Best Unrolls Poems

Cape, strength and the mask- of one in disguise 
dawn, the light shinning through- here in my world
Oh.. to see your identity- those eyes
Dodging everything at you being whirled

My Superman!! Defender of things right
Power, your ability to stand tall
here in my world, shining through, is...

Galactic curls in spirals swirl, entwining twisted mystery,
where time unrolls in blackened holes, no longer bright and blistery,
but writ like runes on starry dunes enclosed in cosmic history

Galactic dust, from novas' gusts, congesting empty spaces
once fatefully flung beyond the tongue of burnt out astral traces,
may...

Looking into the black crystal
I prognosticate;
the future unrolls
as a sheet of silk.

Swirling, curling, unfurling;
auric waves pin wheeling
in the blackness
of the stones heart.

Energies tickle my skin
soul-melding transmission beamed
through my all-seeing eye;
I am terrorized, traumatized,
elated and mesmerized.

In visions of a future, bleak
tiny happy diamonds peep
through occlusions both

Beware the wrath of the Northern Polar boogie man, 
The Anti-Clause, a legendary beast of nightmarish voracity,
From folklore mythology, a dark creature of demonic prowess,
Lurks in the hidden shadow realm, in a freezing forbidden zone,
Of Artic temperatures deadly depth, where raw instincts thrive
On basic survival...

Sitting on a rusted blue bench the sun blew down on me a cool 
     green and yellow as the afternoon tucked me into 
     bed,      

The depot was old, no busses...

The flies like molasses clinging firmly to his back,
as aimlessly he ambled along the dry dusty track.
Like a wave of the ocean the flies would swarm to his face,
but were expertly dispatched with his gum branch mace.

A battered farm ute lurches forward to a stop,
"Give...

Brothers are connected by genes.
 … But that is not all!
They are connected by friendships.
 … Lasting a long time!
They are connected by schooling.
… Similar training!
Or perhaps, by visions alike –

Yes, many people are brothers.
They may differ in color … race.
Religious beliefs may bind them.
Some...

I’m like a kernel in the bottom of the popcorn bowl, as my Trolls abound.
But then, I feel all buttered up when my son comes running around.
My Hubby gets the munchies, and then runs off to enjoy the Trolls.
But he thinks I’m cute and fluffy,...

A Tribe of Trolls

A tribe of trolls escaped their cage! 
Now rabid wrath and rancor rage.
Hurling hurt from hidden hellholes
(most notably, their toilet bowls),
they flush their filth across your page …

Anonymity sets the stage
for word-“warriors” who rampage
as today’s internet unrolls
a tribe of trolls …

Let’s hail...

my eyes meet up with yours as we walk
the swans flying form a heart as they flock
we jump holding hands off the edge of the dock
the summer water is a refreshing as can be
swimming together out to the old rock
as the sunset shatters into the...

Boy,
When all is said and done
Like a mighty uncanny wind to by pass
Let it not be ever a whistle thereof
When in youth you sprout forth
And be a determined shoot
To avenge the wrath of retardation
And in the light walk right
Avenge boyish dreams
And cast away the dilemma...

Life is too short to be worrying about he said she said
It only starts problems and drama and the fire soon starts to spread
Yet the truth never unrolls its self like a spool of thread
And the results are friendships and relationships start to crumble and...

Pocono Dawn

Dawn crept over the horizon,
like a muffled piece of grey felt;
cloaked in mist, blanketed in opalescent fog.
As the minutes pass, 
the powder blue of morn seeped atop
jagged toothed conifer forest.

Clouds turn from periwinkle to azure,
cotton batting unrolls filling the firmament.
Slowly, softly, the sunlight 
bleaches...

Listen: The Lyrical Lilt
that lilac
and lavender
lend to our language,
like leased luggage purposefully lost,
unrolls from lifted 
tongue
to level the valley 
and shallow
the depths of the gorge.

A full closet...
