Long Fakers Poems

MODERN SONNETS I

I prefer the original definition of the sonnet as a “little song” of indeterminate form and length. These modern sonnets vary from more-or-less traditional to free verse.


Maker, Fakir, Curer

So many people and the various sores
Intoxicated in such a way my eyes,
That wanted open to crying their doors.

But Virgil told : “What for you look this guise?
Why now your sight is so carefully brought

World Bleeders (#777 words)


If you claim to be sane
in this crazy whirled we live
I pity the world in your domain
in that you forget to forgive
I think your normal is abnormal
You must be one of the...

competing cousins, interbreeding homo-sapiens
  hominins humming mostly human song
  altruistic generalisers, ever close to dying ways
  opportunistic, never staying long

  self-aware, inquisitive, enlarging brains, empathising
  real representative intelligence
  modelling...

My mother always took the bus.  I never understood why.  We had a car, but she insisted on taking the bus uptown.  I think she did it because father would not let...

Woke up this morning
 on the wrong side of the tracks.
Left out leaving for all the right reasons
 and all the wrong facts.

Caught a ride with a traveling preacher
 in a beat up van.
Said he...

Gateway town, Mississippi and Missouri river flooding confluence,
with its celebration of manifest destiny, its looming, iconic archway.
Stainless westward marker, its culture flowed southward for influence
within the lawn-jockey, pink flamingo neighborhoods of moral decay.

DOOMSDAY:

All claim they revering Almighty GOD,
Same time hailing graven images as their lord.
Plainly they see it no wrong;
The inappropriate way of procuring mammon.
And their advertisment is just a come-on.
Now a norm having an individual deity,
And...

Thus the day started with the norm, children playing in the storm

Feelings so hungry, hunger galore, a pain that never goes away that I do not adore

Crying in such a way that seem to stay

alone inside with me, less than inspirational

  so look out for the more interesting folk

  momentary excitement, the fiery motivational

  beyond the familiar, to stoke and provoke

  daydream departure from mundane...

Dragon


Dragon is my future cat.  I haven’t got her yet.
She is an idea, a hope and a dream,
But that which is written has now been said,
And I am not one to break my word.

I helped others and put myself in danger
There I stood by a manger
Weighed down with an anchor
Full of anger
About to put one in the chamber
Because of far too much rancor
In this world it's become unfamiliar...

It's sad to say but we're pathetic today; cuz we're 
childishly crying at the crib 
We're screaming, and shouting and drooling at the mouth. 
I swear we all need bibs. 
Tear stained faces contorted and...

Zoomanity

Ponderous pretense 
blindsiding any ability to cope, to hope, the 
fabric of reality gropes, worn 
Torn, promises shredding like swilly alibis	
Hoovers and fakers 
backing into their mangled apocalypse,
can only stammer and stare
Movers and shakers denying...

through the crisp walls of thunder
by the wild envy trail
the broken path of wonder
was left all but shaken

down the ruins creep the ivy
to meet the lost stones of pride
they pass the failing foundatins
that still are...

Why must the American people keep asking why
The FBI always seems to get a Bye
When accountability for one's actions
Should be so high
Persecution of so many a- lister's stuck in the public's eyes
Though they deserve the...

Don't let other people define your worth...
And don't give anyone power over your self-respect and self-esteem...
You are enough... You are special...

I’m not yet quite ready for this love

I know I can face the easy days

But when the days between us begin to turn rough

I want to know if it’s tough love

Or together we fall still...

It's like a movie or a rerun maybe only seen once or twice. Maybe I was falling asleep to the television on. You know the foggy, blurry, double vision sleepy night! It's like everything will...

Remaining anonymous,
throughout all of this,
fighting war and crime,
stating facts,
between lines,
hacking computers,
deleting abusers,
to rescue innocence stolen,
a safe hand, to be holdin,
fighting pedophiles,
vigilante ain't the word,
more like a Godsend,
to the children,
who's cries had went unheard.
People can say...

[A slight rewrite of my 2018 poem]

In your modern nation
Your civilisation
Is under a threat from miniaturisation 
’cause one day they’ll make it and someone will fake it
A nice compact nuclear bomb...

That Clips on a rocket
