Lapel Poems

YOU ARE MY FLOWER

...You are a flower watered by pure desire 
Of a young heart so deep in love 
A red rose in the sun, you are my flower.

I know you are a flower ready to blossom 
Gracefully dancing away in the win...

Proud To Serve

...I’m proud to serve, that’s true as hell,
But sometimes I wonder why we’re here to rebel—
Not against the mission, not against the fight,
But the brass and the game that fogs up the right.
They sa...

Movie of Shame

...I was new at the Jewish senior home
In the center garden I saw old man read a tome
I asked his name, to start a conversation, 
"Marvin Klutznik", he replied, to my consternation.

I had paid so ...

Clouds

...Clouds spiral down and curl around to touch me
—not those western drizzle shrouds
baring a soul of misery mizzle
...though I adore a good wallow in sorrow  —no 
these clouds come from yonder blue...

Rabbit Express Cult

...I had heard about the new cult in town, the gray rabbit express
It was stated that the followers did not show much happiness
They dressed in gray outfits, dresses usually, and rabbit ears
What is ...

I Almost Tossed It Out

...I had a dream that felt so real,
Even awake, it felt surreal.
Sitting in my comfy chair,
Goosebumps rose as I sat there.

Reality hit—I caught my breath—
I almost tossed it out, a part of me to...

Stray Thoughts

...The clairvoyant could be a schizophrenic
or is it the other way around.
Mind cymbals of the mime must be unbearably loud
flowers are for glade and not the lapel of blue clowns.
Is it better for a...

fancy dancy rooster cha cha cha

...Fancy dancy rooster with a cha cha cha
Strumped up like a prancy peacock, with a fah lah lah
Suit jacket was custom made by Dior himself, of course.
Daisies on the lapel are much too much said the...

St David's Day in Wales

...(the first day of March)


Am I as lonely as that cloud?
I kneel this early time of day.
The traffic’s quite thin now, not loud,
while I am crouching, seem to pray!
St David’s Day is here, wit...

St Patricks Day Cat

...St Patrick’s day cat wore a tam to die for.
We saw him the second he sauntered into the door.
The pub would never be the same, he was glamor and more.
A fine dapper Irish cat, who serenaded us wit...

The Romantic View

...


           Honeysuckle breathes in the shallow wind,
Life's lapel, with a side of ground scouting gopher.

Great rusted machines peak the interest 
of the flower children who blossom 
in t...

An Artesian Had Done Well

...Older lady with face of a ninety-year old
Wore a bejeweled spider on her lapel
It was striking, many commented
Others seemed to not notice

How you could not notice, I do not know
She was a tin...

Every Father's Smile

...Every Father's smile 
is more brilliant than the sun that shines forever in the sky;  

Here on earth I've only had one father and as far as I can recall 
he was the most tender loving hearted ma...

When I Can'T Find My Pen

...When I can't find my pen it  
Becomes a pestering particular 
Problematic  position of such 
Preposterous proportions 
I'm  liable to  search the deepest 
End of the  lake in search  of this
lo...

Bird Hat Conversation

...Pink tulip please the merry nuthatch said.
On your lapel? Oh no. On my head.
It has such fragrance, fancy indeed.
I’d wear it proudly with my feathered tweed.

An acorn topper for me, oh please....
