Long Absconding Poems

With these lines I’ll relate an intriguing tale of dubious accuracy
For I Hope to unveil sordid affairs of more than one conspiracy!
Be warned, that though you might be disturbed by the facts I relate?
They are...

I tore the page from its binder and ripped it to pieces, not wanting to be associated with the scribbles I had left on the sheet. To call that abomination 
'art' would be an insult...

While the hungry ones pass by
     the fruits of life upon the ground,
The king and queen are leaving
     and they're not making any sound.
In the coming of...

there flies a bird as white as life,
an ugly, peaceful dove,
 which carries darkness in its beak,
 the poem wroth with love:
 the farmer wakes at morning,
 weak with pain and ache;
there's no peace in...

THE FALL OF THE WHITE ELEPHANT’S CAN’T FAIL IDEA

No self-respecting politician wanted to drink from that well
the self-inflicted delusion persisted for the faithful
they were shocked but not surprise when they learned
the head elephant had walked...

Volition, orientation familiarization aahing
and oohing within restrictive paradigm molding
inviolable honorable gentility -
flagrantly, desirously, clearly boyz abandoning
willfully skirting, panting (heavily)
forfeiting abominably, (no Joe King) abiding

chomping at bit, damning delineated, or obscure
parameters, between one acceding
Earthlinked selfish living

Technology's 
necessity, without it 
we would die, it's 
fascinating really 
how computers run 
our lives,

the tapping of the

clicking of the 
mouse, it's gotten

Always on my mind
Nibbling at the core, fiddling at the soft centre
Quizzing, teasing me to find
Space and time to enter   

The pantheon populated by caring
Daring divinities whose flight
Into ether left me wondering
If I...

wispy …

tendrils of light
faint, hushed feathers of trickling lucence
an impish muster of sprites
shimmering in a mosh pit swirl of
proscribed whispers, limpid
absconding the darkness, once bound
giggling to rest on the cool, flat sand
content to adorn whate'er...

The sky bathes the harbor in cyan turquoise
cadet-blue sea foam bubbles the only gorget one has
versus the flamingos and canaries absconding littoral mire
the gashes on my feet, the burn in my gracilis
have returned me yet...

Obscured stood I, absconding the realm of dreams
Began my search, for neither messiah nor elf
Looked through my heart, into eyes umpteen
Probed for thy mirror, in hunt for myself.

Wandered the summits, skies that kiss
Touch they couldn't...

them for bridges to
brood with stanzas of butterflies
in the suffocation around and
heat mocking the sea where once...

Luella May Poland

1907-1922

The ocean sings my sad refrain.

Sings as the lapsing afternoon 

Turns to twinkling twililight.

It sings the polyphonic notes and harmonies

Of a life at once wondrous and magical

And then tragic.

The soft but harsh music...

Encircled in fire and pain, the angels sought flight,
Torrents of misery to thy soul, frozen and bound
Immobilized by very hand of God this night.

The feared legions down from below did fight,
Gave it some hell and...

households lurch
creak unmoored
  hulls rocking

the twang of whip lashed rigging
as electric wires stretch
pull up clods
  yards of plantings

where once roots clutched
bricked-up aluminum
long jacked-up boards
  swirl and bloat

bed-springs shiver off

eagerly stabbing the fantastique tragedy 
squirming so quickly by the macabre melody

Eye on him from behind turning and twisting

I’m caught in the midst of a dream I reside –
tumbling lovers tempting romance with pride.
Twisting and thrusting, to and fro with hate –
stumbling over a beautiful destiny and fate.

Creeping and crawling through shards of...
