Admission Poems

Well's dry.... life sucks... so if anybody's looking I'm selling poetry ammunition.
It's called subtraction by addition.
I'm Lil Gary the world's first Lovercomedianpoetelectrician.
Broke as hell shot out to Hank because it's a family tradition.

Everyone calls me crazy but there just haters...Read More

When Monty didn’t return to the town
in sorrow the love-struck Monique was drowned,
and townsfolk clucked when they saw her tears,
would say,”It turned out just how I feared.

“You never can trust the musician sort,
they’re here one moment, then gone on their...Read More

A bloated river vomits its contents
Towards the sea
Debris and mud floating fast
Past boulders, jutting rocks, obstacles,
Creamy foam caps and whirlpools,
Deadly admission to the underworld below
Where the Jaguar King lives
 
There he sits, alone on his throne
Panthera onca, God of the night
He...Read More

Smiling recollections,
summer evening reflections, now
almost gone for new generations
while my venues of childhood musings
and adolescent anticipations
...near extinction.
I must concede my willingness to share
what they will never recall
     - the exhilaration 
when Dad would pronounce,
"We're going to...Read More

Though absolutely insured because of family’s opulence
We can’t verily buy a bed guaranteed to give peace-prevalence.

Though our financial records show investment’s gain
Our health so stressed complains of physical pain.

Though we press toward heights of being prosperous
We may retrogress due to...Read More

SOME SO VERY WEIRD CHAPS

On out walking one ghostly night 
I came upon such a strange sight

4 tartan-clad lads carrying a pole
Me; as thinking, how flippin’ droll

I followed them, in ghastly winds
Leaving their hair in frantic spins

Heads bowed not a...Read More

The worst kind of killing is a killing to death
When the subject in question runs out of breath
A delightful event
Worth every cent
The admission is censored but causes much stress

It's 1969, time of the great Apollo 11 mission
The world stopped and acknowledged this first admission
Man's amazing feat
Most amazing since meat
John Glenn was first to discredit the cheesy superstistion

Vocabulist nonalcoholic punchdrunk stupor January 1st, 2020

Unlike the vast population swath,
with painful hangover
average celebrant merely
doth confusedly blink,
who devoutly pledge
new year resolution
to give up drink
immediately fall off wagon

as he/she eagerly downs
shot after fermented shot
while forearms link
with family, friends,
strangers, et cetera
and immediately...Read More

Argh... dog dam mutt

If only father time could... but
yea right Matthew Scott cut
your losses, accompanied
with sinking feeling in gut
ready to vent off steam
start fire next time and burn

Domestic chargé d'affaires
became mine bailiwick
dint of the missus being
disinclined and less quick
budgeting, hence I inadvertently
accepted lickity split,
subsequent obligation did

smoothly clack and click,
which minimized conflict
whereby we shared equal intrinsic
reciprocity complicity, culpability
then at playtime, thee enigmatic
one whipped out adult toys
stashed in the...Read More

Were I with artist brush to carve my strokes upon this canvas with the very blood which once passed through my beating heart, pulsed through my veins and bore witness to my soul....would those strokes with their cry for life...Read More

Almighty God, the supreme Father above
assures me, through Scriptures’ precepts, His divine affection
affirming His marvelous vibrant love’s abundance
always at work to grant pardon absolutely
and assuage my guilt-caused anguish*
as I confess my iniquities, spiritually atrocious…
along my heart’s repentant acquiescence.

Asserting  His...Read More

Looking upon the Eucharist that clips our heart.
The sole journey to the promise Land of thought,
Not as that which ended up in forty years.
But the one that has brought sorrow in laughter to our face.


From the first year of life,
Had...Read More

always waiting for
her next submission

a risky mission

in my admission to
send in the Maureens

They wanted the best for their children,
hovering through the toddler years,
giving them what they wanted,
giving more to avoid any tears.

When their kids became teens, they wanted fame,
building an image for their now empty life,
devoid of moral direction and sense of...Read More

There they go down the street 
Even before they had anything to eat
During this tradition that has no admission 
People have a wide-eyed appeal
 Since this party is truly the real deal 
When marchers march, dancers dance, and balloons fly...Read More

life goes on

cool as an angels kiss
requires a crackling fire
moderator of my world
held in a cast iron stove.

first admission that seasons
are fickle, change inevitable,
rolling on through time 
never quite the same.

my mind touches all that is...Read More

I may not be perfect but I'm still here.
Maybe I wasn't there for you.
Maybe I didn't fight hard enough or you, 
 for your rights.
I didn't fight the way you thought I should have.
I may not be perfect but I'm...Read More

For the time when half the day has gone,
The catchword through admission, it is lost, 
Lest a change of a word that can be, crossed,
As 'pass-ed' is the best choice, somewhat, is drawn.

One interprets a wasted period,
As the other substantiates...Read More

Heretic condemned to burn at stake
reprieve eleventh hour granted clemency
commuted death penalty
criminal sentenced solitary isolation
rat infested dungeon ultimate punishment
doled out after protracted proceedings
courtesy amazing graceful puffed dragon

Central air conditioning quickly
found this creature comfort acclimated,
defies, contradicts, bumps uglies...
up against rugged individualist
I meekly profess to idealize
admitting propensity nothing

burrowing into sixty degree Fahrenheit
climate control mancave
quite divergent weathering
