Long Exerted Poems

The half elf watched as Lumi spoke with Chroí; then, in the center of the circle the soil began to move and from it appeared the Garden Elf.  He said nothing, he never spoke....

The same speech before hardly could bit me
So that were redden both my cheeks for shame,
And after gave  me comfort as to free;

So used to be the spear, I felt the same,
Of Achilles and...

I, (an articulate, charming, domesticated, 
erudite, friendly, genteel, humorous, intelligent,
kind, learned, male, albeit modest – married) 
with freshly clipped formerly gnarly toenails

My LeftYang eye and ear,
and maybe throat
and hand
and probably vocational foot
remain adamantly persuaded

My most successful time for deep ecological listening
and watching
is immediately after inhaling a vast theological lungful

whereby I felt like poor Georgie Porgie,
pudding and pie,
who kissed the girls and made them cry.

The medical term for cold sores,
Herpes Labialis, refers

Todd was riding in the desert,
through Arizona’s red-brown waste,

A most disruptive sleep - psyche violently pummeled

Upon awakening earlier today
(May 26th, 2020)

jangled, harried and
frenzied across broadscale
valiant effort to remain awake
exerted to no avail.

Exhaustion pounded noggin

I can never comply with fastidious hygiene

Try as thee most persuasive person might,

The will to power is a prominent concept in Nietzschean philosophy,
And exerted a strong influence on some major movements in history.

Brave to catch up the essentiality of the sun.

Gross Income

Talking again,
open, honest.
Friends at best, 
smiling at texts
that take me back.

A reminder 
of a time
I was happier;
I was myself.

Energy exerted,
but you say its fine.
Bid your goodbye,

I reach for energy
to speak again,
but...

And in a pinch reluctantly talk to yours truly,

Once glorious, but now rusting buildings, lined every dusty road.
Somehow everywhere clung the smell of cow dung.
My heavy bag, a giant rucksack,
Most of it I shipped right back.
I thought there wasn't much glitz or glamour,
