Best Newest Poems

It's a fact, and no longer just a rumor
Some soup people barf at toilet humor
Have you sniffed your own butt 
It stinks so keep it shut
Pessimism must be your perfumer

No one would believe that you never fart

The newest addition to my family
My bro-in-law christened him Milo
Another named him Jimmy
He’s more like a Chuckie
to me—driving me loco
The greenest eyes
He’s pretty lucky
He loves pink salmon 
and playing catch
with crumpled paper I toss,
the unwanted poems I scratch
Biggie (aka) needs weight loss
I tumbled as I...

Where brackish liquid
strangles pristine innocence.
Once I even flew....

We watched Frida Kahlo 
with our backs toward the rice fields
The monkey fits tightly to her breast, 
her right breast. A parrot 
on her left shoulder; two chatter-boxes that mimic
What if the wolves pull our wool over our eyes?

In lands where barbarians sacrifice youths for...

I'm a librarian,
I'm a postman,
I'm a welfare queen,
dancing the scapegoat,
dancing the scapegoat,
dancing the scapegoat scene.

I'm a teacher,
bus driver,
secretary,
garbageman.

Wage worker,
politician,
war veteran
fireman.

Army sergeant,
Navy sergeant,
air force pilot
......and police.

Dancing the scapegoat,
dancing the scapegoat,
dancing on the poor house trampoline.

Dancing the scapegoat,
dancing the scapegoat,
dancing the scapegoat
all day long.......

so I'm a dancing...

Blue tin eyes dim blink
crystal lullabies to freeze
plastic harmony......

Moist sensual lips
Open to receive kisses
Undying love projected 
Tongue to find the unexpected
Home to many phases of love

To feel the world in a different place
Not far from home 
Yet worth the wait

What is this world with dogs
And many taste
And loads of race.


Once home in my bed
A million thoughts 
In my head

A little brain, 
A big train
Hey could these things be the same.

Lets...

Newest Limerick

There was a  young lady from Macon
Who cooked up a big batch of bacon
Her boyfriend ate some
And so did a bum
Now both of their bellies are aching

Haiku 
Burgundy sunset
A pink band of cerulean clouds 
Clear day tomorrow 

Haiku 
He shot at the sun
 Hot liquid fell on his head
An Olympic torch

Haiku 
The moon in good mood 
Strewed silver on Birch trees 
To benefit beauty...

I heard it’s absolutely sublime.
Get yours today, it is divine!

It erases any and all reality of inflation.
Keeps you on a mental-denial vacation.

The vaccine is named,,,”DONKEYPOX!”
Ensures happiness, even though you 
cannot afford a pair of socks?

You’ll be just overjoyed to pay more taxes.
As your freedoms are...

It’s the first day of school and I’m really quite nervous.
I don’t know how everyone will react to me.
I wonder what should be my first order of business.
Should I make friends right away or just let it be?

I moved here from the city where I...

She would, she says incensed, leave one, in an instant, would 

go miles to the east, miles and miles away from one, 

where one would never, ever "darken her door again".


And she would, she says, her eyes filling suddenly with tears,

"go there for good, never,...

I taste you on my tongue
 You fade faster
 my eyes bleed black
 why would you leave me here on this broken glass
 shards fill my flesh
 blood crawls across the floor
 break me
 use me 
leave me
It's all you know
 I'm your latest victim
 I pick my self off this broken floor still bleeding...
