Long Adders Poems

Babylonia : Part Two -
Noah’s walk


Pandas chew bamboo, while you film them in the nude;
Red Elephants are extinct (Apart from a view).
Fly up high, escape the zoo’s!
The latest attraction is a Man named Hu.


Hu Man?...

Some people have purloined from me,
That which meant what I mean to be,

Wicked witches and wizards in hidden lands,
Have taken my life from my hopeless hands.

But now I will fight till my very last breath,
To...

Lay down noiselessly,
as long as you stay still
and breathe lightly, then they will ignore you.

You can smile under your eyelids,
you can pretend that they have legs
and wear business suits.
You can imagine milking the poison
out of...

Gangsta politicians,
falling stars   ...   twinkling
of an eye 
	disappearing

Leper lips
	 halitosis blowing
Got there gun clips
and stacked deck 
	    poker chips ...
Sin City bullets overflowing

Body politic,
staph tongue infection
Still the voters...

Listen to what the snake charmers say:
We be sulfuric scaly bellies,
flicking poisonous tongues on the telly
Idoly speak pure Orwellie — 
Down is up   ...  famine be a feast sup
Tell money hungry fools...

True desert memories of my time spent in the Libyan desert. (Very early 60's)

Picnic time Aussie style

Picnic time 12 noon, is dinner time
Was had beside the river
We would grill our lamb chops 
On pieces of fencing wire
Quartpot was all a quiver
 
Tea was cast into the old Quartpot
When...

Corrupt farm, disdainful politics
Corrupt farm, unedifying ethics

The Lion gorges the subservient animals but not grass page
Or even does he gobble other feeds in the forest sage

The pronghorns fight it hard to progress
And they feed with...

That first non-rhythmical matter, 
Floated on the new dust of light, 
To whet the eleventh spark clatter, 
Such that its dividend split tight; 
A web, a sea of ringed atmosphere, 
Then a cob of meteoric...

Hopkins snakes

Old Hopkins had a rope ladder,
To keep snakes out of the house,
Snake killing sticks under the rain water tank,
In the shower, where a snake ate the mouse,
The fowls all lived up in the trees,
Brownies...

Across the shadowed byte desert, a lone warrior limped.
Impelled by a spirited misanthropy, he plied the
idle partitions of mind and thirst.
An orphaned amorist, passionate, but alone.

And as he stumbled, the adders whispered hoarsely, and
the diodes...

They don’t get it, bunch of fools
Don’t they see how the media drools
Over each and every tweet
Crafted not to be discreet.

Are they blind to my great skill
Of bending media to my will,
Time and again I...

Beneath the deep blue sea, 
the broken hearts of mermaids bleed,
ululating for their love
happiness awaits above.

“Don't be afraid of the abyss 
the turtle offers his advice 
you cannot help but always miss
swim until your love...

PHOTOPHOBIANS RECOIL...

  the deal is sealed
 and the season
 ceases to be
 too far from fair
for the foul lair
of Master Bull-
frog frowns open 
to reveal rats
who race to ruin
like muddled moles
who prance on polls

She wandered slowly through the woods,
Admiring bluebells, ferns and trees;
The sound of birdsong in her ears,
Accompanied by buzzing bees.

She sat beside a little stream
And watched the fishes swimming by,
The water tasted fresh and cool -
Such...

T' was a shallow creeping envy,
Of a deviant design;
It slithered In quietly undetected,
To prey upon unsuspecting minds.

It built up false images and verses,
A phoney talent in every way;
Taking slander to its highest levels,
And breeding hate...

Snake has been created to deter,
A symbol of power, sex and fear,
Equated with Satan Lucifer and demons in rear,
History where, millions of species,
To speak about listen and hear,
They are Pythons longer enough to devour,
An entire...

Do not weep do not mourn
Do not move like a pawn
Back into his tight grasp
For that mans like an asp

Cleopatra is gone thanks
To his venomous pranks
Oh the fatal bite
Delivered so trite

Vipera aspis, get lost
You too,...
