Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
Leave a thankless job
Transit to a joyless home
Train ride refugee
a promise to train
transforms into a lifetime
of soul crushing debt
slap dash calabash
with a lick and a promise
took the task to hand
very fast and none to clean
slippery split with a twist
it's a better choice
a melon scented candle
than alternative
aromas on the market
of the pheromonal kind
schadenfreude days
current leadership takes time
to throw our nation
under the grinding wheels
on the bus of history
wriggling about in
homemade wormhole forever
forgot the timer
Civilizations
That hibernate in the sand
Tell tales we should heed
Reliving adventures with biscuit
Geezer and Geezerette joy 😂
We want the future we were promised
Not the future we deserve
There is not enough
Glade air freshener around
To make me not mind
The stench wafting out of the
White House these days in DC
Start as a skirmish
Becomes full on donnybrook
Then big bada boom
old friend on Facebook
reconnect was a gamble
then hit the jackpot
I practice weaving
Words into fine taffeta
Ends up as denim
felt so right last night
why not do it one more time
practice makes perfect
Everytime I cut
Grass it's a first draft. Next week
I'll do it over
Republican speak
Preemptive obfuscation
On public display
Faith's dark twin
Illusion
Know Your Enemy
up in the castle
self appointed lords plot ways
to rook the poors more
not at the same time
there can be pasture or trees
the yin or the yang
Cast unto the net
Another blurb for the blog
Oh fiddle-de-dee
Tanka falettinme be mice
Elf agin haiku for U
(RIP Sly Stone) 😥
rook in a pasture
tucked in a cosp of trees caws
something for the blog
pondering at the
precipice of my palate
balsamic balance
savory and sweet linger
with trace memories of her
Sometimes I do five
Just to keep the algorithm
Slightly off balance
I said nobody
Puts ambient dread powder
In a cardboard box
It comes in plastic baggies
The good old nickel bag dread
What's going on here
Ain't no Boxer Rebellion
More of a greedy
Botox grifter power play
Grabbing more bloat with our bucks
haiku pebbles fall
like rain on the upside down
online lake of void
so what makes me go
heel to toe heel to toe that
magic makes it so
Kingfisher bragged that
"We're going to be so rich."
He didn't mean you
Equinox balance
Caress the wild within you
Always cedes valence
Wasted too much time
To rehearse conversations
That never happened
Phrazez that Payzez
Teen angst poetry love
Persistence is futile. The Borg 🤖
I remember everything
I may not remember them correctly.
But I remember
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
I write small poems
While next to me on the couch
World's thrashing around
In night sweat terror detox
Reality withdrawal
What a button does
Can never really be known
Until you press it
Perched on the next stool
This enigma seemed to me
A shade too cozy
Proceeded to press buttons
That had long been left unpushed
Phrazez that Payzez
Which one of youse got their stardust in my pixie dust?
A murder of crows
A scavenging of seagulls
More than just a flock
I love my wind chimes
I hate my neighbors wind chimes
My stuff and your shit
lift of life makes me
soar upon wings of desire
to swoop from above
down into beloved arms
that swaddle my poor sore soul
susurrus soar through
the corridors of my mind
where howls once echoed
A Scroll Threw Life
