Best Smudgy Poems

Within the frame a sepia scene
a dusty porch   a rickety chair   
the fabric of your dusky face creased
with ceaseless sunbaked woes
your old pair of getaway feet gives 
a different walk of life 
to an old pair of thrown-away shoes
two sizes too...

Botched Artwork Saves Town

Sometime last year, in late August 2015, something unusual went viral..
It was an ancient picture on the wall, vastly unlike its original art..

A piece of botched artwork, unfinished, and yet all over the world it enthralled..
People, the tourist kind, they made a...

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time, in France, a storyteller fella
Wrote of a girl named Cinderella,
Meant as a fairy tale romance.
Her daddy died when she was young, and she was forced to share his riches
With three monumental b****es,
A most unhappy circumstance.

For years her stepmom...

Dr Doom: Well Reed, we meet again, and excuse me for putting your dear ex to sleep, or she'd use her powers to conjure that defense shield that would make capturing the "Eccentric Four" a bit more tiresome.

Mr. Fantastic: Well, Doom...

Dr Doom: I'm a doctor!...

The reason is

Once opened please consume within three days
that's what the smudgy printed label says
'Best before' highlighted in big letters
for after that it won't get any better.
'Use by' is not for info, it's a warning
so you must eat it all up by the morning
You make...

It was the time when art was king,
Of artists whose praises  we all sing.
Great minds there were in the Renaissance,
Through eons , unsurpassed, with little advance.

Greatness was embodied in the works of art,
In Lorenzo's gardens did Michelangelo start.
But great there was one of Mona...

First light’s companion
Warm sheets and lovers embrace neglected
Tired boots slid on by tired feet
Patchy overalls with smudgy name tag
A quick kiss and out the door
Into the morning
Switch flipped, card punched
Onward and outward
25 years next week
Never missed a day
Reliable as the tools in the box
Solid...

You abandon me on my teenage fore To be reminiscent of our virgin love
To pang through the emotional lane
Seeking solace in our thoughtful plain
The words so rhyming were those scenes
We lived through with emotions spleen

Taking turns to hurt us more
Were active mind ready to recluse
Trust...

Maestro! I lost all the keys, all the lost keys
but I'm just a smudgy decoy, right? 
awoken after the rising superstition
awoken after the old wheelchair genocide

I was bored in this theatre marionette
as a hopeful jackdaw, as a monstrous cyanide
disembodied voices took my luminous ladders
to the...

black silk strands dance across my skin
and curtain her flawless face
smudgy desire lines her piercing eyes
as she moves toward a taste

her glance forms the unwilled
arching of my butterfly spine
liquid passion trickles down my thigh
sensation so divine

warm melting candy tongue
part her sculpted lips
love fangs peek out...

We live behind chipped nail 
polish and smudgy makeup. 
None of us are perfect, and 
none of us are whole.

We let boys carry our heart 
away on their gallant white 
horses,
Completely aware that they're 
not our princes. 

We cry at romantic movies, 
Only because we...

Many an angel does wear white,
Though the flawless, blinding, perfect cloth
Is seldom a part of the celestial uniform.

True angelic attire is as often as not
A bloodflecked smock
Inhabited by a cranky, caring cynic
Bent on saving you in spite of yourself.
Dr. Monica, Best Friend to my wife,
And...

Pieces of life
drift in smoky circles over the chimney
grey against the white blue sky we can track
smudgy darkness as it carries
up and over one hundred year evergreens
mixing with your clouds....

Through  the  vitreous  glazing of my  window, 
Strange eerie  darkness  torches  out, 
Milky speckles  twirl and  dance  along  the  sky, 
The  once  purple  sky has  been gracefully  transformed,...
