Best Recording Poems

The farm
     and the porch light hums 
the sound of another 
orange dawn.

Burnt up – crisp
      aching new reaches 
of the imagination turn 
from corn
      to wheat
to the pungent shade
of dried...

In the entertainment field, I have a familiar face.
In movies and TV, I have been all over the place.

There are some memorable parts that I can call my own.
A doll named “Talky Tina” tripped me down the stairs in “The Twilight Zone”

I have been an...

Die, and the chirping of the bird.
I while being surrounded by the birds 
on the edge of a cliff 
on the island of the hippocampus, 
was a recording of the 100 hours of radio drama....

High time i did their studio voicing 
To ignite a genuine rejoicing 
Over verses dismissed like Virus 
And by Sun Magaz The Mysterious, 
Poet making out as The Deleterious.
For all he might seem  Boisterous...


But Good Producers gasp for cash,
Here in Nigeria ‘dying to smash;’...

these songs are about wizards (mostly)
the untroubled child sleeping peacefully

and when the new washing machine
arrives at the same time as the food delivery

you do wonder if the men at the door
exchanged pleasantries 

did they make eye contact
did they ring the door separately or 

one honk...

If I were a Heavenly Recording Angel,
I would probably be a recording scribe.
Writing down each and every littlest 
Detail of peoples' lives on planet
Earth below.***

If I were recording the effectual righteous
Deeds of men, women, and children,
My heart would leap loudly for joy!
But if the deeds...

It is one hell of a risk
Away The Cops could Stan whisk,
By Jeff's window with a disc
They'll think he's there to things frisk,
Although, slow Stan's moves not brisk...

Stan means recording a rape;

Any funny noise Clean Escape;
He's learnt to jump...

If measurement stops
and clocks will not chime

minutes to hours

Pendulum still

Trace your body upon mine with pen
Tracing each moment in time
Recording each sound we make
Keep these pictures of sound

Safely locking them away
For If we lose one moment in time
Forever it will be gone
Erased from our memories

Place me upon your easel
Array me with many colors
Brushing with...

i'm listening to recording number 5.
it's my own fault
 for digging where the dust didn’t settle,
i heard my voice cracking through static,
saying “ok go,”
and you 
you come on like the end credits of a bad film,
talking about fate and fools,
last goodbyes that grow on trees
in...
