Long Drumstick Poems

“Dragons don’t live up to the talk. 
I’ll find a way to fix the wagon”,
Opined the jealous Jabberwock,
“Of the scaly, lummox dragon.” 

This foul fiend then, most inhumanely, 
Pausing to munch a trembling snack
As his...

Asleep before the head hits the pillow
Head filled with vivid colors swirling, amassing, mixing outside the lines 
Transgressions grow skyward like a bean stalk becoming a giant
Worries wander aimlessly like a cat in the night...

I stand alone
on the precipice of life,
watching the Herd.
It is me 
   the judge
       and executioner,
the one who chokes out the weeds,
the reaper of the weak,

ARTE MAYOR*: Neither Cricket nor Football

Is this the way to prop A-first
Sock not oval ball overhead
Slam not round ball with drumstick dead
Cut not corporate tax: the worst
Hundred millions sweat till tv burst
Swamp Super Bowl cheer-leaders'...

Success brings pleasure
Success we need ever
Ever you smile best for me
Ever my heart...

where will i find her?
i will find her hiding
inside a triangle
humming, bent over
and sewed into
my many great grandmother's
signature
buried, saved
for the hungriest of winters

like a swan passing
white with long leaps
shapeless spirit
who keeps
herded colors
locked inside her
bone tooth...

Starting by conducting...

DIMASH THE SHEPHERD 
(Story of One Sky Conclusion)

I am

Cloaking myself
In God’s soft simplicity 
My tasks complete
Songs sung
Light shone
Souls ignited 

Each day seven wheels
Revolved their full degrees
Now the Awakening 
know that Love is the Strike
of Light...

Hiaku a la Horn

Prim donna did pierce
Both of my ears pretty fierce
Each one hardly hears.

Knew from beginning
Ahead after last inning
We will be winning.

One of my big goals
Kick football between two polls
Then have choice of bowls.

Pickle, Pickle, what a tickle!
Your sour face makes me fickle.
Please remind me about the game;
Your salty face made me forget my name. 

Carrot pickle arrived early,
She was wearing a light bikini,
She was hanging like Houdini...

I met a jolly fisherman with hair as white as snow.
Everywhere he sailed his ship, the kids were sure to go.
He came down from the north, after a little nip and tuck.
Smack dab in the...

Don't let other people play you for a chump
Change that
If you got wolves seeing you walk around, 
looking like a tasty chicken drumstick
You need to change that ... change it real quick
Chumps tend not to...

From the bottom of my heart

for all that liquid gold
that's bought and sold
Your precious honey from your tiny womb
Yes God bless thy fine honeycomb.
But sorry for stealing
your liquid of healing!

And thankyou...

I decided to get a preview of the Thanksgiving leftovers.
Anticipating the humans suffering from day-after-hangovers. 

Lucky for me, someone left the frig open a crack.
I slid in there and laid down under the largest full...

Fork in a rattler tongue,
knife in hooded cobra veiled hand
Silver spoon boa stomach demand,

Squeeze some more blood juice

Hate poisoned liver-flavored pâté crepes,

The hush sound of the mountains 
Such an eloquence that thrills the mind. 
Beautiful landscape terrifies the drumstick;
Groits! 
D blizzard environment, a scene to flourish the hyenas 
D still waters, fogs sent!
Such blessing I dare...

There’s some biscuits and gravy next to it and they are doing just the same.

How do they know me and what is it that...

And there are two things

Especially the cat burglar ones

They tell me to be a crash cymbal,
bright, shimmering, and loud.
I tell them I am a bass drum,
deep, defiant, and dark.
They tell me to be a drumstick,
a leader, controlling, and commanding.
