Long Demote Poems

Was the place where we climbing down the bank
Then arrived, alpine and, for what was there
Such as, that any eyesight would be shrank.

Similar to landslide that in side bare
Before Trento the Adige just smote,
Or for...

His head lifted, and looking for his brothers, 
He found his mum, sanely able again to relate to him, 
Cold, death-like figure, icy face, warm outline of a kin, 
Grieving, her brave face emanated hope...

Stripping For The Crown

Well, I sat back and thought about your contest
As silly as it may sound, I chuckled with a grin
A contest I desperately desire to win, 
Bribing the sponsor, with words - not...

Its looming presence alerts me 
I don't want to turn around
The sense of hate, anger and evilness that fills the room
I'm still, like I am frozen in time 
It gets in my head 

Don't do...

…amazing how things change over time, from a simple knock at someone’s door, smoke signals, walking & serenading to the Pony Express, and now Cell Phones…what next, microchip implants?


Tattarrattat of sounds making universal calling to...

I am if not a man of routine  
A glass half full is a still a big spill if it tips
I can't believe you’d let those words slip 
So make like Pluto and demote...

The day soul sweeps the air, the knock of tears never benefits, all the 
Enjoyments with red alert and maple of crystal cry which doesn't 
Benevolent in the morning life expected to surround to sorrow.

What do I want to write?
I will write about whatever the h I want to write
Why do you feel like you have to write about 
Christmas on Christmas Day?
I will write about dreams
Do you believe...

Gratitude attitude grow
Peacock attitude away throw
Though temptations line up in a row 

Pointless, heartless any soul you to hurt
Under no circumstances invective blurt
Because so doing grows you curt

Achieving trinkets, reaping limpets
As you blow trivial trumpets
Deriding,...

NonViolent messiahs
and bodhisattvas
are not born to scorn
or demonize
or even demote
or excommunicate
win/lose competition games
like capitalism
and patriarchalism
and systemic racism
and sexism
and totalitarianism
and fundamentalism
and dogmatism

All politically privileged
undemocratic
sometimes self-righteously punishing
authoritarian parenting shame
and teaching individualistic blame
and governing with rod and staff
and...

Tongues loose, tongues in a hangman’s noose
Wag without care to declare nonsense
As wisdom salvaged from the sluice
Where nonsense whacked common sense 

Lost in a sea of error whose terror
Harmed victims concealed by protagonists who opted...

Obscuring pieces belittle raw, core inspiration,
remind the ants of the fictitious ground.
Walk upon and diminish the already strugling
with shouts of beautiful aclamation.
Persuade the free of will, held fast to choice,
to relinquish the beauty of creativity,
to...

Fairest and prettiest of all queens, you're never faithful to your king whose hands
barely touch your luscious lips that others secretly kiss;
and you meet them in an empty dungeon to satisfy your urges of lover,

Our lady who is first
Our lady Margret, she is so great
All over the world there be none like her
Among the many she stands the greatest
What a lady our Margret is.

Her silence speaketh volumes
Her poise shouteth...

Driven

My inspiration lies,
Deep within my soul.
When it comes to surface,
Therein I seek my goal.

There’s no control I have,
For when I come to see
What it is I yearn for,
Completely controls me.

Determination sets in,
Burning passion cannot hide.

Knick-knacks, bottle caps, pop tabs, and acid
The reflux of my mind of many memories redacted
Connections don't elucidate the fuzzy things that happen
Only emphasize the vacuity of brains fried and flattened

I wouldn't deign to age another...

Afraid that a slip
May render me maimed
I’ll likely lose grip
Of all that I’ve tamed

I’ll wind up behind 
With weights on my shoes 
Handicapped and blind
There’s too much to lose 

I’ll never get back
To being afloat
Once...

The joy you bring is of amplitude  
You sing the joy to my heart
No melody is merrier than your words
For your words are the sweetest
No heart is so adjacent than yours
You touch me the...
