Best Brass Balls Poems


Presidential Inauguration 2017 - Poetic Screed - Part1

Fast as an atomic banshee, he roils sacred halls 
of White House clutches levers with brass balls
American powers remain unrestrained when he calls
Armada to exorcise imagine aery dragons, 
   he inarticulately falls
non-communicative, faux eruditely generative, 
   and heartily galls
toward this introspective kickstarter male, 
   and most likely others he appalls.
-------------------------------------------------
My inner guru hankers to share voice 
   amidst increasing din 
and clamors in reaction to insidious machinations fin
hushed via Machiavellian offal prince, 
   who unleashes clout with Cheshire grin
unconcerned about population, chaste, 
   from their wells Fargo wing. 
*     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *             
   Most every citizen banker, and kin
stared down vis a vis fierce-some intimations 
   catapult escalating, spin
laughing at rigged voting outlook 
   gratefully inflicts populace with monstrous win 
   doomsday soldiers - 
   art of the deal book not writ by said urchin.
-------------------------------------------------
Though regularly affiliated with top notch 
kudos to virtual soapbox platform 
   re: all poetry to express Bing averse 
toward ill feted Barron settlement 
   of United States government tossed like scotch
on thar hocks, thus an uneasy angst 
   also invisibly grabs me by the crotch
cuz das Trump power monger, 
   I fear rubric of democracy, he will botch!
-------------------------------------------------
This poem alternately titled - 
   harbinger of political debacle wolf find antipode 
where toxic brew at crack of 12 a.m. 
 January 20th 2017 doth bode  
doctored pregnant swollen tidal anarchistic military toad
deeds sheepishly shape into battalions 
   in tandem - fraternal order of police erode
Civilian protesters unite with ordinary citizen bankers 
 crowdsource sing metallic ca clash to goad

Unbelievable

Brass balls & eyes with a sliver of sin
Hence, where do I even bother to begin?
In fragmentation out on its desolate isle
We will know all the more in a great while

In sesation we get desperate & loneliness sets in
Enflamed by passion from within
Marked on its blotted page yet clearly intact
Working too hard can give anyone a heart attack

Today I want to soar to a place that is much better then before
Some our eager to contemplate history
The final line embraced in eager desire
Through a barrage of misrepresentation

Yet still today I long to soar to a place
That is much better then before
To embrace the inner swell of pain
While the entire world outside is totally insane

Through a closed window 
Yet for the moment only one can speculate
Through the closed window one can barely see
A very vibrant yet different way of a reality

In swift decisions that must be made

In a painful thrust & shortness of breath
Most only tap into a very small portion of brain
Through a closed window one can barely see
In some sorted variation in a dream

We then wander aimlessly as in some nomadic tribesmen

In desperation flirting with fire in the brain
In pillaged torn rhetoric decorum
Through a closed window
One can claim an inner sense of hidden solitude

We are all in the same cage here
Why do the guilty go free?
Why do the heathen rage?
Why does the sun still shine?

As painted faces lost in time

Were all in the same cage here?

It's just I want to know
How a most beautiful flower does grow
Through its frolic ambiance to unfold
In heights of soaring tears in sight

Still the river still flows out in some peaceful sway
Within tempers on fire yet still some ardent desire
A pilgrims process one can claim
It is so good to know that I'm still in the game!

WIND CHIME

              Wind-chime swings, rings,
                   hanging in my garden,
                     since I had shifted 
                      to my new house.
                    My Dad had gifted
                   on house -warming,
                              confirming
                         charm of tinkling
                    of light hollow brass balls,
                    sweet whistling of wind
              through chinks of wind-chime.

                 Wind-chime swings, rings,
                     brings blessing of Dad.
                       My bliss! My pleasure.
                           Peerless treasure.
                            An eraser
                      of evil and devil.
                              
                  Dad had passed away
                        leaving blessings
                        to resonate with
                   tinkling and whistling of wind -chime.

Premium Member Hindu Voodoo - With Apologies To Dylan Thomas

Tell me, my friend, when can I send 
My spirit gently into that good night? 
How many times do I have to die 
Before I get it right? 
Every car crash, train wreck, 
Overdose, misstep, 
Splintered bone, rug burn, 
Danger zone, poisoned cup, 
Open sore, bitter root, 
Slammed door, rotten fruit, 
Tool shed, chicken shack, 
Demon seed, heart attack, 
Foul deed, flash flood, 
Drowning pool, splattered mud, 
Ridicule, taut noose, 
Hanging tree, hot seat, 
Safety latch, knotted sheet, 
Lover’s leap, cruel twist, 
Sudden shift, slashed wrist, 
Whiskey breath, itchy wool, 
Charges due, paid in full, 
Circus freak, Judas kiss, 
Hide and seek, losing streak, 
Broken tooth, swollen lip, 
Busted jaw, sinking ship, 
Hard luck, hockey puck, 
Sucker punch, mother f*ck, 
Hot iron, nasty cold, 
Phantom limb, flat spin, 
Steel glove, rusty nail, 
Faded love, hammer claw, 
Twenty gauge, monkey paw, 
Tombstone, gaping maw, 
Friendly fire, lost and found, 
Piano wire, last rites, 
Foul deed, prairie dust, 
Jimson weed, stock tip, 
Bad trip, razor blade, 
Muscle rip, chain saw, 
Pole axe, pin prick, 
Candle wax, crack pipe, 
Dope ball, monster high, 
Bad call, de-tox, 
Padlocks, sweat box, 
Ticking clocks, hair lip, 
Pratfall, bull whip, 
Brass balls, matching set, 
Sacred cow, tangled net, 
Marriage vow, and every other 
Barren point of blackness 
That litters the 
Eternal Book of Life 
Are only punctuations 
In its bloody text, 
While waiting, 
Waiting, 
Waiting 
For the death 
That’s written next.

Premium Member Trade Marks

In a bygone age
Symbols then,were all the rage

Hanging outside,to catch the eye
A very visual...come & buy

Pestle & mortar,poles red&white
Or just three brass balls there might be

In days long past,
Few could read...but all could see.
