Half-Dozen Ways

There's a MAGA 6-pack,
    Sitting aloft the highest bench.
Where they've decided once again,
    To throw in the monkey wrench.

It seems they weren't satisfied with,
    Just taking a peek in Pandora's box.
They had to turn it completely upside down,
    Shook it well, only to

Oh, to write a dozen poems

Oh, to write a dozen poems
Then…post only ten
To rise upon the morrow
Saying…”won’t do that again”

Half a Dozen Plus Years Ago the Following Became a Near Reality

Half a dozen plus years ago the following became a near reality

Countdown to homelessness – 
mars this earthlinked sole Harris - son
panhandler would would register 
pyrrhic victory won.

Found me linkedin at the end of my wits

A Dozen Iron Roses

Sometimes in life you r gifted a 12 bright red roses
And when they r presented they r often a celebration of
Love Joy Trust Peace Happiness Future
But then one by one something happens that causes them to wither
The 1st couple may be the weakest and the easiest to think you can let go of
A joke that

Baker's Dozen

Thirteen is a baker’s dozen,
Or a scary Friday night.
Missing in an elevator,
Or a 12-year-old’s delight.

Rite of passage from a tweener,
Cooler in so many ways.
Does it bring a new demeanor?
That’s for others to appraise.

An impish grin and razor wit
Make it hard to guess the years.
Daddy’s girl still loves to snuggle;
Raging, crying, full of tears.

Thirteen is an

Dime a Dozen

6/27/22

Instead of what of them
Shout out to my cousins
Damn look what the cat drug in
People often buggin'
Another useless discussion
They say it all comes a dime a dozen
Endlessly fussin'
Fighting over an english muffin
Usually from one being a drunken
At such a pitiful rate, none win
Eyes becoming sullen and sunken
Areas desolate or flooded
All of a sudden
It turned cold

Jeeper By the Dozen

A ninety thousand dollar Jeep,
And that’s a standard one, no less!
The ‘23 Grand Wagoneer
Conquers the school lines best, I guess.

If Coleridge dreamt of Rubikahns
With pricing up among the stars,
I’d search for stash of heroin
And check his needle arm for scars.

A capital idea though
And P. T. Barnum comes to mind,
So climb up in that Wagoneer
And leave

A Dozen Ducks

A dozen ducks were bobbing 
On the river - what a sight!
The fact that there were 12 of them
Just filled me with delight.

If there had just been 2 or 3
I’d not have been impressed
And, at first glance, a dozen 
Wasn’t what I would have guessed.

Of course I counted! Now, when thinking
Dozens, one supposes,
I should add

Dime a Dozen

(A guy told me today with total confidence that for women, men are a dime a dozen. That has never been my experience which inspired me to pen this piece.)

I could have collected empty soda cans 
from the side of the road and cashed them in
They were worth five cents apiece back then
I only needed

Walking In Ragged Shoes a Dozen Miles-

walk in these shoes a dozen miles
hang down you head like a defeated, disciplined child
think in your mind the times of strife you have
beating in your heart your last blood you bleed less

go asleep and as you wake
you awake just to sleep
and all your dreams you've been denied
come and go run and hide

Over the stones
over

A Dozen Roses

A dozen roses
 petals falling away
 one by one,
crimson red burgundies fading
 Cleopatra longing in seduction
 Anthony succumbing with every 
  touch at I love you;
fading red to gentle pinks
 reverent grace and innocence
 calling out to you,
a single white rose in purity
 Adonis wounded in love pursuit
 Aphrodite rushing to his side,
 set

A Dozen Octobers In Montauk

Fishing rods and reels, and bicycle wheels,
gentle thousand yard stare,
daisies in the dunes, measured afternoons
all without a damn care.
Bake shop coffee and wet shore like toffee, 
Hampton Star in my lap,
on the beach sipping, salty wind nipping
at thoughts of that day’s nap.
Sand like gold powder, piping clam chowder, 
oyster cracker crumbs,
shy deer in the brush,

Have My Money

She said she was interested...
She said she was single...
Turns out neither was true except for...
Money to pay for her shallow appearance,
her nails,
her yoga lessons,
her kickboxing lessons,
her makeup addiction to hide from the world her true nature.
Her definition of single and broke is vastly different from mine.
and not one mention... of the wellfare of her child

5 Decades, a Dozen Lifetimes

Born into an ordinary, churchgoing family
No one expected Satan to reign supreme
Relapse and rehab and sobriety chips
Postpartum vacations in the psych ward’s west wing
Three decades of life, aged twice as much
Finally lulled into domestic bliss
The wild can never truly be tamed
Excitement and fire I missed
Turned my passion of life toward writing instead
Cause 50 years old
