Best Deflate Poems
The Monroe MoonIn glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon hunger;
their dewy eyes blurred by the sawdust of stardust
pseudo-princess-pleasure-seekers
—drama daring
pinot-noir peignoir baring—
full of themselves and solar ignition
preen like...

Eight Winds.-eight winds come to break u-
..lead your mind astray...
-praise and blame deflate u-
..(but) light carries them away..
-fame and defamation-
..each follows one behind..

..both are just the same..

A Matter of ConvenienceA grove of magnolias perfumes the air
as they sit absorbed in one another's gaze,
she with her crochet and he with his collectibles
uneasy in their pleasure in the evening of their years.
Lawyers control their affairs like vultures slavering
their prey, waiting to swoop when the timing...

Verse
Ludix-Rym -Five Decades An AdultMy first ten years (or childhood), I'd say were pretty great.
although my confidence could easily deflate.
To be a teen - For this I could not wait!
I wanted a nice boyfriend and loved that first big date!
I learned a lot, like how to watch my weight.

Feel of Character
I still recall
I still feel
Feel the pain
Feel the strength
Strength of mind
Strength of spirit
Spirit kept me alive
Spirit that fought
Fought as an underdog
Fought against chance
Chance to breathe
Chance to shine
Shine to heal
Shine like stars
Stars that delight
Stars that inspire
Inspire to create
Inspire self-belief
Self-belief ends doubt
Self-belief helps to succeed
Succeed against setbacks
Succeed...

Seven Last Words of JesusI.Jesus Spoke to His Father
Jesus spoke to His Heavenly Father
Raising up to heaven His ardent pray’r
With deep bleeding wounds that he’d all endured,
Still hang on the cross to make our soul pure.
Words He uttered were for world forgiveness

Crown of Sonnets
Big EgoHe's got a big ego,
he keeps offending people,
he scoops the same scoop,
and round and round we loop,
until the bubble pops
and the world sees him flop,
reject the rude,
deflate your ego,
swearing kills the mood,
you able?
I'm getting too cocky,
I could outbox Ali,
wrestle with The Rock
reach the top and...

Lyric
A Father Is - For ContestA father is….
….that grouchy, cursing guy
who just banged his head
on the cabinet door
getting under the sink
to fix a leak
…that “voice” resounding
off the walls
singing – off key,
talking to the dog,
whispering
“I love you’s”
to sleeping children.
…that firm hand
patting you on the back
when deserved,
a bit lower at times
also when...

Consistency"Consistency"
by: Eric L. Boddie
Contemplate, debate hate
Rate state magistrates
Mate great fates
Wait....date late
Deflate straight weight
Emancipate inmate traits
Dissipate irate gates
Indicate! Investigate! Litigate!
Incarcerate? Degradate? Incinerate?
Rejuvenate! Captivate! Demonstrate!
Innovate! Motivate! Fascinate!
Anticipate! Dedicate! Articulate!
Communicate....congratulate....exonerate
Infiltrate....penetrate....interrogate
Implicate! Detonate! Annihilate!
Separate? Segregate? ...

****** of Sadnessimages pour erratically
falling on eyelashes
tears fueling my pen
always the sadness
finds me waiting
wrenching emotion
twisting my heart
in a vice grip
can't stop the images
from driving me insane
raped and murdered eyes
pleading for children
drowned beneath
adult oppression
and addiction...

The Kitchen Not the CakeThere’s cheap lunches in the Barley Tavern,
each Wednesday, when after one o’clock.
I always chose to eat beer battered fish,
plus mystery cake a little bit ad hoc.
And this Wednesday here in the tavern,
Ted Austin joined me with his chosen dish,
which consisted of fruit salad in a...

Growing Old UngracefullyLord, have mercy! Who is that in the mirror I view?
That can't be me with the gray-haired hue!
Seems only yesterday I was a jaunty thirty-five,
Now, I'm reminded that I'm nearing seventy-five!
What are those brown spots on my hands and face?
On top of my pate, I...

Narrative
Words of LoveWords of love have many spills, harboring heartbreaks in their chills,
Birds of song upon yonder hills, singing sorrows amongst the daffodils…
We get lost within adoration, whirlpools drowning waters of flirtation,
Debris of love in mutation, with pendulous promises in rapid rotation…
Sunny days that slowly fade, lovers...
