Best Hoofed Poems

REVISED OCTOBER 16, 2019



New Jersey’s cloven-hoofed devil 
makes his way to the jetty
beneath the blanket of twinkling stars, anguish unabated 
his appetency growing stronger each day

her song rose like mist upon salty tide
creating an irresistible allure
perhaps a mermaid so fair
can be the auspicious boon he...

Circe, Goddess of magic, nymph, witch, bold enchantress
daughter of Helios, Sun God, her father, can you imagine? ... 
let me paint you further, the tree of this wacked-out family canvas -

I've spanned these banks for many years,
made evident in the rusty tin adorning my roof 
My sides are scarred , colors been stripped
from angry storms through hundreds of seasons.

My river bed ran dry back in late October
then Winter snows frosted my planks 
but I was...

Grant me pancakes trolleys
Rocket-fueled swingsets
Marmalade mountains
with high-crusting cream.
Seattle strings its polite passers
Among misting choirs of clouds,
So begging I go for dixie cups of chili
Steaming block by block, as a harsh July
Has every fourth day blue.
I wish for weather with wiggling hues
of pinks, rouge, and mauve,
Landscaped...

"All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others."
—George Orwell

A dozen of chickens and a number of horses, a cat and a raven, a few cows and other hoofed ones—all of which are perfectly silent.  Poor wolfie. He can't even find...

We dragged the slopes to our feet.
On the summit, we burnt our clothes
for wood and there shuffled our feet
in the hush of the falling snow.
 
We had come out of the scuffed grass.
 
With one look back in unbelief
exhuming the long trek

The old man lived out by the desert, selling postcards and gasoline,
He sold road-maps and Navajo silver, and True West magazine.

And under his Gabby Hays beard beat the heart of a dashing young man;
With arthritic fingers he cleaned off my windshield…he once was a Dapper...

In Marshside Lea, there stood a tree, old in trunk and bough
'Twas long ago, this tale, although, it may still stand there now
And in its shade, the young sheep played as often did young lambs
Whilst in the eye, always nearby, of their respective dams

One sunny...

The horsemen have arrived on their menacing mares,
Whose stiletto-hoofed horseshoes click-clack on an achromatic static; 
Silent staccatos inside an ultraviolet light.

As vidalian-dampened eyes drip viridian veneers before the mounted steeds,
And embrocations of nuclear infernos' fumes simmer their cimmerian shades,
A penumbral eclipse gallops atop the sickened...

Cloven hoofed I am striding across sanctuaries lands
Not what was expected in their sanctimonious plans

Have I ever existed or am I a figment of their imagination
Or am I simply more perfect which angers their frustration

Me, I'm cloven hoofed and one thrown against their black
Is it...

Here comes Santy Claus, 
Here comes Santy Claus, 
Bringing you Santy Claus pain. 
Vicious old bastard 
with sharp-hoofed reindeer 
pullin' on the reins. 

Bells are ringing, 
children screaming, 
all is scary with blight. 
Say your prayers 
or hang by your hair 
cuz Santy Claus comes...

Rooster Lost His Crow

I wanted to enter her barn door
I wanted her farm to the very core
She said no, we lost rapport
Our tongues then went to war
Our bulls hoofed in ink galore
She fell deaf to my words implore
I wanted her farm to the very core
Our...

Pony Express Christmas Card Ride

You asked about our Christmas here.
Do reindeer pull the sleigh 
to carry loads of gifts and cheer?

Hoofed beasts we have, they eat fine hay
and in the rain or snow and cold
deliver Christmas cards, as gay

and warming as the cheer of old.
You’ll...
