Long Conforming Poems

I wanted to write
 The best slavery poem   ever written—
Perhaps win a Pulitzer or Faulkner. 

I had every intention of conforming 
To the standards 
Of modern verse and composition, 
Lyrics fluidly written, 
Perfect...

I’ve always been a prankster and a lover of a joke.

with eyes upon the World,
I wonder, are we mourning
with ebon flags unfurled –
or are they but a warning,
some draped like snakes and curled,
stray stars and stripes adorning,
sent from the netherworld.

I wander through...

people always say to me
you clearly want to better me

With so many running to and fro

Employment quest sought December 11th, 2021

There was a king once reigning
Who carried a great, big flea—
And far from him complaining,
The flea filled the king with glee!
For to him that flea was dearer
Than even his only son,
And to make his preference...

An Existential Curiosity

~0~

Ambitious existent presence to yield,
Hostage that's well endured of a pre-life,
Handcuffed fallible praying to be healed,
Labyrinth attributes drudgery strife.

Redeeming shrilling lob gratis to air,

Reborn

She thought she knew who she was,
But took a look again.
Never aware of what she’d become,
Now the present she has to mend.

Total isolation,
She felt alone on this Earth.
Smothered by rejection,
Not realizing her worth.

She was torn,

All the need
All the hiding

All the hate

The want

Sick of nothing that has anything to do with you
And...

A Wolf...A Lamb...A Wolf

Forgetting myself...started with me
To be sweet, to be quiet...to fit in.
Conformity!
Impress by agreement.  A Lamb I could be.
Convince all my thoughts;

My best thought is, I'm at...
