Best Extents Poems
Give a Man a Sea-KittenGive a man a sea-kitten,
And you feed him for a day.
Teach a man how to sea-kitten,
And PETA will make him pay.
I guess there isn’t much to say,
We’re gonna eat them either way,
Because the message here being conveyed
Does not have to do with fish per se.
Instead...

her eyes are gray, foreboding
her eyes are gray, foreboding
reflecting the wrath of Zeus
yet therein lies the charm of Hera
who silences Olympian thunderbolts
she is sharing a tenebrous introspect
the smile withdrawn, judgmental thought
an ego that must be fed, expense of others
aloofness brings happiness no more
i am lost in the beauty of...

Oh, My Beloved AfricaOh, my Beloved Africa
Why are you always so behind time
Why is it that the world always has to be miles ahead
For you to follow in the trail of dust they leave behind
Oh, my Beloved Motherland
Why is it that these sons and daughters of yours
Are always...

What does this vastly misunderstood word mean to you?
Too what ends?
May we seek?
Who(m) may guide us?
Endless deliberation (spiss spiss spiss)
Debated and glorified by us all
Beloved; instilled among (a) core integrity
Coddled and looked upon/after with parental instinct
Construed through...

The Best Poet EverWouldn't it seem to persist an unspoken personal longing for perfection?
Is insinuated toward poetic supremacy; obviously . . .
I would feel confident in generalizing the presence within us all—to achieve god-like greatness.
I must say, that unlike an athletic sport, such as baseball or golf, being...

Mother of EmptynessUnfamiliar grounds scare my emotions,
Hand which holds me safe no longer exist,
Each glance behind reveal vacant spaces
where are you Mom?
The emptiness I feel around me is vast,
Familiar warmth no longer extents to wipe tears,
Very routine footsteps never walks alongside,
Where are you Mom?
Bond that...

My Retire AttireMy pants are tucked snug beneath the socks on my feet.
I also wear gloves tucked beneath my long sleeves.
I wear a full facial mask of fabric that allows me to breath
and then I retire for the evening and go to sleep.
This isn't some fetish or...

Royals of EmotionsRoyals of Emotions
As a confusing annoyance grew inside my head;
A silent torment stormed and throttled as I lay at night a mist my bed.
The old unforgivable and the new unforgettable;
Not noticing what's in front of you, beautiful, and what's pivotal.
Feeling of barriers and strong...

Ballad
The Unpresidential Man of the HourA man unpresidentially known for the showerhead
Msholozi, the man in charge of singlehandedly running a nation into crisis
With him at the helm the public anxiously watches as the state of things degenerate
The rand has slumbered, corruption trivialised and unemployment popularised
Numeric’s play trickery on his unknowing...

Ridiculous Picture WarPhotos bomb social media.
While
Terrorists destroy livelihoods.
War rages from within.
Crashing rathe upon distant strangers; us...
Pictures reveal this through social networking.
A quite distant war becomes real—too extents.
Photo bombs drop atop crooked faces.
Suicide bombs disfigure and gravely injure a far out man and a groovy woman.
However,
These...

Not Patriots--Amoeba TypesThe insurrectionists of January 6 are NOT patriots!
They are criminals of the lowest amoeba-types
Most patriots were at work improving the G.N.P.
Not carousing and malingering to air their gripes.
Can you imagine an American president colluding,
Encouraging rabble-rousers to storm the Capitol,
Giving tacit approval to hanging his vice-president?
In...

Ode To the Curious ManOde To The Curious Man
O young man so inquisitive,
What compels you to endeavor to such high extents?
Will you never stop dreaming as long as you live,
Climbing the steep peaks of knowledge until you are spent?
O young man, what drives you so?
Have your achievements not broken...

Ode
The Owl of InsignificanceThe Owl of Insignificance
It happened on the eve of May
From a dream awoken so tense
As the pounding of his lonely heart
Brought rhythmic relief to the silence
As he listened to the beating thoughts
Ideas began to make sense
So he pondered puzzle pieces
All the what’s and why’s of...
