Long Contortionist Poems

HEROES

Near somber guards, units of children heap 
dead leaves, naive to any else fallen.
Friend, you chuckle, but your posture speaks
of duty on this day of contradictions.

Firefighters bow heads in silent paean, 
while polished trucks stand...

A WISH FOR ALL FISH

Washed up on shores around the world
Already dead, a whale, a dolphin a shark, 
All marine life is suffering, the situation
Has become absurd, 
The facts real and stark!

that's why they finally decided to put her out to pasture.

With Stormin' Norman around you'd tremble with fear,
because all around him was lightning and thunder in the atmosphere.

Anguish in the Rain

A dream coming towards true manifestation
A scream from the north of my past life commiserations
My spleen venting forth through my expressive incantations
A green man distorts the inter-planetary visitations 

Capitalist nightmares and human...

Dear Mr president

I seem to be in a spot of bother,
Would you please grant me a pardon
before you depart the oval room,
 
Seeking a change of reality 
I ran away and joined the circus

I stand in awe.
I watch in amazement.
You're a cirque du soleil performer,
A contortionist.
I watch you bend and twist,
Until you turn into this brute.
This beast.
This monster before me.
You warp your words until all trace of love...

Nor did the dress she donned with damnable disgrace
A woman whose embrace embodies deception’s face
While her grievous grace invades an otherwise sanctified space
With speciousness...

The other cheerleaders didn’t like football
Basketball was much easier to follow
But I got bored watching them dribble the ball
My response was hard for others to swallow

Growing up I didn’t have too many toys

Who'd have thought words make them react like this,
failing to see my wit, just the unattractiveness.
An eye for crudeness that'll overpower the humorous.
I'm sure within their brain a tumour lives.

I searched all night for a contortionist, 
so that I might appreciate my own lack of flexibility. 
She twisted my mind and body in the most pretzel of ways.
Even though I tried hard, I couldn’t...

Inspired by the Iron Maiden Song, Tears of a Clown

Drinking, he recalled the Circus Grim,
and the strange world that ruined him.  
He had done anything for a laugh.
Once, the magician sawed him in half.

We see his antics, and we laugh out loud good and fat.
A contortionist in the most elaborate, upside down ways.
Holding on tightly to our furniture filled with...

Trazepe artists suspended in mid air flight

Contortionist arrested for public indecency

Poets drowning in an ink pot tied to their nib

When the skies fade to gray

When you squirm away 
But baby 
You'll be writhing back one day 
Because you're on a rope 
Attached to your neck...

The shame in age
Stages of rage,
All complaints gauge
Like insignificant sage..
Waiting, mailing complaints out
That say there is no fat and ugly
Only less educated and under dressed
 
Insatiable creation
The distance in teen vacation, where our 
Soul twist...
