Best Neat Poems

a face
two hands
a couple of feet
think about that
pretty neat
a clock
keeps time
without 
a brain ~
when we're late
Who's to blame

Seeing aisles of messy shelves
Before a shopper even delves
Is a horrible curse
Which Whole Foods can reverse
With stockers who were Santa's elves

NO-no! 
Now-now!
Naughty naughty!

we see you
posin' poser 
pretending to pump out popular poems

utilizing 
sneaky glitch tricks
don't act like you don't know... 

there you go 
posting poems
perpetually perturbed
  
agitated arentchya' aintchya'?
impatient 
mad man
feelin' flustered, FRUSTERRR...rated! 
flippin' flabbergasted 
aghast at absence 
of reads
down on 
knocked knees
prayin' please

When I am visiting a house
with no cobwebs or dust
I know for a fact
this is not someone to trust;
For if they meticulously clean
every single cranny and nook
then I am sure they examine me
with too discriminating a look.

You see, I myself have a cobweb or two
tucked...

Old country house rich colored rugs hot wind
Gallopping hair whipped wildly at his cheeks
Solid double doors  top of stairway  top coat
Mantlepiece  photographs  in ornate frames 
Small  white  dog  head  between  its  paws
China  tea perfect...

Nothing would stop her charm, sex and cool, 
Especially on a hot summer’s day.
Acting all chilled I’d rev her maxed motor, 
‘Til she screamed down that inviting freeway.

Celebrating life with a thrust and a swerve, 
Obeying only some laws of the road.
Oblivious of others, she’d...

I've seen a terrible crime, a murder in fact

Ruthless, ugly, menacing; an unpleasant struggle,

She was an unsuspecting victim, strangled, from behind.

It didn't take too long, and then she was gone.

I have been a witness to many robberies.

Some were fascinating to watch, others quite boring.

Still, I...

NEAT AND TIDY

astute as a Mermaid
calculating cards
blameless at daylight
night less her dark
yearning a past when
selfish shellfish
blades were placed
out of time
out of mind 

she waits from within
sea bed rocks of stone
beneath the coral glass
veneers of harsh deathly
calamities
blood spoors   of
austere tragedies that
stain yet remain

bodybeached seagarbage

Always envious of gifted individuals with neat hand printing/writing

Gnome hatter heroic measures taken
moost ludicrously asinine,
nonetheless hoop fully
me legendary penta meat herd bovine design

of modest fellow (me) will endure as divine,
no matter not one bloody poetic line
pertains to original (above crafted)
storied title of mine
completely buried under

Just the phrase exchange has my attention.
Found poise not most discombobulated.
Felt clad and poised for a neat impression.
Just the phrase exchange has my attention.
That was one of my chief roles to mention.
And my goal, it won't rile complicated.
Just the phrase exchange has my attention.
Found poise...

My closet was neat 
Yours was too

I hid myself 
My secret was the same as yours 
Our pain was shared by our heart and mind

I come out I get more pain 
You come out 
I go out I get sent back 
You come out and...

Located in the perfect place
       Filed in transparent drawer
       Unruly impediments erased
       Facets interact free of flaw


       Seamless system clockwork

I am sitting at a teacher’s desk.
Not my desk, a borrowed room.
Staring at an orange backpack with
A broken zipper and a cat emblem.

This desk is familiar. There is a torn paper
Plate, a half-eaten sucker, two paper clips, and 
Several stacks of ungraded papers dated
A couple...

pour me another poem
make it straight
something to cut the edge
an end to an otherwise
imperfect day

give me something strong
a poem to open my eyes
one that is guaranteed
in that very first sip
to take my breath away

i’ll let you know
if it truly suits my taste
and if by some...
