Best Brobdingnagian Poems

Here’s a starry poem one might call ekphrastic
about an exploding fireball fantastic
from a ‘nova’, imaged with time-lapse clarity,
all the more remarkable for the rarity
of tracking its expansion– which researchers say
engulfs a place in outer space in just a day
as great as where the orbit of...

Brobdingnagian people of wealth
Possessing sinewy warriors of health
Brawny nature makes empires shiver
City wall stronger more than ever. 

The people of great black magic
Though they are meek
Gallant like the pride of barbados
They brought glory to us. 

Their food, culture, tradition and music
Known all over the world...

Before the inchoative formation of bygone days, before time's transposing and 
infantile sands,
Before the engulfing deluge covered our quixotic shores,
Whence the awakened were dreamers bestriding upon night's fuliginous sands, 
Too late did our vaticinators previse deluded by  knowledge's eldritch doors,

Of Lemuria and Mu, once...

Famed cousin of Hollywood and subtilized by the agnomen Tollywood
This brobdingnagian docudrama industry
Has brought home the bacon
Over a meg neighborhood. 

The thirties first tacit motion black and white
Greeted the first sound Irani’s Alam Ara
The Take World War II riotous plot
Storm-tossed by blue fank.
The daring director...

Blanket of white top tall pines
with a crown fit for royals,
Brobdingnagian boughs reach in praise
a day in all splendor

Welcome the event unfolding
now before a waiting world
in need of much warmth,
only time stands before it.

Secure and serene,
chimney smoke wafts
from abodes no longer 
fearful but hopeful.

Awake! Awake!

In memories quiet I hear them...
the whispers, giggles and shhhhh's!
And cracking the door, 
through sliver slight,
peer upon eyes wide, bright...
And brobdingnagian smiles white, 
though teeth filled not quite
...and happiness is revealed
in the true beauty of
childhood sibling shared....

It’s easy to mistake spilled coffee grinds
on a counter top for small dead ants.
It is all too easy to mistake sugar granules
for the white sands of Montego Bay,
to push dunes into a drop of lukewarm water
with the etched whorls of a seashell finger
farming for life...

Shared standings and beguiling beginners
Brobdingnagian breeding and brutal babies
False fellows and flumadiddle flair
Well-attended wedding with subpar sageness
Cash corrosive customs control
Plagued positions and phony persona
whimsical world pious properly pegged

We are of One Mind -
a tentacled,
ethereal monstrous mind,
not inherently vicious
but nevertheless
                prone to random acts of terror.

One Mind swims,
slips through your time and mine.
Thought-eels mate in that gelatinous

Yours truly (me) just got acclimated to writing 2024...
whenever I needed to append the date to a document

Though the situation infrequently arose
for me to incorporate the year (2024 in this case)
or listen to a well trained
beetle browed foo fighter
named Jethro Tull
(in honor of an English...

In the tenebrous, xenial realm of the lake, where human cadavers oscillate, suspended by verdigris chains, a lamia of unholy provenance, orchestrates a gambits cavalcade.

Each mortal she ensnares, a lugubrious, ghoulish spectacle unfolds, as if the very essence of the lake itself had been vitrified,...

Bygones are again beginning.
Big Nose Kate and Doc Holliday
bang and toss China plates,
bothering my ears with their
blooming Southern inhospitality.

Bedbugs, I never want em,
because they bite in the night
bedsits' in Birmingham Alabama
big red marks on my bum.

Bad dream now
beetles crawling up my legs,
brown ones,
Brobdingnagian bugs.
Bangladeshi late-night...
