Mr Rate of Increase of Speed and Mr Rate of Change in Velocity

Mr Rate of Increase of Speed and Mr Rate of Change in Velocity.

Mr Rate of Increase of Speed and 
Mr Rate of Change in Velocity took advantage of
Mr Machine for 
Increasing the Speed and 
Energy of 
Charged Particles for 
being too agreeable. They have 
too much expression of 
acceptance in them and 
too much applaud

Heart Rate, Pulse Rate, Blood Pressure

My heart rate, my 
pulse rate, my 
blood pressure admit
now and then of
a little gossip about 
local trollops.

Watching Green Grass Grow

Standing on this hillside,
Watching green grass grow,
Have nothing to decide,
Just letting time go.

O, there is something great,
With watching grass grow,
It’s  special, yeah, first-rate,
Why, cause I say so.

Then, there is the blue sky,
Way, way up above,
And song birds on the fly,
Flood my heart with love.

You might think I’m lazy,
But that just isn’t so,
You might think

blind date is second rate

in my current manic state
I do not hesitate
to throw away my fate
walking off is my date

not a potential mate
identify source of hate
to silliness I equate
that guy was second rate

pretty sure you can commiserate
for your last blind date
was not totally great
book writers collaborate

publisher may have to wait
send a teaser as bait
this guy was named Nate
Not my

Rate Calulation

Chagisite or helium3

the World. Poor people
grunted hearing the report
while the wealthy

and manufacturing
"his smile was so wide

operation of a fusion reactor
fusing helium-3 with deuterium.

Twin Heart Rate Monitors

I couldn’t even stop myself from sacrificing everything for you
How could I be trusted with your last breath?
My recital of a photo albums worth of memories
Induced a coat of water in everyone's eyes  
But how could they possibly commiserate without being you or I?

And as I'm standing here, hovering over your padded table they

First-Rate Poetry

Are your thoughts still leading for poetry?
Do they leave the audience wanting more?
Or born thugs who hide them as a mystery.
Are your thoughts still leading for poetry?
Scare daylights out of them in memory.
Roaring a chainsaw as they reach your door.
Are your thoughts still leading for poetry?
Do they leave the audience wanting more?

Rate the Battle

***  RATE THE BATTLE  ***

Rate your pain, they always want to know,
On a scale of one (least) to ten (worst — “like hell,” they say),
Although, I think, that should be reversed, because at
One, first, this pain is anguishing; wanting to be foremost;
Rooted under everything.
I see a numbered One level pain as insipid, blocking

First Rate Finnish Firetrap

It was a first rate Finnish firetrap
Anyone who stayed was a big sap
I would have to be dead
To lie in that bed
Place not safe enough to take a quick crap

Surreal Pulse Rate

From a gem-encrusted window’s moonlit sash,
I peer vacantly on monetesque impressions,
 as they wander every ink shade hue  pathway.
bag lady street hail loner, 
water colour lachrymose plight,
 across the spillway nights-cape,
cul-de-sac of shadow flitting,
 sprites begging  to be daubed,
 on some genie artist’s  easel.
surreal  urban pulse rate ,
spooky  ghost form

- Resting Heart Rate -

Love, longing, sorrow and mysteries
                          It is the figurative star you should look for
                

Exchange Rate

( depiction of our hoochie heroine being 
        nailed by a stranger on his car) 

Branches warp inward where image reflects
Winscreen mangles trees in curved convex
Numbed halt of midday awaits later's laze
Birds suspended survey layered heat haze

Where for art thou crow's demand forlorn
Whips and ripples paisley foliage, air

Frustrated, First-Rate

~ Frustration, first-rate ~

 Plan-free poem penning produces
     enthusiastic 
        endorsement

 Carefully-crafted couplets

At Any Rate, It Will Be Fast Moving

At any rate,  reading a novel 
a slow-moving French drama 
doesn't grab my interest.
Indulge me,
by the time I get to the middle 
it will be fast moving.
Will they end up together?
It will be, if it is meant to be.

At Any Rate

At any rate, it's going to be epic  
Its going to be amazingly bold
Awesomely cool
Just plain right legendary
It'll be twisted
It'll be renounced
It'll be (for lack of a better word)
Flumongous!
