October Old World Country Comforts

Screams of terror fill in the cracks
Of  ancient crumbling castle rocks
Everyone enjoys old world accommodations 
Hotels are always cheap but at full capacity  
Cries for help escape into the black 
Dungeons are open to the public at a price
Faceless creatures slash your back with whips
Purple slime runs down the chamber walls
Chains rattle out a warning for more agony
Snakes crawl with venom for the vital parts
Spiders fill heads with freshly hatched eggs
Flesh eating insects begin to feast
Bacteria wait in line to get the best
No reservations needed in October
You are their favorite trick and treat 
The man with a limp comes in twitching
Sharp red eyes bleeding gains attention
Wielding an ax garners more
The hump adds character to the festivities
There will be no beds turned down tonight  
What is one more murder more or less
Relax, enjoy the evening and a cigarette
You are our guest. You are next 
Our apologies for the mess


Fearless

Be fearless, don't think about criteria. 
Stop with the feud within yourself, with your own self-inflicted bacteria. 

Be fearless, sing that song you wrote. 
You will feel light, like when the wind is giving that kite the ability to float. 

Be fearless, dance like a captivating ballerina. 
You will feel free, like a bird soaring through the morning sky, one bright day in Argentina. 

Be fearless, fall in love with the one that makes your heart sing. 
You will feel peace and complete, like the Northern Lights when it fills up the night sky. 

Be fearless, go after what it is you exactly want. 
You will have no regrets, like eating a freshly baked croissant, while feeling at ease and completely nonchalant.

Kombucha Trilogy With Chia Seeds Spells Molotov Cocktail

(particularly when nursed at room temperature)

I learned that Kombucha
best be kept refrigerated lest
said probiotic drink
served at room temperature
(incorporating live bacteria) erupts
chia seeds flying everywhere
potentially causing
serious damage to consumer
as nearly happened to yours truly,
nonetheless patronizes company(ies),
who manufacture
aforementioned healthy beverage.

Analogous to other fermented brews,
one must cultivate an acquired taste
regarding delicately sipping Kombucha
now if you will kindly excuse
wordsmith henpecked and
away from Macbook Pro
fortunately satisfied with poem thus far.

Hello, I got back to laptop
today - December fourth 2021
after few hours elapsed
got hunger pangs
during brief hiatus
experienced relapse concerning
craving vegetarian hypocrite's delight
meat product constituted chicken sausage,
which greasy entree
invariably caused cholesterol to spike.

The missus (a plump carnivore
to the bone with plucky constitution)
vowed never to purchase
named poultry appurtenance ever again
so help me dog, cuz she
(connoisseur of gluten free foods)
attempts to promote healthy eating.

Indeed buzzfeeding body, mind and spirit
courtesy fruits and vegetables
ideally, preferably, and undeniably organic
helps me feel emotionally,
mentally and spiritually fit
able, eager and willing

to staunch the flow,
whereby yours truly
would become deceased,
thus imperative to jot obit
before that instant I exit
stage door left,

the only occasion witnessing
ala bumbling and fumbling performance
(despite unalterable fact that
life haint no dress rehearsal)
courtesy painless suicide
exhibiting true grit

regarding one generic long haired
pencil necked geek,
whose demise undermined,
when his lovely bones
deteriorated analogous to
rotted fascia and soffit.

Premium Member The World is Bleeding

God dispatches two angels
for each missile sent in war
to recover the souls of those perished

He then lets nature clean up the blood
with insects and bacteria
so the war-torn scenario is blessed

It’s too common a sight
men, women and children 
dying in war zones 

Heavens gates are swayed open
with a constant line of new souls
carried by the angels

When will the killing stop
when will the world heal
when will the angels get to break

Thank the good lord that you get to 
sip your tea and watch family feud 
while others are less fortunate

Let’s pray for them
perhaps the rosary
they do not deserve to die

Premium Member Why

Why would He go to that tree
To save evil humanity    
Why would He bleed and die~you see
To keep us alive in our vanity
Why would He go to that tree
To save us all and even me

In the beginning He created
Man, the crown of creation
A mirror of Him
One created being to tend
The garden created by Him

How He loved those long walks
In the cool of the day
Before it got dark
Man talking directly with His creator
How He loved the man

Then man fell into the temper's hands
Now only vanity at his command
The beautiful earth fell to the curse
As did animals, bacteria and land
Why did He go to that tree
To save evil humanity
Redeem mankind, earth and clim
He saved all that did fall
Oh! How He loved His man

Premium Member autopsy of multiples being eaten

the deer died with her eyes open  
which means she watched herself  
become field  
something permeable  

I found her on the third day of autumn—  
found autumn wearing her decaying hide  
like a hand-me-down dress  

the flies had already written their poems  
in the metaphors of her throat:  
small black punctuation, multiplying  

I wanted to close her eyes  
but my hands passed through  
what I once believed was boundary  

later the biologist told me  
decomposition is just the body  
finally telling the truth  

about how many selves were always  
inside you waiting to be released—  
even the child who never grew old enough  
to be revision  

now when I say I, I mean the forty trillion  
bacteria who call this dirt-body home  

I mean the deer  
the flies  
I mean the light  
that passed through her  
and landed here  

in this poem  
which is just another way of being eaten  
which is just another word for love  
by the porous self

Tiny Vampire

The world's number one 
killer
I wonder why it hasn't 
yet made its way
Into a horror movie 
thriller
Why, though it could beat
Even the serial killer! 

Oh it gets even past 
locked doors
Through the tiniest of 
holes and pores
And however tiny
It bodes fatality
For to many its bites
Have been lethal, fatal
And it sings freely in 
your ears
But like a teeny weeny 
vampire

Don't you undermine the 
miniscule, the minute
For tis a real-life 
miniature vampire
Tis a blood sucking 
brute! 

And they come in hordes
Without guns or swords
This major yet tiny killer 
of humans
Though you might kill 
with a flick of your 
hands
Yet you could never 
wipe out the whole band
From the face of the 
earth
What with its prolific 
birth! 
As this is one flying 
army here to stay
And by hook or by crook
In each and every nook
It shall share our land! 

How terrible that our 
blood is on its main menu
My and your blood its 
main staple diet
So I warn you fellow 
humans
Save yourselves from 
the anopheles's bite.

Call it mosquito or agent 
of malaria
Plasmodiums are far 
worse than any bacteria

And they aren't just 
doing their job
They're doing their 
bloody feeding
We ain't in paradise yet: 
thus both the harmful 
and harmless are 
breeding!

Mud Allures Me

mud~I love the musky scent that evaporates from the moistened earth bed during downpour and also relish sailing paper boats on the puddles.It serves as a home for tiny insects and invisible bacterias.


      precipitated 
      by deluge emits sweet whiff
            forms splashing puddles




Disclaimer: The special aroma that manifests in the air while rainfall is referred to as petrichor ~which actually comes from a bacteria called actinomycete that resides in dampened soil.

Premium Member Bursting with Vitality !!!

To celebrate seventy seven revolutions round the sun
it was decided that seven point seven kilometres he would run
To ensure it was a task he could successfully complete he rehearsed the total distance
easily covered the the run, jogging bare feet

Would such an exercise been possible when he was age twenty ??
not likely, such a sloth !!!
Now aged seventy seven he is bursting with energy aplenty

So what's the secret of this total age reversal
No alcohol, no coffee, no tea, organic food that is always raw
This free recipe is available to one and all
make some changes, see what life may have in store

There are many other secrets for long life impunity
Resist viruses, bacteria, build muscles, exercise the mind as well
leads to natural self regulated immunity

One of the vices that pulls all healing back 
is what exists at the end of the dinner table fork
Eliminate old habits, start a new found daily practice 
that includes at least, a routine daily walk

Premium Member Out of Quietus

No ... there would be no happy end to this story ...

No shining horizon or shimmering visions of tomorrow,
No joyous rhapsody of angels to greet us at the end of THIS tunnel.
The Big Apple was behind us now, fallen to the horrors of the epidemic ...
A gestation period of merely thirty seconds,

Which meant half the globe - half of humanity -
Could be firmly in its grip within 48 hours ...
Just two days! (And that was an optimistic estimate).
I worked for the CDC, but was on vacation with my family ...

My wife, two daughters, one son,
In Manhattan to see "Hamilton" on Broadway.
We were headed back to The Plaza when it happened -
When the first infected folks started to turn.

Whatever it was, it increased metabolism in the host,
As though giving people super powers,
Making them faster, stronger, more erratic, more deadly ...
One bite to the skin, and within half a minute, the person would change ...

Transform, into these ... monsters, crazy eyes and gnashing teeth,
With only one drive and purpose - to bite flesh and spread contagion,
(And the possibilities of mutations were nearly fathomless).
Nature always protects itself ... always finds a way,

And diseases and microorganisms are PART of nature.
Like good bacteria, viruses seek out highly beneficial environments,
And this one had selected the most deadly and formidable of hosts - humans.
On the other end of this long tunnel under the Hudson, was New Jersey ...

We were headed south to Atlanta and CDC headquarters,
But that was an eternity from where we were,
With untold dangers and obstacles ahead,
And in the midst of this horrifying and virulent plague.

The tunnel was empty, thankfully, and dark,
But with a tension-filled quietus that seemed ready to explode.
Our one blessing? It was very early Sunday morning,
And there was little traffic on the highway.

Still, there would be surprises coming, we knew not what ...
Surprises and trials, at the end of this long underpass AND beyond.
We could see the light of the entrance as it drew closer,
We could envision the stress and danger, and feel the cold breath ...

Of doom approaching.
