Flying Poems

I awoke to a clashing and clanging coming from my kitchen; in the hallway, I did stumble upon a frying pan.  A cautious peek revealing nothing left me to grab that frying pan for self-defense, should I need to...Read More

We all need a little magic
Magic and intrigue
Can be sad or tragic
Imagination can feed

When a clever magician
Pulls a rabbit from a hat
Everyone laughs and claps
Nothing can be wrong with that

Then, dressed very smartly
In his evening dress
The conjuror pulls out some...Read More

Like a fairy caught in fire 
Like a bird flying with no Air
Like a butterfly set on pyre 
Like a daffodil caught in a tyre
Like all hope mere a satire 
Like all dreams out on Hire
Like in ruins her every...Read More

Beautiful becomes the rain
When it falls on the plain..!
Flying helter-skelter are birds
While I have no words
When eagle flies so high
Up above in the sky
Morning is full of dew
I yearn to play with few
After rain sun gets shine
Wow! Pleasure is all...Read More

To get from A to Zee,
Requires Speed,
That and other trash;
Have whatever you fancy,
It’s Happy Hour,
Ice, Coke, Crack, dope……….
Know what I mean!

Ok admitted - not easy!
People need dough
To get what they crave,
Either you push
The stuff,
Give your body away,
Or you’re Daddy’s little...Read More

ODE TO OUR FLAG

The Flag of the Great Nation of America consists of seven stripes of crimson red which stand for all the blood that's been shed.  Mingled with six stripes of brilliant white denoting the purity that lead...Read More

Dandelions and daffodils 
Baby's Breath and violets, mix
 
In flowerpots on window sills 
A sparrows nest built broken sticks
 
Cracked open shells, first flights from chicks 
Testing their wings and flying skills

One day they'll learn to make their fix 
A...Read More

A Blustery Autumn Day

Mischievous bursts of autumn’s laughter
Pulls down the last of the season’s bright artistry
 Carried away on blustery gusts,
  Weaving a tapestry of autumn’s magic
    In tiny whirlwinds of yellow, orange and umber –

Marvelous mitzvah "munchkin" minted

Thy eldest daughter Eden Liat
treasured more'n a pearl
(otherwise known as Rapunzel)...
donated cut hair to charity - you go girl,
ha, whereat your fine brunette locks of love

will be repurposed into wigs for kids,
and perhaps even don kepi

Birds seen flying together in large flocks tonight
Words of warning sounds emit as coos and cackles
Herds of cows start running toward the barn door light
Blurred together as a murder of black crows and grackles

"Black Molasses"



Black Molasses 
holds to ransom 
footprints 
sucked into 
Tropic of Capricorn mud
as bushfires bleed
sugar from cane
like molten glucose 
shot into the veins
of Mother Earth gone all
libertine sour 
like Lemon Grass
crushed and burnt 
acrid smoke inhaled
through the flaring nostrils 
of...Read More

Airports a blur they look the same
From one big city to the next
Departures delays and arrivals
Morning noon and night
Stuck midway in transition
The epitome of boredom
Everyone with a place to go
Their script their ticket and their mission
They all have a story...Read More

Word Painting In Black and White

Cubed ice dismantling the plank bridge with pliers 
made of syrup spilled with a dash of grief and brawn 
the reptilian doughboy mixes up another cosmic batch 
of truth cookies designed to mislead with wishes...Read More

The Roma

I can’t stop thinking of the Roma people
There are many of them in Algarve,
Horse and cart to the annoyance of car drivers.
Horse manure their only pollution.

When a bank goes belly up, you can’t sue them
For misusing your deposit.

When all...Read More

Have you ever imagined the feeling 
Of soaring above the clouds 
Only the breeze between you and earth 
Away from the bustling crowds 
  
With the constant sound of the fiery blast 
That keeps your airship afloat 
An oh...Read More

the date
it wasn't
random oh
no WE had a

planned on
schedule that
would put us in
front of each other

in an
airport
but we 
resorted

to finding
our flying
times and
matching

like the "Dating
Game" what was
ideal so that when
we would feel we'd

be so real
be surreal

my smile would
equal hers but
hers would be
blinding...Read More

On a back porch the feline sat
watching a busy sewer rat
while overhead a flying bat
diplomat of their habitat
observing preying pussycat
had to get even tit-for-tat
squealing he warned that sewer rat
it took off like a scared bobcat!

A Ghazal (in free verse)

Each tear I shed shines like the sun,
Speaks of the pain I suffer all-day-long and night.

Adrift on a boat, I move waywardly,
Where is the oarsman to take me across, save me from the sea?

The purpose is...Read More

Jane brought her therapy cow on the plane
Which drove fellow passengers quite insane
   They lit the cow's farts
   But Bessie took heart
Her perfume made her diSTINCtively vain...Read More

I stood in the snow frozen park
Leaned against a tree, not feeling too well
Beneath skies filled with gray clouds
I looked between the birch trees
And I saw the birds flying
I heard them singing in the stillness
Then I closed my eyes and...Read More

It was 1942 a year after the Pearl Harbour attack
When Hawaiian radar picked up a plane as a fact
So a patrol was scrambled to seek it out
And they encountered a P40  fighter flying alone
It was shot up with its...Read More

There's that sound again
A sound of dying 
And the company of a friend

In this twilight shine
Black ash and a silver cloud
This sliver of hope makes a dumb man proud

It doesn't matter
If to the left or right this wind blows
This is...Read More

Your hair blowing is too lofty
Every thought speaks of impossible love
Radiant and respectable
Down to earth, and still far away

You've shivved me in the heart
And I'm content with that
A simple breeze lays waste
To a dream bleeding out like this

It's alright, I've...Read More

Desert Walk

I long to take a desert walk,
Where stunning violet shadows stalk,
And high-flying eagles circle my way,
Curious about what I will say..

Silhouetted in a streak of...Read More
