Abbreviated Poems

Oh, living, breathing star
     how beautiful you are.
You pulsate from afar- 
     our cosmic avatar.

Life beats inside your heart
     that rends dust-rays apart
so elements- impart

I am an earthly phenomenon
as common as light itself.
And whereas all other things
exist as sone kind of substance,
as a shadow, I am unique in that
I exist with none of my own;
rather I am dependent on two
essentials – light and the...Read More

From a very little age, I have loved birdatching. before we go on a trip, we used refer some books and write down a list of birds to check on. we actually gave up this habit after several of our...Read More

On which side of the authority line 
  do you fall…

      The pulpit, 
      The assembly line, 
      The suite down the hall

Who makes...Read More

Shadows
Written: by Tom Wright
10-25-2016

Ghosts of previous years defy escape,
Emotionally swaddled in a bullet proof vest
I sit in the corner of my mind as if abducted.

In this abbreviated state I wander twixt reality, 
And dreams of my subconscious; 

While roaming through...Read More

Whenever and whatever 
Enter into our mind 
Apply always filter there 
To stop garbage any kind

Control quality hug quality
Of thoughts enter there 
Keep busy mind always
In valued stuff where ever

Powerful thoughts if in 
And mindset always there
Get energy and thoughts...Read More

A blanket laying, book-reading, lemonade sipper 
     turns a page
There is a ghost of sadness in this place
    shared madness, despair and rage

Somewhere in the sandy and dreaded dune

She tinkers change someone left on the table
waiting for brunch at the Bluebonnet Bistro,
a hole in the wall with thick on the windows.

Lost deep to thought, this rock ‘n roll liberal
in her mid-twenties and sage satin stole,
pockets a penny that...Read More

One Sunday afternoon last summer with the weather being great,
we decided we should carry on one normal summer trait,
and put on a ‘barby’ for the neighbours, so we can socialise,
while we have a drink of bundy and tell a heap...Read More

Through graveyard
meandering, just
me and Dad
stories sad
abbreviated down to
mostly names and dates

So we tell
their stories by turns
like poor Duane
Dinwiddie
died at age thirty-three of
bee sting allergy

So tragic
how she caught a chill
Angeline
age nineteen
who died before her wedding
day, her groom grieves still

Or the war
heroes,...Read More

After beguiling charisma,
damnable excoriations fixedly,
gamely, horribly, insult jesting,
kibitzing, loosely mindless nattering,

outlandish pablum, quintessentially
representing senseless trumpeting,
unswervingly vapid wordy
X-DOUBLE-MINUS
yawping zest.

If ye did not already guess from thee 
above blimey claptrap, Das English flap
doodle glib human incorporates jokingly,
kookily, laughably mashedup nonsensical, 

oddly, peculiarly,...Read More

I'm barely crawling toward my grave
And lucky to have come this far! 
A life lived mostly not a knave, 
Or specimen in someone's jar.

It's not so easy to stay clear
Of folks who'd label us at times, 
A president so cavalier
He...Read More

MY AGE

My age is nothing but a number, nothing but a slumber that I can’t wake from, this is what I’ve done. I’ve looked around and found that the matter of the fact is life isn’t what it’s supposed to...Read More

                    for I am only alive in death,

  ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS
Abbreviated by an early autumn night
the summer, once tormented by a torrid sun,
relented to September, as if dying might
give reason to all things the heat and time has done;

The stalks of corn, if touched, explode into...Read More

Check out Darwin Barney's abbreviated slide and crawl into third
It's on YouTube, even Darwin laughed at himself, how absurd
For all the Blue Jays fans
Got them off their hands
Worth the admission, a fun spot in a dismal year for the birds

hear my words I don't know if this
if this will make you feel better, you need to feel better
hear my words
I though I would just sit down here
and jot down some sweet verbal praises;
I may not know how you feel
but...Read More

Cold, abbreviated February,
host to nobel, famous politicians.
Day commemorating dignitary,
valentines addressed on loving missions;
Cupid's bow delivers executions.
Leap year makes your stay a little longer,
winter's freeze and ice a wee bit stronger.

For thousands of years, ice giants were sleeping.
But now, these dense “blue ice” glaciers are weeping.
Warnings that in many ways bear repeating.
Global climate change speeds glaciers’ retreating.

In Alaska and Glacier National Park,
The melting of ancient glacial ice is stark.
Half the...Read More

Computer science is abbreviated as "comp sci." 
Comp sci is so hard it gives you a sigh. 
Computing is everywhere in the world of sci-fi. 
Network is so prevalent these days you can't get by without a wi-fi. 
When I...Read More

Complacent, well being, in a covnant devil attitude. 
Disdained, yet creep compliant in a socio-dick tated preferential,
Momentarily distracted, I give up my circumstance unreliant,
And predispose to and fro an ever present guilded conveyance, that of a
piss/poorance annointed leaving an abbreviated...Read More

A canoeist from
Saint Louis sipped saki on
