Long Abash Poems

So bridge to bridge, of other things speaking
Of which my comedy does not take care,
We walked; and reached the top, when seeking
For watching the next slit, then we stopped there
Malebolge to see and crying vain;
And...

Through a wooded thick in a forest of New England,
There exists a secret circus called the Craft of Ringland.

Meandering through a meadow one night before the forest's mouth,
I heard a melody humming in the wind...

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller


Like a slow drawl, sometimes
Winter – others, Autumn.
Rustling in the oaks,...

Strikingly crafty logomaniac presents...
what else... his trademark blatherskite!

While sprawled comfortably
numb upon davenport
Iowa daily dose of poetic mishmash,
thus yours truly couches, kneads, sports...
his imponderable matted
swiftly styled balderdash
noah intent to kindle
potential ark enemy, nor abash

please pardon your
garden...

Rodents can be loquacious
That includes your average gerbil
They love to prattle, chat and blather
They really are quite verbal

Hamsters are talkative too
Just as garrulous as can be
With running mouth and wheel to match
They are a sight...

Dusty dull autumnal song
with gushes wild as crazy ocean
no knowledge of place you belong
as always found in busy motion.

The clarion at you zenith rung
when maximum things you have misplaced
the song of spring had been said...

Abash poverty abash!

Your evil ways are so detestable to mankind
How could you grind great minds?
Persisting from generation to generation intertwined
Plotting destruction to the anticipated tremendous future aligned.
You’re merciless, how could you kill the old, children,...

WET WINTER OF SPRING

O wet wet Winter of Spring!
The cool rushing season of rain.
O Adam’s sons and daughters,
Inspire the West! Upend the fires!

The battle ax lays low the forest,
Leaping with dinosaur shadows.
A flicker of water...

Scope is the drink sans pleasure
That always burns a hole
And stings your gums -and have you heard
It's worse than vile gall

And Listerine is more absurd
And sure your tongue to harm
Yet mouthwash wasn't meant to hurt
Like...

I know I got no voice so sweet
Like birds outside your window tweet
I know I don't have the touch
Or maybe you wont enjoy as much

I know I'd need a lots of guts
I know I'd abash...

1.Even achieving prideful wealth.

7.Ever avoid harming even-little
anyone by heart.

Day-glo dewy
chuck berry faded daffodils

woodlark fluid warble
emerald chorus

& abash earth
drowsy petrichor 
on 
parched earth

fall mist lyrics 
of 
glyphs thrum 

in sepia tones 
of 
whimpers
& heart hums 
of 
lengthy 
boyhood 
&
haunting echoes
shattered bell's 
agonizing chimes

In shadowy 
kaleidoscope

dystopian...

Since it was you my heart 
was
given
since it was you
In a cloudy night
And a whistling wind
In all thin season
Why today you abash me 
like
dried leaves
You pierce my heart in
shambolic manner
You contempt my heart like
gloomed flowers.

The Plot Against the Giant:

First Girl
When this yokel comes maundering, 
Whetting his hacker, 
I shall run before him, 
Diffusing the civilest odors
Out of geraniums and unsmelled flowers.
It will check him.

Second Girl
I shall run before him,...

Lessen your crimes now and give ear to me
Perhaps I can still make you understand
How a force for bad you've chosen to be
To many in the firm grip of your hand.
You cajole the one, abash...

Lit candles dance to the
overture,
Shadows play with the flicker of lure,
The sleeping beast trapped in the barred room,
Somewhere deep underneath the forest floor, 
Drunk with the knowledge from the tree of life,
A vigilant moon abash...

Seasons Coalesce
Cycles reset
Patterns, Habits,
Evolve and regress
Exhausted
Fast for the Sabbath

Reasons to rest
Memories to regret
Sacked , accost.
Divest. Pay the clocks price
An eternal toll
Raped of life, sucked out soul.
Trapped verbal lessons, hooked with shit.

Confusing intention
I abash her with...
