Best Damnably Poems

I sit alone as evening claims the day,
with common crow my only confidant.
I watch the sun sink slowly in the bay
while musing life and love so nonchalant.

As night descends upon my humble soul,
my furtive feelings ponder kinship lost.
I’m missing precious love that makes me whole;
my...

As in my garden blooms a beauty fair, 
a crimson rose to brighten up this day.
The dew drops cleanse her face in morning air, 
but hiding ‘neath her leaves her thorns betray.

While lying next to you in spousal bed
I gaze upon your sleeping face this...

When does ambiguously free verse
also become emphatically political verbing verse?

I was emphatically reading pieces
ambiguously written 
about my sons,
to my oldest son's girlfriend.

The longer I read
the more she cried.

Now it had been my hope
and passion
to become the next Kurt Vonnegut
of PolyCulturing Healthy Outcome Design,
or at least...

Darling Dissolve
You, my darling, let love dissolve
You let time wash it away
Now I am left alone here to say
How much I loved you yesterday
When there was still both you and me
And what I thought might come to be
But now I am left alone
Sinking in a...

It’s awake
I hear it shake
From the inside out
I hear it shout
It’s losing self-esteem
And now I hear it scream
I hear it ‘s tormenting yell’
Advising us that the alternative to this is Hell

See the man cut down another tree
Oh well, one less for my grandson to trim
From...

A TELEPHONIC TONIC

I can’t believe she remained on the telephone~
For years she’d been telling me to leave her alone~
But my heart did the dialing while I could hardly speak~
Words etched from her beauty for a lady so sleek~

Willowy was she as we picnicked under a...

ERRANTLY ERRANT

There once be a pair
They met in a park
In the darkness of despair
And suddenly a spark

But an errant flame this would turn out to be
Alas, a lady’s lad and  a lovely lass to see
‘twas on a night two wouldst come to agree
Each wouldst...

Gott Oh Mighty,Trump iz on the Warpath!

Das Don Auld (can hard tank
tucker son of Carl, and leave
landscape barren) calling out
rigged ken tuckered hoarfrost race,
viz demolition derby presaging

death to White Anglo Saxon
democracy DOMS (delayed
onset muscle soreness)
minions decry diplomacy,
crass denunciation of
Stacey Abrams

liberally Apple eyeing jingoistic rhetoric
declare defamation...

TRY OR DIE
It’s awake
I hear it shake
From the inside out
I hear it shout
It’s losing self-esteem
And now I hear it scream
I hear it ‘s tormenting yell’
Advising us that the alternative to this is Hell

See the man cut down another tree
Oh well, one less for my grandson...

A TELEPHONIC TONIC

I can’t believe she remained on the telephone~
For years she’d been telling me to leave her alone~
But my heart had done the dialing while I could hardly speak~
Words etched for refinement and beauty so sleek~

Willowy was she as we picnicked under a tree~
But...

Lemme titillate thee
regarding myself daily soldiering thru breastworks
read out loud to experience where dangerfield lurks
twenty five years a husband unknown marital perks
bachelorhood to die for, cuz warp and weft
courtesy webbed and wedded bliss
incorporates life threatening quirks.

Hazardous beyond belief
analogous crossing a landmine good grief
ensnared yours truly...

............. for Kate


Somehow it seems colder
roll on summer seems to have missed its mark
and even as clearest blue the sky is cosseting a chill
and so the temperature set itself against my will

How does the sun dim and falter
although still as bright
its warmth in the colours...

Gott, oh mächtig, Trump iz on the warpath again!

Glad for birth write to express views
aware cunning linguists 
will apply figurative screws  
in an effort at blatant mud slinging ruse
exercised courtesy mail in ballots, 
or electorates standing in queues 
who the previous Sunday 
possibly fervently...

What is it about late fall evening fog? 
The vapors almost squeeze without touching 
It's so damnably beat the wall lonely 
and that time dragging on and on with each step taken 
Getting too wet to see beyond the next glow of street light 
like...

Booby trapped within apartment unit b44

Circa August 18th, 2021
three bajillion years ago to date,
nevertheless I count blessings, 
so please do not hashtag me 
as worse than an ingrate 
or one whose dire financial straits 
attributed to flimflam scam artist,
who fleeced me and when he/she 
asked...
