"To grandmother's house we go"

submitted by Smedleys_Butler to poetry 5 monthsDec 21, 2024 09:45:43 ago (+9/-0)     (poetry)

Over the barrel
And through the smoke
To grandmother's house we go
Stay a few days
To clean out my veins
Like that week I lost job and a home

Over the bottles
And through the weeds
To grandmother's house we go
The same trailer park
That my parents are
I'll stay there sometimes but I'm grown

Over the throughways
And through with hangovers
To grandmother's house we go
We pick up my cousin
To get his Suboxone
True family prevents getting stoned

Over off season
Through with lack of work
To grandmother's house we go
Trouble with documents
At government offices
Merry Christmas, i hope you get blown

Over the binging
And through till the itch
To grandmother's house we go
Sick of sublimation
And self-isolation
I'm tired of being alone

Over the whiskey
And through with the beer
To grandmother's house we go
And if I get panic
My mom will have Xanax
And grandma can pray for my soul

I'm thinking about sharing your masterpiece with friends and family on Christmas Eve.....or not.

Lol. This one is two years old. I'm much more sober now, and honestly sumerbreezes new poem is much better

Haiku much better
It has logic and structure
Sweet linear flow

Applying logic to the mystic experience is a task that only looks easy, but well done pops
