Best Experienced Poems

I'm searching for a new man.
			(My lemon quit on me.)
			I'm a discerning seeker.
			(The smallest dent, I'll see!)

			I want a younger fellow;
			(Low mileage is a must.)
			Required is great get-up-and-go
			(an engine with no rust).

			He should desire me in his lap.
			(Seat warmers feel so good.)
			He's gotta be in...

I was asked to read some poetry down at an old folks home,
Where they'd lost need for toothbrushes, and naturally a comb,
That is the blokes of course, who are gummy, stooped and bald, 
And closing on a hundred years, which most can't be recalled.

The women...

Eat shrooms til everythings pretty, pop molls til your caring and witty.
Smoke trees til your chill as the breeze, and drink to forget what you need.
Do all the trippys to think like the hippie, make sure your an expert and not be so picky.
Just let...

Emotions scuttle through me
Like clouds across a sky
One minute I feel glee
The next I feel I'll die

My face is red and blotchy
My eyes feverishly bright
I know if I saw clearly
My face would be a fright

My hair feels like a birds nest
My memory's shot to hell
My...

I was born before the eight track
A very long time ago
Our telephone had a party line
There wasn't anyone we didn't know

My neighbor wasn't Fred Flinstone
Contrary to popular belief
Our women wore those mini skirts
Instead of an old fig leaf

Our microwave oven was a heated rock
That was...

Could feel the smiling and risen sun all gleeful and gay,
It had ushered  in me a beam of energy earlier today.

Could sense now at twilight it chuckle at the rising milky white moon,
And softly in me restore its light to make me excite and...

While life was in its spring, a stream
in full spate down memory lane from
a bygone time and place that experience
articulated into voices of poetry.
Love and desire,whose shadow ripple on
rich in melody, a poesie of flowers
floating on summer air and yet..
such conceits can be but a...

Warehouse workers are needed right away.
Dishwashers are wanted in the kitchen today.
They need laborers who are in a transition.
Openings exist for many a position.

They need someone new to fry chickpeas.
There is an opening in a deli to slice cheese.
More help is needed to bus a...

Do not tell me you know how i feel
my feelings do hurt and are horribly real
have you experienced all the pain and 
the strife of the heart wrenching 
chapters that make up my life

No you haven't as our lives are unique
some happy, some funny and...

tree roots search for nutrients and water
effortlessly sliding around barriers

(A lone voice whispers)

Have you emptied your soul late at night

All alone

Wrote words to lay on top of the white marble altar of poetry's grey tombstone

If you have

You're not one of the crowd who follows fashion and directions from secret social conditioners

For in that hour...

I started life as a grain of sand,
But knew I’d find a way to expand,
And always being a bit of a rebel,
I joined with others and became a pebble,
And as I grew and then took stock,
I realised that I had become a rock,
And as I...
