Long Crocks Poems

I shan't try and be witty an engage in the norm 
peeking through such pain my eyes see dim 
as crushing temporal lesion push against 
soft tissue endings pounding my optic nerves 
from my forehead...

Just risen in the east
And on my right the mellow sun about to swoon
Provided a rare feast

We were packing lots of books and crocks 
For the church rummage sale frantic.
My son grabbed  a book from one box,
And threw it on the heap...

Are There Angels?

There are angels in the city
Angels in the trees
An angel in your pocket
Pick any one of these
There are angels in your backseat
Angels on your dash
Angels that you might meet
If ever you should crash
There...

Wrap, rap a Christmas wrap
open the mind turn on the tap,
a roll of paper with colouration
metres or yards without perforation,
to be carefully folded with a gift inside
a present for the season you wanna hide,

that seemed so full of sparkly things
Trees here, over there a unicorn what?
Yes a unicorn perched on a grassy rock

I’m racing round the NASCAR scene,
With bugs and grit upon my gleam.
The rubber flies, the dust goes wild,
Screen’s smeared, rip it off, I cried.

Got no...

Flourished forrest's beyond outstretched hills,
send trees reaching as felled by hell.

Required life's forces of watered stench...
Drinks fro' the housed waters so foreign and secluded, 
hopefully cleansed and non-polluted.

A darkened sky all barren of hope...
Drives man...

(Tribute to the movie “Out of Africa”)

I gave my heart to Africa…
There, on a farm,
In those vast green plains,
With coffee perfume in 
The crispy air…
I had a farm in Africa…
Where the gazelle dance
In the sweaty...

Observe the bending of tree & flower.
To rages; a gale… in tempestuous hours.!
Rain deep in curtain, makes interplay;
Fresh night skies, await the sun in power.

Morn air stirs, Lady’s chinking; breakfast crocks.
Day-streams 'cross backyards, endless blocks.....

Soon, I will journey to the middle of the moon,
There, I will proudly place a memento with flair,
Fine sculpture shaped for reduced-gravity design,
One like proud Lady Liberty, facing the sun.
Like a bright beacon blazing in...

Dashing through the malls,
in my brand new bright orange Crocks,
I know it's cold today,
so I put on fresh wool socks.
Bells on churches ring,
as I run from store to store,
my arms are really full,
they just can't...
