Best Advertises Poems

Squatting next to a garbage bin,
she dons a fake smile that doesn't fit.
And though track marks tattoo her skin,
her addiction won't let her quit.

Abused by pimps and those she serves,
each encounter has left its mark.
And a cheap dress hugs girly curves,
as she shivers there in...

"Pale Horse and the Yellow Submarines"



There approaches 
One

Light bringer
rides a dead pony

albino 
red eyed, no gun

or so 
the story goes

pale 
as death

hear its 
Netherworld neigh

beetles 
dig deep 

pigeons coo 
novocained

ignorant 
messages fixed

dull the pain 
sleep

hidden with
ghosts of deadly nightshade

Autumn turns 
into a...

The title captures the reader’s attention,
It's like bait on a hook that draws the reader in.
Let it be clever and creative; your own invention.
It supports the message expressed within.

A title can be like a magnet; it has pulling power,
and compels the reader to take a...

Lady bird, lady bird, why thou sings so beautifully
When other had got their voice cracked in the noon?
Do you sing of peace or lost love?
You have bottled my heart with your adverbial voice
Tending the grains in my garden to peace whilst they clap
Thou have undressed...

It's a two-wheeled cruising machine -
alloy spokes, bent handlebars, 
custom seat and paint job...
yet, I get these very odd looks
and wild laughter when I pull my bike up
to an establishment that advertises:
"Tonight is bike night - Cheap beer."
Is it my biking shorts?
Is it my cleated...

'Tis purty easy to size up a feller by the cap he wears,
By glancin' at the message that on his cap he shares.
Boldy emblazoned is a logo bright and clear,
Revealin' his dubious tastes and facts about his career!

A farmer is apt to wear a cap...

Real Estate Jargon Explained

By Elton Camp

When a house is for sale there’s good reason why
Trouble can come to anyone who advertises a lie

If the sellers certain expressions carefully choose
It will become easy the careless buyer to confuse

“This house is simply loaded with charm.”
Means we hope...

You came upon me
Late last night
  Whimpering,
     Whistling,
        Whispering.

Threatening those I love
I know it was you
    I still
      have your foot

I am ME.
And this is who I am 
No one can take my identity from me.
Clone me, Kill me
It still won’t do
Cause I am just me.

I am tall and slim and very black
With big black eyes that brightens the dark. 

Beautiful, ugly it does’t count,
It...

Betrayal My Love

Honor your own cold blackened heart 
You filthy dirty whore
Demonic pagan worthless piece of godless wonderment 
You stealing thieving thing                       ...

He's in the line for a quick pick up,
it's early in the morning and not much of a line

and he needs some milk and toilet papers, says
“I've had better days, this shall pass.”

He's said that line to himself a hundred times, sometimes
with an Irish Bostonian...

I remember the man.

He is the best friend that one could ever have,                     
he truly knows me like the palms of his hands;  ...

I believe that I "know" what I "know, "
And I think that I "know" stuff I don't, 
But the feelings I feel don't melt snow, 
And the futures I would mostly won't.

Like most folk, I don't "know" right from wrong, 
And I often confuse "Up"...

behind of a supposed strong & mature “adult”
who advertises to others their ability to
“discipline” their child,
lies a great fear stirring,
which comes out in the actions taken to make
that little child submit to their will
from early on---
when rebelled against,
the pusillanimous parent lashes out like a
dictator trying...

SHORTEST     DAY    TRICKERY


Again  December 23 is almost here 
Frost’s darkest evening of the year,
Ok.  But what really bugs me
Is that it is the date when we 
Are actually closer to the sun
By three million miles ...
