Long Floater Poems

"Sliders"

500 clicks down, was code phrase for battle ships gone all depth charge. The deeper you go down that black-holed sink, the more you understand in your oxygen deprived brain, that there is a lesson...

1. Ripples in warm sunbeams dwell.
From a sandy cocoon I wake and stir.
A floater in the blue does knell,
A dot, a stain, a blackened blur.
Am I the only one who sees?
No, the beach is afoot...

Was having gala time with friends in Niece's marriage function 
Spirited friends thought of having bhang* for fun of rarity 
Greedy of mild floater effect, scary of hangover, finally gave in for fun 
Toast raised...

My neighbor, Pete, is very frustrated
For two weeks he has been constipated
Then, in Poetry Soup
I heard him yell, "Whoop Whoop!"
His laxative had been activated!

He eats spicy food and lot of legumes
Where he shows up, a...

I. BISMUTH  [83]
rainbow-sheened cubist castles -- silver-pink of hue 

II. IODINE  [53]
gunmetal grey crystals sublime -- and billow purple 

III GALLIUM  [31]
metallic grey and stiff -- melting in a cordial clasp

IV. HELIUM...

Seahorses.
Who needs them?
Who wants them?
For what?
Really?

Seahorses look like the small letter q, inverted.
No other animals can do that backward tail curve,
Except the husky dogs.
These strange little sea urchins should have
Been named Bug-eyers.
Or Question floaters
Or ...

When mind doesn't know
Its own secrets – how can one
Swim the sea of life

The cotton candy clouds melted in my mouth
as I flew over the menacing tiger who was crouched
with his mouth open catching all my loose teeth
I flew away quickly not wanting to be within his reach,

Then...

A pretty flower solitary in an abandoned field of endless weeds
-unpicked by a weed lover, who is unfaithful.
A long zigzagging crack on a ruined wall
containing pockets of moss green moss,
glistening, and glossy
-harboring a colorblind emerald...

Me a zombie?
Never!
Just a viral doofus poseur,
Brainiac and hacker on the loose tapping into other genie lamps,
Wireless Stikbot floater skipping ID challenge.
Hurdles that authenticate saliva from a silicone palate.
Trojan horse webber getting kicks from pop...

Temperature climbing , beginning to soar,
Got to get cool, can't take any more.
Bought this pool for Fran, she can't swim,
She feels safe in the pool, not looking grim.
It 10ft across & 2ft 6"deep, wi filter...

They formed a posse and it was loaded

Three experienced  at tracking

And their guide

He was a one-legged kangaroo

No one dared to waltz with him

Even Matilda kept clear

The heat  was unbearable

Australia

And no one liked bank...

Sitting placed by Square Leg
pint of bitter in hand;
drifting across from Peasholme
music from the band.
This match is like a chess game,
each batter settled in
run rate slowly rising, one end
tied down with spin.
An edge of frustration

Is that a ghost? I think.
Catching a wisp of a traveling speck in my eye.
I turn and it is gone.
But back soon enough.
Finally see a doctor.
It’s a floater, he tells me.
You will get used to...

FOWL

a feathered flockin farm animal
just a bird
web footed floater who runs

 bird
common domestic rooster or hen 
maybe a turkey, I should duck
the meat of a domestic  used as food 

decontaminate, purge, 
disinfect, sanitize

Fresh and serene droplets rest in galore
As the dawn smiles on them to adore 
The tiny prettiness in spectral mode
Downs from out of the heavenly abode ;
In dainty drips and drizzles   the elixir
Enlivens...

I want a man just like Dad

So to find him let me start by saying 
He is one of a kind so it will be hard to find 
He worked on construction sites all my...

My eye produced a floater
And although it felt quite weird,
It wasn’t quite as dangerous
As I, at first, had feared.

The vitreous inside the eye
(A jelly-seeming goop)
Becomes, as we grow older,
Less like Jello, more like soup.

Then little...

I am the hunter, deep in the valley
I am the eagle, above the quarry
I am the dagger, into adversity
I am the shackle, around conformity

I am the keeper, of the heart’s content
I am the fighter, caught...

It was the furtive glances that drew me
I sat nonchalant about those who came
The crazy curves led me to the mighty
And purple sculpture of a tipsy flame

You responded with the turquoise ocean
I failed to feel...

my
myodesopsia
acts up when my eyeball moves in a certain
direction---
the floater throws a 
shadow on my retina & i
want to swat it away like an annoying fly,
but it sits there,
blocking out a wee bit of the...
