Long Bashes Poems

JOE VERSUS THE RACCOON 
By Kate H. Stark


Each night ‘twas the same old proverbial shout. 
“Hey Joe, will you please take the garbage bags out?”

Joe sighed, rolled his eyes as he walked toward the door....

Later that day, I fell upon my knees and prayed to God fervently,
“Lord God, with us, among us, I am ever grateful, and I am ever joyous,
I thank You for the gift of life,
And the...

I’ve noticed the popular opinion-
Aided, of course, by all forms of media
From novelizations to song lyrics-
That high school boys
Are cuter, smarter, and nicer.
Now, I’ll be the very first to admit
That they get significantly
More physically appealing.
And...

The pages laid beneath her
With imprints of her shed smiles
Cause they are still laughing in the grey flashes
But nobody halts the time ,it just dashes.

Now, the flickering candles dry up her wet lashes
And The womb...

she is the sun...spraying rays of light like bullets into my body and my brain
locked up tighter than a refugee rider on a south bound suicide train
straight off the tracks 
swimming in sulfer, sweat pouring...

    Updraft lifts limbs, leaves scurry like mice exposed
    Mother Nature shakes shorebreak, incline imposed
    Gnaws at sand buried tree toes gnarled, spit polished

Taking a vacation 
After being a patient 
Is a very interesting prescription indeed 
What do you mean? 
One option could be to choose 
Relaxing on a cruise 
Could this make the former health care captive...

Time is near me, it's within me, it surrounds me, it raps me in it's motherly loving 
arms, it cuddles me, it squeezes me so tight that it makes me feel save, nothing

Earth element of wind, elusive to exploring eyes,
a gaseous, gusty ghost, she gyrates- gallops gallantly.
She bashes, bends, and bobs the branches of each bush and tree,
and chases, circles, curls dry fallen leaves so agilely.

We hear...

Lord this reader ..
Blessings are needed
In the suffering
Of male troubling

Mummy mummy !!
The baby yells until yellow
He bashes her 
Behind close doors
Her beauty
His jealous prize.

He is possessive
And aggressive
On nothing suspicious
His face is vicious

Daily she prays

Naughty nihilists kneel,
while prisoners roam free.
How does it make you feel,
to digress from destiny?
Too many souls lost in the laws of man.

So many souls are filled with greed,
it makes no sense to me.
If they want...

"Hey, lassie, How about going a-mooning? – We two
I like full moon giving wrong ideas at the right times
Feel salty air, sun kissed hair, in this endless summer".

“Oh, just take me there, 
party at night,...

Our world wasn't made to last. 
I'd know. 
I was meant to save it, yet here I stand, surrounded by dust.
It bounces upon their corpses, wafting up and around the empty laboratory.

It's the only thing...

Since moving to the country 
this fact has come to light,
maintaining our new home
gives us a battle to fight.

Newly graded and seeded lawn
quickly became uneven ground,
mole runs crisscrossed acres,
flowerbeds raided, bulbs gone.

Two hundred tulip bulbs...

Gladness of meadows, ill weeds, 
children of flowers, mad deeds, 
bitter of fathers, iron glove. 
Winds are carrying the love. 

Noisy city, stone’s moan, 
smoky bars, reality’s yawn, 
beasts in cages out of laws.

Feet patter through the leaves of the oak wood
Her breaths frantic blond hair bent back 
Stops swivels and pivots seeing all she could
Body sways and she prays for air to catch
Then she see it lurch,...

The ooze ought to bestow fear on its forms.
The torrid heat of July gags your sacred calling.
It holds inside you, humbly inviting storms.
Singing in the gentle light of root caregiving.

Their activity heedfulness is vanishing.

The highest office in our land will soon be decided.
Opponents spar, both tooth and nail; reputations derided.
“Just look at his voting record,” said one brash candidate. 
“His radical positions are so quick to desecrate.
Promptly, and...

When the crystal clear surf 
Defends its turf 
It Bashes 
Then Crashes 
Making a beach like sound 
That relaxes the whole sea shore town 
Listening to the way the ocean pounds 
Maybe it’s the weather...

Thunder clashes
Rain pours
Lightning flashes
Sitting here depressed
Holding this box of matches
Just sit and watch how
A body burns to ashes
Watch the blood flow
as the wall and his head bashes
To his funeral
People come by the masses
Then they raced
To...

your foulmouthed shout

weaves angry waves

bashes my ear drums

pierced I wail in vain

as the echo gets closer

staccato crescendo

climax refrain


can’t shut you out

cannot withhold

silence won’t come

until the final note

that fails to abate


our melody out of tune

sweet memories...

What would sly look like
would there be any foxiness
and the 
what image brought to mind
a million clones
with black tie and white shirts
over used and unpretentious
would unused words
believe they are better
than the rest
Exquisite a diamond wall

A parent parks at the curb.
I walk past the car.
But it is a runaway, turns itself on, is dangerously out of control. 
Driving toward me, hops the curb, chasing me. 

I run into the school...

Awakening from slumber it thrashes around,
that which was once, now completely unbound

It shouts at earth with an unsettled mind,
it bashes and smashes destruction entwined

The might of the wind, the cold and the rain,
together they tether...
