Long Dressings Poems

Inextricably rooted with hair fixation

As a lad in grade school,
yours truly, (a diminutive, intuitive,
oversensitive, and vegetative potato head kid,
whose voice exhibited

especially those young bucks
who sported budding antlers
plus thick...

This is the town to beat the rest,
Where history and present blend
As through its many streets you wend. 

Where once a monastery so great
From every view would dominate,
Where Pilgrims...

In U.S. municipalities
we have Survivalists
and Thrivalists,
Revivalists
and Liberated Rapturists,
AggressiveRisk Addicts
and MultiCultural WinWin Escapists
into monoculturing WinLose Cocoon Closets.

Survivalist addicts
often show up at Town Council
and School Board meetings
fueled by alcohol
speaking Either This Yang Wins!
or that alien green ecofeminist...

(alternately titled no particular reason:
bring unto “fake” trumpeting Caesar
seven salad dressings from deep freezer
and lettuce deign at your plea azure.)

Graced with boyish good looks,
innocence and naiveté to boot,
an especial loathing toward me
chicken legs re: spindleshanks

I wish time could reverse back,
And bring the older days flashback,
When ladies were real women,
Who could work smart like men,
And provide all needs for the family,
Without complaining of the tiredness lily,
Old is gold,ladies,seek advice.

Gone are...

Times were hard – that is what they said
When they told me about their early years - 
before I was there, their son
Filled with the hunger of youth, the lust
For life, passion – the truth

Keep an open eye to watch
The mile window of your soul
Remember to make it whole
 

You must not wane...

Don’t call me a Hero.
You weren’t even there
When I got the wound
That put me in this chair.
I was doing my duty
Patrolling disputed ground
It was just random chance
That I took a sniper’s round.

You didn’t see me
Moaning...

Causing gapping wounds of disappointments developing infections. 
Pus oozing oppression, odor of deception.

On any side of the fence
Things can go from calm to intense
Near and far from incense
On a planet that is immense
Better always use common sense
While events continue to...

Sky blue azure topped ceilings

How can it be that autumn so soon again is stealthily approaching,
With its pleasing sounds, scents and varied hues steadily encroaching!

The Lady



In a town that stretches eleven blocks
There is a girl who walks just on one side.
She peeps into seven stores
Along her way. 
Just on one side of town.
There is the other side, of course.

I never preferred my dad,
He always objected me,
He doesn’t like my company,
He argues on my smoking and alcohol,
Also minds my late night parties.

But I felt as a puppy at home,
I opposed him and always cried,

Late summer is a challenge for me.
Every year I’m overwhelmed with desire,
when passing fruit stands, vegetable stands,
and even farm wagons on front lawns,
overflowing with fresh produce.

I salivate in the car and especially the grocery store,

Doesn’t change the dimensions
That here I walk alone

When I walk past the store
For Louane cher I open the door
Her smile is enticing,...
