Best Scanners Poems

I work in the retail sector
and everyone's gone mad.
It's really very amusing.
It's really very sad.

Toilet paper and sanitizers
have flown right out the door.
Though everyone is asking
we've no idea when we'll get more.

The face masks of every type
are hoarded like they're gold.
Even the ones for dust...

I’m visiting the Manor with the paranormal society
It’s said to be haunted; I’m filled with some anxiety
The Duke was murdered, bringing his lover notoriety
With bloodied hands she’s found guilty of impropriety 

The Manor is so spooky, at one time it looked so grand
I startle as...

(inspired by ‘Dusty Rose Dreaming’ by poet vb)

We’re powdered city girls heading into a club,
bright orchids entering the hothouse
spreading fun with noblesse oblige,
qua somethings suited for silver screens.

Our attention’s as uncertain as the stock market.

Experts at mixing trickery and disguise,
we’re but vague summations of nature,
as...

A Godsend, a child, our gift from On High.
Lord bless this one, all he can and must be.
Eternal, now our name will never die--
High flying creation of you and me.

Our greatest design, the plan is perfect
Build sturdy engines that jet to the top.
He must understand...

Deception in the form of lies

Untruths unknown to no bound

Deciet that becomes concrete

A snare meant to trap its prey

Unknowingly, unsuspected  get caught

The wise and cunning

Will see thru what is presented

In the web some will get caught

Others will not

If it is a scam you find

Scanners...

[ ... story with context, a plausible universe with top and bottom
  a coat of cosmos covering
  over a subterranean protoverse of potential fields
  a quantum cellar creating
  the very big banging cosmos and much faster-than-light travelling

Many things can cause unease:
Heights, the dark, loud noises, fleas;
Crowded places, public speaking,
Rocking chairs that won’t stop squeaking.

Body odor, traffic, roaches;
Birthdays as old age approaches.
Vampire movies, tunnels, rats;
Caves with tons of flying bats.

Spiders, lightning, doctors, death;
Elevators, garlic breath.
Fire, bedbugs, snakes and worms;
Subways, strangers, germs, germs,...

"Hello Do I Know You" (I do know you)
Written By: Rodney Riggins


Hello how are you? Do I know you?
This feeling is happening for a reason 
as if it was meant to be. Quite frankly
I believe it is. Your voice spreads over the
airwaves like a warm...

When you find a marble in your hand or head
(And you will because it will be roundish)
Hurl it immediately at humans to get attention                   
It is abnormal...

lyrical animal it’s clearly tangible cannibal for poachers of animals
 radicals 
discarding anything valuable to humans saving sheep from wolves waking up sleeping bulls
wolf cry’s full moon howling 
I’m prowling on foot growling plans at thousands scouting riches capital 
casuals mentally dead readings from my...

I’ve been in line 2 hours now,
Some scanners somehow broken,
Annoyance and anxiety
Apparent but unspoken.

We inch along, a patient group,
With no way we can tell
Who’s on the side we each support
And that is just as well.

At last we are inside and now
Our ballots are in hand,
But...

We have sprinted on our paws
from silver fields into the ashen corridors
of Office-Max
How early we set our alarms, how grown up,
who don the coats of men,
despite the heat,
who drive on four wheels down Park Avenue
pasts the willing lemonade stands,
boarded shops giving way to digital malls
which...

Even as spirit leads, oh thou holy
Let canal be mindful, oh ye church
For the spirit without body wholly
Won't have total authority to perch

Considering the current happenings in town
Owo massacre isn't a movie
Hearts plights can not be measured; how so down
Yet many citizens see it groovy...

Who actually is like us
The modern world you see today
Right before your eyes,
Who done this and who done that
Well you’re in for a wee surprise.

From the Bank of England to the Bank of France
Then we invented the BBC,
How the hell did we manage that
For a...
