Long Aerodynamic Poems

Godot has arrived
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
Alive and well thanks!

...said the haiku poster
Crudely pasted to the fence
Who was too busy selling stolen goods
To notice he was a notice
Announcing a brand new play
A fusion of two classics

Waiting for...

Terrence the Turkey was feeling quite perky
Passing time in his rafter and doing no harm
No fighting nor squabbling, just gabbling and gobbling
Turkey talking turkey down on the farm.

Whilst having a natter, tame turkey type chatter
Before...

the only tree for a thousand miles 
gave him welcome if temporary shade
a kaleidoscope of mockingbirds filling its branches
it was no longer possible to be blind
but very possible to be jailed
for being unaware of our...

See me a visualization of the truth. A fatal portrait selfie. A dose of reality. 1zt card life dealt me waz the high joker. Nocturnal Mojo. An ounce of venom. Mixed wit buckshot. Inhale freedom....

MY heart rate raced as I sat and marveled at
this machine. A Cervelo S-5 carbon Bicycle.
This must be a dream! 

So Aerodynamic and efficient with a stream
lined design. With a DI-2  shifter that shifts

The lean old men in my vicinity
wake to find themselves a day older
then turn away from the mirror to reflect
on their miserable circumstance.
Then they masque their decay with cologne,
snap on their one-piece spandex sportswear
and wheel...

My favorite wild animal is 
as strong as Hulk Hogan
and eats fresh quail.


She is as strong as 
Chuck Norris, and Rocky,
and they fly faster than mail.


My favorite animal makes a 
hungry cheetah look unnaturally slow.


He...

i was sitting at the tree of your life
the good of woman not being a wife
but a temptress deceatful into sin
and her slyness always would grant her a win

The 90’s were not easy, but my spouse and I got by.
Both our children, grown, soon were on their own.
The syndrome known as “empty nest” didn’t even touch us.
If anything, those wings of mine spread...

Jets and planes have conquered the sky 
Just like us, fly over the deep blue ocean
They have copied us, use avian highways 
But, why are the  singles  unable to fly?
They have made mechanical...

Aloft, with keen eyes in sorbet skies’ raspberry half-light
visceral vibrations of vitality does await.
Soaring in a hush, with plumage plush, a silent stealth kite,
he glissades on ghostly winds with mystical wings of fate.

Poised to plummet...

Once, a hundred cigarettes 
glowed in just one cinema.
Arrows flew yet all were near misses,
random unaimed bullets easily knocked over 
bunches of whooping Comanches.
Some horses were shot unseen off-screen.

In small Midwest towns fantasy roamed unchecked
nibbling...

Neck pulsating, close shave shines over whiskers

Do serial killers do head counts
Why are spaceships aerodynamic
Why is loud in cloud
See at the back of a hospital is that the backwards
Surely a plaster is more use than time on wounds
Every sad comes with...

For half an hour, 
he was a few feet in front of me,
trying to tame the little metal beast,  
jittery under the torrent of none-too-gentle 
dos and don'ts coming from me, 
his 6-year-old legs...

Taking the Top Off the Bottom

"The Quietest War"



Solitude on silent paws
stretches strategically 
under covers 
a velvet skinned 
war map to be read
by commanding 
hands and fingers
welcomes the 
Quietest War 
gliding over 
soft mountains 
like he’s some 
Messerschmitt
tasting the thrill
he's all...

Poor little man
a tourniquet in one hand
a bottle of lather in the other
bath in riches or die in chains

Chores, like lifetimes
stack up
bores, like humans
trap us

Ignite an idea
burn the torch at both ends but keep one...

Humpty Dumpty had no yolk
As oft implied to younger folk.
This hatched idea in oviform
Should never have become the norm.
And so, before it is too late
I mean to set the record straight.

For Humpty was a tortoise...

This sky dome
Held by thousands of threads 
of sunshine,
Is a musical instrument;

Its sounds pour out when 
Life flips its strings;

Dragonflies are the first 
to make the light high-pitched tone;

Swallows are next
Rapid, cheerful notes emitted
From their...
