Long Down the hatch Poems

Billy the kid kept roving around,
A campfire here, a cowhand there,
He traveled alone through country & town,
Always headed somewhere,

One certain day he rode into town,
His forty-five strapped on his side,
Just to stop and drink one...

You wake up in the morning to look in the mirror,
To say "This is me".
To Compare yourself to what you think you should be.
"I'm fat.",
"I'm ugly.",
"How can this be?",
"Why did God do this to me?",
You...

Bring out your white, bring out your red,
Bring out the grapevine's daughter,
Enough to fill a waterbed,
We'll drink it down like water,

Pour it cold, pour it cool,
Pour it a little hotter,
Fill the glass - the golden...

I come to you with humble thanks for all that you’ve delivered,
For Englishmen to walk the planks and for timbers left unshivered.

I thank you for a glassy sea and the steady blowing breeze,
For giving all...

I was alone
in here I found a crowd
I was scared
in here there was courage, strength they said
Strengths to harm and kick and maim and kill
Drown the world in petroleum soaked rage
Napalmistry is a real study

A menu, Annetta, I’m hungry as a bear.
But first, something lighter, tell me, what have you there?
Chips, by the bowlful with salsa as starter fare.
Do bring them A-S-A-P, and yes, I declare
Extra? bring some queso...

I have a little something that I want you to see.
It’s a sample of great-grandpa’s secret recipe.
Blend of ingredients in the right combination;
hidden formula passed down to my generation.

Great-grandpa was a man having great longevity.
He...

Saturday morning...5 cups down the hatch
I'm feeling a little better...more pills what a batch
Moaning and groaning...as I head out to the shop
Got to get that new tube of ointment...hopefully my knees don't pop

Another beautiful day...I'm...

He left this morning after tea and time with me.
before the early morning dawn and between sleepy yawns.

He has done this all his life and the better part of
the past thirty years his wife left...

Goodbye is a feast finished
The last morsel down the hatch
Improper to ask for seconds
No aperitif to this lonely hunger

For every goodbye must be a hello
Even if no one arrives home
Welcome your darkness, don't go
My mistrusted...

A cough and a sneeze
another tissue please
Nose runny throat sore
fatigue and feeling wore
Slight fever lost appetite
wanting it to end to feel right.

Vicks rub on the chest
a little under and in the nose
Wool socks upon the...

Singing Sounded Awful

When singling he howled like a hound
And had emitted such an awful sound 
Like metal being scraped with a trowel
Sometimes sounded like a horned owl.

For his singing no one gave a hoot
Of all evil...

Another day walking in fear
Another day of hiding inside 
Why me?
Cowering down all the time 
No where to turn; he’s always there
They can’t help me 

I tip the bottle over,  the little pills spill...

a fiery steel drum keeps 'em warm
eyes that never say goodnight
cigarettes that hold 'em tight

we did realize
Patrick early he would raise
much to our surprise
(who hard four short thighs)

(wore a neat disguise)
(hit box after many tries)
(would chase away flies)
(for food often cries)
(both wet eyes always...

Shadows amid the waves
bird-eye targets,
besties gather for 
a fine dining experience;
aqua splits to pierce
of bill.

Fueling up the old pouch,
a winging pelican riding sea breeze
to sustenance; 
all hook-billed and needing no bait.

Just a hop, skip-skim 
across...

It feels kind of like someone gave me a drug,
mixed for the purpose of stamping out love.

Slipped like a Mickey when I was away.
Slammed down the hatch and now all I can say

is, "I don't...

Sweet sweets,  the marrow and feets.  This lusting for organs, sinew, and meats.  Lovely is this vibration of death echoing along my taste buds.  Warm, pungent breath.  Like a holocaust...

On the wing in the dawning light,
Spring's new growth comes into sight.
Flowers, berries, nuts and seeds,
a smorgasbord to meet my needs.
I am a robin in grey-brown attire,
with my orange-red vest adding some fire.
A harbinger of...
