Campfire And Tall Tails

     Friends and sons come walking into the campsite all dress in camo 
 from their long day’s hunt. Around the crackling campfire, they all gather 
and sat to warm their much-needed cold wet bodies. Keeping warm
with a...

When I woke, Mom, I saw a parade
right before me! I wish it had stayed.
There were drummers and clowns,
lots of colors and sounds,
but in minutes, it started to fade!

Oh my! I just saw a big bear.
He was out in the woods, I swear.
He was so...

Attempting imagery after googling it once
This was supposed to be the blurb
But it's becoming the poem
My measure of success 
Is getting it right, with minimal effort
Because when I try 
And no one notices
I get a bit...
I don't know, maybe 
Splaying and unsplaying my fingers
Like I've...

Surely, Sherlock was rooted in the home.
But his ruby slippers
Had worn-out souls
So the jaded detective
Followed Fitzgerald and the lost generation.
But somewhere in between chapters
And the thicket of printed syllables,
He took a wrong turn
And found himself in neverland.
The lost generation 
Morphed into barbaric
Lost boys
And though the...

”…you don’t do that do you?...”

why yes indeed i do sir,
tell the tallest of tales, I assure,
it’s a measure of the truth.
the smallest treasure, know?
just to see how you ‘roll’…

anyone can use 
just words
and anyone 
can use just cause
but not the many
do to be, and...

FROM THE BIRTH
OR SHALL I SAY THE MOTHER EARTH
WE HAVE BEEN HOG TIED
SUBMITTED TO GENOCIDE

My dad can jump buildings in one go 
well he caught the elevator to the top 

My dad can generate electric
Well he put 50p in the meter slot 

My dad can fly up in  the sky
Well the day he caught his holiday flight

My dad's...

Oh, I shall tell tall tales today,
Full, great, big bushy lies.
A hairy tale, a scary tale,
All covered in disguise.

Just lying there, soon to ensnare,
A snake to give one fright,
But when my grandchild grabs at it,
It moves, to her delight!

Something’s amiss, this shaggy tale,
You’re starting to...

Tall Tales
By: Miracle Man

Sometimes in life strange consequences befall,
and in our data bases they remain for recall.
Things filed as truth we can never change,
but many, take liberty, and facts rearrange.

Some who wouldn’t dare, tell an out and out lie,
will embellish the facts just enough to...

The largest ice freezer of free-range Texan 
long-horns where mice wore fur to survive
broke down, the carcasses began rotting
thrown into the bay.
The day after, sharks came to the surface
throwing up, turning the water foamy 
For anglers, it was a bonus they caught...

the avenue's trees 

What is with this month of May
the day is as cold as November 
the leaves on the trees are full
and green, yet among the mass
of chlorophyll, I see many yellow
and Auburn leaves.
It is as if the trees think of autumn 
has arrived and is prepared
for...

*this was inspired by 'tall tales' that were collected and written by Zora Neale Hurston...this is meant to be humorous* 

I knew a woman
who loved a man
so much she 
couldn't hardly
take his touch
she would faint,
wake up, and such...
