Best Leathers Poems
Seagulls of Barry IslandThe sea gulls down at Barry aren’t your average little pests
They think they own the sea side and the all wear hooded vests
Their beaks are pierced with hoops and studs and drink from cans of bud .
Beady eyes watch picnics
They truly...

Poem 101Poem 101
Never knew just how it could happen to me
I’m so happy that’s how it was meant to be,
Just like a big funny red balloon that just got
Bit by a wild kangaroo, who was jumping and forgot,
Just how it ended up in my kitchen on...

The One In the Lavender DressShe looked peaceful in her lavender dress-
as I suppose she was. Eyes closed as if lost
in childhood dreams, small hands folded across her chest.
Her glasses resting beside her auburn strands,
lips pleading for color, her face dove white and soft.
Her funeral was on a Friday. April...

Death MaskDeath Mask
The man lay quietly prone as if sleeping,
All earthly cares laid aside for safe keeping.
A hushed silence with amplitude filled the room,
Pungent incense wafted amid flowers in full bloom.
The body now lay supine and never to arise again,
A storybook now closed on once upon...

Joan of Arc - Not For ContestJOAN OF ARC
She earned the name
this woman
this welder
full leathers
shield in place
stinger
wielded with precision
smooth, molten slashes
melding cold iron
into heated union.
Joan of Arc!!
Don’t look directly at her
you may be smitten
by her welders flash.

Fly-BoysWorld War I gave us the fly-boys
Who flew by the seat of their pants.
Many would never return from war
While others survived by chance.
Their planes were mostly canvas and wood
Gasoline, bullets, bombs and poison gas.
Every pilot carried his own pistol
Wearing leathers, scarf and goggles of glass.
Aviators...

Mid-Western Taco StandI frequent a little taco stand
Every time that I'm out west
With Elvis behind the counter
Dressed in his leathers best
Janice Joplin doing dishes
With Southern Comfort breath
Arguing with fry cook Jim Morrison
Over the best way of cheating death
Jimi Hendrix works the tables
That they have set...

Again It TwistsThough the father of the heathen family is a snob, the mother does blather with others and tethers their cattle with withered leathers whether the weather is warm or not. Neither she loathes any others nor fails to be blithe at the advent of the...

Motorcycle MamaFlying leathers with the wind,
engine roaring at top speed,
black-gloved hands gripping handles,
golden wings crown her glory,
she's no brother, she's no angel,
she's Motorcycle Mama,
hot to go at green light,
making heads turn at the
unusual sight.
Forty-five and still a looker,
sitting on her black-leather throne,
she's the queen...

Ballad
InfluenceI dream of a time
When I speak my mind
For mothers
For women
For
Her
But all of this dreaming
Has got me rethinking
Oh what
Sort of
Ruckus
I'd
Stir
What people would think
The size of the stink
I'd cause
With the
Right I
Deserve
So who has the right then
To stand up and...

Awaiting CollectionThe shoes display themselves in racks,
In lines of oddities without their partner shoe,
All kinds of people enter and to them make tracks,
To survey, try on these leathers of every hue.
The shoes wait not knowing who will want to buy
Unknown to them their future or even...

Misplacedlocating my frolic
lost somewhere along the way
discarded among my happy-go-lucky
brazen swagger
with teeth gritted for effect
dealing with the dust and dream
looking for my sizzle to find
used to fit snug, like a
a patented soft leather glove
been told I look lustful
in my leathers
ahhh . . .
found my misplaced...

Leaves of ParchmentTimes of old dwindle throughout captured in leaves of parchment sewed individually into bounded Moroccan, Spanish, and Russian Leathers, seeping the smells of old centuries wisdom enclosed.
Taking the mind into the beyond where great stories are forged and fantasies made.
Smells of...
