Best Likely Poems

snuggled in my bed, I’ll be fast asleep,
but online (if Sandman acts unkindly);
there is where most likely you will find me!

In spring or summer, I’ll be having fun
just sitting with my pen beneath the sun
on my patio...

All the windows down.
Shades drawn.
Door locked.
Against the imitation mahogany, a little manila card:
"Check out time:  3 o'clock."

Click!
All dark now.
Hmmmmm.
The Wizard Deluxe 16" Oscillating Fan
makes a lot of noise.
Click.
It's too cool anyway.


Whew!  Those ugly flowers on the rug!
I can almost smell them.
And the bedsprings...

It is early on in life that Pride meets Ego. In 2nd grade in fact. Pride sits quietly admiring the gold star at the top of his drawing. Ego, sitting close by, slaps Pride on the back, lifts him into the air and tells him...

I took seven xanax
and just before retiring to bed
I secured a plastic bag around my head.
As you read this now, I'm most likely dead.
I most likely died very peacefully.
The best way to die is to die in your sleep....

Out of all the relationships I’ve ever been in, few really ever knew me.
Just bits and pieces rehashed, concocted and dispensed from;
A world I know as the files from my performing arts.
      But with you it’s different because you’re so...

The One least likely to understand, 
Was the One who knew the most 
On broken knees, I cannot stand, 
But haunt, do I, as wraith or ghost 
The One least likely to be subtle, 
Was as gentle as a Lamb 
And, Oh! My emotions, deeply...

It’s strange somehow thinking about the times I’ve spent in relationships yet;
Few have ever had the chance to really know me.
Just bits and pieces rehashed and concocted; 
From a world he quietly calls “the Halls of Lenny’s performing arts”.
     But with...

It's pseudo science, therefore not even an original idea
I'll throw it away at the end of this poem rather than dedicate my lifes work to it
I have a somewhat rare blood group 
Briefly wondered whether I surround myself with similar
Mosquitoes don't like to bite me

A  LIKELY  TALE



Husband beetle gets  home late 
Not just at seven but well after eight
Wife asks, what’s your excuse
For being  on the loose?

Well,  I just got inside a window pane
And couldn’t get back out again
I  guess  I ...

In my bed I lay
Here I want to stay
Let my mind wander astray
In to an ordinary day.
 
My father persists
‘Up now, you will be late for school’
He greets me with another
Breakfast to go.
Pops is on the porch
Readying my bike
For a quick get away
Granny rocks in...

I woke up alone.. 
coping with reailty
but today
i'm thrown to

where you been
i've waited to see 
you crush..

Doesn’t care a lot
