Ante Meridiem Poems


Premium MemberStroud Soldiers

And they came home battered, bruised,some we had to carry, unlike other armies ,we don’t shoot our wounded

We give them fresh water, tend their wounds,, sustenance to mend their soul and nourishment for what ails.

They come back from the front lines at all hours and always with love their bound

Stroud where their love is abounded
To cheers and salutations and our greeters summoned great support

Some of our wounded suffered Covid and death ,the pyres stacked high with wood and carried

Meetings ten ante meridiem and ten post meridiem , everyday of the year
Bloody and ragged, torn and hungry

Stroud where we are proud to serve,
God isn’t afraid to walk freely and His grace loves His steep streets

Mums never hide and Me Dad never shirks a duty nor a pint ,My sister is 
quite the sassy one though

Post Summer Solstice 2018

(stock up on photons while they last)!

Reduction asper daylight hours to worship
will immediately arise after
     2018 North American orbital trip,
viz zits summer solstice (human primal
     solar deification) riding astride spaceship
Earth, albeit 6:07 Ante Meridiem 

     Thursday June 21st noticeably slip
ping thru space beginning to harvest
     incremental darkness as Gaia rip
pulls across wrinkle in time 
     daylight will undermine a loss,

     and over the next month approximately jip
ping United States kinsfolk, who revere El Sol  
     quotidian solar rays, by one hour
     and eight minutes (i.e. 4080 seconds),
     thence trumpeting seriously 
     moonlighting re:

     getting down to brass tacks business - grip
ping a markedly steadfast advancement,
     whence August arrives (watch out),
     cuz cutthroat prime rate (zero APR) doth clip,
and clock about two minutes per diem,
     quite a substantial blip.

Ambulation

The quest for higher energy, higher abilities
Has become too trite

The savages always come by at 3 in the ante meridiem
And they seem to drain anything away that was built up

This shouldn't be a surprise 
As the dam was merely composed of hollow thougths

When the calm of the center is needed
The vampires come to play with the dendrites

The hum of the piercing lights at 7-11 drives an insatiable need 
To feast on the flesh of corn chips and the uneven axis of contemplation

Ah, the joys of a million subversive self-intentions
And the revelation that everything is sprinkled with the delicious salt of soul sweat

Yes it is easy to love the flowers burgeoning from the bones
Of the inside-out mastadon

Because the casinos will never close
The spectors operating the control panel revel in these morning hours

Shall the dance with the unnecessary electrons begin?
Stretch a dream over the face and walk through this life
