Best Unworkable Poems

O invisible sympathetic listener
Will it annoy my elder Hitler-sister-in-law?
(O my colleague! An Arabian teacher, mocked English
and fought me for its ambiguity);
I mean my wife’s sister.
Like the Jerusalem
With ‘What Must Be Said ’!
Or but to stop this stupid self is …!
If I say I respect her,I...

Letters, words, and phrases
Once piled, filed in my brain

Dumped went all the drawers
     Words went all askew
          Files, unsorted, scattered
            ...

Gardens, houses, metaled roads, no tractor and mower
Speed limit grows in reverse, bigger and slower
Brick and concrete slowness teks ower
Sixty, forty, to thirty, where does it stop ?
Down to twenty wi’ houses on top

The infrastructure is little
Planners and government fickle
Greenbelt is pointless and brittle
Farmers berated...

Let's share our love
The love we know little about
As our hands feel each other
So would our souls
Tell your boss to day is unworkable
And i will tell mine
Today is unmissable.
Today we shall harvest the fruits of love
From our Tamarind tree
Which we grew together
Today we will share...

Meeting a natural blonde with sparkling eyes, 
With a kind of beauty no matter what she tries. 
Whose smile is opened with glad expression,
Consigning my heart with a loving impression.

Just like stained window glass sparkling and shining, 
She’s a stunning brunette shimmering from within.
Her beauty...

Ideas that seem to be   Abysmal, to others,
Ideas that seem to be   Big, to others,
Ideas that seem to be   Crazy, to to others. 

Ideas that seem to be    Dangerous to others,
Ideas that seem to be ...

So what country did you make?
Is it a penthouse, or a rented cubbyhole
in the same sky high city where the difference
is the size of your hold-out that can also peer out.
When the TV is silent and sullen
 do you wonder
what other country you belong to?
Do...

Imprisioned deep inside is the existing power of guilt,
unworkable to disregard, the power has now built.

I feel no shamelessness to relinquish this unwanted strength, 
as its been my chaperon for its unwanted length.

A Shadow of displeasure hauls over me like a dismal cloud, 
corrupting my...

Today, keys and battery proved
The old dear won’t move anymore.
The conscientious mechanic tried,
Even decked a fake trunk to cheer me up.

A lump in my stomach arose when I thought of her,
The cool highway, the cowboy hats
The love of her, until, until
She used that mind of...

She's a Cyndi Lauper look-alike.
had a ‘one hit wonder’ back in the day;
a tune about some balloons and a bike.

She's not new anymore
but still a ‘hip’ artifact for sure.
Glittered eyebrows, bangles, and beads,
she’s what any wistful old guy

Hello to all soupers..  My best wishes to all.. I am trying to get to grips with a
Narrative account, of a meeting I had way back in 1994 which only popped back
In my mind January of 2023.' It is mentally difficult to recall the...

The Four Seasons

All the world has four seasons,
why do some think they don't?
They all present differently, 
no matter where you are on earth.

We don't need to think we are supreme 
beings because we have snowfall.
Nor should we down our sisters and 
brothers who choose a...

Standing up, on top
straddling the seesaw
one foot on each side, now.
Whichever way I lean
sends the upside down
and the downside up.
Slippery slide 
to the flip-side
is unworkable.
It's lunge, parry
riposte....

Beggar, beggar
brazen beggar
Bluntly begging
for a buddy
Ain't that silly? 
Most ludicrous!
Beggar, beggar
bratty beggar
blatantly blathering
about her blunders
Ain't that shameful?
Most insensate!
Beggar, beggar
bouncy beggar
bragging boldly
about her bounty
Ain't that funny?
Most hilarious!
Beggar, beggar
blithe beggar
boastfully blagging
about her prattle
Ain't that stunning?
Most astounding!
Beggar, beggar
bumbling beggar
bemusedly begging
for heartbreak
Ain't that woeful?
Most ruthful!
Beggar, beggar
my dear beggar
please stop...

Used to be that planning your day around the breakfast table,
Was no fable,
And made perfect sense.

Now of course that is unworkable,
As most now text able,
But have trouble making a lot of cents,
As discussing only failed plans at the tea table,
Does not make you work able,
And...
