Best Pugilistic Poems

There are no cogs, springs, wheels, or gears inside of me.
I'm a flawed human whose mind and heart often disagree.
I don't have parts, interior mechanisms like those inside a clock.
but if my heart makes a decision, my mind puts up a roadblock.
There's no symbiosis between...

(my acknowledgement 
to the loose canon of Robert Frost)

An above average snowfall
heavily swathed sage heather 
followed by substantial unusual rainfall
punctuated months before, during and
after the growing season

delivered one of the
most hearty crop yields
in living memory 
within the generations of men
of this (or any neighboring)

Norwegian bachelor...

HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!

Would this be true love to you?
No one walks a mile in my shoes!
He put up his dukes, so hot,
He hit me with his best shot!
I kicked him with my best shot,
Right in the groin, he was boy blue,
No one...

Blinded by vanity 
a king has no hope, only a pugilistic mind. 
He speaks his urbane opinions carelessly 
berating all others; he leaves their broken hearts behind. 
Since he himself has no hope, he crushes the hopes of those he thinks of pusillanimously. 
Such a...

Gott Oh Mighty,Trump iz on the Warpath!

Das Don Auld (can hard tank
tucker son of Carl, and leave
landscape barren) calling out
rigged ken tuckered hoarfrost race,
viz demolition derby presaging

death to White Anglo Saxon
democracy DOMS (delayed
onset muscle soreness)
minions decry diplomacy,
crass denunciation of
Stacey Abrams

liberally Apple eyeing jingoistic rhetoric
declare defamation...

Affliction with mental illness beasts sans,
     depression, panic/ anxiety
     obsessive compulsive disorder

psychological state plagued with
     sweaty palms, irritable

the conversation continues to whither
some pugilistic pundits 
from the tele’ and ‘net
have chosen to seal their thoughts 
in a vault labeled 1955

a majority must die first, then we can talk
otherwise, suburbia and the Hamptons 
could give a damn

video footage will annoy us with truth
Nubian kings...

At an open poetry reading in Monterey,
one more poet got on stage and said he had nothing to say.
And that made the audience go ballistic,
and some got so pissed, they even got pugilistic ~
till the authorities came ~ and took all their poetry away....

I wait with bated breath for... C. Cure T. Clarence

The following crafted 
approximately midway 
into the administration 
of forty fifth president,
whose crass, gutsy, lewd,
repulsive yawping finds
him squarely poised to
nab the nomination as
Republican front runner
come the 2024 election.

The overstuffed ego freezer
(yes him with the coiffed 
windblown...

C. Cure T. Clarence

Been making, (sans
     daily) regular appearance
in the news oval
     hate gambling arrogance
vis a vis spewing,
     shouting, and scathing rabidly
     foaming explosive clap

This Citizen Banker

A cold berating 
light-erasing rope
survives
relentless
entropy
(another year ends
 another variant contends)

Desolate debris in 
empty
erroneous caves
swallow 
blank pages
    submerged in 
mind-warping seas
where flying memes
  wait for normalcy
where words freeze
    & thoughts
    become sadistic
(a poisoned (out of mind)...

Gott, oh mächtig, Trump iz on the warpath again!

Glad for birth write to express views
aware cunning linguists 
will apply figurative screws  
in an effort at blatant mud slinging ruse
exercised courtesy mail in ballots, 
or electorates standing in queues 
who the previous Sunday 
possibly fervently...

Been digging my heart. Into any art. I can get my. 
Hands on late-ly

Been feeling 
rough and down and 
Filled with fluff, incorrigible clouds, imperfect
like a do-pa-mine addicted white rat on his cheese
Meat, wine, and sugar, cigarettes not far behind, in pursuit of

Instant 
grat-ification
With colloquially...
