Best Brandon Poems

They say ...
That babies don't smile
You were SO big when you were born - 11lbs 3ozs
And being VBAC, you had been through a lot in the birth canal

So you looked like a prize fighter after a heavyweight bout
Red and purple and bruised-looking, eyes squinted
You made...

Hey America, what do ya think of your Pres now?
Still think he’s a moderate?
Still think the virus came from a bat?
Still think your child needs to wear a mask?
Still think Jan 6 Committee isn’t a hyper-partisan circus?
Still think MAGAs riot but BLM & Antifa protest?
Still...

Today I learned, once more, the lesson of loss.
Today I learned of a brother gone.
Tonight I pay my respects, in what words I can muster;
forever he is one of us.

I didn’t know him for all too long,
and never got all that close, 
when it really...

Always unconditional
Dazzling by far

This was written for a wonderful young man that I am very fortunate to have in my life. He
is so passionate about so many different things. I was thinking about him and this is what

Sparks of inspiration fueled frisson building, crafting, 
designing, a gamut of glorious finished products, that

Delicate one
Gossomer glass
We hoped without knowledge
that this too would pass

(For somewhere a rainbow
whispers your words
Bending and stretching
to hear and be heard)

Delicate one
Candle in wisps
Breath to the sky
in a circling kiss

(Shadows were heavy
and troubles were nigh,
and now, without knowledge,
we tenderly cry...)


This is for Brandon Basson, who,...

The Second Amendment guarantees
A basic right of Liberty
For good men and women to remain free
The right to bear arms

Law abiding citizens who do nothing wrong
The blame of mass murder on them does not belong
Why disarm them so they are doomed
Defenseless against the criminal goons

We have...

You my child mean the world

to me, because you are my world.

I am so proud of you,

my little boy.

To see your precious smile,

melts my dear heart.

Those bright blue eyes

sparkle so.

The way you wrinkle

up your little nose as I

speak with you

cracks me up to

no end.

You will...

It is just so scary
and I just don't know.
I even have fear.

She's just so pretty
and I'm not good looking either.
I wish there was some way
I could just talk to her.

I truly wish to impress her
but I just don't know how.
I really need some help.

I really...

Away from tireless desk job i.e.,which obliged 
swearing allegiance, fealty, loyalty within complex 
edifice, where obsolete quaint rubric, schematic, 
thematic mantra "We Bring Good Things to Life,"
met with gnawing, emerging, chomping 
objectionable quandary. The sedentary station 
exhausted, milked usurped mental energies 
linkedin hinged upon the...

Why you have to go 
I don't want you to go 
I understand why you have to go
When it's all over will you come bac to me
I love you so much and I hope you love me too
We can be as one and we can...

Two legends lived. One and another 
Had Lee as their second name.
The son was Brandoned by his father.
Years passed. Meanwhile, the ships in fame

Swam in the film-sea very bravely,
In all storms staying really strong
And working diligently, gravely.
But their way was not - alas! - long.

The...

(alternately titled: Zayda born April 9th, 1929)

e'er since his birth,
     his daring do didst not abate
the penultimate most spectacular
     concrete incontestable product

     constituting biological offspring
     developing, fashioning,

You came to us so quietly
so sudle, with overflowing innocence
such excitement in the air
with thoughts of the first view of your beautiful face
such eagerness in our blood
to kiss your perfect forehead for the first time
To picture life without you now
is as impossible as digging to...

Alas he still bore the “code” POTUS
When they realized “his ship will not float us”
So they gave him the shoe
With a swift “bloodless coup”
Convinced that nobody would notice
