Best Mismanaged Poems
ResonanceEarth health-love resonance
is bird song
contrasted to dissonance
of non-ecologos
decaying cars
and non-theomythic truck technologies
of terror
and mismanaged motorcycles
flowing incessantly by.
Optimal resonance lives inside an eco-forested bird sanctuary
before and after a WestWind storming toward East
contrasted to challenged resonance
of living every WinLose day
next to a bird-nested tree
and a State HighWay.

Happy HystericsHearty har har - helplessly howling happy hysterics
awareness, after all, always amazes artichokes!
Everyday evil eggs are eaten eagerly
yesterday you yacked yucky yellow yolks
singing silly sickening sapsucker swill songs!
Dangerous dopey dogs deny dumping dung
but bark big brash bumpkiss bile!
Flighty flatulent fireflies (flitting furiously!)
swirling sloppy sides soaked...

Its Always the MoneyITS ALWAYS THE MONEY
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
It’s always the money I’m saddened to say
Put your hand in someone’s pocket its time to pay
When it’s not the money, it’s a crusade
Or revenge for a crime that was never paid
Or a psycho that’s totally unhinged
Who thinks his rights...

JOHN M. ARRIBAS
When I consult my pillow each night
The question is how to solve this planet’s plight
I’ve narrowed it down to a fork in the road
Take the left, utter destruction full overload
Take the right, prepare to take drastic action
Need to reduce the populace...

Australia RisingThere is hope in every nation; for the word is going round
That Australians are sweeping fear away'
They are ardent freedom lovers, who are forged as hammered steel, and thery're gathering supporters
Night and day!
There are honest dinkum judges, who are standing by
The truth; there are coppers...

Ballade
Wonderment AboundI needed help in figuring out who this heart is really for…..
Feelings arrive leaving me feeling silly at times, though much too often
it passes…..daring never to lift my spirits again for that special feeling.
Joy has never been this good to me, she was never there.
Can...

Painful-ThoughtThe painful truth about my heart
My eternal abode of treasure
Where feelings and thoughts brew like wine
And words like a fountain flow
Suddenly became dry like a desert
Making screech noise like a tire that was punctured
The gold in me thrown to swine
And tears like blood begins to...

Pathogen Given ProvisionOcean girdled nation had prospect for absolute containment
Overseas observers, in distant comfort, complacent
Wuhan origin arrivals sparked a catastrophic failure
Leaving lock down 25th January, flying into Australia
Similar instances followed, action came agonisingly belated
Contamination suppression echoes with mismanaged lament
Millions of innocent impeded by heartache of...

Quintain (English)
Magnificent Errorit’s the mistakes,
the ****ups, the things that
“go wrong,” which make
up the spice of life, which
illustrate the memories that
divide the passive livers from the
doers who find themselves
fond of the life they’ve lived in
retrospect---
just think of the rights of passage
which everyone seems to say they’ve had,
the first...

InsecureThere seems so little point in killing one
Whose only crime is to heal
But when he calls you a hypocrite - a whitewashed tomb
And deep inside you feel
That wrong or right, his power is more than yours
You've got to serve him or kill him
Choose him or...

Verse
StressStress is a fact of life: new beginnings, vanished resources, and unexpected endings.
Despair debilitates; destroys one’s delight without warning, woeful worries gripping.
Ask…shall I mope around mulling over my ills or shall I let God’s light within me shine?
Pondering problems produces a peculiar predicament; the...

Contagious CoronaI'm so happy I could cry.
My eldest child has said goodbye.
To England and that silly Boris,
who mismanaged the threat to us.
She and her fiance caught the ferry.
I'm so pleased it makes me merry.
Here in the wilds of Donegal,
they can isolate until the fall.
That virus has...

Long past with short future in last phase,
Life tries to glance on bygone days.
Millions of events all disarranged
Distant memories too mismanaged.
