Long Bumptious Poems

The Lay of The Best Man - Part One

Being in the mind of a savage.

All I know is how to act ferociously.

Emasculating the strongest, just to see him break.
Dismiss him of...

Though amply rested, I still yawn

And feel energized after

break through viz mental impasse,
where endeavor to coax 
germinating ideas to sprout
about as successful as 
buzzfeeding, jump/kick starting 
rooting brown lawn
to whether drought.

A lady of a certain age whose life you think you really know
she lives her life with secrets and some of these appear below

On the surface she is brusque and rather bumptious, never smiles

A dazzling blaze sews magic on warm eyes.
Hurdles were solved, and secret vows were heard.
I won't steer the yarns while holy denies.
My cheers are shorn, and my heart is averred.

And feel energized after
light exercise doth spawn
an mental impasse,
where endeavor to coax
literary creativity analogous

thy noggin unresponsive
even when brute force

These three words immensely tick me off:
"Women of color" sounds frightfully pejorative.
I get very angry, hot, offended and combative,
When I hear these god-awful words that bluff
And marginalize our beautiful and proud women

Power of a fancy
over good reason,
My imagination !

A force of nature
