Best Nabs Poems

Maverick(Vers libre)

Life for me was vain, trying to get gain
In Peterbilt truck, I’ve had the worst luck

Driving in deep snow, bad tempers do show
Praying the roads clear, very hard to steer

Having a tire low,  over heats will  blows
Many trips are lame, and bosses...

Four treats in the doggy bowl
Four treats laying still
Each equal in proportion
Each tail wagging swell

Two dogs walk together
Up to sniff the treats
Enough for both to share
Enough for both to eat

Genghis grabs one
Briskly trots away
Kublia has hurt eyes
Three treats left to stay

Kublia stares stares stares
Licking his...

Never let me go, my Creator-Saviour…
…now that I’m Your named child, grace-in-need;
Nestle my heart within Your love’s nostril
Nail me in Your nearness as to You I draw nigh.

Never let me go, Omnipotent Lord…
…neither allow me succumb to bad new's noise;
Nurture my soul with spiritual nobility
Nourish...

Growing up no independence
Restricted by my mom's time limit 

Forced to go to school 
Because they said education would be my greatest tool 

"I can't wait to be an adult" 

Riding that bus with all that fuss 
Praying God please let them hush 

Everyone making choices for me 
Telling me I'm to...

Villanelle: How much is how near enough and yet not much

How much is how near enough and yet not much
The measure of the cup is what the hand grabs
Must the common man pay the price or all go Dutch

Some take more than what is their...

Their eyes move in rhythm of the housefly flight
Up and loop, straight and back, down and around
Snap!  Snap!  Snap!
Eager bites for the winged vermin of flight
Tails wagging, bodies bouncing a dance in air
Grasping to catch what is no longer there
Two little doggies on...

Incomprehensible space/time continuum intrigues...

One insignificant, infinitesimal
incomprehensibleness cosmic speck,
who doth readily confess
swallowed within

infinite cosmic wormhole, nonetheless,
he feels mind boggled, fascinated,
transfixed... helpless to express
following concept suddenly
gripping his feeble mental compass.

I haint never gonna get
smart enough to understand
supposedly how universe
under contract to expand
subscribers embracing divine
intervention ascribe to invisible...

A sketch of cimarron 
shades: an appollyon emerges,
her spectre arms reach

like the charcoal bones
of the wild, the webbed trees.
Their silhouette absorbed

into the night clasp 
the edge of the curved
slice of moon, cocaine

colored and as potent.
For ancient stories are spun
within its orbit.

It is a black and
white...

Dream leaf “fall” usher
motley hue cascade unfurled

Dream leaf “fall” usher 
motley hue cascade unfurls
dull gray sky gaunt sun 
mud strewn  pockmark on limp moss,
wet nabs ripe fruit orchard splurge 

Moonlit gemstone reach
lunar auspice chill whisper
green hewn splintered twig 
earthbound autumn wild pageant
scaly branches in a heap

Dark cobalt clouds float
city folk’s...

Joseph Robinette Biden Junior

The last prescient perspicacious politician, 
who presided at the White House
ran out of office despite victorious landslide win
most Democrats gave their signed, 
sealed, and delivered grudging approval, 
but could not stem the crowdsourced 
riptide of repudiation, a buzzfeeding, 
and deafening chorus 
of...

Excellent marksmen/women set his/her sites...

I can hold out for upcoming mental health therapy until Wednesday at 1:00 p.m.

Yes, and you (like I) will probably presume me deservedly cursed for flagrante delicto years ago.

After I experienced the following catastrophe (written in my freestyle poetry), you won't...
