Long Befuddles Poems

In the heart where your naivety resides
you wonder what haunts the sun
and why pain enjoys your childhood eyes,
when you see warm blood run
then you know that death can color
and like you, death loves a dramatic...

[ to the tune of My Favorite Things ]

Raindrops on dew drops and ponds formed by puddles,
Praising when phrasing bewilders, befuddles,
Nice sounding lyrics that don’t mean a thing,
This is what too much sun on your...

the road to her was not easy
the valleys of her mind were not smooth ones
there were times when love smelled like new suitcases
there were times when hate and its pungency was the freshest scent
however here...

I can't help but find it ridiculously absurd
when people call Biden a liar and a fraud
yet believe Trump is truthful with his word.
Cheering his fictitious claims, they applaud!

That man has spun so many webs of...

sawed-off on the
crimson emerald from a cloudy sky

squeal
and, at times, the reason
low-slung why

sparkles of a pearly salver
modicum of encrusted damask mist

Like copper pennies and most loved quarters

A sinkhole, deep as 20 feet,
Collapsed without a warning,
Around the corner from my street
Quite early in the morning.

Repair crews came but no one knows
What caused the sudden sinking.
Decrepitude, some folks suppose,
But not what we were...

The Noise

There lives a strange bug in the Eastern trees
Called a Cicada - among other things!
Hardly a difference anyone sees
But, my friend, wait 'til you hear how it sings!

Now,this bug hatches in seventeen years
The larvae...

These past years I’ve lived in memories,
stitched together to fight the growing grey.

Thoughts and longings like light
dappled through the leaves of a forest.

Lost amongst the loam and brush
this fog settles, befuddles the mind.

Long forgotten branches...

this little mouse befuddles me
for it is her i set free
yet she won't let me be
returns back to me
at night i hear her chew and chew
such a mess always rude
not sure of what to do

I blush when I think about the makeup
Of Man. At birth he's weak and insecure
He's helpless, ignorant- a little pup
Has more going for him than this treasure.
And when he matures, mental growth is slight.
He whines...
