“A Sneaking Suspicion”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
A sneaking suspicion
a hidden treasure “Get it!”
like a strait-laced imagination
while no longer using a sippy cup, say
“Beating the heck out of me!”
actually, how apropos, it’s so apt
scraping out, going astray
along with a family name …
“Taken to the Max”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Taken to the max
at happy hour
“My head is pounding!”
“And, they’re off!”
like savings for old age, for short …
“Yielding”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Yielding deep purple fruit
repeating, “do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti do”
bidding a grand, “ Hello-o-o-o!”
“Tossing Turning”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Tossing and turning
“Who me?”
“Oh, I’m so relieved!”
“Easy there!”

from a long long nap …
“Oh Balderdash”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Oh balderdash
claptrap
nonsense

flap doodle
wack
dribble
phooey hooey
flatter effusively
just too too …
“Morale Boosters”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Morale boosters
taking an inventory
of the high points for short
like push ups informally
as something to aim for
calling, “Bottoms up!”
chin up just for fun …
“A Sharp Bend”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
A sharp bend a tipping point
heaping praise versus the worst, in slang
feeling afraid to commit, say
being taken for a ride, in a way
while screaming, “Me! Pick me!” …
“Remaining to Be Seen”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Remaining
to be seen
got the picture
like insight
from an insider
as proud loyal types
on the fly …
“After Whom?”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
After whom throughout the universe
used as food for thought
caught off guard into the future
asking, “Who dat?” and “Who dey?”
named for a Sasquatch as a mascot
riding bare back to the tanners
along with Dennis the Menace
as his loyal companion traveling side saddle …
