Best Enquirer Poems

Spring comes
Quietly--
Not with the bleating of lambs or
The tweeting of birds or the
Beating of butterfly wings

Spring comes
Silently--
Celtic through the Neolithic stones,
Unheralded by peering shadow-seekers
Rummaging around on the Second of
February, and unannounced by a
Banner on the front page of the
National Enquirer…

Unpresaged by pregnant April 
Showers,
Spring comes--

Alive

I've been collecting ear wax
Since the belly button lint dust fire went bad
I lost all my dignity in that fiasco
So ear wax is all that I have left

Believe you me, it's not easy
Coming up with another scheme
After burning the whole town down to the ground
To...

May I be so bold as to allow me to pet your li'l wee sniggler

Forgive me for being so forward

But I couldn't help noticing you have tied a big red bow on it

Is there some hidden significance to this addition

It really wasn't necessary you know

Coz...

I made a wish upon a star and really got burned
I made a wish upon a star and left Madonna breathless
I hitched my wagon to a star but forgot my spacesuit
The stars in my eyes turned out to be black holes

I couldn’t rise to the...

A stone bridge in the middle of a wood, static in eternity, grand in height and darkened by the growing night. 
Upon it sits a man, his legs and mind yearning for the ground below. He is a good man.
His mind overthrown by rage, his...

It wasn’t her looks
which made her so unappealing
No, ma’am ... 
that girl is a certified cutie pie

It wasn’t her demure charm
that caused man-child rebel teens
to sissy shy away
No, sir ... that young, yet-to-be 
buxom woman,
cocooned in a size 5 butterfly body,
is so Spanish Harlem Rose...

People need free societies, but I am not referring to the deadly monstrous global pandemic! They need freedom of expression on line and/or in person.
And they need the freedom of speech coupled by a free and impartial press and news media! Freedom of the press...

(Played to the tune, “When Sly Calls,”
by Michael Franks)

When Trump tweets,
Mo’ scowls furrow

When Trump tweets,
the scandals grow

As rumors shake,
idle sits the Boss
Bankrupt morality
is the grifter cost

When Trump tweets,
the rubles spin

When Trump tweets,
the dictators win

Decorum falls,
indecency begins
And on Fox tv the jokers grin
to complete the mockery...

Friday the thirteenth, (September
tooth house hind nineteen)
dark shadows winessed scads of bats
(base sic cully lobbing soupy Matzo balls)

eyeing yours truly as seldom seen
human sacrificial cuisine,
which dime a dozen story true story
red within tabloid National Enquirer 'zine.

Minus blood sucking mammals more averse
than bill collectors or insurance...

There they go down the street 
Even before they had anything to eat
During this tradition that has no admission 
People have a wide-eyed appeal
 Since this party is truly the real deal 
When marchers march, dancers dance, and balloons fly knowing they are there to...

Hollywood's dirty laundry exposed in the Enquirer
We drool with anticipation at the juiciness we acquire
Why do we revel so
As in smut, we wallow
It sure isn't difficult for our minds to decipher...

Cover your face they say
Black lives matter
Protests on the rise

Did I become rip van winkle?
Have I woken up to madness?
Defund the police and attack them

Push over statues and burn them
Shooting and killing a one year old child
It is my hope

That this is all fake news

But,...

Upon reflection looking back

Being I as a person as you yourself are

The past is a mixed bag no matter
who you are

It wasn't all good likewise I couldn't
have been all that bad either

Especially when it comes to the bad
they more than any other probably
weren't

And the older...

Gonifs and gossips revisited

since originally being crafted
approximately half dozen
dirty deeds done dirt cheap years ago...

Abound and lurk
within every nook and cranny
analogous to some annoying pest
harmless though one reside here,
when off his meds goes berserk
here at Highland Manor Apartments.

They snatch and snitch packages -
meant for other...
