Best Beetle Browed Poems


A Struggling Poet
they're not speaking to me now, the Muses; 
they're being stubborn, 
witholding information, like beetle-browed accomplices -

mockingly, while my fingers twitch with impotent yearning

To Be a King For One Night
Brought back from the world of fantasies 
By the 8’o clock warning device
Raised up undesirably at a lazy pace
Retrieving the welcoming hateful whole day race. 

Jaded by the whole day lecture and ruined by assignments

Next week’s above mentioned...

Howami Hmm Good Question
Howami? hmm... good question,
but for some unknown reason
more tired than usual...,
without daily twenty four hours
proper rest, I feel haggard.

I strongly suspect (a hunch acquired
upon returning home
after visiting Notre Dame)
deep sleep interruptions...
attributed to uncontrollable need:

Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?

or scorn itself, seeing only 
the thoughts that feed it.

Forsaken… The melodrama is delicious.
Why?  Why do I tilt my...

Woke Up September 6th 2020
Woke up (September 6th, 2020)...

Got outta bed boot
did not drag comb against head
of  beetle browed foo fighter,
he did not arise
bright eyed (by George), nor bushy tailed
to bucket flush toilet.

After attending her asinine
morning toiletries, the missus
lovingly nudged me awake
quickly urging me to betake
sleepyhead husband pronto...

considerably more unbearable

about courtesy evil monster sprung
shortchanging restless and young.

Seconds to spare before
Doomsday clock strikes
twelve o'clock midnight
