Best Profiled Poems

3 polished oak fans,
Swirling in robotic unison

High maintenance socialites,
Sipping on Merlot fallacies

Lemon yellow coated walls,
Flat,
Like their smiles

Comparisons of dangling Porsche & Bentley keys
A glorified day care center,
Pacifiers included

The muted virtuosos speak softly in hymn dialects.

Courtesy laughter in snob’s octave

Their heads twitching side to side,
Left to...

Embrace this torso decaying in the wardrobe I wake up those skeletons laying in the warzone 
I make up the rules as I go along you all know so get ready ya better be set like a fresh jelly freshly baked cake on the go...

INTO THE DISTANCE

a solitude
with
    an abrupt
transition

  depictions
in  parallel
designed to
   balance the
organic

  profiled
 losing oneself
to
the void
    ever returning
simmering
  on the surface
of the
featureless
   sands

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique...

This poem wants to make a change . . .

To be a strong yet silent raised fist in Mexico, 1968.

To stand at a window w/a shotgun writing the words
“By any means necessary”

To sit in at a lunch counter in Birmingham, Alabama
Until it is read

To start...

You called her unmarriable because she fought for her rights
You wanted her to stay home
And cook, clean, wash, iron and bear you children
It was okay with her, you both agreed on five of them
And she loved to cook, wash, clean, iron and even wake up...

I am tired of seeing our mothers cry;
It’s painful to see their tears.
It’s been happening much too long,
Down through the years.

You don’t want us to chastise them,
Or beat them in our homes.
But you will chase them in the streets,
And shoot them; now they’re gone.

When will...

Race -
Did it start the big debate, in 2008?

He’s not my president 
Show me his papers.
Why don’t we impeach him 
Silence all the haters.

Take back our country 
Those thieves took it.
Yes we can!
Tea Partiers have a plan.

Fox News or Msnbc 
Which one defines me?
If I...

Seductively symetrical in form and presence
She calls it Eve, I call it sepia political
Aroused motherhood of nation, a glamorous sense
Of identity, modern and yet mystical
Naked as a morning, smooth as silk dreams
She looks back, not histantly, nor curiously
Profiled the hidden breast, in streams
Of provocativeness, the...

We are being Hunted!
Our sons,
More than our daughters 
Our mothers,
Less than our fathers 
By the hunters,
We've been made into a sport,
at their discretion,
Not served with protection,
But, sent
Straight to the grave,
By Black & White transport.
We stand at their command.
We stop.
We drop.
We comply.
We die.
Still...
Hunted....
& Endangered....
Not safe,
Living in...

I have heard many moms repeat
"You never stop being a parent."

Sadly, I don't see or hear that quite so much from the dads,
although I know of remarkably nurturing exceptions.

I thought of this as my impossibly young,
yet oldest son,
nearly twenty-two,
stopped by for an early birthday present,...

I CAN’T BREATHE, I CAN’T BREATHE, I CAN’T BREATHE
WHY? WONT YOU TAKE YOUR KNEE OFF ME
These are the voices of victimized Blackman in the USA
WAKE UP GEORGE FLOYD
Questions about, Police officer’s attitudes
Toward Black Americans, Protesters and others
All these injustices because of our color
Like the westerns...

I cant seem to find the happy
antedote to cool my negative

pulled  taughtly      somewhere
inside lives a man who cares----simple

Freeze! Freeze! Cops here, put your hands in the air!
Get on your knees! Put your hands behind your head!
We had a report of a crime and came and found you here.
You’re under arrest; if you move; we will shoot you dead.
Officer, what is the charge...
