Best Catchall Poems

To condemn the modern conflicts
like Vietnam, Afghanistan
and Iraq where there’s no quick fix;
and countless deaths in no man’s land
are still shamelessly occurring.
If one should speak out against them
those of us are charged as being
leftwing radicals and condemned
strongly as unpatriotic
a catchall word used to censor
opinion against...

How Do I Love a Cheerful God--

My cheerful God, you embrace me to fight.
How I love the way you hunt, walk and call,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the smooth catchall.

Let me compare you to a contender?
You are more dreamy, joyful...

Ah, tomorrow and tomorrows!
A procrastinators’ catchall
future days that he will borrow
freely to do nothing at all;
but presently those days will dawn

deliberate fabrications.
His wishy-washy character
lacks effectiveness and purpose;

which can be defined as fruitless.
Is there any...

Gods became religions to hold things in place, to offer control.
Due to...

Back drops of life
Tending down rottenness
Picking doors expensive
Voice activated
No intruders
Quiet enfolds 
Inner materials
Grand exits and entrance
Stage manner audience
Mountains back loft
Ski slope catchall
Frontal success 
Filling slates jest
Protruding those jealous...

The Truth About a Mirror

It's usually hanging from the wall,
It isn’t placed there just for sprawl,
It’s not an item or catchall...,
The truth about a mirror.
This wall piece will reflect an image,
The reflection may be new or vintage,
Often it can be a display of knowledge...,
The truth...

the fire

He didn’t die straight off…the flames seared his flesh and burned his hair.  The Nomex flight suit he was wearing melted in spots as the fire grew hotter. They held me off as I screamed and clawed to get free.  He finally...

A cobweb full of delightful piles and paints.
Half finished canvases, beautiful embroidered scarves.

See? She is not a witch, I told my persnickety girlfriend.
Ooh! She said. “Is that a cobweb?” It...

Seal fin de siècle with unheard celebration

though two thousand nine hundred

to think about fêted occasion
which marks the beginning

than think about generations to come

Chinese art influences Veronica’s living room
Dining area is black, stark, goth, full of gloom
Her kitchen is a catchall of a variety of junk
If anyone thinks she uses it, they are full of bunk

We did not see her bedroom, but I heard it has a theme
