Best Unsuspectingly Poems

I'm a wad of gum,
Waiting patiently
You're my lowly victim,
So unsuspectingly!

All gooey on a sidewalk,
Diggin' your classy shoes
A sticky treat is lurking,
And you don't have a clue!

I can see your sole,
I even know your size
SQUISH! I finally got you,
My, what a sweet surprise!

I'm laughing as you...

My wedding day is special because

I stalked the prey
baited the trap
lured her unsuspectingly
out of the thicket
into the openness of love.
Circled stealthily her resistance
creeping ever closer,
listening to the thunder
of her beating heart,
feasting on the scent
of her unknowingness.

Slowly – ever quietly –
romancing the moment,
etching into memory
every blade...

I saw her sitting alone 
At a corner table 
Of a poorly lit inn 

Her blouse pink 
The color of 
Sweet smelling roses 

She had no clue 
Who else was in the 
Tavern and did not care 

She was reading 
From what looked like a...

In a facebook posting today, there is a most poignant episode of a senseless tragedy…

Impossible mission to captcha infinitesimal moment

alternately titled: tick tock runneth amuck
seconds elapse imperceptibly 
leaving me dumbstruck,
how quickly fleeting tempus fugit; 
ofttimes imagined as time thief.

Hence following vignette: quiet as a mouse lurks the time thief 

The invisible hours hoarder stealthily steals precious seconds (like minute...

My mind awakens
to this extravagant pull
  like being jerked
when standing to close
to a jet engine starting.
I feel my top rise,
   mind diving
      for the feel of the wolf
arising from its cage,
   surfing on a wave...

Please help yarn hexed door neighbor...

Yours truly pinned down by invisible 
vestiges of coronavirus and
getting attacked from angry plague 
of buttons, plus huge spools of yarn
grossly mistook me for human sock 
to seal and line with something foreign
sewing lips impossible mission 
even to force out...

Snoring bush pig
Relishing in  reverie like a hog
Trudge on day-dreaming
Wandering  beyond yonder
Think of no blunder in wonder-trance
Junking the Fourth Estate 
Jumping at the Fifth Columnist Estate

The men in trance  
Unsuspectingly saddled with the
Family’s mantle of leadership 
Their  eyelids basking to write
Their...

It’s unnerving how so easily
And nonchalantly I deviate 
Spin off in odd directions
Off on a tangent lose my path

Without roots and effortless
adrift I sway in the first passing wind
And let myself be carried away
By any summer’s night breeze

Captivated in some stargazing moment
Charmed by the beauty...

New Year's Eve 2022

Yours truly riddled with social anxiety,
hence (billy me) he will idle away
December 31st, 2022 
sequestered (with the missus) 
hunkered down in his mancave
while madding crowd  
entertains reckons partition of time 
into seconds, minutes, days, 
weeks, months, years... 
as artificial man/woman made...

untimely death sentence ordained 
approximately six months prior 
to mother dearest celebrating 
her seventieth birthday,
though the last three years of her life

during the month of June 1955, 
not quite half a century later ~ May 4th, 2005
death severed the pledge...

i am going to sit down here
try this cheesecake ice cream cake
with a dollop of cool whip
listen to the waves crash as i 
listen to some oldies from the 50s 
and early 60s

i am going to let the rhythmic 
crashing of the waves take me...

The heart of  the poet bleeds words of  the conscious  
Strung like beads  into a design that is precious
A collaboration of the senses and the mind
To the poet heart. the two are entwined
When the mind begins to see,  touch or...
