Best Trippers Poems

Five miles of neatly spaced suckered palm planted 
Bustling promenade,
Not withstanding a provincial cafe-culture 
Of restaurants and exciting little bars,
Enhance upon regal elegance of the crammed hotels
Regency period style facades;
Their fashionable shadows slowly lifting and slowly falling
Across the lines of deferentially, slowly moving cars.

Trundling on...

Wherefrom poetry shades recall,
and the other side of yesterday
is but a dreamt hallucination,
can't see the foliage from trees'
darkly forested boundaries,
insofar as frivolous moonbeams 
agitate sun's glorified imagism 
'midst hues of baubled madness
& vaporous sentiments are replete
within day-trippers' remote motives,
shadowing delusional chicanery
of rosé-tinted Jedi mind tricks...

Advertising triolet poem with narrative:


 Toyota Revo
(triolet)

A four-wheel drive,even purchased as second-hand
Still runs smoothly and safe, never trundles around
With its superlative engine, mileage is grand
A four-wheel drive, even purchased as second- hand.
Best gasoline saver, once we've Toyota brand
A snazzy car for trippers,  now we...

Historical Brighton,
South coast of England,
Surviving foreign sea attacks,
Declining population,
Until the roads improved,
And the train lines brought,
More traveling visitors,
Located one hour from London,
Becoming a boarding point to France,
Trading the port’s economy,
Visitors started to arrive,
King George,
Constructed the royal pavilion,
No expense spared,
Glamorous! Eccentric glory,
Later sold to the city,
A...

Nightfall on 
   the metropolis 
Untold millions head 
  homeward 
Tired from the day's exertions 
They slow down and prepare for sleep 
   But the "night people" 
are just starting out 
They will fill the bars and dancehalls tonight

Coffee in the morning
with my bagel and cream cheese
is a daily routine which is sure to please,
it not only wakes me up bright and cheery,
but makes me fun and not too dreary 
as I pretend I am on a t.v. commercial,
drinking a cup of coffee...

Underneath their charm lies a deceitful mask,
Meet the manipulators.

They are deceitful.
They mislead to control other’s circumstances.
Their tactics can create feelings of sympathy towards them; 
As if they have an underlying pain.

Trust your deductions,
But never let your disgust lead you.
Never attack in front, never nag.

Most days I go to the beach.  I like to sit
in the warm sand and watch the waves.

Like a parking lot, the beach is heaving
with day trippers who have come to play.

Mostly I like to watch the body surfers,
as they maneuver and swim out...

Ol' Sea Snake's Carriage Ride

Cobblestones wobble and rock the carriage, 
as I circle these streets with Blue Bits and 
Derby Boy on this vibrant morning.
 
With the sun on my back and  a salty gale brushing 
by, my spirits soar as I imagine what...

Stones I Have Known

I know that stone - scoured smooth beneath the tread
Of workers' feet too early out of bed.
It sparkled finely to my childish sight,
A treasure rare, lit up by morning light. 
Its drooping lip a quiet toddler's seat 
For gazing out at life...

Along the water's edge, the grey waves
Break noisily in a white foam spray,
Curling carefully like well-permed hair.
Driftwood carried on to the shingle
Envelops the wind-blown plastic and
Frames torn pictures from worn magazines.
Gifts such as these on the rising tide,
Heaps and tangles of modern life,
Invade the left-lying...

Ordered by name, sights and tree trippers the climbing elephants sustain a marvellous wealth of injested missionary window ledges. Whilst eleven fleas are whipping cow excrement vast spectacular visions of a few beetles writhe in beds of silvery waters. It is neither a wishing spoon...

People all over the world search for truths;
They try to make sense of old mythology roots.

Some say elves and fairies are of the sun and the lesser light;
While others say they are day-trippers and bumps in the night.

Fairies are said to give fortune and fame;
mischievous...

i want to watch on the televisions
