The Poets Duel


I consider myself the poet
Of historic love affairs
Not the Romeo and Juliette’s we all know
The ones mirrored in lesser history of lore
Like Heloise and Abelard
I was the king of this poetic style

Then came along the competition
He thought somehow he could outdo me
With his...

While a roaming in the gloaming
many years ago,
with steps so jerky I met a turkey
swaying to and fro.

Now being lonely and awfully homely
I hoped that by a chance
my new found friend might help me end
my lowly social stance.

I looked at him so sleek and slim
and...

Now who do you think,
you really are,
after two long hours,
in the neighborhood bar.

That smirky smile,
tells me all I need to know,
when you come out,
your car will be towed.

I have told you once,
and I have told you twice,
you have met your match,
enjoy your walk tonight....

Trippy turtle was kind of slow today
I told him to get out of his shell in a while
So we went to party with smirky the Hare
Who was way too high
He didn't even remember inviting us there
Turtle and Hare reminisced
About the days when the wild was...

The king is dead! Long live the king!
History of rulers is no different from ordinary mortals,
The crowns and kohinoors travel from one head to another uneasier head.
Emperors, Monarchs, Kings, Pharaohs abdicated
By methods natural and unnatural,
Thrones usurped, kingdoms conquered, succession relinquished,
For the joy of wealth, and...

Three kittens looking so perky,
Appealing eyes of slanted green,
The cats cadge a serve of protein,
As I eat my sandwich of turkey.

Surrounding my chair so smirky,
Their longing looks soon seen,
I throw meat from the tureen,
On an impulse quite quirky!

Three kittens looking so perky,
Appealing eyes of slanted...

Darling,

I can't stand the state
my heart is in
every time she speaks
your limbs trot away
and I feel so alone 
in my poetry,
words barely comfort me

So take them, dear
I don't want the language
of my pen to speak anymore,
I'd rather make love to you

Heartsickness is overly dreary
and my...

I’m quirky and smirky yet tender with affection,
dorky at times, a little flirty with my hubby.
I love the feeling of a real genuine connection,
an get down and dirty even though a lil’ chubby.

I feel with my heart on my sleeve without reprieve, 
know not of...

There is no better enemy than ones’ loving family and friends
For it is they who know all the ifs' and where your troubles begin
No need to look outward but to only look within
The company of those that surprisingly come to mind
They who come around you...

Growing up in twentieth century USA,
without a recent immigrant history,
nor a Native American indigenous heritage,
just another in-between victim 
of Straight WesternWhite Male privilege,

I recall a smirky fuss 
about Eastern mind/body connection,
pseudo-science,
nondual
nonviolent
inscrutable
paradoxical
unrealistic philosophy,
meditation as if medication.

It did not occur to me,
in my enthusiastically extractive
and exhausting youth,
that...

Flashing Lights Behind

By Elton Camp

There is a certain sinking feeling
When with a cop you’ll be dealing
Since whether you are guilty or not
You are about to be put on the spot

What claim does he intend to make?
Perhaps you did make some mistake
Or behind a sign his...

Long time since I have been to a nightclub
they don't let me out at night alone now.
I used to be sharp
had many friends in low places.

I miss the culture, the sweaty maneuvers
under hypnotically pulsing lights.
The aroma of nubile sex
and just maybe getting lucky.

Back then, you...

Call me spoiled, call me late for a date, call me casual or smirky or crazy
But do not call me sloth-like, sluggish, disengaged, placid or lazy.
Call me from Mexico, Canada, China, France or another fine place.
Call me from Venus, Mars, or a meteorite from outer...
