Bri Edwards Poems

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
At least that is what my Ma used to say.
I’ve got no insurance, and I don’t work too hard,
BUT there are lots of apples.... in my Ma’s backyard.
...

I just grabbed a long-handled spoon.....
to scoop little pickles from a jar.
While looking at them swimming in jar's brine,
I had a thought I thought was bizarre.
...

My father had an ancestor in France....
who did clean-up after each beheading.
One gal's neck was too tough, and she lived.
Not long after was his and her wedding.
...

I suppose it’s been around for thousands of years:
‘inking’ pictures, designs, or words on skin...... from ankles to ears.
Hearts, and skulls, tigers, and snakes,
“MOM”, and swastikas........for goodness sakes!
...

I think ‘twas Nona, some food, Did Drop,
which onto dining room floor went "PLOP"!
Not discovered for quite a longgg while,
many a tiny ant, upon that food, did PILE ….,
...

Though frog she WAS, she caused headaches....
for old man Clyde …..and here are the 'beCAUSE(s) ':

Clyde pocketed the frog/princess, thought himself sly,
...

my inglish sucks thats for shur
eech day in english class was a blure
nowns an vurbs ….what are they
Id rather sooner go out side an play.

BRI: 'Thank you, Ms. Virus, for agreeing to this interview.
My TV audience would like answers coming from YOU.
May I call you just 'Covid'? I hope you don't mind.'
VIRUS: 'Bri, you may, and I hope, what you seek, you'll now find.'

Tiny Flaws …..


A tooth missing from my mouth, a tooth I didn't need.
...

It was past midmorning, time to expel 'yesterday's food'.
[ I'll not use a slang word for feces; that might be thought rude. ]
Finished in the bathroom, I turned on phone and internet.
I drank some water & returned to bed, not time to quit bed...yet.
