Long Fidgety Poems

In sandy Egypt lived three men
In ancient days when pharaohs reigned
The kingdom of the pyramids,
Osiris and that Isis’ den,
Whom everyone worships and heeds,
Or at least doing so they feigned,
And those gods too blessed them and...

The shepherd stood on the field, frail,
He knew not what to do when and why,
As the wrathful sun did steep down,
The confused chap followed his humble sheep.
Then one man neared and asked his name,

I am born into the Calvagna family, a weak frail child. 

At the age of three I tell my mother I will be a hero someday. She weeps holding me closely.

Elegant in burnt orange afterglow, 
sparkling starlight opens the show.
Neighbors and strangers appear all aroun’, 
porch lights and car lights enlighten the town.

They arrive afoot and atop handlebars.
Tots wave from strollers like famed movie stars.

I hate wearing flamin’ suits and I hate wearing rotten ties, 
but if eating in a ‘glitzy’ restaurant, then I have to realize,
I can’t go wearing shorts and singlets or my best pair of thongs,

We have hall had such pleasurable idle days
Where everything becomes still and quiet 
That surrounds us 
Apart from the pleasant melodic delightful
Audible sounds and sonett I of twittering warbling fidgety birds that calm me
Perched...

Hungry for munchies, on his way to the lunchroom, 
a rambunctious, persnickety,“fuss-budget”, elderly
jittery, fidgety, geezer, named Cassidy…
whose questionable dexterity, aghast by a massive sneeze,

Still regarded mysteriously
A lot of conspiracy
In the sky, on land and near the sea
Eventually I could clearly see

Silly me
Can't do it foolishly
Has to be done skillfully
If I...

It's inauguration day, January 20, 2021.
I could be at home, watching the TV presentation
pomp and pageantry. But old, achy, onerous and 
anxious, bladder full with no toilet near, I wait 
in a chilly car in...

"I WON'T sleep this side. I'll sleep there tonight!"
Though this demand was chimed with a soft voice,
As she might have thought protection of her right 
He quickly deplored it, calling it some mere noise.

Kicking up dust with my Mary Jane shoes
too many years ago now to be counted
in the darkening shadows of one bronze summer day
I was holding his hand, with assurance and trust
filled with concoctions of sugared...

'Ah Sleep' my tired body coos to the fidgety brain,
When the face of the clock says eight and twain,
The cajoling is a waste, it has the temerity to feign,
'Still at work', it prides and my...

When people say don’t use the F word,  do they have any idea how formidable fellowship, flux, foxy, finite, and figure-head are freely and fervently formed?
The F word?
What F word?
This crazy admonishment has led...

On the course at Coomealla where the Murray River wends,
Golfers hit their balls and miss the kangaroos,
Now their aim is not to hit them where a fairway shot extends,
For a wayward shot can see us...

I get a severe case of ghetto epilepsy
when it goes skin dark at night
Get a bad reaction  ...  very violently,
to any rearview flashing lights

Hear the loud siren behind,

Like a tsunami from the ocean
I want to churn everything, inside out
But rue the fact that, 
Like a bubble in the air 
Have to be content with only 
Being fidgety inside myself.

ADHD
Life with adhd
Our brains work differently
We have a lot of hyperactivity
We are good at what we can do
But just struggle to focus as good as you
We can get distracted very easily
Excessive talking and being fast...

We write to you, your elfin crew,
To wish you joy and cheer!
For Christmas is upon us now -
The climax of our year.

We've toiled together - unified,
In our allotted crews.
And now we're stuck in training,
With barely...

The bustle of life 
tantalizes my poetic passion
splutter of materialism 
misleads my fantasy world
and my poet mind is restless
fidgety of aggression torments

restive passion wandering around
astatic mind excruciates
my writing enthusiasm
distraught poetic...

and under duress to even begin with,
hope is all we find and hope...
