Best Mt. Olympus Poems

Splendor of soft shoulders
caressed by sinking sun
Out my window the western slope
of the thick coated Rocky Mountains
Once upon a clear cold Colorado Chrstmas 
purple brushed horizon flecked with gold
filled my picture window 
Mesmerized I stood staring
at this huge canvas hung in the Louver 
God's and...

Which way leads to the 
land of green white 
green?
Which way are we 
heading?
   A country the wicked 
bears the rulership, and 
the people sighing 
continuously.
   A terrible thing sprouts 
beneath the sun: a 
pregnant woman 
delivering not.
Imps come to lime-light...

In the beginning thus Prometheus who loved mankind
Stealing fire from the Gods of Mt Olympus 
Then to Earth he did resign
Man marveled at fire’s glowing light
Finding comfort from its warmth at night
Rocks which surrounded the campfire pit
Melted their metals into the ashy spit
Man’s observant brilliant...

(But as Mike was rambling with considerable fortitude about the inner workings of a car and the various ways that Florida threw their last football game or whatever trite nonsense men discuss over their mountains of beer bottles and clouds of ugly breath, Mary was...

Lungs that exhale lofty tones,
higher learning ... Mt. Olympus invocation
Elevated flung lightning bolts of linguistic illusion,
fancy worded dreams
floating ...
between 
open cranial empty spaces

Diaphragm skywalkers
verbally illuminating prosthetic landscapes
of skin-deep lip topography
Giving interval beeps 
of sonar, irregular equality

Maimed assumptions broken
and bent at the knees
Another Po’ Boy sandwich
pressed...

You mere mortals I have told repeatedly.
We gods and goddesses on Mt. Olympus
want to be known by our true identity.
I have already approached you about this.
I’m the moon goddess; “Artemis” is my name.
Perhaps Helios should consume you with flame.
If I hear any of you call...

The turquoise trolley 
paused at the Gate of the Gods.

I breathlessly alit 
to greet my ever love, 
my Lady of Turquoise.
The majesty of Diana
whose ever flexed bow did pass 
glistened of opal and emerald 
and charmed our souls,
every step a passionate stride, 
to warm the...

A flash of light,
Yes, in her eyes
Was the only gesture
Of a sign in the first
Adam when he met her. 
Time of his manhood
Glows like moonbeam
That coy the sun. 
There was terrible toil, 
For he feed his flesh
So as to live them. 
Like spartan and trojans,...

Lie prostrate to Zeus on Mt Olympus
Bid him call the powers that be
of presidents and ministers world-wide
to cure the world of this ill wind blowing.
Stretch out to Asis our goddess in Egypt
upon whose manuscript reads Apollo 
and there derive medicinal powers.
 Lend immobile the spikes...

A full blooded goddess that's what you are
Raised in Mt. Olympus that's very far
Endowed with an endless beauty and wit
I am asking you not to let me fall in a lovers pit

Oh goddess of love in you hands is where love grows
you catch the piece...

we remain
 at DEFCON 4
no cause for alarm
we continue to monitor
  this situation
very fluid
interesting times
buckle your
  seat belt

Nosydoomas prophesized:
  the Bear goes ballistic
  the Eagle tears itself to shreds
  Mars, Saturn, and Pluto meet in the Capricorn Cafe

The Dog's Fun with Grandma

My daughter's dog is in love with me?
His dish like, excited eyes seem starving.
But over my legs he goes balmy licking, 
Oh, that ~Olive lotion from Crete!

My legs are ambrosial popsicles to him!
That pooch cannot for hours stop licking.
Oh, that divine exuberance,...

So recently the birds have flown, there are still feathers in my hair. Slip into day across the vast oceans, surrounding golden autumn maple trees high above Mt Olympus beholding the Gods at their best. Thru clouds in Alpine jungles to tents in hills on...

Philosophical Rhymthmic Duality

Imminent calamity collides with structured debate 
Virulent profanity confides with punctured ingrates 
An insolent generation of insanity resides with a debunked hate 
The innocent audacity presides over the opinions that rank and rate

Alchimedes problem solving in the middle of the night 
Socrates deliberating...
