His spirit flows through rapture

I woke up in the front yard this morning.
I had built a statue to all that is 
Made from materials from my garage
Garden hoses, barbecue pits you name it.
It reached towards the sky like the Tower of Babylon
It almost reached the treetops,
Which I had been...

The Shuns of Life
THE SHUNS OF LIFE
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


This poor bloated woman, after nine months of inflamation
Dropped me off at the maternity ward, a brand new creation
She ejected me without a second thought or hesitation
Unburdening her of guilt and pain and utter frustration
Being slapped from the, git go,...

A Blimmin' Cold Day, Even For Grandad
All avenues are amphibious arenas
Bubbles belch-burst, bitter Bacchanalian bombs
Clouds' cast-iron crescendo creates cold cantankerous caricatures
Drenched - darkness descending, daylight dying, disappearing duskwards
Every eye echoing every eye, emotional evidence enveloped
Fake furs, fashionable fools, firm friends fleeing flowing firmament
Garrulous girls giggle, grizzled gangsters get going, gravity gyroscopes...

Neverwas E.A.P. Part2
But nevermore my harsh friend, for I hear Kipling poignantly 
Clearer now, when he beseeched “If neither foes nor loving friends 
can hurt you.” I am holding nothing against you. But allow me a wry 
smile as I imagine you sneering, or with morbid bacchanalian
fashion...

The Reign of Stormy Daniels
alternately titled: breast damned fallacy hi-jinxed!

In her “60 Minutes” interview aired
Sunday (March 26th, 2018),
the **** star known within red district
as Stormy Daniels bared
her "naked lady" version

swearing oath of honesty,
she emphatically dick cleared
on a stack of video nasties, 
and x-rated 'zines
now she can live rest of...

About Time Too
ABOUT TIME TOO

Create a universe with space,
and stars and suns, then planets.
Add some life and watch it grow;
almost nothing to almost something.

Implant a need to change, evolve,
until finally one arrives at sentience.
We now have human, which thinks,
therefore it is, but often chooses not to.

Our very...

Ah Tis Nothing Greater Than

malfunctioning heater 
on that brisk winter day
recorded here as proof positive
regarding following reasonable rhyme.

While scrolling thru

I chanced to jog my memory where

Conceived In Sin -
Conceived In Sin - 
Cincinnati, Ohio
(most Up To Date Virgin)

Any attempt for fecund woman
to successfully counteract biologic
reproductive force to whit
deserves grudging testes
meant to garner at least tidbit
sans, ejaculated kudos (by Dickens),
where aborted squirt,
viz skin flute, gets writ

off as sad sack pit
tiff full seaman unwittingly spit

Mine Deplorable Shenanigans Trumped
I don got nothing but terrible
reviews bruited about
dip pressing field day
me (Lothario wannabe) 
trumpeted execrable lout,
a garden variety baby

boomer father without doubt,
his own shameful paternal
shenanigans cavalierly he did flout
dwarfed teapot dome scandal,
thus one look no further,

or send out a scout
herewith infractions distilled,
though personally, I strongly...

Get Out of My Head Mister Chatterbox
Get Out Of My Head Mister Chatterbox!

Upon prima facie first blush

sans long forgotten
"FAKE" sexual exploits

Humbly Intrepid Jedi Leader
