Poetry by Cher-The Loom

The Loom

The shuttle of her loom Thuds dully against the rug,

being woven, from the rags, Tags of other peoples lives.

I watched her in the cellar, with shadows whispering in the corners.

She seemed ancient to me, even then.

The fingers bent, the breasts sagging.

Myself wrapped in the coccoon of her quiet whistling.

The shuttle thuds

Over the days and years of my adolescence.

Surely youth: So sure, so independant.

She weaves the rug from the rags Tags of other peoples lives.

And the foreign woman, with the tooth-gold-capped,

and Loblaw's shopping bag Full of tatters.

Arrives too late for her four dollar rug.

The loom-dismantled, Bound, sold.

Another time-gone.

POETRY BY CHER-THE FUNNY MAN

The Funny Man
To the Memory of John Ritter

Into my home, day after day

Into my heart he came to play

I laughed out loud at that man on t.v.

I cried many times cause he touched me

Year after year, like many

I watched him fall and pick himself up again

He prevailed over so much

He had a magic touch

He died today on September 11 2003

John Ritter was his name, and this hurts me

A great talent is gone, a kind man at that

I sympathize with his family

I hope they know, how many

Lives were touched by this wonderful man

I cry, I sob, I'll miss you

Signed,

a fan

Poetry by Cher-Memories

Memories

As the years wear on, I sink into myself wondering if

I'll ever know What made me sick so long

I take the pills

I see the doctors

I suffer the pain

I hear the shrills

How was I to know what lurked in my mind

Not knowing was hurting, But to know, well

Did I want to?

Filing through my memories was scary to say the least

What I was to find was not fit for man nor beast

Infact it was a man in my past

I was to see

This man was there, when I was young,

and hewas hurting me

Now I take the pills

And hope to be much better

But there is no cure for

A baby girl who is hurt forever
