Hyperbole
Poets poised pens pulsating poetry.
Writing wonderful words with wisdom.
Making muses manipulate marvelous minds.
Setting suitable selected scribing schemes.
Regulating reasonably reliable required rhyme.
Also adding acceptable allocated alliterations.
Notable nonsense not necessarily needed.
However haphazard humorous hyperbole happens.

THE JEWEL IN THE FORESTAfrica,
The undiluted genealogy of humanity and humility
The undisputed abode of nature
Surrounded by wild bushes, forests, winding rivers,
Uncountable mountains, endless valleys, sacred hills
And unasailable caves
The breeding ground for crocodiles, Gorilla's, Lions, Buffalo's
And unquantifiable exotic animals
The domicile of moonlight tales;
Tales laced with valor and splendor
Africa,
Where the stars and the moon defiantly compete...

takesHarvard’s a black hole, info wise.
So, let’s see.. what’s going on? What’s in the news?
Anything? Anything?
Hot take..
Not to be spicy and negative,
but sometimes i’m too much myself.
Too comfortable, open and vocal.
I can be opinionated.
Who knows who’s listening?
It could be anyone.
“That’s not red, it’s carmine,” I blirt.
There’s a rise and rush of feelings around the table.

No life, No deathOh death
The fear of countless souls
I adore your kiss
I need you close
When will we meet?
When shall you come?
It's too long a wait
Please come tonight
I don't know you
I know life is a tsunami
Perhaps you can rescue me
Where shall we meet?
Oh life
The lover of the lifeless
I've honored your presence
I gave you my all
Why...

Hi, It's Me
For the story
I would ruin it—
just to write it.
I'd be ruthless,
less private, shape up
my front porch,
sharpen these claws
on concrete
images—
metaphorically speaking
imagine
how to re-frame
bad guys,
wrench in a plot twist,
unmask villains' masquerading
makeup—
maybe even
find
myself....

I feel as if an ice cube
Peeing in warm thoughts:
My poetic cistern filled,
I now pour out this to you:-

The Charm Offensive Extrapolation
I wasn't as surprised
as I should’ve been—
grayed avatar,
dead links,
cached titles still looking
to lead somewhere.
And here I am,
already down
a cell phone—
with FedEx in no hurry,
nothing left
to refresh-obsess over.
What’ll I do
with all this time?
Not that this is about me—
or is it?
By the power of Strunk & White,
have mercy,
I hope
I can take at least
partial credit.
I’ll...

MediocrityWrite a poem
show poetic flare!
But not too deep
not too bright
surface is easier
to share – you can
take a reader to water...
but, Lord!~ you can make
one drink – too complicated
will just make a lazy
eye blink…....

InkThe ink of storms wreaks havoc on the unturned page.
Pulped filaments flop face-lessly before eyes once warm, yet frigid cold.
Daring not to expect much to read or write,
I stare blankly from the aughts of night.
Stars are but memories from books,
Overshadowed by polluted distances, smudged by the burn of business bustling below in the barrel....

F the Doors OpenI am he who says goodnight.
Don't take me for a label.
At least I'm from a time when thought,
Use portents undue fable.
Vuck doors and rules to hide lyrics lying for a sadist,
Lest the sense of selves perchance; employ spells of'n alchemist.
I invoke the inner man.
I invoke to see that who wants for...

We're Probably Getting Back Together Soon
My phone died this week.
I’ve ordered a new one—
I’d like to say I’ve enjoyed the silence,
just lo-fi music playing, slipping into a flow state.
But I’d be lying.
Only a handful of friends to tell.
Enough to register
the tragedy of going off-grid
like it’s 1503—
where I imagine
I’d be decent
at throwing logs on a fire,
but useless at...

I'm Sorry You're Missing
—all this.
You'd love it,
but you lost
personality privileges
when you bargained against
the middle of my chest,
never starting
compressions
even though it was you
who shocked me into
an arrest.
I'm still
trying
to break free of—

Ode to the Voice I Never Wanted to HearOh, the joy of telemarketers,
Who call you up without a care,
With offers they believe are clever,
But really just provoke despair.
They call with grand insurance plans,
Covid kits and credit schemes,
As if I’m some prized target
For their automated dreams.
“End-of-life” expense protection —
Oh, what a cheery nightly theme!
I nod along sarcastically
Inside my caller-haunted dreams.
And then there’s Medicare, of...
