your love
fulfilling their own needs
with the strength of others

Week 8, Day 53 – "Weekender"

Weekender

a three-card monte drinking bender
finally at home broke from a long weekender
lasting memories if I could only remember
maybe it’s best to forget

Week 8, Day 52 – "Shuffle Up and Deal"

Shuffle Up and Deal

go fish, says the snotty bitch,
she must have marked my cards
cheating ain’t cool, didn’t you learn that in school
i’m gonna have ta teach ya a new lesson

Week 8, Day 51 – "Hard Day"

Hard Day

Sweet
Sweet
Salty
Sweat.

Week 8, Day 50 – "Mystery"

Mystery

don’t know who did it
I know it was one of you
please give it back and all will be forgiven,
(you fucking bastard)
