Long Ad lib Poems

The finis sing touches touché

Knead dull brows knitted; 
belief system I cogitate 
gearing thee ordinary bipedal hominid 
acquiesces to deck the halls 
of the mountain (dew) king with boughs 
of sister golden haired 
sprinkling angel...

Eccentric kook's reasonable rhyme zigzags

Doggone poet laureate
wannabe his index finger wags
nonverbally naysaying those,
who doubt mine posthumous
fame and fortune, which snags
eternal renown within pantheon
of storied writers such foolhardiness nags
yours truly keeps bad company with hags
unemployed day...

Tis quite a beast of burden to bear atlas (shrug off not allowed)

Tantamount to shrugging Atlas off mine bony,

October’s Finale

October sets the stage for ghostly goblins – frost on pumpkins; 
 Black cats yowl on top of fences arching, upstage the moonlight;
 Floating apparitions of wraiths soliloquies in mid-flight fright;
Full moons cast eerie...

Broken,
make piece with your pieces
and part ways with anything
that threatens your peace.
Leave the negativity and toxicity
laying firm on the ground.
Gravitate towards people
who perpetuate your growth.
Give thanks to anyone 
who has been enough of a saint

On mountaintops I’d sing the verses of my poetry 
under the umbrella of a starry night’s full moon
stand at a podium overlooking the vast blue sea
in foreign tongues half ad lib and half reciting

I’d stand...

The Big Screen

Got my bags packed: On my way,
the last five were pulled today.
Getting stiff, getting dizzy-
Stomach-shrinking from
tolerating the intolerable.

On my way to the big screen
No turning back, no detours.
Got my bags packed...not getting
off the...

everything was 
going good
we both
understood
our characters
but the script
was ad lib

we already had
our clothes
off so it would
be in the
dialogue that
would project
and proffer

what the other was
willing to offer
in this made
up world where
words could
up the
ante

and so she said

In the same town, in the same house,
two brothers were born
in a nice and calm countryside
where roses had no thorns.

In the same place, this morn,
two twins received this fife
to whistle ad-lib notes
for this unknown melody,...

At precisely 6:45 each morning
the house, it starts to shake
I don't need a clock
Oh no, for godness sake...

To seven people snore

The curse of verse, at worst subversive,
Cursive, ad lib, tragic,
The means defines scenes, supreme beings let off steam,
Beauty queens daydream of magic.

Sense of place, being part of the tribe,
Strangers for whom, in that moment, we'd...

The Story of Adam and Eve
Is all well and good and fine,
It marks the frailties of each sex

First of all it shows the Love of our Creator,
The One, the Good, the True, the...

You - amaranthine temptress!
Pay attention for a sec.
Let's give it a hap,
Ad-lib like vagabonds on the road,
Rambling to dusk in a single step,
Just before the first stars
Appear in our eyes,
With Jupiter for you under the...

In service my heart as it cries for love;
What shall I do I am in remorse mode;
