Best Fief Poems

In fact, at first, 
By fiction’s thirst,
To thrust my sight in curse,
‘Tween nurse and verse,
For better, for worse,
At least I can rehearse.

Before the former:
A stench in fallacy’s flame,
Neurosis is but a game. 
After all the latter’s the same:
Whether I meld or maim. 

When the flames...

Beard or bard? queried chief counsel, The Spit. 
Bared wit: "alike drunkn greif".
Berkspeller loose in the fief!
Beware, none sings from his lIEf......

TOYSHOP WINDOW GAZING

A wooden castle with windows and a drawbridge wide
Which could hold a regiment of toy soldiers inside
And a turret with a big red dome  -
No point in even asking to take it home

Then, each time we passed the toy shop
I just had...

Limerick crochetés: Once Tamil Promotion Director

Once Tamil Promotion Director
Excised wise Japanese co-founder
Called him names like rogue thief
Set himself up as Chief
All Dravidian Tamil Editor

He posed as the Royal Ancestor
Even of the Chola* Emperor
Slave-drove workers in fief
Used savants make belief
Such the Tamil Highness Publisher

He caged talents...

War is just a means tae a’ end
Deaythe’s the price o’ life.

fillin the gullet o’ Deaythe’s strife.

War is just a means tae a’ end
Deaythe’s the price o’ life
Power swings War’s blood red swuird
the weak an’ the old suffice.

It was a small school community, 
Close and cliquish, but a special one,
For physically disabled people, kids,
And so sometimes it was fun.

But we were paired informally, by the school’s ethos done,  
For those serious friendship conversations;
About disability and our societal position,
And for considering what...

Hailed through the ages as the staff of life,
It takes many forms in each town and fief.
There's white bread and brown bread, biscuits and scones,
And hoe cakes and muffins, crescents and corn pone.

When setting a table, with china, replete,
Without buns or rolls it's just not...

A river dividing two disparate lands, 
Perspectives so contrasting, separate they stand: 
A physical land, full of logic and sense, 
And one metaphysically deep and intense.
	
The domain of one, with logic infused, 
Acknowledges facts scientifically proved.
The world thus supported is solid and sure
Enriching, evolving a...

(Poetry) let it thicken as it stands.

Let it be beautiful, unharnessed verbal rage or 
song or deed, or graven image set in stone, where 
walls fell around some demagouge in 
some ill-remembered time.

In our arrogance we place this 
joyous thing in

I am The Artiste. 

I draws lines by cutting carcasses, among other things.

I am the crazed dancer, down pouring a diaspora of red essence and entrails as I sporadically spin.

I am the antagonist; the anti-hero jester with a ricin covered knife.

It’s poisoned point thrusted through...

AUTUMN    COLORS


Trees, and endless squadrons of their fellows,       
In full dress with their medals, reds and yellows: 
An army in bronze and topaz uniform,
Ready and waiting for orders to fall in and conform; 
And in fall...

Here is the secret monologue of many:

"I am loyal, a servant most true!
That is until...I am not paid in full,
Then I turn to tattle, and to trash
Your trust with treason, high and foul!
As dreaded foes tread freely upon you,
I will make merry in your misery!"

"You...

A poet of the troubled soul
A life on who the devil took his toll
A happy bouncing bundle of joy
Who turned into an angry stepson boy
Dear Boddah, will you be my friend? 
And always will until the end? 
Ma hates pa and pa hates ma
Everyone's sad,...

War is just a means tae a’ end
Deaythe’s the price of life.
Famine’s black horse 
fills the gullet of Deaythe’s strife.

War is just a means tae a’ end
Deaythe’s the price of life
Power swings Wars red sword
the weak an’ young suffice.
