Best Barometric Poems

One flower almost gray
but visibly not

Brushed by a breeze on
concrete wet

Emerged from a crevasse
along the corner

Forced to hold on to its
limited yellow

Open to suggestion 

More than several
shapes take hold

On a distant wall of
wind emerged tornadoes

Spun in favor of the
days rotation

Coming in from the west

At a...

"Environmental suits all checked and rechecked.  The chamber is sealed."

"PROCEED!".

"We're losing barometric pressure!"

"COMPENSATE!"

          "Energy output is constant."

"The rift is stabilizing sir.  Air pressure is equivalent to about 15,000 feet altitude."

Dismal, gloomy
is the Future forecast
Ominous beta waves
carry neural turbulence of
mood destruction
Nocturnal tempest creates 
a cyclonic flow
Cranial pressure release
a petulant downpour — 
Tsunami tears on the pillow

Whither does those idyllic memories blow?
These stormy, overcast feelings
don’t appear to be bosom bound tropical

Grey matter skies
darken the dawn horizon
Reluctant...

ESTIMATING NINE MONTHS FROM ESKIMO KISSES

TUNDRA tunics
tendered,
holding hot
homeothermic
sentient swaddling,
stirred with
warm waves of
cocoa cresting charm,
bathed in barometric
swoon.
sweetheart neckline
netted nefariously
close -
charm capitulated.
frowns forever forlorn,
as aromatics allure —
cologne colonization,
fever-pitch
of friendship,
not so subtly
sensuous —
harbored hashtag,
blue breath
below freezing —
frenetic, freeing
OF ovulating applause.

A Little Boy’s gun with a barometric trigger,
showed a Fat Man how to
blot out an Empire’s rising sun.
Proliferation’s need pushed
Sellafield and Kyshtym to trip chasing Manhattan.
Twenty two years later and just
three miles south of Middleton,
failed safe assurances lied again and signed
Pripyat’s some thousands years lease...

And blondes whistle (mightily)
Groove and rhythm supplied
By their accidental guardians
Feigning lock-down on these
Rancid, insipid rugged shores
It's what's expected
The triumphant stasis
The settling down of
Benign expectations
Mixed coarsely with the
Vinegar-garnished
Toxic waves disguised as hope
Fame and glamor
The settling in of those
Who (plead) their mere existence
Laconic persistence
To roam and dare
And...

I've got a headache
I left you in bed, feeling I was upset with you
And left the house without a goodbye
The city's miserable when the weather's grey
I see it in the postures of people on the sidewalks
There's tension in every face, neck and shoulder
From withstanding barometric...

polar vortex intensifies
as bitter arctic air
ushers in the new year

winter storm conditions
stir gusts of wind
scattering good wishes

prevailing disturbances
eventually converge
as high chance 
depression and instability
will soon dissipate

accumulation of good cheer
will undoubtedly release
barometric pressure

if you plan a trip to the
intertropical convergence zone
you’ll be trading
your ice storm warning...

I loved a suburban woman,
but she didn’t urban love me
as deeply as a brother needs

She said I was too ghetto
But my bank account said
I was qualified gated community

CitiBank gitti ghetto said it, not me

Me and the peer pale woman I loved
first met at a posh...

A smile on her face and a gleam in her eye*,
As she kisses him on lips and adjusts his tie,
A day long wait to surprise him at the door,
joy of motherhood can’t be contained anymore! 

His joy shot up on the barometric scale,
He dropped the...

A pro bowler is not thought of as a precision performer
  Laying a 16-pound ball in the exact same spot
Over and over again, as many as 300 times a day
  Morning, afternoon and evening for weeks on end

Nor is he deemed a disciplined...
