Long Excel Poems

A funny frog called Mr Snog,
once lived beside a slimy bog,
he was a most peculiar fellow,
his hat was red, his boots were yellow,
his waistcoat was an olive green,

(Continuing the trip through Hell of Dante with poet Virgilio)

Pah-peh Sah-tan, Pah-peh Sah-tan al-ept!”,
Started Pluto with his hoarse voice toss

Of rotten stench which the deep...

(alternately titled: idolizing childhood's end
today April 25th, 2021
generates elusive warm treasured memories).

analogous to an outsize pipe cleaner)
until she became a tweener
my Matty...

But you need to be briefed,
On a tragedy I believe you must not know.

"White the Lowest Sky"



Cries the Lowest Sky 
tear drops fed as manna
o’er the littlest warrior 
face raised to ultra Light

Which has its start about nine months before

Learned how to excel in sorrow
Never listening to words

hearken to the sound
of reality come round
crowing to the sun

DESCRIBE HEAVEN 

To describe heaven… let me see,
from ideas in my head?
From scriptures that have been twisted,
