Long Fliers Poems

I was skimming Friday's paper as I waited for my barber to put the finishing touches on a customer he he was pruning,
Glancing up occasionally at the Mohawk-headed dropout who'd wandered in from off the...

I remember the 6th February, in 1958,

Virtue, thou art old wine of vague value
Admired even by vintners nary more,
Nor by the adherents taking time’s cue,
Ye decorate archaic ancient lore.

Watch new high-fliers that surface from shores—
Go-getters getting tonnes in rare offers,
Tiger stripes,...

tigers dashing, fliers clashing, look the man, but what is he?

sitting down on a stump, this man was round and fairly plump, his eyes were dark and
menacing, his laugh was cold and chilling, he talks...

Barely weeks of seven of the orgy
Space crash of 117 people in a Bellview
Tragedy came knocking
This time harder with anger to
Ginger blood off its hunger

Unto the street of heaven came the commotion
On the Flyers descendant...

Being a child means you are a Saint;
Sin is obviously wrapped up in your skin and bones;
But to the parents' blindness,a child is flawless.
Mistakes are overlooked in the name of,
That's a child,she's just a child!

Bedyet
	
It’s not time to go to Bedyet, I’ve frequently been told,
By people who won’t travel, be they four or nine years old.
And others even older won’t visit the Bedyetter
They leave it late, refuse to go,...

I step from my car and I see ahead
the shiny glint of smooth, polished chrome,
the place is shaped like an oversized rail car,
but never on the tracks has it roamed.

I walk on into the small...

THE STATIONERY BOY

His little dark street
Is at home in the silky cobweb;
His little dark street
Is only loud in the missionaries’ prayers,
It elicits a gaze in very few people,
It is but an uninvited guest to life.

Uprooted and windswept in the storm you caused
I was aghast and asunder like a sinking boat
the last straw was placed and I drowned
it was your slight that I simply could not fight
you tossed your royal,...

The Blackpool donkeys have given up
they have boarded jumbo jets
to be emotional support animals
for those lesser angels
that protect us wingless fliers. 

They have opted out.
Once they used to plod from Blackpool pier
half a mile up,...

I discovered yesterday that my basement Trolls are all growing up.
Though, those with the butterfly wings are still flittering all about.
You see, yesterday I found a flyer hanging on my basement door, so proud.
It said,...

Friends? Reunited

Via "Facebook Message" the invitation 
Reached me - bold in bright blue tint
With sprawling “school days” animation
And scrawling script in child-like print
Announcing that another year
Could not surely be allowed to pass….
Would I care to...

FLYING HIGH

Sometimes when we are flying so high up in the air,
The devil will shoot at us and we fall into despair.
It may be doubts or trials, it may be inward pain,
It may be some...

Your wings aren't broken,
just bruised and singed.  
From holding them to tightly 
against a burning breast of sin.
    The journey must have been grueling.
Battling storm, surf, sweet siren songs
blood fish praying...

Small cobalt clouds on the horizon
As a dusty blue mist
Appears upon the top of trees
The sun gives all a pink kiss

Wondering is that the same jet
Streaking across the blue?
In the same place as yesterday
The red...

A healthy milk-coloured lad flew
A stars-eyed red-white striped gay kite
Into the ocean blue free sky
Up, always up in heaven's gate
Fellow fliers, the friendly foes
Their near visits create a smile:
Sweet in lips- bitter air in nose
Loose...

Angel Visits (2)

(1)

Rosebud pink dancers endome apricot flushed sky,
Arc'd feathering wingtips exult cirrus high,
Love's pleasured shades delight this thank full eye.

Fright held burden, released in healing long,
Freed heart sings anew, childhood's lost song.

Fierce joy streamers...
