Treating me like I’m lucky to know you
when you are so lowly I’d rather be lonely
here is a treat that I’m happy to show you
you’re in my life and then do not know me
deluding yourself in the view of your ego
believing your better when you’re not my equal
not saying I’m good but you are just evil
thinking you’re better than all other people
the world is a forest and you are a gibbon
you see very little when senses sense within
oblivious to all whilst selfishly driven
you think you’ve got talent you must be kidding
a child walking where adults are found
unaware of what is found all around
believing yourself through words you sound
challenging people that will knock you down
the ignorant bliss that you use as a shield
you’re French at Agincourt found dead in a field
what you have’s visible and clearly revealed
you’re mentally ill with belief you are skilled
offering nothing but a personal dream
of something you’re not and have never been
of someone you think you are nobody’s seen
thinking you’re alpha when you’re Mr. Bean!

The Donkey of Destiny
The party was set, the guests were invited,
The adults were happy, the kids all excited.
All going to plan; the hosts were delighted,
Then the Donkey of Destiny brayed – he-haw!
The Donkey of Destiny brayed.
The Board of Directors set forth their campaign,
To conquer their industry, supremely reign,
To guarantee ultimate financial gain,
Til the Donkey of Destiny brayed – he-haw!
The Donkey of Destiny brayed.
Military leaders made their decision,
Troops were deployed with painstaking precision.
Soon they would realise their tactical vision,
Then the Donkey of Destiny brayed – he-haw!
The Donkey of Destiny brayed.
To amuse the young children, a day out was planned,
Buckets and spades and sunshine and sand.
Ice-cream and fish-and-chips; seaside brass band,
But the Donkey of Destiny brayed – he-haw!
The Donkey of Destiny brayed.
There’s nothing as fickle as Destiny’s Donkey,
Capricious as weather, and sly as a monkey,
Be certain that everyone’s hopes will turn funky,
When the Donkey of Destiny brays – he-haw!
When the Donkey of Destiny brays.

As a parent I drool
To send kids back to school.
Far too much frantic fun
Drains me shallow, no pun.
Rowdy, raucous ransack
Leaves calm space out of whack.
Summer - precious and short -
For adults I’d retort .
Hot spot, wasted away
On young - I dare to say.
Blatant truth to be told -
Schools should shut in the cold.
For all we care or know
Children thrive in the snow.

Willie Wonka made new candy
It tasted like a mouth full of Brandi
Adults kept buying their share
Had their noses in the air
It gave them a feel of fancy

I visit you in dreams,
and my visit is always unexpected.
I’m always excited and more
than a little apprehensive.
.
In dream variations, your reactions shuffle
like poker cards - you’re surprised and pleased,
or wary, or even politely disappointed.
.
Dreams can be a harsh mirror and as in real life,
my emotions are poorly protected.
.
Brushstrokes of truth hide behind the
tricksy falsehoods of dream-scapes. After all,
I’m an unworthy suitor in practically every way.
.
In the real world, I’m sure early, favorable
impressions would fade to inevitable boredom.
I have that effect on adults - I’ve seen it
- a quick nod and I’m invisible.
.
I should be a bank robber - “What did the
robber look like?” the police would ask.
“Well... the teller would say,” fading off to vagueness.
.
I could stand right there looking at my phone.
“Did YOU see anything?” The cop would ask me.
“I was playing candy crush...” I’d begin,
but the cop would walk distractedly away.
.
By the time they got the video evidence, I’d be long gone.

(3 Haikus)
Immature - is a
word boring people use to
describe fun people
I should start a book,
a thick notebook to keep
inappropriate thoughts
Ever look at friends
and think, "Wow, we're gonna
be some weird adults?"
Sleep is my drug, my
bed is the dealer, my clock
the cops and school the jail.

There once was a young hooker named Claudey
Her laughter was exceedingly bawdy
The johns did not mind
Her breasts were so fine
Lacy panties were sexy and gaudy
On Tuesday she met a young priest named Joe
He paid his money and gave it a go
His collar came off
And Claudey did scoff
Being a mean-spirited little ‘ho.

It was fun
When I was young.
As I grew older it became more of a chore
That adults will not ignore.
Most of my stuff is attached to my heart strings
I can't keep my eyes from watering.
I simply can't bring myself to put anything on
The outside of my bedroom door
Furthermore
Here's a flash!
My stuff's not trash. It's my stash.
Who knows, if I keep it long enough it could end
Up on some museum floor
Greatly adored for evermore.

We lie to children as we teach them not to lie
a man in a red suit and his reindeer fly the sky
that chocolate egg was delivered by a bunny
and we don’t say how the baby got into mummy
A tooth fairy left them money in the night
you have to admit we say all sorts of shight
But as they grow, they learn, realise the truth,
soaking up knowledge of how the world works,
as adults they know you bull hit the youth,
and be fake superficial dishonest jerks.
As a child it’s called reality,
as an adult it’s called insanity,
but we allow the kids to have this magic,
because we know their teenage years will be tragic

As children
a snow angel was
a lovely
shape made by
joyful, flapping jumping jacks
on your back in snow
As adults
a snow angel is
someone who
rescues you
from grueling grunt work of snow
mountains blown aside

This Shadorma form poem was written in heartfelt appreciation of a kind neighbor who saw my snow shoveling misery and rescued me with their snowblower (before this wicked Midwest Winter totally finished me off)!

I am a bright yellow blossom
I spread beauty across the lawn
But, adults consider me a weed
And children play games
Wanting to pop off my head!
I am a Dandelion and deserve respect
I am prettier than muddy snow!
When I turn soft delicate white,
People shake me in the wind!
Do they realize my seeds spread more?
Now here comes a Dandelion plucking tool
Oh, My!

In the quiet that comes from the setting sun
I close my eyes, and hope for sleep
To soothe my soul with prayers to the ONE
As in the prayer, “My soul to keep”
A child would kneel by their bed then say a prayer
A simple little childhood verse
As adults, we can no longer kneel down there
‘Cos getting up ‘thud be much worse!

today feels like pinkness.
pink is girly and pretty,
two things i am not.
grapefruit is reddish/pink
and so is a pig.
piglets are cute,
but they are just as stinky
as pigs.
pink balloons can float up to space,
where astronauts will pop them
and listen to them cry out
the little pink secrets
we blew into them
when they were just young.
lips are full of pink.
they make pink pouts
and pink kisses.
teenagers curse in their lips,
and adults curse their teenagers.
pink is a heart,
but not a real heart.
those are red and blue
and don't break as easy.

Intuition of a Politician Poem
Maybe there is much that I must mention
Like apprehension and intuition of politician
Perfectly confusing and at times all absurd;
What might be meaning of their each word?
Many words can be incredibly confusing
Also mishandled and then are misusing
Not only that being taken advantage of
And perhaps peaceful as a turtle dove.
Politicians still assume at their convention
Among ranks discovered much dissension
Forgot what once was their real intention
And refusing to accept a modern rendition.
In splendid past politicians now are living
And taking much more then ever giving;
Why would politicians write poems anyway?
Cover up ignorance not wanting to display.
My poems must make them perfectly clear
Merry Christmas and have a happy new year
Where have all of the weird politicians went?
And which of the idiots will run for President?
