The bane of a cold sore inside my mouth
The bane of a cold sore inside my mouth
Sent my smooching life south,
whereby I felt like poor Georgie Porgie,
pudding and pie,
who kissed the girls and made them cry.
The medical term for cold sores,
Herpes Labialis, refers

To much for one to bear alone..

Deus Absconditus
God Absconded – Holy Saturday
The morning of that blood flow day

Hear the screams and shouts, marching feet,
Weight of...

Congested Without Psychological Rheum
No antihistamine can

stripped mined wasteland qua sinkhole,
where eternal reverberations soundlessly plunk
inescapable deafening, and

Summer Nights
I smother my face
In the coolness of the nighttime breeze,
Gently chafing my cheeks
Singing its nocturnal lullaby,
And the soft creaking of my rocking chair
Adding to the melody
I watch
As what remains of the warm amber...

Shrinking Violet
It's all smoke and mirrors,
Cocooned in magenta mascara and lavender lace,
The ever-elusive ivory stag now backed into a corner,
Delighting in an artificial solitude's icy embrace,
Brandishing a jaw of pearls to sheathe the dagger up her...

Between Scylla and Charybdis
Greek mythological
drama flourishes,
nee thrives within
noggin of yours truly
gods and goddesses
sporting Hellenic origins
purportedly cavort
higgledy-piggledy
rampantly running ragged
ruminative raconteur
resultant rueful end product
wreckage of present day me

fetus in fetu maintaining stranglehold

Dramatic Monologue
The Man In the Irony Mask
I sat,
Silently watching a spider crawl up the pristine white wall,
Wondering where it had come from,
Wondering where it was going.
The straps from the straight jacket were chafing my neck;
My hands were not free to relieve...

Nice Try, Gundagai
A bloke who hails
from New South Wales

Some guy found gold,

in days now long gone by.
I grew up there

We Are Poems
WE ARE POEMS
We are poems by design,
clever rhythmic sounding rhymes.
Doing exactly what we do,
lengthy wit or wise Haiku.
Sometimes we are homonyms
or beautiful sounds of synonyms.
Multifaceted dialect,
adorned in golden intellect.

Saturation Mimics Satisfaction
Initialising silhouettes submit to midwinter dawn
Beginning willingly to swallow colour of choices
Fledgelings' flamboyant campaigns display oblivion
Audacious adolescents distribute chafing thoughts
Attach entire esteem to securing peer approval
Frivolous get transfixed in youth's lurid allure
Bustling balloons launch from...

It begins with a trinkle of sweat
The end of the day will come with regret

Now you walk painfully, but manly with a terrible rash

Oh the aches and pains that haunt me,
Whilst I sit here in this chair.
Of winters cruel indulgence,

What rights have they to sting so much?

Refused To Die
I held the stumbling humanoid,
learning to stand on two feet- scared as an alien.
I was his cradle and his playground—
even before he was called Homo Sapien.
Watched him crawl on hands and feet,
watched him grow, move...

Come Back To Me - a Lover's Complaint
I don’t know how I should speak of you.
Love of my life, my soul’s companion soul,
A breath and heartbeat indispensable as mine,
Yin to my yang and, too, contrariwise,
Keystone to my arch, and cornerstone--
Because I...

May Day Salute
It is May again, milners, mariners, militants
Ye laborers in union chafing come
And breathe beyond the cankerers fields
Crawl, fruit despised sucklings, from your dusty
Lung corroding mines
Walked the muscled roads your sweat
Have softened for freedom
You propertyless citizens...

Heat
Sidewalk hot,
you could fry an egg.
Arizona summer heat, Phoenix roast factory.
Sweat pouring off my brow like Noah's flood.
Sky, light turquoise, tweaked into a
sun radiant reflective furnace.
Shimmering down alleyways in...
