time placed beyond
stairways star-wars
galactic leverage
Universe betrayed
stream of consciousness
tipping an ice berg
pick axe in hand
frostbitten soul
whose kingdom came
poker in the manger
stark naked emperors
food banks in loin cloths
hallowed be the halo
candles burn dry twigs
just a bloody night mare
and no stallion in sight
stellar state of affairs
spare one thought only
wrapped in a comet
bursting the bubble
circus clown’s sorrow
safety net in tears
droplets of madness
cot death for the Lord

Vale Paradiso
The sea life is blueness caused by monotony
Formica tables and dirty fingernails
as the ship wanders between water vales
climbing to the top of mountainous berg
and sharply falling into a foamy brew
when the storm persists, knowing a small
mishap is fatal, there is nothing one can
do, but hoping the end will be quick
In my ignorance, I look at the map that
shows the oceans, which appear to be endless
will the ship ever reach Los Angeles
I think of Vale Paradiso, this cumbersome
will not make it that far
Finally, she makes, any place will do, but
what waits are bars and whores, not
the peace longed for
The Vacation
A couple had read in a glossy magazine that
Norway was beautiful, so they went on a week's vacation
They were met by an agent who told them how
Beautiful, his country was, said without the slightest hint
of irony; since an airport is an airport, they didn't see
the fabulous beauty
The couple saw the deep fiords, the mountains, and not
to forget, the pulpit, a rock sticking from the berg side
looking like a pulpit
Later that evening, they went to a comedy show, where
A Norwegian comedienne told jokes in English, but lacked
In nuances and hints, the jokes sounded rude
They were also surprised by Norwegian drink culture
When they drink, it is to be drunk, and that is the only point
In Oslo, one day, when his wife had gone to the hairdresser's
The man sat alone in a cafe, reading a book and drinking a pint
of lager, after a while, he ordered another pint
The man served him that and also gave him a brochure where
to seek help if he had a drinking problem
When the vacation was over, and he was sitting on the plane, his wife
asked, why are they dressed so poorly, to that, her husband said
It is because everyone is equal in this nationalistic society
They know nothing about other nations, as they think their
Life is wonderful
Time for some giggles
Now what shall I write?
About klutzy old Jack?
Should be a delight!
Been quite renowned
For his blunders at times
Here are a few
Of his more classical kind!
Riding his bike
Passing a parked car
Door opens... a collision...
He falls on his ****!
Floating on icebergs
And under some bridges
Berg disappears...
Water quite frigid!
Trying to impress
This acquaintance of old
Talked for a while
And walked into a pole!
Oblivious, don't notice
While strolling with friends
A crotch high stake...
Doubled over I bend!
They weren't always funny
Well not at the time
Luckily, the injuries
Weren't the serious kind!

we rolled in the snow
and rolled a snowball
increasing in size to be
the size of the bottom
of our snowman
(now before anyone
objects or gets upset
we both agreed that
our frankenstein
creation would
be a man) so as cold
as the snow glowed
rosy on my sweet's
cheeks the ball
suddenly
rolled down hill and as
if it knew where it was
going became bigger
with time and as time
passed we forgot about
the past until one day
telling her we were
going on a cruise
for two there
suddenly
was a third for
twice back
across the
Atlantic we
ran into a
berg
children
and women
first for we had
all along been on our
own once made Titanic
Form:
On Ocean
Turbulent was not the Ocean.
Wonderful largest liner floated safely beyond the breakers
Inspired by luxurious sea voyage
Affluent passengers sailed happily.
Sea was calm,happy were passengers.
Captain was relaxed,sailors not anxious.
Tension-free ship suddenly struck by hidden ice berg.
Abrupt rush of water-flow flooded the deck, causing ship wreck
Not enough life boats to accommodate all innocent helpless souls
Ill-fated Titanic sank.
Those jumped on sea frozen in ice-cold water.
Captain Smith and sailors in the ship prayed till last breath facing death
Ship Carpethia reached too late to rescue a few in the life boats still afloat

VESSEL SANK
Sea wasn't turbulent.
Wonderful largest liner
floated just safely.
Luxurious cruise started.
Tension-free vessel
took affluent passengers
in joyful voyage.
Suddenly it was hit by
a hidden ice berg.
Rush of water flow flooded
deck causing ship wreck.
To accommodate each one,
not enough life boats.
Signal claiming help didn't work.
Captain Smith only
prayed in vain till his last breathe.
Titanic just sank .
Helpless souls in mass to face
tragic destined death.
Ship Carpathia sent to
rescue, reached too late.
Weeping women and children.
to be carried by
few life boats that still floating.
Carpathia sighed.
No trace of Titanic seen.
GREEN SEA : SEA-GREEN
Luster of Bluish-green sea waves is termed sea- green
Raman Effect explains perfect special color as ever seen
Turbulent waves are rolling, roaring with loud sound
As if thunder bolts are striking down the grey cloud
Mangroves with brown stems in tropical sea as coastal fence
cluster around in deep dense bushes yielding wild essence
Algae, red seaweed are farmed abundant in sea water
Cook and eat the nutritious food in lunch and dinner
Touch hard crust of white Ice berg floating on ocean
Ocean is nothing else but the wide sea-extension
• * * *
Wonderful bluish-green luster to glorify on sea glows to glorify,
but loses intensity in horizon where sea meets the sky
Sudden sea-storm rushed blowing whistling sound
Clear sky turned grey with dust particles all around
Brown algae floating on sea water spread weird smell.
Swarm of tiny kreels are chased and by large whale
White sea-foams are bubbling on crest of waves in galore
With gentle touch they fade away and thrashed on sea shore.

Before time was invented
A long time ago when our world was much bigger than it is now and had a landscape pleasing to the eye and no steep hills to climb Since seasons had not been divided into summer spring, autumn, and winter, the weather was mild and no one knew the what a day was when it rained, not too often people walked outside and took a shower.
The land was full of potatoes, carrots, and beans as for meat there was Dogger Bank with millions of cattle and wild hogs, no one was going hungry A man from Glendale was walking across a field to meet another man to see his walking cane but he wasn’t there, he looked up and said, I wish there were a set time for everything
The World paused, then shook violently and when the dust cleared there was a mountain in front of the man from Glendale he had to walk around the berg and that took time Dogger Bank was a sea full of cod, the Portuguese caught and made into bacalao they traded in time for the cold winter season and America was a continent
Joseph Robinette Biden
now commander in chief yay
manning ship of state
tossing anchors aweigh
heavily pierced tattooed
donning sheepish pirate(s)
at heady roiling waterway
fending off trolling rapscallion
much more thrilling
than watching cabaret
January twenty first two thousand
twenty one marks his first full day
wherein Oval Office finally
flushed, ousted, and zapped,
whose paternal ancestry
begat genealogical linkedin émigré
name unknown, nevertheless
one Johann Trump born within
Bobenheim am Berg, a village
in Palatinate, Germany circa 1789
moved to nearby village of Kallstadt
where his grandson, Friedrich Trump,
the grandfather of Donald Trump,
born in 1869 gamboled
upon grassy fairway
whereby grandson notorious
to grandstand and gainsay,
but especially renowned
windblown coiffure
kept intact courtesy "fake" hairspray
said product he did fulminate
against and inveigh,
cuz he envied (as does yours truly)
the trademark thatch sported by J.F.K.
At long last, a stalwart adept candidate
unwittingly saddled
with onerous figurative freight
COVID-19, homelessness, joblessness
sober statistics impossible mission to inflate,
whose physique slender and lightweight
boot pulleys and levers of power
he quite savvily can operate
personable and suave demeanor doth resonate
allowing, enabling, and providing
law and order to materialize,
and accomplishments downplayed
(unlike previous commander in chief)
whose braggadocio would never underrate.
Concern still prevails
regarding that woman user
egging fascistic paramilitary
white supremacist ilk
twittering as a digital schmoozer
hell bent on sowing anarchy,
cuz other Democratic contestant
did not defeat
soured at prospect their man beat
(him - who shall not be named again
ranks as a sore loser)
nevertheless, an oafish shill bruiser.
If prognostications allowed me,
at bedtime, when a supine American,
one garden variety and generic
sleepy Joe among madding crowd
will experience glee
at prospective buoyancy, decency,
fraternity, harmony, jollity, levity,
nobility, prosperity, serenity, tranquility...
wishing no ill will toward
former forty sixth president.
