Long Cramming Poems

(Continuing the trip through Hell of Dante with poet Virgilio)

Pah-peh Sah-tan, Pah-peh Sah-tan al-ept!”,
Started Pluto with his hoarse voice toss
And that gentle wise, who any knowledge kept,

Told to encourage me: “don’t have a loss

Literate lettered latitudinarian

Presents the following slapdash
higglety-pigglety bupkis, whereby reader
experiences being mentally hogtied
perusing pseudo poetic perambulation
devoid of sense and sensibility
welcoming character assassination
concerning pride of yours truly,
who merely strung together
words sharing "arian"

as their last five letters
for no...

Miss Jill may find a way.

As I thought about your kindness
And the kids you teach at school.
I pondered how any help can come
From the ink of this old fool.

Is there any value in his work?

Surfacing with gasping breaths,  
as subtle as exhaling whispers
Subtle as flutter-by touches, I felt it,  
and that is how I noticed you.
a ghrá! Love!
And once I saw you spiralling through Space,  
Lifetimes...

Always a storm, again at each others thoats, this girl and guy

In those bleak fields that so quietly lie - stilled as graves,
Between where the thin wind creaks and upwardly heaves,
Unseen feet can sometimes be heard 
Shuffling through the old woods discarded leaves.

For i have seen...

I welcomed you twenty twenty, a brand spanking new year
But all you brought with you was death, misery and fear
So I'll be glad to see the back of you and cant wait 'till you're gone

How come many mothers forgot that breastmilk is STILL,
And ALWAYS will be BEST, for babies suckling lips???

The twinkling of a star turning into cliché,
Repeated only in nursery rhymes?

Memories of long walks drowned by...

learned nothing from the past
by faces drawn in a smile
we're spinning over it like on a carousel
and again, each time it makes us vomit, we remain stunned

we're leisurely starting to resemble like hamsters
cramming into our...

Springing free from glistening 
Fronds
The summers heat leaps for 
Height;
Whilst drifting obscurely far
Above 
A distant lark now hangs in 
Flight.

Floats down his sweet trill,
Accompanied by joyous and
Uplifting revelry,
Over the black crows nasal 
Calls;
Whose draped shadow,
contemplating...

When my written word comes,
Some student's cramming,
Some dull want to do my crime,
And some want to see in Doda my sine,
And want to be like me drink wine,
Some tell about me he is the devil...

Dear Family who never call,
 
Its Christmas again,
 
And needless to say I dislike you all,
 
But despite all my loathing.
 
For your stupid fat faces,

I’ve wrote you a poem,
 
All full of airs and...

Pushed her womb from North to South
Born with a silver spoon in my mouth

I cried and cried and had swollen eyes
Surprised to see, my mother still smiled

Played a lot in her arms
Entered a life full...

Finally, the moment has come
To reflect on the hard work you’ve done
You’ve accomplished so much
In such a short time
Given your all – your skill and your talent
All of your heart
Even though it was a challenge

'O' mom, O' mom..
Am sweet baby,
Thou love the most;
Mom a preceptor and
Play partner of mine;
Cohere me in arms,
Never left alone;
Inspired me in each stage,  
Taught me from crawling,
To walk then talk;
Stage by stage I...

I've come to the conclusion
That my life's a wreak
Poetry strewn all about
My house the biggest mess

So here I am in the middle of the den
In a pile of poetry on the floor
A desperate man with...

all the pheromones circled around me
without knowing, we will gather you all
and we make a world
you draw like the silver treacherous snails
pressed intersections
some over others in translucent layers

I have no idea what you are facing in this segment of life
You are like a labyrinth; I can’t untangle the mayhem without any clues
