Best Urned Poems

Fun With Puns*


A shepherd and his sheep once took
A shortcut across a frozen brook
The owner charged a very high price
For pulling the wool over his ice

I didn't know if I were a wigwam or tepee
So I was really depressed and sort of weepy
Then a psychiatrist...

Squeezing out a saturated rag.
Torn asunder, pieces of a heart.
Head, eyes, lips, arms — sore-sag.

I’d thought I’d known weeping.
I was only dreaming; nightmares
hidden in caves, silently creeping.

A mime’s hand, waving away his smile,
pocketed in eternity’s change purse.
“Geez,” muttered, as a flood beguiles.

Tempest, no longer outside...

In the darkness of the night, 
a ruby gleams 
to contrast a slumbered eye awakened 
to feeling, 
reflection, light, 
Lady "Genie", eyes aglow
like a beast, in mid-stride,
lost in her midnight dreams is clothed in a revealing,
one that will go to show.

Her beauty is like a...

He was our best, an urn in time
With all the fragments of jewelled history
But now today hear how the bells chime
The griot's pen scroll another pain on memory.

For all his knowledge of the scrolls, 
the dark charon came and rowed him away. 
Surprise translates not...

The new roves are not like the old,
They purvey an unwieldy aspect
To their elderly kindred folk;
Even on this steep hill forms encroach
Upon an edifice grand of bygone grandeur;

 So to ‘Ghurt Muire’ that Jacobean domain
With its winding entrance avenue,
And meadows of barley cane;
There the ancient...

E nvoy to a poetical
N ew adventure, in a 
C ooling place,
Hi dden by an
A mazing green flora
N aturally, my writing is
T urned towards some
M ysterious ideas, and whose the
E ffects might resemble the
N octurnal atmosphere in a fairy
T ale. Touching!

T urned out by few, yes I played the fool.
A nother time I allowed a man to make the rules.
R eppressed to a point myself was almost lost.
N ever thinking what that would mentally cost.

(With Wormwood Dreams)
The fire and ice, heaven and hell equinox calibration of scales, scorched Earth
beneath a sky of epic fail of primary colors in triple beam, sale, cine-scene-
totem of hierarchial Archangels of Destruction of Kingdom of the Beasts in the headless sea of humanity unspared.

I've been working in the crematory,
All the livelong sob story,
Can’t you hear the gas jets breathing?
Play too close and you’ll get urned.
Plus we only queue up two-a-day,
So you could really mess us up,
too.
Till six o’clock when on the dot,
The valves are turned to plumb true,
The...

               Circle in the sand could tell a story 
of a lost world, where celestials and machines 
were one.
A crafty place where symbiosis is tasted 
on the tongue.
Chimera epoxies elysian forgeries,...
