Dank Poems

A Dank Day

Today is a dank day
veiling a sullen sun;
cloudy and overcast
with shifting shadows as
breezes blow hard and fast.

Today is a dank day,
dribbling droplets of rain
water a thirsty earth;
nurturing Nature and
hastening Spring's rebirth.

Today is a dank day
melting white into green,
dabbing it on the trees;
and promoting sprouting,
the soil starts to unfreeze.

Today is a dank day,
drizzling April showers;
yet, it's

Dank Grey Day

Day dawned dank grey.
Sky pre-washed to ashen, cuddled in.

Cats on tippy-toes dipped their toes in puddles
stalking prey, huddled to pause, slumbering in.

Birds ruffled dew drop spots from feathers,
distracted to pause their prattle tattle calls
by the gloom of low slung clouds engulfing the din.

The dank cupped hands of horizon clouds 
called for hush in prayer
to say

Stranger

In public
I am the walking quiet
of transparent air.

I huddle
humid and torrid
behind pages of my past.

Night will speak
to me. I am couched
in her embrace.

But when I return
to people, I reek
of her dank air.

I avoid getting saved,
the safety of solutions.

My heart attack is
failure under scrutiny,
reaching the world like
an actor of lost languages.

Dank

The dark was damp, dank 
a clammy scum, clung. 
A sticky wet seep, stank.
The tainted tacit touch of skin 
was rough, cold and slimy, 
not warm, smooth and welcoming.
Our love was rank, dank, done over.

How Dark and Dank That a Life Was Taken

How dark and dank that another Police person's life was snuffed out.  How ungrateful that we humans should suffer a loss.  That one person should take another's life without dignity.  I believe that this person's life must have counted for something great.  Yet it was snuffed out, just like that.

Dank Pants

A fisherman sat with line all lank
perched on crooked stool that soon sank
backside now all mud covered
his face an embarrassed red
off home he went with his pants all dank.
