Best Discourteous Poems

The mischievous Sandman runs a con game each night
After all the youngsters are safely tucked away
He dances into my room like an elfin sprite
He seizes my hand, tries to lure me outside to play

Then he’s bored on my shoulder at the computer
Threatens to throw pixie...

"The Dreams of Bedes" 

Jewels they found 
dripping like diamonds
from the overflowing viaducts 

scattered on the ground
at the feet of disbelief
barely seen 

shod lost and disobedient
counting the cost for 
unwanted inconvenience

those bridges burn now like
scarlet rubies blood read
the swords dipping

like dancers tango 
tripping machiavellian 
tomes...

A Statue Speaks

The morning takes it's first breath of daylight
Exhaling the sunrise that fills the sky with colored 
brilliance.                          ...

Arriving from unknown somewhere
He set up clinic in the market square
Declared he could cure any disease
Using herbal drugs of plants and trees
Townsfolk being credulous
Soon to his shop began to rush
Diabetics, rheumatics, asthmatics flooded
None over his degree brooded
A few weeks later, afloat was this rumor
He cures...

stubborn at the most
unfortunate moments
and quick with a
flabbergasted wit

he ambushes me from
the alleys in his mind
from behind
where four strikes
are uncommon
and frequently
commented upon

let's try to ignore the
inane flattery and take
into consideration
three screwdrivers deep
the fantastic premise this
is situated upon

apart-heid
has rendered my fat
and substance unfit
avocados are for brains
still,...

A school in a village without any pastel – 
Divine Child which never cares for riel 
Strives for excellence. Does propel
The children upwards and rebel
Against injustice gigantic or sea shell;
Strives to let its stars and carvings excel
With the artistic hands of its roselle. 
All play...

Sun shines on the righteous

President Donald Trump
Such a discourteous chump
Walked ahead of the Queen
This audacious gaffe should NEVER be seen

****According to Royal protocol, it’s considered rude to show your back to the monarch****

You cried when I walked away from us,
And decided to reposition forward to another.
You thought I vacant on the covetousness,
Then to reside in my secure stages of love.
You wept when you instituted that my being,
Cheated on you with a licentious woman,
Then to coerce my lustful...

The union-management talks reach stalemates in their sessions.
Our representatives are attempting to gain concessions.
If we do not obtain better working conditions and a pay hike,
we see no other alternative but to go on strike.

On the slopes of Olympus Mons, we descend underground.
Inside this mine, deposits...

I cope with commercials 
that sit on my head, 
that wallop my westerns, 
and leave them for dead. 
They shoot me and loot me 
till I go to bed. 

I scream at a stop light 
that steps on my brake, 
that raises my hackles 
till...

traffic is traveling in all directions
I do not miss the frantic feel of driving
the stress of wondering
when they are going to kill me

every car a potential bullet
large and mean
discourteous and rude
choosing to stay home is an easy choice...

I was reaching inside my closet for my 
most favorite purple
sparkly glitzy top from a Vegas resale shop today.

Suddenly I knew something was different.
I was not alone in my closet.
I looked down, into the yellow eyes of a sixteen foot alligator.
“Hi,” I said cheerfully, although...

She’s like a monkey in the morning,
searching through her fleas.
She’s got molding mashed potatoes
where others keep their keys.
Her cloths are an invitation to
voice a mother’s sense of dread
“That’s what you’re gonna look like son
if you wear your cloths to bed.”
Her shopping cart is over flowing...
