Long Boatload Poems

Love was plastered on my mind

who were born with real pale skin,

they cried out,”Look to the past!

talented young lass promising future
media attention did capture
overnight starlet exhibits bravure

This world can be so cold
Lucky if you can grow old
Often things shook up like a snow globe
Do you know what it's like to have no home?
On the population a government spies,...

if you keep your mouth shut
Feel free to speak openly on all things,
as long as the sealed information stays put
Let your bank account numbers go up,
as certain liberty restrictions get placed on lockdown

"Snow Globe"

Respect the virtuoso
You don't or you know so
Life can be peligroso
People going loco

Humans addicted to chocolate aka cocoa
And the other kind of coco (cocaine)
On a high horse, acting like your the major-domo

Here I am,...

Confidence lost in an abandoned mind
Smoky sulfur

This is my poem No. Seventeen Hundred

Gadzooks, that's a boatload of poems

Think my brain would have turned to mush

Or perhaps I'd wind up in a home 

Nope, it appears I'm as prolific as ever

It's a salt water, sea
Water, popcorn town
Where the carousel music goes
Around and around
And the horses fly free.
To the karaoke's tide.
Someone grabs the gold ring
To win another ride.

A salty, buttery odor
Permeates the air -
Lobster rolls and...

Hi, how are you doing? Are you still living in the past?
Don't you know life’s hourglass is running out really fast?

How quickly
vanity will undo a man
sitting in an outpatient ward,
his, no minor ills
yet feeling worse
for the treatment
than its need.

Aware the ticking of the clock,
exchange of amiable words -
they never wear solid colors
in oncology,
always gaier prints
and...

A Hospital Hoot!



Twas a freezing winter that year!
Drove in a fright that dark, starless night.
Car sliding all over slick, Chicago ice.

Question they asked,...
