Best Collar Poems

In the stillness of my room  I lay in bed
arms snugged tightly around my pillow
turned  side-ways facing moon and light
But it is not the burnt orange moon 
but glowing embers in his eyes that warm my vacant night.
Tonight ,I see him  just...

How does your part-crooked smile
Break out with such elegant style?
Subtle flaws modeled graceful and true
Like a gown woven just to fit you......

The work I do is not the most prestigious one,
from four to twelve thirty I drive...until my shift is done;
a forklift driver rarely takes a coffee-break, 
and being courteous and helpful to customers means a lot.


My long-life dream was to be a songwriter like Andrew...

I recently went to court to show
a supposed voice of reason
paperwork that had been falsified
by one within his own profession;
to my "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit" surprise,
the only real voice of reason was mine -
the pristine-looking image 
of a con artist, theatrical...

This bipolarness is killing me man
one moment I'm happy the nxet I'm sad
don't get us talkin bout the good book
scriptures you think you undersand, the ones
we mis-understood.
I thought the voices were devine dude
probaly one of you screwing around
with my head.

Pop my collar like Lafonze!

He’s exhausted, he just doesn’t know it. Trudging on, with wet feet he wears a groove into the same old places he goes every day.  His cynicism distilled by pre-dawn alarm clocks, cold floors, sore joints and blistered hands; filtered through layers of work...

I just got my paycheck,
when my workday was through,
saw how much was left after taxes,
I got the blue collar blues…
Maybe one day I'll go to college,
and get a white collar degree,
but by then I'll be too old,
to even go on a spending spree,
so I guess...

The blue-collar poet writes 
of life in truth

Hard work long hours
Sometimes twelve or more

 Spinning brief yarns about coworkers
Neighbors and friends and what
A pain The boss is

The blue color poet
shares good times and bad 

Takes you on journeys to imaginary
Lands and fanciful places 
you've never...

So many want only to decorate
Over life, dapple in shiny paint

From responsibility, they choose to excuse
Their delicate hands from such a bruise
They are irked, if asked to lurk
In the murk of work

They think they are owed a road
That is freely breezy
After all, it is easy
To...

There are many places in this world
where people tend to go,
to get a really good laugh
from a Great Comedy Show.

But My Friends I say to You
The Place to go is this,
Where you will hear The Famous Line,
"You Might be A Redneck If......."

Next on Stage there...

The moonlight crusaders,
Fabled hounds of the night,
Stalking the lands of the father,
As harbingers of the Third Reich,
Though hounds in title,
They are united in blood,
A purity forged by wont of reprisal,
Against the carnal natures of the descendants of mud,
By committing essential assassinations,
To eliminate the enemies of...

That look
of yours
that wearily
slides down
from the corners 
of your eyes
that come to
rest on your collar bones
How I wish
I could
take the
sadness away
wipe out those years
smooth out the
hardship I see awake under it all
what lays
there
in your dark circles
I know
I have walked under life too
and it
keeps pouring
upon us
like...
