Long Blotter Poems

How Wiccans acquired a bad rep is not clear.
Misogynist bullies afraid of these women’s light,
A young teen with an ugly heart of jealous fear,
Might point a finger under cover of night.
But in Salem Massachusetts, hysteria...

III.
Do you know of naïve Martin
who saw a report on the news
of how a young, black man was killed,
that the police had shot the dude!
Now protestors were raising hell,
he saw a large mob on TV,

after riding 
with the
hell’s angels,
running for
sheriff of
pitkin county 
in colorado
(speaking on
the “freak power”
platform---from
which he swore
that if he won---he
would
tear up all the 
streets, replacing 
them with newly
sodden, “never 
take mescaline 
whilst on duty,”
and legalize all
drugs to...

Blood stained into lands being conquered
Blood on this can of Monster
Blood in the water
Blood pooling and congealing from all the slaughter
Blood hitting close to home,  when you got a squatter
Blood whether the weather turned...

One of the wonders of the memories which flow beneath the surface of our minds…nonstop…is that we never know what random act will bring them to the top.

It happens all of a sudden…out of the...

My YouTube Russian car crash wreckophilia 
comes from a bad head on in the family car
near rural Shreveport Louisiana in 1947
when I was a tyke whose favorite berth
was the stowage space behind the back seat

Bring out your white, bring out your red,
Bring out the grapevine's daughter,
Enough to fill a waterbed,
We'll drink it down like water,

Pour it cold, pour it cool,
Pour it a little hotter,
Fill the glass - the golden...

Cok the hammer, drop the blotter, And we will swim through muddy water
Just drop all your defenses, Don't build fences, blur your senses
Watch the corner, your my spotter, We'll walk right through the bloody slaughter

I walked down jazz alleys with stingy cigarettes
and a head filled with typewriter dreams,
silently praying to sidewalk gods
for the inhaling of coconut rum, 
Chicago and Havana,
minds heavy with thoughts of steel and uranium
in the years...

Sir Gumpity Gump was a frog in a stump,
And he lived by a pond full of lilies,
And he wore rubber boots that were sloppy and loose,
But the other frogs thought he looked silly.

He hopped through...

Rain...........
For some its a blessing, For some it comes like a curse...
Some enjoy it, And some get burst...
I too belong to the Enjoying party,
 And make myself sparky...
There are times when my day becomes hard,...

Well said, my poetically challenged friend... 

Your insight is deep and telling of your sage, 
Even if I can not understand your poetic wage, 

Tell us more of your triumphs and travels, 
And don't leave...

A plethora of lights pierce the dark,
as a nightingale’s rhapsodic tune
drowns out a dogs evanescent bark,
neath the talisman of a full moon.

Radiant moonbeams dance on water
gliding sapphire and indigo waves,
as night absorbs black like a...

She would be queen, oh if indeed she could
   after all, she's been where others stood.
So in control of e-mail trolls
   she believes herself far better in the know.
The queenly rule...

Beauty painted by nature in the clouds,
A big umbrella that shields not the crowds,
Pitter-patters and everyone is soaked,
Thereafter, sunlight anger is provoked.

Brushes not coloured by oil or water,
Yet hues of blue, pink and red on...

My inky echoes conflate, 
atop mountains of ivory versos; 
Blank pages into whispers,
like the sway of moonlight tides;

Papers dappled by my ineffable, 
frays of jet-black cursive swirls;
My best ideas are forever found, 
somewhere amidst silent...

At first, only a few droplets
fall from heaven to quench the heat.
And like drips of perspiration,
splashes start to freckle the street.

What begins as a light sprinkle
morphs into a raging downpour.
And water pools around manholes,
for flooded...

Crazy but immune-

two ships pull into the dew,

sea houses bloom,

whistle blowers loom,

the California coast at noon-

the lake is inland with you,

...to run up a muck
take the mood,

teeter totter-
walk on blotter,

teeter totter-
be gone in a slaughter,

in...

Once was part of a folk group
About fifty years ago
Just before that group from England
Took over the whole damn show

You known, that famous foursome
Blew us out of the water
Folk scene died almost immediately
They wiped us...

Come on down to Pleasant Pharms:
Apothecary quaint with charm.
Motto here is 'Do no harm'
Sometimes we sort of miss…

Grab some psychedelic fungus,
Mushroom that are quite humongous
On the trails right here among us,
And colors when you piss!
