Long Flitter Poems

One warm Summer’s day
As I sat in my folding chair
Something caught my eyey
Something there
Something flying through the air
It was a butterfly
It did flitter and flutter by

When it decided to land
It landed on my left hand
I...

You wonder why, my love
These memories flitter in the hallways of my mind
Knocking on the door
of every room
Where I’ve hung
Do not Disturb Signs
For I don’t want to remember you
My Paradise Lost and yet….

Oh, you wonder...

Dark matter seems to be
What isn’t there to be seen
In between
What we see.

They dub it dark since you cannot detect it
Nor can they inspect it
With telescopy.

Yet, while it can’t be descried
It cannot be denied
For equations...

Man and poet? Bet you know it
Tender verse can get you girls
Plain or – whoopee! – eager groupie
Matching your poetic pearls

Just how much you get to touch, you
Can ascertain easily
You’re a freshman? Write for trash...

Through pristine glass observed
autumnal leaves a scatter
the litter of the season
to dishevel and clutter up the garden

Sweep the crumbs away
lay polish to the smudged and smear
for glinting tiles speak ever more clear
to build the walls...

How could you be so chaste 
leaving me by myself to waste
Letting me rot away inside 
like some hidden away lie
White lies black truths 
Closed mouth
	Ears
Eyes
To the injustice of a life taken away by the...

My cocoon tightens –colors tease
I am feeling for the air
A dim capacity for wings
Demeans the dress I wear

I hide within a shadowed niche,
safe from...

Oh, woeful heart!
Unhappy days upon blindness embarked.
Appealing visions bought life’s loathsome start.
True light laid victim to lusting sparked.
A wanting came, but in the dawning disappeared.
Too late for undoing, promises played the cheating game. 
Oh, woeful...

I squeeze in on the horse’s side,
spurring the mustang to a trot,
he makes his way on this trail ride,
up a hill to a sunny spot.

Three others are along with me,
two strangers and guide, the owner,

set me free
the world is full 
of troubles 
that don't exclude
mine either 
does it leaves
my soul at peace
I have been a victim
a victim of a troublesome
world 
where confusion is 
never new 
so in every of...

All the world is a stage

Shakespeare did not tell a lie


I play a game that is life

And mix and match for greater variety

I am full of multiplicity

An enigma I am even to me


Some say I’m...

It was the darkest night of the year, and the light was eclipsed but the haunting moon was so near. Lagging

As I sit down
Not knowing what to write,
Thoughts flitter through my head-
Nothing with much height.

Should I write a poem about a lonely girl?
Or someone newly freed?
How about something silly,
Rowdy men drunk over a tankard of...

What Goes Unseen

A gnome sits by the pantry,
Watching the in’s and out’s of wares,
Thinking how it all may be his.

Meanwhile, the sprites 
   take over the living-room, 
Misplacing  and mussing

That moment when you close your eyes,
Inhale, and emptiness prevails,
You can feel those butterflies flitter,
Wings batting rampant,
Wishing this eminent obligation away,
Maybe tuck it aside for another day,
Nerves tingling in riotous laughter,
Mind spinning engaged in confusion,
Dreams...

Some Advantages of Being Male

By Elton Camp

Benefits of masculinity I cannot deny
There are reasons to like being a guy
It’s assumed men deserve higher pay
And as a man, I really like it that way

We wear the...

Remind me of you

The rush of the wind as its tickling branches
A bluebird in song as the spring does arrive
Crickets abound with their vocal performance
It’s the music of nature that keeps us alive
