Best Reefed Poems


One Bung Lung
Incredibly hung , 
with the one bung lung,
And kidneys not quite a failing,

He went to the dentist ,
Tooth reefed out, 
Sucked ciggys without inhaling.

The guys in the bar,
Sucked on cigars, 
Checked him, the toilet, ha,

Were enthral led with , 
The girth n gift ,
“how come...

I ride the waves of innocence
on the ocean of The Now.
From the depths of dank
a demon stalks my bow.

On deck afraid, alone I stood
quelling fear the best I could.
Furled the jib and reefed the main
what you do when the wind's insane.
Then rising atop a stormy...

Snatched
Snatched and grabbed, reefed off me horse,
Just crossed over the watercourse,
Big white light it came and got,
Zapped me, jerked me up aloft,
A bloody flying saucer.

Saw the circle spinning disk,
With panels from one did whisk,
Beam of light had done the job,
In me pocket, thirty bob?

Darkness came...

Black Poison
Destroyer ~ Poet
Contest Name	5TH POEM ON THE SOUP..
POISON! 1st first.
I was coming up from Tamworth, riding on a tired horse. 
Past Barraba we wandered north, on a slow and dusty course.
 Near Barraba I drew short rein, and paused to watch a sight. 
A boy...

 She was big an a Ox light in her sox
And she loved her Irish Pp praety   (potato)

They married at once she...

Knot
Dexterity, the fluid ease of two-a-penny vamps,
Their fingers locked as vices, seize the stomach cramps,
Abruptly tug and lobster squeeze the strands of flesh inside,
Felled down upon the scabrous knees with tongue and muscle tied.

Knot that slips around the throat and snaps the neck in two,
Constraint...

Life's Tempests

We ride the waves of innocence
on the ocean of The Now.
From the depths of dank
the evil stalks our bow.
It's little that we can do
to keep all our decks so clear.
For in our minds as we list each way
the demons are right here.
Storms rage from...

Had two guys in the back seat plotting to rob him,
so he opened it up to 75mph,
 and put it into a shuddering slide,
Reefed on the handbrake, stalled it died,
drew the crank-handle, 4 the attack they tried,
and outed em with the...

Low Sun Over Home Waters
Nets are hauled and homeward go the shrimp boats
rolling slow and easy on a sunset path,
their droning engines chugging
over a rippling seafoam.

In the mangrove swamp
an egret sets its white sails and glides upwards
upon hot winds.
The sky opens for its passage
leading it through a cloudless window.

Cypress...

Today captured souls sail on a Titanic-like ship 
over a new Middle Passage journey on a turbulent sea,
whose waves undulate and froth with viciousness;

The captain and crew play ping-pong
with the chartered course—the crew often loosing—
abandoning ship or otherwise simply thrown overboard;

A strange manifest has this...

But We Soldier On
But we soldier on

Fought the Jap in 42 
Killed the Jap till they were few
Outnumbered mostly 5 to one
Kokoda tide turned and we won!

Don’t stay down, get up again 
Reefed up by your bootstraps man 
Sure you will be sad and blue 
Be a man...

Eight bells.
Starboard watch.
Tightened up another notch.
Holy upheaval rages ‘neath a cathedral sky.
Losing way as the wind whips up the spray.
Stormy tormentors rubbed salt in my one good eye.

Felt the tension in the rigging.
Sensed the strain upon the keel.
Manned the pumps and reefed the tops’ls.
Heaven’s judgment;...

'Twas dawn and all the sky blazed red.
The tell-tales snapped like waving flags.
The keening wind was full of dread;
all surplus sails were stowed in bags.
 
Though somewhere on the restless main
the sea was growling in the deep.  
Its purpose no one could ascertain;
but there...
