Best Papering Poems

I’ll bet you think you were unseen….
Invisible like a ghost.
Well, guess what?
You’re not as sneaky as you are stupid.
Were you really that mad about
Being beaten to a parking place?
A place she politely waited for and rightfully earned.
And, she had two little babies with her…
While YOU,...

Will cute, costumed kids come for candy?
In case, I’ll have loads of sweets handy.
Wee ones might stay home;
still, big ones will roam
T-P-ing* yards. Clean-up's NOT dandy! 



*Toilet papering (also called TP-ing), is the act of covering an object, such 
as a tree, house, another structure,...

Kindly stick to digging pineapples in the future as magic dust particles can really only spring up in defense patterns. And is it really wise to deal cards in a high tide. Deliver not an oceanographic breeze to a tree of great magnitude as deviance...

Too fragile stems hold heliotrope heads
Taffeta flaunted purple pompoms preposterous
Let us lie on the grass, smoke cigarettes
Aft petal papering conjure new year's purpose

Behold from below the branches spread
Frilly dusk shock puffs, dancing shuffle clusters
Obscure wombs become Wilde, paraded
Lying Spring in Winter cherry bloom discovered

Crushed plums,...

The circle

equations of linguistics
lyrical misfits
misinformed lyricists
papering plastifying
blasted through
pronuciation of tempation
fundamental precipitation
recollection
mass integral concentration
reaching the world within
through inoprim
the land of the singer
Pentium meaning
believing in the constellation
major frustration
astral projection
oh let me go to my audition
thank you very much for listening

They roam the streets with such evil grins,
Spreading mayhem wherever they've been,
Smashing pumpkins, toilet papering trees,
Stealing candy from good little girls and boys,
They are known in these parts,
As the pumpkin gang.

They ride their bikes throughout the town,
Terrorizing both the young and the old,
Chasing teens down...

Her eyes complicated simplicity
dripping under the weight of sour deceit,
melding to the warm wet circles
tainting the already tired bar.
She was soaking up the animosity,
those precious pieces
tunneled beneath the mainstream
of dancing whims and limbs.

From this corner of maybes
I saw a slice of moon between your teeth,
refracting...

His pitch is perfect.
The liquidity of his voice stronger
than the gushing water,
pressure forcing itself
through the copper pipes,
vibrating like a ball bearing.
A devotional hymn covering the courtyard with steam,
wall papering the darkness with a flowery melody.
How beautiful the water falls,
pitter-patter on the marble,
it gives rhythm to...

Our  game show host,
in negative, 
teeth bleaching.
papering the cracks,
with good lighting,
and bad jokes,
We
never
see 
you 
coming.

Fluffed before countdown
but you never came,
your climax is waiting,
any minute now
there is no edit....

Leaves let go gracefully 
When the season comes to an end 
Papering the ground, a carpet of colours
crisp at first and then subdued and soggy 
Squished to the ground by clumsy feet 
Stomping, squelching, trying to stop slipping. 

Such is the switch of seasons 
And...

When journalism fails to deliver the facts,
And no longer apologies for shameful acts,
Constantly ending up on the wrong tracks,
Failing to prevent shark attracts,
On those who suffer from panic attacks,
More interested in becoming political hacks,
Papering over the cracks,
And roasting words on racks,
All to fill the owners...

Fell asleep, drooled ink on my pillowsheet.
Would this wise and wondrous dream be complete
            by moonlight or dawn?
            Fright! Look at my lawn!

Academicians …
masticating and
 grinding their ‘truth’
Spewing out
what they would have us swallow
in gagging choking egotism
Regurgitating it back
in the toxic chunder
of a narcissistic reality
Papering the walls
of modern thought
with the bibs of their retching 
As they hide within
their ivory towers
—festering in mass
