Long Begrudged Poems

To Ecological Greens
concerned about tolerating
evangelical 
monotheistic Red intolerance
of unstraight
unwhite
unmale
unhealthy
unsafe
panentheistic EarthDays
and dualdark wiki-nights
potentially bicameral
bipartisan
bisexual
binomial
neurosystemic cooperative regenerations
of win/win resonant
robust images

Any nonbinary person
all growed up
in a homophobic
straight
white
male anthrosupremacist monoculture
must not fail to see
to hear
to smell
to feel

Will have trouble...

Pied tidings of suburbian 
Magpies,
Squawking and squabbling,
Quarreling ferociously among 
Themselves - 
Rush to steal
From off the beleaguered bird 
tables,
To the annoyance of all concerned,
A much begrudged meal;
Before scurrying away into 
Unfrequented woodlands,
Marooned like islands in...

Welcome back my weary friends
I promise you this story ends
But not before your time flies through
A tale with a horse or two...

On streets of cobblestone and gray
Where beggars sleep and orphans play
The aged, sick and...

Hall Of Blank Portraits 

To my father, 
I paint you as the sea, 
Ebbing and flowing 
In my memory.
Drifting in the doldrums 
Immortal and serene, 
Sleeping forever 
In blues and green,
I sit on the shore...

To emerge as my mother's son
but heatedly defined by not my father's wanted one,
or child of either gender
much less elements of both
male and female
humane with divine regenerativity.

To know I could not win his love,
that any...

Life As A Highway Robber

Escape from captivity pulled off
     when I came of age
boyhood begrudged,
     and bested by brigandage,

but willpower sans declaration
     of...

The happily ever after...

He searched the kingdom for a fortnight 'til all saddle sore and weary,
With his eyes bloodshot and bleary,
The prince arrived at the last door.
He found two sisters, far too ugly, and an...

Tale of the Forgiving Betold

Albeit a notable stretch
that stars wouldst a fairer

thy warm expanse.

servant beseech thee,

Madness, 
How nice they felt
To be free, 
From the dampness of humanity. 

They are plunged into a different universe
A free life of toils
A prodigal, 
Of a profilial, 

Feeding from oral to oval, 
Your earn for...

Hush and harken to the stillness,
Do not disturb the spirits
Lying in their stale graves, 
Overgrown with vines, 
Reading and re-reading their epitaphs
With begrudged faces
Contorted as if they were trying
With difficulty to understand 
Why all those...

As democratic minds continue to work LeftBrain Yang-hard and strong,
yet resiliently paced,
and RightBrain Yin-smart,
flowing smooth,
resonantly graced,

Earth grows deeper and wider polypathic outcomes
restoring peace
by non-violently responding to past climate injustices,

Inviting patient good humor
despite wounded free-loaders stingy...

She'd watched kids thro' her window as they daily trudged,
To the little school house...

I left at 6:30 for the 7 pm meeting.
I wanted to be early to find a seat near the speaker.
As I crossed over the bridge on the westside of town
I could see the traffic lights...

It was a staggering night. 
A bruised but honorable knight
An empire at its height
An entrapped and bloody victim
Just more real life, not a sitcom 
It was the passing of a great king 
The mourning as...

I can't quite remember how I got here
It apprehends my vision, apprehends my senses
my hiding places are very well hidden
and there's no way to stay
this maddening day from my vision.

All the tensions created by hollow...

The dampness exemplifies the credence unspoken and unnamed

whilst dripping and sweating unmasked the pain

And all the while her body lay there weeping

his watchful eye and her pussy cat lay there sleeping 

Deep, deep in the...

The Cruelest Fate

By Elton Camp

What was Lois is all but gone
“It’s dementia,” the doctor said
“Just be glad she doesn’t know.
“It’s so much better that way.”

With the blank look on her face,
Family talk as if she...

I've given up on the poetic quest
of writing for another Soup contest.
I confess that for many I've written
for with the challenge I was smitten.

Once at sixth, I'd climbed the ranks
but now I'll only say, "No,...

I am a poor tailless cow.
The creator chases away my infesting flies.

I’m barefoot on the pathful of thorns

...or What's science got to do with it?

Galileo looked through a lens one day
And, boy, was he astounded.
The Earth wasn't flat as he'd been told,
It was, in fact, quite rounded.
Pope Urban VIII then came along

Choices fall on chances,
Scratched hard on inner voices. 

The, that proposes sacred lotuses,
In contentment, poised as rejoices,
Profoundly, altered the straits of moises,
And lavished, with own choicest decisions. 

Of no imperialistic befitting,
The Mannered in contemptuous setting,
Mystifying,...
