The Daily Dread



a shovel and wand
will unearth the unearthly
granfalloon woo woo
to spoon feed clueless creepers
from a bony cosplay claw



our decrepitude
ruthless rancid and randy
offends all senses
waddling around the world
worst of us on full display



Rancid Fox allusions served up on moldy Republican platitudes



ease out of the deep
covered in rancid seaweed
compressed in white rice
the chicken of the sea waits
to be choked down wet and raw

The Daily Dread



Once upon a time
Dreamed the American Dream
Thought we had it all
But at the end of the line
Found the American Scheme

hanging by a thread
of their own self spun petard
silkworm takes the fall


There's many a shrine
Where the altar alter verse
Suborn the faithful
With beads, trinkets, and icons
Spun from whole cloth fantasies




cherished her as a
deluxe vintage vehicle
little slow to start
needed extra attention
but once running she would purr




fallen loose larva
seductive silkworm spinning
deluxe silk for all
who homage her fabric shrine
with many precious shekels

The Daily Dread



Sheets warm from the first
As the second slipped between
Spent and left drowsy
Crept off for liaison three
He was quite the libertine


blood toil tears and sweat
through the haze of history
a zero sum bet
the hoi polloi ante up
aristocrats take the skim



Every other stride brings my bane in a purple haze of pain



Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
makes my eyes all misty with
franchise memories



libertine geese fly
off into the misty gray
instinct driven haze

Choo Choo Mama: Roll the dice my little cupcake and I’ll recite a poem for you. If it comes up snake eyes you can give the poem a critique. But if it comes up with boxcars, I guess I’ll just have to murder you. That’s how my literary train rolls.

The Daily Dread



When the cuddles start
to curdle it's ghost time for
Ash or for Ashley


the things from the past
that would make my blood curdle
now part of the game


poking the ash heap
of yesterdays smoldering
discontent bonfire
bound to ignite another
self-righteous conflagration



her florid perfume
now wafts through my mind rooms like
a hyacinth ghost

The Daily Dread



Administration
Will heretofore be known as
Clash of the Minions


Chickens coming home to roost

another relic
whining about being caught
in a surveillance
web of their own spinning used
to entrap the rest of us


Just another Companion of the Hellhounds psychonaut podcaster relic


seditious relic
seedlings try to avoid the
#clash between what they
say the rest of us should do
and what they don't do daily

Personal Advert:
So my little pierogi
Roll around with me
In some flour and butter
See what fun we can boil up




Follow time's arrow
Feel it in my marrow
Fly straight and narrow



Invert the advert
Give us your money to solve
The crisis we made

The crisis we made
Can be solved with your money
Advert the invert

The Daily Dread



Raconteur Rancor
spinning bilious narration
to all who'll listen



Rancor is the anchor for the soulless stanker wanker



the more he stretches
the truth the more elastic
it becomes for him
if it finally snaps back
will it hit him in the puss



Once the leaves yellow
The beach is best for strolling
Once swimmers have gone

The Daily Dread



Once upon a time
Got a splinter in my calf
Embedded for life
Reminds me with every step
Of that October moment



But a splinter of wood to keep us warm for the winter


No fork in the road
More of a turnpike splinter
Out of control spin



Less plausible than
a vignette in pulp fiction
Current governance


Splinter my timbers
Pulp my frost. Defrost the calf
Pump and dump plunder

The Daily Dread



Running with scissors
Tripping fell down and went slash
The gash was ghastly


October quickly churlishly churned
from mostly to vastly ghastly


clouded judgment brain
impaired by the fine drizzle
of grain alcohol
ghastly pharmaceuticals
and delusions of grandeur



Need an oasis
Away from constant drizzle
Of drivel du jour

The Daily Dread



another feral
fetid fabulation spun
from festering ooze



the nineteen nineties
a blur of awful choices
from professional
personal, financial swamps
to metaphysical bogs



Track the pink bunny
All under the hunter's moon
A #blur in the night



showing the whole world
the soft pink underbelly
of Corruption Inc.



The frisky fiend frolicked in the fetid fungi forest
