Long Deletion Poems

You hear so many say, “Forwards,”
a slogan of the day,
especially amongst lefties,
it’s all some of them say.
As if it’s always a good thing,
an unbreakable truth,
(Not to mention an easy sell
to young and unformed youth!)
But a...

Time, a cryptic essence, weaves its spectral threads,
Change, an eternal phantom, in ceaseless evolution treads.
Humanity, in languid pursuit of effortless resolution,
Seeks fusion in complex or integrated constitution.

Such is nature's coquettish dance, a macabre ballet,
The apex...

The pointed ears of a snail can be quite ornate really. Especially if adorned with precious stones as earrings. Buffaloes bulbous brows bear banging bunions. Marvellous. Just marvellous it is to watch the glass moving...

Is merely the folding of the shower curtain that snaps the righteous peg. Sending jasmine smells at nine in the morning to refresh the house and it's occupants. Living in a dishcloth is very very...

365 days of the Alcohol Experiment
After 30 days the need to continue was evident.

Italian adventure to Rome Florence and Venice, cosy restaurants and no wine a penance!
Elation on completion of a holiday with alcohol deletion.

"Give the Dog a Bone"

It's a 'nursery rhyme' and sung 'wisdom' for ages,
which this child ('would be' man) sees as 'love' now (life stages?)
I don't lust for friend's gifts (but still find them quite pleasant)
though...

I hate that I do
And I hate that I continuously try with you
I hate that I know you will never be mine
I dislike that in the drop of a dime
I will drop anything to see...

Tap into the art of the unknown magick , unknown by vocabulary unable to bridge a connection 
Lost like trickles of water in the cracks of the next dimension
 Gaping black hole sucking life 
Through...

Surfing a mind obstructed with Cupid's arrow
was like bleeding a river that flowed upwards,
towards an angry volcano having nightmares.
A volatile internal rumble craving relief,
only in eruption.
Such was his fury with the thought
of her very existence.

Mardi Gras parades are rolling the streets again
I watched 'Isis' from inside my windowpane
A king and a queen were pretending to reign
but from the colorful revelry I chose to abstain

I grew up yelling, "Throw me...

People walk by me
Occasionally pausing to stare
At something that will never be theirs
Smiling heart shaped lips
Almond eyes and I swear to longevity 
These will outlast everything
Turning my head and I eavesdrop 
I fall in love...

The Lion doesn't sleep tonight

What will you turn out to be 
There is always that monster in your dream
It knows you more than you know
It's royal head piece displays its regal determination
I fought fear and...

The gods are online today,
Updating their laws like software patches,
Fixing glitches in heaven while we glitch on earth,
Typing commandments no one reads,
Uploading sermons no one feels.

They scroll through prayers like spam emails,
Ignore the bleeding body...

How sad it is
 when all the ornaments are ungowned
 and the decorations that once abound
 are boxed  lights and tree taken down.

Suddenly a quiet comes 
 after everything is put away and done,

LAMB AMONG THE LITERARY LIONS

Housewives, secretaries, the odd pro willing to stoop,
All came, delinquents, child prodigies, derelict old men
“All welcome” – the Chair of the Writers’ Group
To those looking for support, with a love of...

The semi circular motion of a semi colon is neither a separation of an apostrophe or a mere dot of a full stop. Perhaps the embrace of a bracket within a sentence could harness and...

How can you sit there and not know what's going on.
I don't blame your action, you just speend too much time on the phone.
I'm not in your buisness, I just want you to know.
Ring! "Can...

The Flies and the Bees

The sun has risen and set; another season has been resolved
and many acts of aggression that might never be absolved
No podium will be awarded for the deletion of kick the can
Unfortunately,...

You're deletion,
old object of completion.
Don't need you, wont need you.
Never wanted what I couldn't have.
But within my heart I felt a stab.
I was once able to believe,
that in my heart you weren't seen.
But now I...

Hear! Hear! Our cook is true to his word!
Soup should never be shaken, just gently stirred.

Here only five minutes, not even an hour.
Someone threw in vile seasoning, that made our soup sour.

There are certain ingredients...

The strawberry moon’s in season;
June nights are so sweet a reason
let’s be a bit of a heathen;
A period of deletion
sunlight and stars left uneven;
Due to that dark sky’s depletion
we bathe in a later sunset;
It’s no...
