Best 79 Poems

As the Dime Store sirens flared
bolts of irradiated invite,
my query was denied.
     Their pimp-striped pilots only moaned, 
     their lust fueled by encapsulated 
     stench carried only by toothless carnies

Like an almighty cauldron, 
Curling and twirling, 
Stirred by the sea, 
It came bashing, 
As a torrential torrent 
Pounding endlessly....

Haiku 79

	that is me

Dad, we said our good-byes by phone
the other day,
we both knew without saying,
and yet,
when I heard today that
it is all over,
it is still hard to believe
that you are not somewhere out
in cyber space.

I like it that you were ready,
that your wife was secure,
that you were...

A small advance party scouted the valley high,
The rest,
In a ba,
Massed on the ocean nigh,
Not towering creatures with spindly hairs,
Nor mountains of bellows with rumbles of bears,
But endless splotched
Like cotton from cats,
Plumps and hunky
Like so many rats,
These clouds rolled by
In a playful parade,
Summer chasing Summer,

Dolly woke first kissed Damian 
On his cheek. He was still asleep.
Today was July 27th  Dolly 
Thought, "Oh my Goodness."
"Today is me and Molly's 
Birthday. Justin and 
Jordan turned 10 in April. Now
Me and Molly would be 38."

Amadeus and the Seven would

1935 I was born alive
something happen to me I was revived
And with the good Lord on my side

COPLA 79 INVOCATION: This Bad Guy World

Whatever the Law behind Nature
Naturally flow ways of life:
Come seasons go

Each in his time must grow mature
The fruit that ripens ripens strife:
Must Justice know

Is what’s Immuable thought out
A priori or accidental:
Reason must reign

Nothing’s made of nothing throughout
Everything began in...

I promised to make his dreams official
He feared his desires would appear superficial
Yet still he fought and pushed me away
And the love I require remains self contained

I offered him light and security
These words can't be heard on his sound frequency
He attempts to hide in a...

Lumi smiled and reached out to grab his shoulder.  They passed over the ridge where, as Joulupukki had said, a small hamlet clung to the side of the mountain about equal distance to the valley below .  The half elf guided the sleigh...

Marble 79

Marble in blended colors rolled on in red
Blue and green seen above the surface next
Turned up to be observed against the orangish dawn
Emerged, rolled over again, and it must be said, forever 
Sped past huge towers warm and calm

A round glass small, a marble...

The world is so divided from hatred and fear
And it doesn’t look like there is any end in sight.
But we can change all of that if we want to stay here.
All we have to do is look inside and do what’s right....
