50 Words For Poe: the Dolphin

"50 Words for Poe: The Dolphin"  



Like Christmas 
all come at once
So too, to the 5th Dimension 
a motley crew had arrived
They were all now
One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest
comfortably ensconced 
all behaving like 
well-behaved fallen angels -
for once


They had parked themselves at a table
in the belly of
The Dolphin
Land of the Ochre
Here, where life

50 Words For Poe: Blue Skies

"50 Words for Poe: Blue Skies"



She was dressed to kill
Hot like a blazing Australian Bushfire
She crackled with heat as she
sashayed through the entrance
like Summer towards him, 
Like she was painted in 
Gold Lame Mesh
Armour tight, 
the fabric flimsy and 
sensationally short
stretched over very special 
killer covert agent curves
all long legs 
Le Lido Crazy Horse
all the

50 Words For Poe: Winter

"50 Words for Poe: Winter"



Hey, you know how it goes
when you had your first kiss

Poetry kind of gets you between
the gonads with that kinda shizz

Yep, you’re lost on the swell when it
hits that frizz

You just gotta hit the surf and 
when the waves come for you
dive under the Effers
You’ll come out of the Lemonade, betya

50 Words For Poe: Monkey Boy

"50 Words for Poe: Monkey Boy"




"VACANT" ...

You lie your head down on a soft pillow
in a grey room 
They say you have the Key
But it’s Hell, 
you’ve done the work
You’re not forgiven
You’re not free

Someone on the other side 
wants to lie down
there is no soft pillow
She’s very tired
But not over easy
Sunnyside Up

That’s not easy
Sunnyside Down

50 Words For Poe: Strangelove

"50 Words for Poe: Strangelove"


Strangelove was waiting  
in Holdnerness
He was anticipating 
with a certain glee 
The “Arrival” of 
Ms Bon Vivant, her sharpness
and sharing conversation 
over Kumquat Jam, Scones and 
clotted cream at High Tea, 
near the High Flyers’ Billiards Room,
Castle Skipsea

Communication decoded with her
cracked him like a whip
Got him all stirred up like

"50 Words for Poe:  Heathrow"




They landed at Heathrow,
Columbus in tow on tight leash
had not frisked the stewardess’ skirts 
as they to’d and thro’d past him down the aisle, 
like Fembots, bullets pointing all in a row
He sat there like a good boy and wagged his tail
tongue hanging out panting very fast never not slow


The

Love Immaculate
Souls now in sync
Souls merge in time
Powerful Immaculate

Hunger comes fast
Hunger for Love Immaculate
Hunger for Pure
The Power to Be

The Power to Be

Baskervilles was never a Raven Girl
Her name was Foxglove

She ran the Fells
She ran the Blue Hollow Hills
She ran the Lost Lovers Woods
Asylum was not Home, this was understood

To touch a

50 Words For Poe: Numbers

“50 Words for Poe: Numbers”



He was given a number
He counted the days
just number after number
Finally arrives the day he is free
The Nightmare never ends
He is not free to be He

His heart sits in a cell of a kind
But he doesn’t want "kindness"
He wants what was lost
What was lost is far behind him
He thinks what was

50 Words For Poe: Baskervilles

"50 Words for Poe: Baskervilles"
 

 
Baskervilles 
was loping over graves 
digging dirt for bones 
sniffing evidence of dead souls
counting tomes 
it flayed time & bled the gut 
of it’s own black soul
ate it inside out
howling, 
in fast pursuit,
the dog was a Dam b****

She’d been set out on the fells
to finally kill the soul of

50 Words For Poe: Eclipsed

"50 Words for Poe: Eclipsed"




Eclipse
Moon’s Silvery shadow 
kisses Sun’s Golden coronation 
at the point where tame fear meets Wild’s strong divination


Moon’s Silvery shadow
melts the Sun’s Golden frown with cool blunderbust
at the point where lupin drinks luminous dew from her dusk
on a clean sheet magik strokes a new story with ever constant silent trust


Melts the Sun’s

50 Words For Poe: Seagulls

"50 Words for Poe: Seagulls"


He was an Albatross
She taught him Seagulls 
Another language

LAX was nothing on 
Heathrow, decision made

She had decided to catch 
a flight over to old Blighty instead
Haunt the Hell 
out of some cross-dressing 
poet who had taken a 
break for a spell
he’d gone all troppo in his head
Yeah, she’d go ring his

He threw the car keys over to her
“Freedom keys babe”, he purred
“Silver Lady’s my girl” she said,

This he understood.

50 Words For Poe: Shark

The Shark’s name was Bruce
he liked to drive with his head 
hanging out the car 
mouth wrapped around a 
Montecristo Dantes Cuban Cigar

They met in Wichita
Room 101 in the 
Hotel Cicero

“Hey babe,” he said
“I know,” she said 
“You wanna marry me and
you wouldn’t be dead for quids”

“Hey babe,” he kissed her

50 Words For Poe: Cicero

"50 Words for Poe: Cicero"




On reflection 
she should have used 
Capone’s colt .38
which had been offered ...
at a price,
but the knife did 
the trick just the same
She used it more than twice

Straight through 
the Heart 
of our anti-hero
in Room 101
Hotel Cicero
Weapon of Choice: 6 inch Italian Stiletto

Instead of Alcatraz
she found herself
haunting Asylum 666
doin’ ghost time
