"Scarecrow"



Worldliness 
in those 
who traverse 
poets’ 
re-edited
edited 
re-edited
thoughts;
semicolan, pause
their notes;
Mark a line
crossed black
on a 
Poet’s cross
caught still 
breeze blowing 
through
tightly tied 
forgotten
Love Knots

See there, 
an entire 
field of 
a thousand or 
more
Scarecrows
nodding
fixed to one spot

Witnessing all
through 
footprints
left in 
another's 
foreign terrain 
frozen cold
black footprints
somehow 
become
pure...

He's staring off into oblivion;
dead-lights, who of their own free will choose to illuminate
the gray matter microwave that is TV:
too vain, too vulgar. Thought Vanquisher,
brought to you by your friendly-facade-keepers:
the politicians pussyfooting on a pedestal
built of an uninformed (yet united) public -
whose belief in "connection"...

Ron Dump says he’ll destroy North Korea
With finger poised, we have so much to fear
He’s a power mad glutton
With his hand on the button
Will the universe still exist next year?

BY JAN ALLISON


I just hope his finger gets stuck
Where his bum cheeks do tuck
I don't live...

Cradled by a hammock
with the sun shining in.
Coddled with Summer fun.
Ice cream’s dripping
from a whopping sugar cone.
It’s sweet to do nothing
but tongue the licks
and swing in a basket
in the zephyr wind.

It’s sweet to read a book
as I settle in.
My heart can race,
with adventure and romance,
with...

I SHUDDER TO  THINK 

I  shudder to think about the way 
Some  vegetables are  abused every day -
With physical  and psychological  slights
In gross violation of their vegetable rights.

Handicapped vegetables  have no chance to fight back
Like eyeless potatoes ...

I am strong, I am lean
I am part of the restless pack
I am a great wolf on the run
swift of foot and living free.

When I stare at your world
I see fat dogs that look like me.
They don't hunt, they just wait
until you feed them.
When I...

“Maverick”




Mavericks are made
in the silence 
spent 
where
freedom 
is kept locked tight
in solitary confinement
moments melting 
down visceral pain 
through love 
and 
loveless madness 
fierce swords are 
grown from what’s
left of the shattered
Heart’s core
self-belief taken up again 
intellect fox cunning 
running the gauntlets 
between the
dishonour guards 
in...

the war was well 

on its way
mottled and coddled
 battled  and  bottled
before the

            front was modeled
      the frontline was hobbled
the forefront was cobbled

dark hearts be doubled
light hearts...

The Wellington Harbor vagrants that waddled
Removed from the sushi stand where they coddled
Were heard to say,
"That is okay,"
"For it badly needs to be remodeled"

Does Nox hold sway where you sit or lay,
or stand blanketed in deep fog's clime?
Where perfectly proportioned physical deformity holds 
in substantive and coddled awe' sublime.   

Shrouded in shot from fusil's beautiful dark pall,  
far from heredity's nameless and shameless hall. 

We...

He was laboriously looking 
for that one perfect peach
with soft salubrious skin, 
radiantly rounded with
robust, rubicund curves,
crying to be caressed, 
coddled and cuddled.
Her bashfully blushing rosy red 
cheeks on pale peach skin
immediately caught his attention
as she sat right there for the picking!
Oh, to kiss those...

"Immaculate"

I’d like to write something 
beautiful for once,
divinely dripping with honey
and milk that washes white 
like stamen juice over the uncut,
the bees all come to drink 
the heady dew, 
stroking their black down 
over dusky aubergine-eyed 
blue forget-me-knots,
the nots touched by thorns
those slippery rosary beads...

Dapper Drac had a panic attack, and topping off the dread
His trendy boots clashed with his suit, plus his white shirt was stained red

Sure his hair was right, and dynamite, as seen in the mirror
Yet to dress, without finesse, in his book, was a vile...

AWAKENING

Sleep and slumber, dreams of wonder... weaving,
morning’s vacuum broke the spell
Pitted pillow, note of parting... leaving,
“from your friend, a fond farewell”
Sunrise throbbing, twilight aching... grieving,
daydreams, flashbacks, nightmares knell
Pale phantasms, visions sneaking... thieving,
plot to fill the empty shell

Fractured sky bolts, billows bursting... rumbling,
