Best Scare Off Poems
On Finding a Dead Deer In My BackyardI saw them a few weeks ago. My wife called me, something urgent,
so I left the computer and went to see what excited her.
Three deer, 3 young deer meandering round our 1/4 acre backyard.
They look thin she said, I agreed
(not saying it was not a...

If I Were Five AgainIf only I could be five once more
With all the knowledge en wisdoms from distant shores
Oh what a time I would have
At only five, I would be a devilish lad
I would file tax returns just for fun
Only because I have no income
I would say five...

BeesSummer spring bright colors, smells, flowers blooming welcome feast
Amongst these bees so irresistibly attracted to sugary nectar
A thought occurs to me, to see these little buzzing specters
What kind of journey , these perfect pollinators wander
Antennas smell and measuring flight, zipped away to honey...

Grazing the GardenI retired a couple years ago
and decided to take a gardening class
because otherwise I probably would starve
even with food stamps,
given my retirement plan
was mainly to live off my still-freeloading adult perpetual-children.
This gardening class cost more than it was worth,
so just about exactly what a reasonable...

You'll find me
in paddy fields and gardens;
even on front porches.
I'm a decoy, as lonely as can be.
I look frozen in time,
mimicking Jesus
crucified on the cross,
but I swear I mean no disrespect,
you religious zealots!
Blame farmers and gardeners!
They...

Lonesome CowboyI heard tell some folks think cowboys built the West.
The only thing I know for sure is I always did my best
to give a man a good days work for an honest wage
ridin' among tumbleweeds and dried brush of sage.
I wear a Colt 45 to...

The MoonI look up at the sky
The moon ,it's on its way up
There is something that makes me hiccup
Hiccup with fear
That something is very,very near
Werewolves ,zombies
It is unclear
All I know
Something is very very near
What was near
I'm still unsure
But I look up at the sky
It looks really...

My Marigolds StinkMy Marigolds stink
yes, you heard me,
if I accidentally touch them
they smell like skunk pee.
I can't stand being near them
'cause they stink so darn bad,
these are the stinkiest flowers
I think I have ever had.
Sure, they look nice and all
bloom out quite nice,
but I think their stink

In the Darkest and Coldest WorldIn the darkest and coldest world
one can find a flickering flame,
never allowed to shine brightly and widely
and break the macabre darkness;
nothing could escape from here,
from its torturous and squalid abyss...
where each demon has a frown of austerity:
ah, in this obscure confinement, I'd be afraid!
In...

Bornagain GrandkidsYour grandfather wants to apologize
not just for voting for Donald Trump,
but also for praying he would continue in Presidential Office
with YHWH's fertile blessings
of sacred ChristCentered Hearts and Minds,
economic and political leadership of divine Retributive Judgment.
Honey,
I think you're about to lose them
with this punishing narrative.
Why don't...

For the Maggot's FunOften times when we glance at the mirror
Staring through its lens in powdered face.
We marvel, we wonder and ponder
Over the physical flesh.
O! Do you sometimes cry
Wishing you were carved from the finest of marble,
Or you smile when showers of compliment flood your being?
If only beauty...
