Best Spoked Poems
My Little Red CorvetteSugar drops and colored gumballs,
An open skyline, an open convertible, and a white ragtop!
Black Perrelis, red caps, and spoked mag-frames,
Pacific Coast Highway, and her stairway to heaven!
A thousand charged horses on pure octane!
My deliverance, black rock cod, and pink champagne!
Her deliverance, Pacific Coast Highway, a...

The Whiskey Bottle WishThe Whiskey Bottle Wish
One late summer night outside a saloon in the mid-west, an intoxicated Dusty Rogers, stumbles out of the Bar nearly taking one of the revolving doors with him. As he flutters on out, he catches his fall on the walkway hand...

Open SesameOpen sesame
An arm of Cern watch
Related to the eight pointed star
Sharing light
unto the mainstream
where no one
is even guaranteed a tomorrow
Truth never hides away
facts always remains
An old babylonion Queen
arises scarlet spilling blood of the innocence
Standing...

German WindmillsNurembered days
Numb
Dumb
The pain
insane
a breast to suckle
an ear to hear
walking dead
late but prayed
Gods fell asleep
Mortals played
tumors grow
Its the doctors show
Liver or die
Drink my dreams
or do I try
Lettuce and rabbits
seduction and undergarments
exposed in the rain
dancing in pain
rendezvous
cafes and empty tables
candles burnt
loves description like flames
fades away
easy to...

The Lean Old MenThe lean old men in my vicinity
wake to find themselves a day older
then turn away from the mirror to reflect
on their miserable circumstance.
Then they masque their decay with cologne,
snap on their one-piece spandex sportswear
and wheel off to meet their ancient colleagues for tea.
Along the way...

AnimalAnimals in top hats,
Ride bicycles en road,
Spoked wheels and pedaled spats,
Round about, in ornamental spode.
Animals in monocles,
Spectate in obeisance,
Cuffed by inked chronicle:
Renascence-linked complacence.
Animals in Model Ts,
Toot along en route,
To queue below burlesque marquee,
Bloating bruit by gloat and brute.
Animals in suits,
Sustained by entree manner,
Tasting...

On WatchHe stands behind a wheel thick as a mans wrist, ornately spoked and polished, its diameter
half his height; which he fondly strokes as he gazes upon a horizon, red, as in anger, yet,
knows this is not the case and smiles.
His beard, speckled with...

Questions AskedWhere are the sleeping giants that never awoke
Where are the dragons that long ago spoked
Were unicorns is common is pretty rainbows
Were Martians living on Mars in droves
Is the Garden of Eden a real earthly place
Is the face of Zeus the one Jesus replaced
Will El Dorado...

The Line of Lifein a thick milk bottle
a dark green one
which grandfather found on the beach after the war
having inside a shriveled yellow paper
without any drawing
without any inscription
the grandmother's ashes stayed for a while
grandmother being skinny
the bottle was almost empty
so the grandfather put the paper back in place
when...

King of the WorldSaw an old beggar with cup in hand
Pleading for coins ragged old man
Bald and toothless sight all but gone
Dropped him a coin he told his song
Once I was powerful and ruled the land
Anything I desired was at my command
Gorged on feast wine women and song
I...

The PerambulatorIt squeaked as it slowly rolled out the door
Trundled out the rusty gate
Over the sunken wooden bridge
and onto the sandy sidewalk.
The daily trudge had begun.
Nestled and nurtured within were the lives of her family
And children
Babies! Indeed!
Within were no laughing, lounging, cute or chubby faces
Certainly...

The Holly TreeLike a baseball in a glove,
I took my place in the holly tree.
From here, they must come and listen,
It's a grand slam... I shall speak cordially.
I brought enough food
to stay for weeks
until my simple message is heard,
digested from I, who's mild and meek.
And so they...

The IngrateHe barks at her with words as sharp is a fine razor
yet she continues all about as if it never phase her
Supper was cold my bed unmade coffee much too strong
no matter what she did for him it was always wrong
She darn his socks washed...
