Best Protuberance Poems

Spring slips those neo-leaves on protuberance-limbs.
Youth is adorned with buds and flowering whims.

Poppies drench an infant’s eyes and awaken sleep.
Spiked trellis dreams sow garden-beard whims.

Blackbirds scatter like dandelion seeds in the wind.
How cleverly they remember your namesake whims.

First walking stick, unbridled from bark, boggled the...

Prevarication permits pretend perception, presenting
piquantly piqued, pimply pimping playboy, plucky
pulchritudinous previously pusillanimous, prevalently
puckish, psychic packman, pokemon playing proletarian

puppeteer pygmy, peevishly punky, plummy, plumy,
pompously pushy, pampered, prefabricated pinchbeck,
pokily plying plowshear, plodding peregrination, pied
piper pitifully peppy pornographic potato pealing,

parsimonious paradoxical protagonist, proposing
preposterous panicky pacification plots, prioritization

Coma like consciousness resurfaces
Enclosed in a capsule shaped sleep chamber
A few vague abstract shapes pass and repass

Overhead LED lights flash response
Feeling for control pressure area
Oxygen floods now obsolete chamber
The glass frame clicks and glides swiftly open
Stepping out Grayson squats to do knee bends

"Hi" and a...

Nothing supersedes health maintenance;
Thus, the evolution of instinctive defiance --
Save for man and his brainy protuberance,

Which clouds the r-complex beneficence
With infinite, self-centered arrogance, meanwhile,
Nothing supersedes health maintenance.

Dino-birds navigate with magnetic reliance,
And sickness is fought without aid, in silence --
Save for man and his brainy protuberance.

We ponder Pandora as the person preordained
to unleash a plethora of plagues upon our persons.

But here's what I heard:
Pandora had two sisters,
Persephone and Proserpina.
Pandora perused poetry 
while Persephone practiced petite-point.
But Proserpina possessed the predilection
for picking on people.
She pestered the portly, poor, pretty and plain.
Her past...

Stalwarts of fondness will last for eons,
a humble candle flame that glows as neon.
If my love for you is at a searing depth,
dyes pierce the air as beams on breadth.

Only love can heal the molten, burning page,
a sublime, lofty yearning for wider rage.
It sparkles as...

You are not taken by me:
You are taken by the shadows and shapes there.
Sharp collarbones, acute angles when knees bend, shin to thigh:
Movement in the night, soft sighs, I am wisp-of-smoke, wisp-of-woman, neither living nor dead, your head 
Cradled to my breasts, my eyes soft...

Your small, fleshy, red fruit, hidden neath
your flesh, and the protuberance of your
smooth pit entice me into submission..
And your flavor is the sweetest, juiciest,
tastiest fruit ever.....

Filched Physiognomy – Mine revisited!

Absolute zero escape
velocity guts dance
sing days (contra and square),
cuz metabolic full abundance
abdominal adipose tissue acceptance
not in accordance
with light as a feather

miss lost acquaintance
the boy within forced admittance
as sure man tanks of fat did advance
shotgun marriage demanded allegiance
to pledge lifetime alliance

In an ideal world, everyone would be real.
Our prejudices against others will vanish.
Often, we judge by face rather than genteel.
From the apex of your ear, it will banish.

How long can you hate yourself for flaws you hide?
You may dress as you wish, despite what others...

Self destructive wickedness arrested, convicted, and gaoled...

with kidnapping little boy 
ordered to suffer
life sentence without parole.

The deadly scourge of  
one obsessive/compulsive disorder
nearly left me starving to death.

nadir of onset

severe social anxiety still legion I aire

I am in retreat, for a music
of visitation,
playing with the words.

Mission failed, 
the upheaval starts in the islands
of void, to find out
who was unglazed.

Folding the protuberance
in a pilfered fidelity, the shards
had no input in violence.

Mistrial. A  half-mad moon 
crashes on grass. The fireflies
resume the...
