Best Finessed Poems

...to the finessed fowl
humming by my ear      tell me
Did anyone ever tell you
just how glad they are
to have you here?

Poignant eyes, azure crown,
that lightasapenny frame...
(how monstrous we must appear!
our human eyes like soccer balls)
We have only God to blame...

...and our...

suckled into gentle sleep 
   softness
 finessed
      understood 
waves lap
        cares drift
 seaweed untangles 
     lets us be 
   each grain of sand fits together

Angry acts begin. 
Harmful words would never flare, 
Count to ten then once again. 

Wildfire spreading fast, 
With mistaken, muddled acts. 
Smokey aftertaste will last. 

Then finessed assaults, 
Vainly exit, pride intact, 
Casting blame, the other's fault.

Friendships fall head-long, 
Disarrayed in stumbled steps. 
Puzzled reasons...

Once agone moments in time
        she was poetry in motion,
   'til she pirouetted herself
         onto dusty versed shelves
     midst old clouded rhymes

Like an artist with canvas, paint, and brush,
     how then to illustrate (for you) in words
and in rhyme the throes of a bipolar rush?     
     For bookish and reserved, but manic, nerds
(like me),...

He was poetically intolerant,
she thought herself an Emily
writing sonnets 'how do I love...'
he indulged her feeble whimsies
in light of other finessed talents, 
essentially, larks amidst boudoir's  
uncommonly emboldened expertise...

Tantalizing paws upon her finessed bust
Potent mindful deception over her anatomy
Forced wrench of her vibrant razzmatazz cowlick
A metamorphic transformation within
Dissonant mar amongst her collar
Whomping breeze out of her bronchi
Writhing towards that holy grail
Orgasmic passion trickles down her spine
Contortionist psyche without a footprint of regret
A Woman...

Sparks of inspiration fueled frisson building, crafting, 
designing, a gamut of glorious finished products, that 
offset bereft reaction dad experienced at workplace. 
Seventh heaven for him found in the cellar at "Glen 
Elm", where freelance dadaist artist, this detail

I watched some DVD’s
Of Johnny Carson’s late-night show.
I’d seen a few but that was
Many, many years ago.

He really was hilarious.
His laughter was contagious;
And nothing really flummoxed him,
No matter how outrageous.

He sparkled with non-human guests – 
Orangutans and roosters.
Comedians considered him
The best of all their boosters.

As...

Having fear makes it difficult to love anybody
Including yourself
This night two naked women scream splashing in glee
In a pool filled with autumn rains

Beaded strands of translucent wet slip down each other's leg 
Each drop containing the full moon
Their glistening skin comes alive
Two bodies explore their...

Whilst cute quotations, and perfectly formed sentences have been reared and pampered on the lawns of perfectly kept estates...

These words...
These words have been sweat.
These words have been cried. 
These words have been bled. 

These words have been laboured into birth
And have now emerged pregnant with life. 
These words...

"Get a Grip"

It's fake or is legit
Get a grip
Live or quit
You either do or don't give a s***
It's all hit or miss
Being credible or illegitimate
Able to show and prove or another hypocrite
Biding time or lickety-split
Listen quick
Got some news, time I deliver it
One thing to be...

dear change,
i've seen you here before
scratching scoundrel
itching with mange-
the undomesticated mutt.
charmed, finessed (i am
the butt of your joke) (you
are the ash to my smoke)
dear change,
loop swoop pull & 
push- peering thru the
burning bush, all
teehees & cracking
leaves; oh dear
change, i only want to 
ask, will you...

I. DEFIANCE

Fie!
Must I
Explain why
I’m moved to sigh
Whenever I try
To contradict the lie
With which some people imply
That it’s wrong for me to defy
Those people or things I must decry?

II. CONFORMITY

They
Who may
Choose to play
By the rules stay
On track and obey
Them and try not to stray
From the path;...
