Long Examiner Poems

AS A KID AND BEYOND

did I ever wonder?
what my upbringing brought for me;
and did it disappoint
or just bring feelings to resurface,
but never sensitivities 
of deep down and personal,
and did I really care
of what there was...

I am a right-brain prominent writer
which must not be confused with
a prominent left-brain writer,
which I am almost decidedly not
nor would I aspire
toward such all or nothing thinking
and not at all both/and feeling.

Like most writers,
I feel...

WHERE'S THE LOVE, HONORABLE CANKER:

Only 'cause men not ready to ponder,
They speak literally and rhetorically at a yonder,
Not regarding how to make this world better.
Do you realise there're bigger questions to that which matters;
How can...

The human being
(also referred throughout history
as 'long pig' and 'hairless goat'
in the case of younger specimens)
Observing the anatomy and skeleton,
one can see that the human animal
after death young tender meat.

The large central pelvis and broad...

Man and dog, reputed best friends, rise above death’s fears.
With lives on the line, heroes save, minds and hearts in action.
Stories mount across counties where rescuers save many tears.
Not for any gain or fame, but...

A love twisted in a high school romance,
Both fixated on puppy dog eyes,
Skipping classes followed by lies,
Predictions to never be seperated,
Only as much as parents tolerated,
They would run if given the chance,

Upon a mellow river...

Have they yet arrived? The throng asked; they looked like a mob.
Who is it? The Queen Mother? Queried an elegant snob.
Better than that, one said as a limousine pulled up; a cat strutted out.
It‘s John...

my voice may not be loud
I may not stand out in the crowd
not game changer
but a strange stranger
that's me

others have a louder roar
other wings, a higher soar

but, listen...there's more

epic doesn't negate my tale
Nor does fame...

The scene, often the sofa, after it's gone dark but I neglected to turn on the light but continued to sit and think.

The role: soul examiner, well of my own anyway.

Perhaps it's navel gazing, perhaps...

WHAT IF TIFFE MARRIED ZIFF AND WHAT IF?...


GOOD EVEnING!
Now what if?
Tiffe married Ziff
And McGriff divorced Woodcliff
And what if
I sniff and smell it someone cheating
Someone's being an adulteress
The dead body was frozen
Melted flesh was soft
But the...

I got myself into quite a pickle
when sitting my driving test,
My nerves were making me jumpy
but my instructor said just try your best

The examiner looked like Godzilla -
he didn’t try to put me at ease,

When I die
I give the Pulitzer Board 
Permission
To exhume my lyrics

And some overweight ME
Will put my verses on a slab
Going thru my stanzas for tone
looking for assonance and 
Consonance in my bones

As my family waits...

Her body temp is at ten degrees the coroner said.
He lifted my lifeless hand and I let if flop down by my head.
That tears it, I thought. I might actually be dead.
There is no sign...

Although she urged her husband Job
To "curse God and die",
Was this said in hatred? 
More likely, with a cry.

She too lost her livelihood.
She felt her fibre fray
When all her precious children
We're suddenly taken away.

The man...

Congratulations you’ve done it!
And with flying colours too.
But then we knew you could do it
We had every faith in you.
Although your nerves were jangling
And your tummy wouldn’t settle,
We knew once you took it to task
You’d...

6/8/17


Coming in faster than speed racer
Heart colder than a glacier

Trying to duplicate the flavor
Another clout chaser
With or without a pace maker
And bracers
Soft as a wafer

Yet another copy cat
You're wrong for that
Going to one up you...

Knock. Knock.
“Who are you?”
She was actively listening, using all her senses.
“ Don’t you recognize me? Don’t you really?”
“No, I Don’t.” She was impatient.
“ I am the soul in you. Your dream. Your positivity.”
 “I don’t...
