Dickens Poems

Writing Like the Dickens

    It’s so hard to start
    Brain and pen, poles apart

       Yet two lines in, the pace quickens
       Soon you’re writing like the dickens

    Thoughts stream in and out your head
   

Tale of Two Cities and Two Captains

Well what the Dickens is going on?
My choice as the greatest scribe and voice of our tribe
Charles not himself a cricketing man but definitely a fan

Twas…the tale of two skippers and two cities
Both burdened by the weight of Great 
Expectations from both nations

Cometh the hour cometh the Shubman
Cooing classical looks…wooing crannies and nooks

Eschewed the media

Dickens' Other Christmas Story

Jingle bells
and reindeer smells -- 
note to Mrs. Clause: 

before Eve-trip, to reduce
scent and slip, no beer
and sardines for Rudolph!

That damn Guiding Red-nose
needs to find other fuel for
his radiant beam-glows! (takes a lot
to piss-off Santa)
 
It was a foul dilemma: 

Every time Dancer, Donner and Blitzen 
rose, Santa was forced to awkwardly stretch and
pinch each

Dickens Christmas Carol Revisited By Nicked Saint

Dickens Christmas carol revisited by nicked saint

Frigidaire - from upper atmosphere 
hammering and whipsawing debris 
ferociously with an angry flare,
cuz mother nature - fed up to here
(re: envision me hands indicating 
over top of head) for humanity 
scurrying without a care
leaving heavy-duty footprints 
blotting out those 
of Santa Claus' ancestral reindeer

(and indiscriminately trouncing
flora and fauna

Power of Words

My maths teacher said I'll be nothing, 
Algebra and calculus caught me dozing. 
My Chem teacher condemned me too, 
For chemicals sent me straight to the loo. 
In physics I was called dumb, 
For machines made my mind numb. 

Nothing but words excites my passion. 
Lyrics and sonnets the real temptation. 
Dickens and Ng?gi I

Dickinson Love - Or What the Dickens

I
If u loved, you may write sound poetry;
If u loved & lost, words add a higher degree
Of lonely beauty and crowded clarity

Love and loss point to truth, reuniting
Where all are level, Scripture doth remind
Before this act, stage, LILA in Hindu mind

Marley Plays the Bottom Line - With Apologies To Charles Dickens

Oh, don’t flatter me with presents from the Ghost of Christmas Past. 
Tis the season for nostalgia, but those feelings never last. 
It’s a gift-wrapped empty promise not worth tuppence on the street, 
Or a ticket to the opera when you’ve nothing left to eat. 

Oh, don’t weary me with visions from the Ghost of
