Best Straggled Poems

In the midst of a wet night,
Discovered myself upon a viaduct.
Straggled or vagrant, uncertain.
Not petrified by the dark, rumbling sky,
Amazed to find the place familiar.

I perceived the faintest advancing steps,
On turning back, delighted with her presence.
The cold, shivering breeze, 
Waved her black long hair.
I insisted...

Two Aloha-shirted Hawaiians 
of generous girth were strumming 
their ukuleles 
on a small stage in front of the hotel’s poolside bar
in the late afternoon, 
rehearsing for the night’s performance. 
It must have been the low season,
as both bar and pool were deserted. 
and the singer,...

A murder of crows straggled 
across the grey February sky
with light snow slowly falling
blanketing the world in untracked 
silence, until we crossed coyote
tracks setting off Xena’s baying.
Back home, after breakfast and 
coffee, I fired up the laptop to
pink flamingos before blue water,  
Windows 10’s...

Christ and the Soldier by Siegfried Sassoon (1916)

The straggled soldier halted and clumsily went down  "O blessed crucifix, I'm beat !"
Christ still sentried by a seraphim between two splintered trees did speak  
"My son, behold these hands and feet."The soldier eyed him upwardas...

September finally came. Dolly 
Was in Labor but she stated 
That she would deliver her
Babies at home. Damian Tried 
Gentle discouragement. "Naw,
Babe we will be patients at
Magnum Medical Hospital 
Center. We ain't gonna discuss 
This any further, understand?"
She said, "yes"...

I’ve
climbed the highest ladder
repaired frost damaged stone slab roof,
sat on top of telegraph poles
digging snow on Daughton heights
metamorphosis into maturity, was this proof?

I’ve
froze in seventeen degrees of frost
my spade glistening in winter’s feeble sun,
trespassed in mantles of unsoiled splendour
placed each doubtful step in trepidation
an enterprise...

Stings of sharp coldness
and side aches were the last 
of her worries 

Her broken toes straggled uselessy 

Branch after twigs clawed aboust her

Sharp rocks and stickers no longer
made a difference 

She ran no matter what 

Blood rushing from her head 
made her delusional 

Her head...

The ambulance ride only lasted
For 10 minutes.
Delilah was in Labor now
Experiencing strange labor
Sensations. They were orgasms
Dolly didn't want to admit that.
Most of both families swept into
The hospital 2 Hours later, A few
 relatitives at A time straggled in.

Molly and 
Damian both Kept Delilah calm 
during...

the squirrel in the yard has seen me
give up my worms to the dirt
only to feed the birds, and in turn
hear the chirps of more nightingales
the sickening chirps of january, 
the monotonous wails of january

on the fence, the straggled hair
still holds onto barbed wire
and sets...

Suspicion Fell on the Butler

'Twas a murky damp eve at the big house,
A frightening hallway clock tolls troll-less,
Hark the wayward butler a standard louse,
I glanced via the house he's gone I guess.

You're confident you've dug in everywhere,
Every nook and...

By the shore, with effortless strokes, he paddled.
On the bank, a pasture with holstein cattle -
Sitting there, up high on the wooden seat, he
        lazily dabbled.

Softly crept the coyote, prepped for battle.
Warmed by sun, a little one lagged...

Morning meditation 
With mission and vision 
To understand nature 
And Nurtured my being,
Morning breeze blew
My mind to surmised 

Darkened, smudged, 
Blurred to the darkness realm,
Merciful Messiah turn merciless..
And Cursed the sinful souls..
Deep to the depth of hell, 
Anguished and torment 
gnashing of teeth without tears...
