Long Bickers Poems

Gym lights take a little while to run
Flickers, bickers with itself
Fade on
Nightly, he lays, contemplating
The escape of his talent
When did it happen
While I run my manicure on his scalp
Attempting to purge anxiety 
He always said...

Old Mr. Nicholson
totters across the town square
to the barbershop where
Clive has cut his hair
for the last forty years or so

Not hardly needing
even a trim
but pretending
he has a reason besides
the gossip waiting within

Inside, the shop smells...

What say you now, before the crowd, for these most heinous crimes.

You're a wretched sort, to face this court, in most uncertain times.

A capital charge, against your heart, for loving all who live.

It's against the...

In the fading heat of a waning falling October night

Trick and Treat travel on their broomstick’s front seat

high speed velocity twin turbo engines in roaring flight

‘We must beat others to hallowed doors and beat defeat’


‘No...

In the shadow of the night that stretches its darkness around,
With the whisper of stars dancing in a muted sound,
I struggled like a bird caught in a silk dream,
With a heart full of desires weaving...

D—Does nothing all day, but write annoying poems 
A—And this one’s no better, just bickers and moans
V—Vainglorious imbecile, should be locked in a cell
I—Indifferent to (senior members), oh boy he can tell
D—Downright irreverent, shows unbridled...

That Icarus made when he had...

Is she the one?
The one I call hun,  
with those beautiful endless eyes,
attached to my arm like a prize. 

We met and got a couple beers, 
now look at us, its been 5 years.

To walk on this earth
Without you to hold my hand 
It's something I question often
It's something I don't understand

To be without your laugh
That cheered me up when mad
It's something I can't get back
The reality of...

My son has broken mouth- confused creature carrying questions on his palm
Wherever he goes, he drops them on anybody’s face

He asked me; Dad, why is my mother called your wife?
It is because she is my...

Love-plants took time to grow
Every seed was sown in a sweet shadow
To you goes the whole credit
Tenderly and intensely you did it
In tense moments of charged soul
Nucleus was in a fusion goal
Green words then one...

PIN THE TAIL

O’Haggard Hoarfrost, she plays winks,
rocks on a sawhorse, tweedle-dee drinks.

Mad Merrie O’Boyle slays lightning from nails —
dazed loony-toon, wears out his flannel tails.

W’cked, their niece, says, “Take them away,” bickers,
with Midnight Judge in...

Peering from my window
Through a thin veil of frost,
It seems that an unseen force
Had resolved to obscure my vision,
As if it were saying, 
“There’s nothing out there but darkness
And frightful frigid discomfort
That is best left...

hear the happy skittle 
knows he isn't brittle
laughs at flying spittal 
from the vicars

see the sullen dancer
living fearing cancer
seldom wants an answer
always bickers

smell the Christmas fairy
legs and arms so hairy
makes me rather wary
nostril pickers

man who's...

It took me long to get here 
now my mind wonders as if 
it never remembered how hard it has been.
Hearts forgive and are quick to give in, 
while the mind memorises all moments lived.
You...

Faith fortitudes beyond fail
Optimistic springs so tell
Rejoicing love taking sail

Best friends secrete wails
Evoking past pain not for sale
Talk freely love of sunny days
Talk freely love of moon’s rays
Envoy whispers of strange fruit
Reject midnight’s traipsing truth

Open...

Lion sits at his table with appetite
to enjoy fruits of his  daily labor
Those with him during every feast
are invisible skulls of past meals

Friends and foes sing and dance
jumping all over the table at meal
