Best Designer Poems

I dated a designer named miss Quiche
And walked her chow at the end of its leash
But she got irate
On our second date
When my tchotchke got too close to her niche

Although in a week she asked for me back
And let me polish her two bric-a-brac
Then below...

Genesis means the beginning
                                   Root word gene, the blueprint of life

The apparent President-elect
and her closest advisers
gather to build a Cabinet
that might survive four years of dwindling hope.

Thanks so much for being here.
Let's begin with a time of silence,
gathering our listening voices and thoughts,
hopes and therapeutic vision....

As this time ends,
I'm wondering if someone might help me...

the daughter of a miller abducted, exiled, held 
locked as prisoner didst bawl
achingly, effusively, indubitably murmured plaintively 
quite riotously didst call
out for help, when stalked with facing john deere reaper 
with nary a blues clue how to drawl,
a gentle southern twang the heap of straw,...

Permacultural Designers
are taught to multiply the number
and networking depth
of relationships
between species
and organisms
and systems
and cooperative economic networks,
rather than the simpler adding functions
of traditional agriculture;
Where,
if you plant eight crops,
you get eight maybe interdependent functional relationships,
and maybe not so much,
especially as we learn to add the evolutionary trajectory

I have my favorite 
Vintage designer watch
I wear it everywhere
It has not worked for many years
But it is right for me   
Twice a day 

I glance at it from time to time 
To see if the hands of time may lurk 
You see...

I say I'm a designer of systems, plans
Man's
Parts that stand together, set in place to serve
Trees and planets, too, which are unplanned by us
The observant, wise man
Tries to understand
Name the parts, pistil and stamen
Rocks, eskars
Elements.

Winter is shuddering to an end, mud roads
Cardinal pairs
Robin flocks return...

Is it possible to ever attain
a truly objective evaluation?

     A beachwear fashion designer
     and a post-mortem surgeon,
     sitting as judges at a beauty
     pageant swimsuit competition,

I need just a touch of blue the young designer said.
In her hair?
No
On her lips?
No.
Contacts?
The designer looked exasperated - on her forehead. Paint it.
We thought this was strange but we did it, to please her.
This magazine cover won all kinds of awards.
A fluke of youth?
No....

In this world, so many people focus on name brands and designers.
You want designer this, designer that. You want the best, the newest, the most expensive. You want the car, the yacht, the designer clothes, the designer purses, the designer shoes… You want the 2.3...

The push-pull that provides rapport
Could faith in designers restore
More sense of our choice
Tempts us to rejoice
And make love not war with their door...

Sporting my victimization
After carefully shopping around
I select a tasty flavor
And I wear it with a frown

The hollowness assuages
Quantum power drains from me
I love being a victim
And wallowing in my misery

I get to avoid thinking
As I play the "poor me" game
And I get to be as...

It's the weekend (Friday night). Lisa and I are hangin’, music’s playing, and we’re rummaging through my suitcase, for an outfit option, for me, tonight. Call it cliché, but we like going out - and getting ready to go out with a friend, beforehand, is...
