Hammer Poems

THE PEPPERMAN AND HAMMER THE KITTY

   I OPENED A DOOR IN THE UNIVERSE 
   AND WAS GREETED BY A SPEAKING
   CAT.

   HE INTRODUCED HIMSELF AS
   HAMMER THE KITTY.
   ABOUT 2 FEET LONG AND SOLID
   BLACK APPROXIMATELY 12 POUNDS.
   HIS GREEN EYES SEEM TO BOTH

Echo of Lost Love

                                            Echo of Lost Love

       

When the Hammer Falls

I hear the echo, sharp and clear,
The auctioneer draws bidders near.
“One... two...” — my heartbeat skips a beat,
My dreams laid bare beneath their feet.

The years I toiled, the nights I lost,
Now measured out, now coldly tossed.
My labor sold in shouting calls,
Reduced to debt on auction walls.

I left my job, I chased the sun,
Believed in freedom,

Perhaps I should pick up a hammer

Insidious is internalized inception
What's real with all these questions?
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in
Broken legs but I still chase affection 
These walls are my blank expression
My mind is the home I'm trapped in
It's lonely inside an unfinished mansion

The sharp truth most people gaslight themselves and don't even realize it...
Have I detached so

A Hammer to Apathy

Forget the cautionary calls for restraint —
this world doesn’t need saviors.
It wants hands that claw at the roots,
Sick fangs that grind old ideas to dust.

Ideas aren’t soft; they’re detonators,
charged and ready to shatter the silence.
You don’t repair a broken machine
by merely shining its rust.

The absence of thinking is a pandemic—
eradicate it like a disease.
Smash apathy

Hammer Head

Little nose
pressed against the tank window.
A shark is trying to eat it.

The kid does not move.

The shark slams against the glass,
thump, thump, thump,
it keeps thumping harder and harder.
Perhaps the boy is deaf?
I should do something.
I do,
I edge myself away to one side,
then a little further.
Now I'm behind a small crowd of gawkers.

The shark is huge,

The Hammer of Faith

The hammer of faith
Moves in stillness 
An episode of brokenness
Brings forth the potency of faith

Sheltering pain
There is a way to gain
Faith still moves mountains

Faith’s beautiful river is streaming toward your destiny
Faith in Him can deliver the outcome you desire
The fire of faith moves in beauty,
As it burns through anything, therefore,
State the Promise
Live the Promise
Call on

A Paid Carpenter Will Work

A carpenter for a clean job poised
And for a new ceiling I rejoiced.
Like soldiers' flag he did ceiling hoist,
His eyes of full true confidence moist...

A carpenter who knows a good joist
upon him you can't a bad one foist,
From afar would pick its sad fake smell,
Long before his hammer hits the nail.

The poised I had his

Big Or Little Hammer

Who’s been struck with even little hammer 
And his lips failed to curses yammer:
“Son-of-a-” not part of grammar:
For a blow, mortal, control stammer?

Struck with a big or a little hammer!
One is sure to enact a drama;
Golden voice hatching golden stammer,
Striker: replica of Osama 
While one is far flung from Obama: 
A writhing cut tail of

Luke Tries To Mar a Marriage

The clouds dispersed and brightened
And Luke looked The Frightened
His long bright look had darkened,
A week’s prayer not hearkened:
Not that of fervent farmer
A long parched Earth is Hammer
There’s a union he’d cancelled
And sought it by The Rains sealed;
An arranged Heavy Rainfall
That should drown Reception Hall:
Bride soak down to her undies,
Bride groom asking “What’s just this?”

Twelve thousand

Hammer It Home

Trump specifically detailed
How to delay ballots mailed
"Make America Great"
by generating hate?
The Trump Administration FAILED!

Hammer

Hammer hits the jewelry counter.
                                      encounter with a criminal - yesterday.
She was working to make some money.
Instead received

Mike Hammer

I was a self-admitted misanthrope	 
unwilling to lose or drop a case.
I often threw a rope-a-dope
just to win; I never lose face.

I worked the dark streets
for dark, and even darker, clients
while the cops walked their beats,
shadows showing giants.

As far as I was concerned,
they were all a bunch of losers.
They were bad; they’d get burned.
The lot

Hammer Strikes Nail

hammer
               handy, headed
     clutching, sounding, striking
bludgeon, mallet, pinpoint, fastener
  protruding, retracting, projecting
                pointed, rusty
       

Tuff Stuff

I'd got out the hammer, the hatchet and pliers
To attack the package of plastic and wires.
     But the fix was so tricky,
     The stickum so sticky,
I'd not even scratched it when I set it on fire!
