Long Centenary Poems

Jinxed jesting jejune junior jobber...
just jabbering gibberish (A - J)

Again, another awkward ambitious
arduous attempt at alphabetically
arranging atrociously ambiguously
absolutely asinine avoidable alliteration.

Because...? Basically bonafide belching,
bobbing, bumbling, bohemian beastie boy,
bereft bummer, bleeds blasé blues, begetting
bloviated boilerplate bildungsroman,

Although flowers bloom it’s awkward to say that they are flowers
because they are not flowers, but thorns disguised as yellow pistils 
and stamens surrounded by the petals made of pieces of colorless
paper. Moreover, their fragrance...

When that fatal accident happened . 
How would i have cried and weep for you?...

Will I live longer than I suppose to be living...possibly a centenary,
and struggle on a cane to sustain my weakness?
Those beautiful and vibrant years have fled to impose fears,
making my presence unattractive and more blowzy,

Perdition Be Damned!

Body electric zapped
lower gastrointestinal tract
wracked with wretchedness
pitted, rocked, and tortured
severe muscle spasms cramp
deathly hallowed deliverance

beseech divine creator to exorcise relief
any panacea trumpeted vetoed
pestilential nausea diarrhea
wreaks relentless havoc
horrid ordeal twists insides
lack strength to live

Famished and flagging footsoldiers;
formerly fitters and farmers.
Facing fatigue, fitful fever,
faeces and foul, foetid fungi.
Fostering feelings, frustrated,
for this faraway, foreign field.

Forsaking fissures and furrows,
forced forwards with fleetness of foot.
Firearms flash and fragments fly far,
feigning the firmament...

I never thought to see a man’s bones glistening white.
Nor see disembodied limbs flying left and right.
I never thought to see mud the colour of red
Nor see young men blown to bits or laid dead.

They answered the call,
From afar, they came one and all.
Young Lions, they came to give chase,
On the fields of Europe, enemies they faced.

Murderous fire rained down as they came ashore,
Thousands lay down, their lives were...

Famished and flagging footsoldiers;
facing fatigue, fitful fever,
faeces and foul, foetid fungi.
Fostering feelings, frustrated,
for this faraway, foreign field.

Forays so fraught with fine failure;
forfeiting furtive and fiendish,
fatally fettered from the first.
Forged by such fatuous fawners,
for folly to...

The arid forest's grounds
are paved with dry and riddish leaves
that the whimsical wind loves   
to take off the shivering sages!

Whoever hears the cries of the ravens
is a soul that sympathizes their agony;
they have...

my latest anti CCP turtle poem--



CCP Turtles Grassing Line
China’s virtual hotline
Report online remarks
Slander Communist Party history
Crack down “bygone nihilists”
Party’s 100th centenary July

Grass line allows society report
Netizens “twist” Party’s history
Attack governance policies
Denigrate national heroes
Deny superiority radical...

Poetry

Aged eighty Joyce started to write
Her poems my senses ignite
Imagery so divine
I just wish it was mine
Great poetry brings such delight

Making Fudge

Joyce really loves making fresh fudge
I wonder if I give Joyce a nudge
She will...

The Centenary of Remembrance

The ranks of sunflowers follow the contours 
Of the vale, marching across to the ridge in 
The distance. Roots reach down into the
Rich soil, feeding greedily on the memories 
Beneath.

Yellow faces turn...

Centenary 
100 years since that war and the mighty are dressed
in their fine uniforms and holding hollow speeches.
For some the strutting about is triumphalism, but we 
cannot say so, but the British and French feel...

Through sickness you know the value of good health,
Through evil the value of good and in
Death, you value your brothers and sisters.
What would they have done if it were to be their daughters?
What could the...

17.9.2024, Tuesday,

The moon hangs up high in the dark but clear sky. 
It is so full and bright.

For more than half a centenary at least,

Waving poppies, ruffled by the summer breeze, look up 
At the deep sky and warm sun, pillows of clouds gentle 
Contrast to the green below and the scattered red faces 
With soul black eyes. Children’s...

Dig no more for the chains of his grey haired heart
keeping his bones away from the common cart

A wild man who caught and sang the sun in flight
raging going not gentle to that good night

A hundred year is gone,
Suspence still fill the air.
Truly, the signs are with us.
About an exodus?
But no, not a plague of locust,
It's a plague of men.
The people are the disaster
Since naturally we have none.

Quite familiar in the world was her fame!

Her Majesty was the fascination of the time
Hardly one may forget her face, in the lifetime!

Kindness was her message
Kingdom held her as the...
