Best Blocky Poems

And I walk
across numerical figments
speaking hyperbole dialect to their imaginations.

Numb, blocky gaps
whisper invitation to secret club.

Enticing my stature
to belong
to become exponent’s side-kick.

So they can welcome me with open arms.

Coating my digits with inoperable tumors
double-knotted in hot pink laced bow
and baby-breath scent.

They even left a Walmart...

My teacher died.
   
   His lungs failed him.

He taught me that the lungs
harbor grief.

   His lungs are gone.
My grief has only just arrived.


   He used his lungs to power
his Power.
To power his speech.
His lungs let him connect
to...

Wondering memories of wild adolescence,
Flash before me like a mental Rolodex
Reverberating daze, 
Time cannot take away.
A fifteen–year–old,
Broken neck calypso.
Gazing through the jungle-o window
Unequipped to fathom what was about to happen.

I saw the moon in your eyes,
And knew;
You smile in the way that islands do,
And the...

The theme of this story
is a brown beagle puppy
with a blocky head, large ears,
a curved-up tail and white pawns.
I proudly mamed that gorgeous pooch:
Lucky...the hound that loves to smooch! 
  

I was asleep, cuddled up in a warm  blanket...
when I hear the bark...

Dream state yields deep sleep personifications

Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids
into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,
where the sandman beckons and bids
dead to the webbed wide world,
yours truly immune to wakefulness 
despite being tasered courtesy cattle prod,
or struck by lightning hurled 
by the...

Merry ride down the isle of summertime,
I said to the willow outside my window 

I asked you when the cherry blossoms will
 Bloom outside my schoolyard Garden again 
You gave me eighty cents for old ice cream,
“Not the blocky kind, you teeth will burn”
When you...

Sponge Bob Square Pants must have originated with Boterismo
I can only imagine the responses by the socialized.
They would not have understood the blockish faces
Or the stocky blocky bodies drawn by Angulo

People with art in their souls readily understood it
Flocking to his shows in droves -...

a scant mere
seconds to late, when with a crash, which near
concussion smacked noggin
   hard against blocky chunk hove ice
   informing gap toothed email

   (actually, that incident
   me quite traumatized),
   i.e. unpreparedly tasting solid rock hard...

Shy Adrien fell in love with Rocky
He is not arrogant and not cocky,
These two loved each other
Both also loved her brother,
Took care of bird named Mr. Blocky.

Apollo Creed match was a disaster,
Rocky was fast, but he was faster.
If there is any doubt
It finally worked out
All...

I recognized the hand immediately
Daddy never used cursive
He dropped out of school in eighth grade.
He always printed.
Maybe he forgot cursive?
His blocky dark blue letters were put painstakingly onto a page.

He wrote his memoirs more than once.
Having Alzheimer’s in the end, he forgot what he had...

Tidy boxes, appealing to the eye in a calendar,
office space, sterile wall, driven in circles mad by desire
for stimulation, a place beyond walls
does such a place exist? and if so what fear lies there...
unwinding years of pre-k programming
system lined with debonair intrigues
if you do this...

Better in memory
It was an adventure.
It was community.
It was friendship.
But with time, all things must fade,
Just like a mascarade.
Long long long ago,
I would play,
In the blocky world of make believe,
Nothing built can last forever,
As so they would say.
