Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
No external tokens of self required
can't see the omen
for the Romans these sad days
a historical
drug resistant infection
gnawing on society
Medicinal health
Hawked ad nauseum over
TikTok YouTube X
no external woo
omen or token of self
required for health
unless a talisman should
turnip under a pebble
Saucer reflections
Like pansy petals reveal
An alien face
On the prowl for more subjects
Suitable for abduction
Interstellar grail
The frisbee flying saucer
Is headed our way
In the here and now
Maliciousness on the prowl
In crappy cosplay
Riffle sidewalk leaves on barren tree lined streets for October night prowl
My how you have grown
She said with a breathy moan
Eye flutter koan
don't you just hate it
when past becomes now too soon
leaves no future room
I committed too
soon to commitment in a
noncommittal way
Water and feed it
Dark money, fear, and hatred
Now you see what sprouts
What drives a life force
Once on the trail of the snail
All other things pale
it was in the past
when snail sprouts wings to take flight
to future too soon
she would kite a check
with glee then flee leaving me
there holding the bag
Republican ploy
Prehensile pickpocketing
Bribes so they can flee
Candidates practice
Prehensile pickpocketing
To buy elections
melancholia
of departure is the fuel
for my need to flee
No flighty Pixie
More a variety of
bone crush Brunhilde
Déjà all over again
Risk versus rewards
Calculation
Irrational exuberance
Unreasonable expectations
Inflate
A bubble to bursting
Resounding pop resulting
Repercussions
Echoes in a regulatory void
Clipping aspirational wings
Again
Where there is confusion
There's money to be made
For sum
Little risk of a
spontaneous incursion
in this haiku form
so I made it a tanka
To fit verbose verbiage
a flurry of wings
flapping with blood soaked fury
bringing home the wreaths
asymptomatic
maladies multiply with
every ad I see
highly unlikely
we'll all look back on this time
and have a good #laugh
the last showing of
the last show has been cancelled
due to faux outrage
Unpleasant at best
Has a mean streak a mile long
Rise of the dumb state
when we try to stand
seems like some rich pukes want to
make us kneel and beg
for the honor of paying
them for the trash they're selling
I lift myself up
Defrag my brain with haiku
Stand what comes my way
they say in person
he has his charm, but only
if you stand up wind
For years Red believed
Wandered on the wilderness
A seekers mission
The goal he was sold
The elusive spondulix
Prosperity gold
Then Red realized
All that glitters ain't gold, so
Red leaves pilgramage
a long spelling trek
spell pilgrimage correctly
stumbles on the way
Abundance above
Dammed by greed to overflow
Trickle dance below
Recreating a 1970's Saturday night
Having pizza and Heineken
Left me as foggy this morning
As the wildfire smoke outside
Smells like 1980's Los Angeles air
If it wasn't for misperception
I'd have no perception at all
the ideal plum
for me is downloaded in
wrinkly prune format
With a great big yawn
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Is it nap time yet?
allegiance to a
floating crap game with loaded
dice and marked cards
will not a patriot make
floating crap game played
with loaded dice while dealing
out marked poker cards
not an easy allegiance
for a patriot to make
Where money is charged
Profiteers keep opaque what
Species go extinct
Phrazez that Payzez
I guess I was just born
A little bit out of control - Dave Allen
It's the gardeners choice
On the type of garden grown
If peace or strife's sown
his nibs huffed and puffed
bluster, blather, has no doubt
then caught in lies (sigh)
Guru Guru plays
funk on smoky car's eight track
loud Banana Flip
With a great big sigh
Guru Gummy found his zen
"Transcend this garden."
Penetration tool
A drill can build or destroy
Favorite weapon as
slasher film backup or for
environmental rapists
Senator Slug fell in line
To kiss the befouled ring
To follow the slimy trails
Left by lobbiest #Nudibranch
Money, power, social bling
Gold encrusted shells
Now hunker on the back bench
Like big ol' nasty snails
Chick Diakon played by
Bud Abbott when he and Lou
Met with Frankenstein
Words that land fallow
Often come from a callow
Self centered fellow
