Best Castigating Poems
It Is a SinIt is a sin
for Gregory to be a miser
even to himself
accumulating infinite fortune
with a half-bedroom to show for it
It is a sin
for miss Zane to gain special gratitude
from her male mates.
Coming late every night
with a different driver,
parading her flashy dividends
as she becomes a model for...

This Calming SeaTHIS CALMING SEA
I sit here in the darkness at a window
that mirrors my wild mane, unruly me
Imagine how in time this house will grow
around me, a Rapunzel, you will see
My hair in braids grow down a castle vast
The nurses turned to wicked witches, wild
If you...

Bird Gone ColdHow bad I feel when the glass fell?
Accompanying my chattering heart is the loud clatter
Piercing through my heart is your cold silence
Reasons for which I can't phantom
You deprive me your smile
You deny me your pretty face.
As I watch a one time smiley...

Silence Is Deafening
Three days late,
and a dollar of truth short
No condemnation of neo-Nazi hate,
no negative KKK report
Only tweet silence was heard ...
didn’t hear a peep, not one word
Domestic terrorists
were Tiki torching a church
late that night
Shouting ethnic and racial slurs
Aryan imperialists,
proud patrons of John Birch
causing heavy fright
They...

Filthy, Stinking MoneyStinking, dirty money
Foul, festering money
Putrid, gassy money
Rotten, disgusting money
Oppressing, cruel money
Castigating, merciless money
Admonishing, finger-wagging money
Subjugating, stone-faced money
Aah, money…
That your kiss is so sweet,
Your embrace so sensuous,
Your possibilities so tempting…
I am dirty with your scent...

On Ps PreachingThere is a place for the poetic preacher,
even in this forum---one can so feature
a castigating word, narrow-minded screed,
up to each person to decide what they read,
and while I don’t much like damning lines,
exploding like old-fashioned land mines,
I’ll hold my tongue while they do their work,
unless...

QuangosSo many of them abound
They make for a burdensome crown
Worn by a government needing to be overthrown
Is it time to kick all these bureaucrats
Out of town?
The mangling of democracy by quangos
Is the new autocracy
A daily cross to bear
For which we have a lot of resentment...

Trump Cucaracha CockaracaTrump Cucaracha Cockaraca
All of Trump's elegance started to erupt
Talking about how everyone is corrupt
He clumsily choses to be celebrating
And adversaries constantly castigating.
He slipped all of his savings under a rug
Net worth equals nichol which was a plug
And all stock marketeers have concurred
None of Trump's...

to staunch impending grim demise,
