Best Least Poems

Our hearts were a veritable slow dance

And I didn’t have to put my baby
In the corner

Our retinas
became diamond forged binds
In serenity’s lock

Dipping
Your tear ducts within our wishing wells

Never
Running
Dry

Our flesh
Bringing lukewarm elasticity
To gentle boil

Every graceful thrust
Mimicking fireplace embers
Under cabin’s winter moon

Until my deep sigh
Embedded paragraphs
Within “Dear...

To the tune of.. “These are a Few of my Favorite Things“.

Bass boomers spreading their mis’ry in traffic
Craving attention and driving me spastic,
Not caring an oodle for anyone else,
This **** will drive one to poor mental health!

Cops who ignore them and keep right on driving,
Passing...

I feel like a star
cast amongst this ambiguousness
of sky
and I'm hanging on
to vacant air

as all the saplings
and gawkers
slurp on lattes
and wish upon my misery

alas, when one of those whims
chooses to make itself
come true,
I'll shoot like a meteor

into nothing

but a tittle of dust
flickering
in someone else's dream...

Most people are like electricity,
they prefer to travel down the path of least resistance
They don't want to get involved too much,
they like to be bystanders, sitting on the fence

They don't really want things too hard,
don't wanna struggle like a salmon goin' upstream
Just make it easy...

LEAST WE FORGET THE GIRLS’ KILLING CRY
(Apropos The Boko Haram Girls)

                i
We no longer hear
the screams of the young girls
nor the whimpering
of their little brothers—
nor the echoes of falling tears
of...

Unsure our world is now, and folks have fear.
From rules imposed on us we dare not veer.
Some say the days foretold by John the Seer
(when chaos soon will reign) are nearly here.
I dread the horrors that might next appear.

Our govenments are puppets; what they do
is...

i was created, much like a poem
not through love, rather penned
on a blank sheet of thoughtless words
that were spit out in darkness, devoid of feelings
wallowing in emotions that left me numb to touch
as i watched them ink me from the pools of crimson tears
that riddled...

Queen Erselott ruled the living room
Wearing her gold crown and lilac perfume
Her sister Queen Mae, self-imposed ruler too
Was jealous of Ebony, told that cat to shoo.
But Erselott crowned Ebony Queen of the loo
Let her clean out their litter, the least she could do....

She never leaves the light on for me
Or at least, that’s what I thought
As I rounded the darkened hallway

I reached down and petted 
my birthday present from last year.
I kinda wanted a dog
Or at least, that’s what I thought

I heard her gasping, crying out
As though...

some are different 
those with handicaps
handicaps is the strange word
we call to hinder
holdback and impede
burden or limit
where are the rules
those which say these
are the restricted 
and we normal
a gripping fills my chest
when i watch a crowd
react to one we label
physically challenged
this human race
depending on shortcomings
to...

Time does our earth presence sever
But the post office is clever  
And offers for sale
For its eternal mail  
A stamp that is good forever


Author's note: The idea that anything associated with this planet will be consumed "forever" is peculiar and laughable.  It...

Hey, Mr. Least Popular!
Self-proclaimed man of the people you are
Rode on a grassroots movement to the White House,
but who was the man who drove the getaway car?

Hey, Mr. Populist!
Somehow you won with the least popular vote
Electronic voodoo got the job done,
but who was the man...

Original nursery rhyme ~ Old King Cole

“Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three.
Every fiddler he had a fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle...

When you least expect it
triumphs of dreams
formulate within your daily routine

They appear amidst
mundane circumstances
delivering what you'd fantasized

about in extraneous beliefs
elevating to grandiose heights
of mystical perplexity

parallel to expectations' desires.
Perennial tricks illustrate
mesmerizing thoughts, sights.

It's all mixed together
making it hard to delineate
reality from fiction

But you surmise
what is beckon...

Once upon a time there was a girl. 
A girl who had  a good heart. 
She tried to help everyone. 
Everyone except herself. 
Once upon a time there was a boy.
A boy with a good mind. 
He thought of ways to change the world....
