Long Exotics Poems

The Avenue of Gastronomic Delight

Down the broad avenue called Gastronomic Delight
City life gathers when twilight awakens;

In eateries, drive-ins, greasy spoons and taverns – jumpin’ joints jumpin’
Like Snoopy with his dish doing the suppertime dance;

Lured by...

Now let us forget foreign captains
And Conquistadores myth
That colors the morning exuberantly
With exotics wars and phony fathers
Like a fine lady strolling along a rotten street
I have tasted lemon
And though I wince at my tongue's
Sharp reaction
I...

We embarked on an adventure
That was quite quixotic
A scientific dream quencher
Searching for exotics

We started where we thought made sense
Out on the sunning docks
Where perhaps there’d be an immense
Native Great White Butt Ox

We packed all of...

"Knock It"

What I smoke is frosted
Money and time it costed
Has yet to turn out how I've wanted
Remaining undaunted
Going in and out of areas that are haunted
People continually taunted
So worried about what the cat brought in

Doggone...

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Part 1

Of all the different kinds of love. 
Some are gentle. 
Some are oppressive. 
Some come with pre-conditions. 
Some come from expectations. 
Some come with zesty flavors.
Spices and exotics.

In a secluded corner of an...

Whose singing, dancing others said wild
One with flowers and love in her song.
She was a wildflower all along.

Wildflowers bloomed for miles and miles.
We looked at them and broke out...

Easter Eggs and Tulips

Grandaddy was a quiet soul, 
born in 1888 on the first day of Spring.
He often stopped to graze his sheep, 
on the lush green grass 
found at my grandmother’s old house, 
where...

Chopsticks
Lockpicks
And exotics
Continually the clock ticks
Certain situations required antibiotics
Or the use of narcotics
For some it angered and others it was hypnotic
Near and far from lifeforms that are aquatic
There is peace or conflict
In a world that can...

One day when it was wet and grey
I filled a form and sent away
Exotic mix the order said
To brighten any garden bed

I wrote a cheque, a large amount
It left a hole on my account
But John...

Africa, 

Upon this vantage pedestal I see you, 

i gaze from this hollow quest, 

away from the home of my ancestors, 

a sojourner for a time, 

I yearn, 

to tread again the beautiful climate of...

Easter Eggs and Tulips

Grandaddy was a quiet soul, born in 88 on a spring day.
He often stopped to graze his sheep, on the lush green grass shoots in May
found at my grandmother’s old house, where...

We have this flirtation me and you--
never quite able to see your face.
Watching you while all alone.

Sometimes you write my night
with scrolls of silken words
saying love notes upon the dark sky.

I would blast my way...

Coexist in complexity
A perplex proxy of our galaxy where exotics exist
Exhale the excessive vexations toxic to expansion and relax among the obnoxious exposure
An example of expanded thought mixed with textbook genetics
An extrovert flexible to the...
