Best Ferment Poems
The ChildA child lights our way in life...
The greatest gift there is to be.
They suppress our selfish inclinations...
They set our passions free.
They give sense to our mortality.
They put narcissism in its place.
With a child... you're a family
To mark your time and space.
There's nothing more unsettling
Than those...

Slides and StairwaysSomewhere in the pretty petty imaginary illusion of delusion
There lies a truth an edifice of search between obtuse confusion
Windows like brick walls and concrete blocks birthing the light
Nails to be nailed screws to be screwed with monumental sight
A life a building fortress sand castle beach...

Onion
the delicacy of friendship
I found you in the flowers
Standing tall we become one
Looking down from gangly towers
Squash, you burn, you pillage, son.
Follow me you say in tongues
Thy shallow mind reveal me tell
Whisper lies clean load the guns
I feel the burn I rot in hell
Friend...

The Tragic Life of a LeafYou start out green and new, as a brand new shoot, nurtured by a ‘Loving Mother Tree,’ and surrounded by lush, growing sibling leaves all
In relative, naive Harmony.
You mature and grow into The Most Beautiful Version of Yourself, peaking a little too early, given the...

Psalm ContestPsalm of the Heretics Saved
Oh, God!
You’ve taken my hands;
the blood spills onto the heathen soil of my birth!
The jaguar cannot help me.
The mighty pyramid rising past the trees
is a pride you’ve turned to shame.
You sent your messengers on canvass wings
and they descended from the...

Zombie Love Sonnet 3Shall I liken you to a corpse bouquet?
You are certainly ripe and more fetid.
The fond zephyrs of May waft your decay
Up the addled noses of us wretched
Hordes famished for flesh, lurching on the moor,
And me amongst them clawing to your scent
Putrix beyond the...

Autumn RoyalCome my love past the beauty of the hill
Ablaze with ginger sunset and fall fire
On a fast downhill wagon hayride thrill
In festive saffron and amber attire
Celebrating with tambourine and lyre
Autumn’s gift of new harvest abundance
With an improvised Abu Barn floor dance
Circling around ginger and umber...

SweetheartsHow I miss what I never had
Long hot kisses kinetic cranberry flavored
As I struggle with my need to breathe
Every breath in and out for you
The deepest fuzzy feelings ferment
In every fiber of my body my soul
We are so close yet so far
Long distance love...

Salvation For Loose Tongues GrantedSnakes in loose tongues
Proclaim one message, doing the opposite
When lie bangs and sty clangs
Identify and typify the hypocrite
Who declares faith in one moment
Swims in seas of sin
Inviting the ferment of torment
The hypocrite in his din
Can’t shove away
Despite claims to sainthood
That conscience can’t slay
As sin neighbourhood
Captures...

SpasmsThese quakes and shivers of mine,
Are they tales forebode?
Language spat, drool untold,
Encrypted bits by line.
Does the anchor sit?
Cracks in dorsal fins,
Pinch the nodes whose nervous system knows,
Better than to think.
Juniper pine, ferment pepper mend,
The ache of later hours,
To quench the essence ever tends,
To that...

What If My BeautyWhat If My Beauty
How do I enter my poem into Beauty Contest?
I thought that all beauties had to be bathing.
What if my beauty was to run abundant?
Me and my poems people thought were repugnant
And always on other Soupers I had relied
On ways all of my...

The Earth's CoreI left the Earth and walked to the Moon passing the Sun.
Along the way a Star I did meet full of treasures and fun.
The Star had a story to tell so I listened carefully so keen.
It told me of Earth’s history and mysteries setting a...
