My Friend Kim
by
Greg Pincus
My best friend is androgynous.
Goes by the name of Kim.
Clothes and style are meaningless...
I'll always care for her.
Or him!
Sometimes I wonder "huh. What age is that poem for?" This is is one of these times....

Sounds Like the End of a Friendship -- an onomatopoeia poem/a poem about sounds
SOUNDS LIKE THE END OF A FRIENDSHIP
by
Gregory K.
Onomatopoeia...
I wouldn’t want to be ya.
You bonk and bang.
You clack and clang.
You thwack and thunk.
You clop and clunk.
You burp and boom.
You zip and zoom.
You splat and splash.
You crack and crash.
It’s hard to have you hang around
When silence is my favorite sound.
Onomatopoeia...
So long now. I’ll see ya.
I'm posting an original poem each day in April in celebration of National Poetry Month. Links to this and other poems here on GottaBook (and I post all year round, because poetry is NOT just for April!) are collected over on the right of the blog under the headline "The Poems".

My Friend Michelle -- a friendship poem/a cartoon poem/a poem about a friend
MY FRIEND MICHELLE
by
Gregory K.
My friend Michelle is made of ink.
Her skin is green. Her teeth are pink.
Her right eye’s blue, her left’s maroon.
Yes, she’s a real, live girl cartoon.
When we go walking down the street,
I think we shock the folks we meet.
She always gets so much attention
Since she’s missing one dimension.
“I’m not so flat,” she likes to say,
“Although I know I’m drawn that way.”
Her friendship could not be replaced.
I hope she’ll never be erased.
While some folks keep their joy sedated,
Not Michelle, she’s animated.

My Friend Eileen -- a friendship poem and a food poem
MY FRIEND EILEEN
by
Gregory K.
My friend Eileen is made of food.
She’s always fresh and never chewed.
When we go walking down the street,
I think we shock the folks we meet.
Yes, lots of people stop and stare
And say “my word, that’s broccoli hair!”
It sits atop her apple head
With cherry eyes, so deep and red.
Her legs are herbs that grow in rows
She walks around on tater toes.
Her arms are crackers, great to munch.
She’d give you any part for lunch.
There’s nothing she won’t do for you --
Eileen is great... and tasty, too!
