Long Flyswatter Poems

Into The Heart Of A Soulless Existence

Damn these flies! 
There must be a half dozen of them 
Buzzing around my tiny room here, 
Buzzing and humming spasmodically, 
Like tongue-less eunuchs 
In a locked church full...

There once was a little girl who played in walk in closets
She'd shut the door to the world outside because her mom
was neurotic and psychotic
And her step dad was a raging alcoholic
This tiny space was...

Flamboyant swashes; flaming crimson,
could be my face, as the flyswatter-hand
could impress such lettering upon my cheek.
so I
severed the crescent-angel of my imagination,
dashed my dreamy cursive, expunged the end;
held my breath as I curtailed the honey-alphabet.
Nun...

Disrupting the general flow of the ruby blaze,
As ghosts, there are shadows in the haze.
Air-filled skeletons, bone-filled skull,
Sneaking in the shadows, stained by the dull.

Alluding to cruel as zesty and delicate as sour,
Lying expertise of...

here we are
in bed sick together
all feeling bad because i gave this bug to you with no flyswatter
we both call in....thanking God it's Friday
we cough....we hack....we sneeze....we watch old cartoons
inevitably, we remember that there is...

Their bridled haunt, each day may be their last; yeehaw.*
The narrow way, down mountainside, and clop of shoes.
The saddlebags dip left and right in gait and gnaw.
The spirit wind and pouring rain their hoofs refuse.

They bring me gifts. Leaves, acorns, a flyswatter, mud off their shoes.
With big smiles and a happy attitude, they bring me gifts daily.
Yes, I am talking about the kindergarten students, the happy five’s.
And occasional sixes,...

sitting in front of the toilet throwing up
everything is spinning 
everything is throbbing

come here quickly said my sister
her voice was two swishes above a whisper
see that fly up there on the east bedroom wall?
he showed me his butt, and it was not small.

I laughed at this craziness,...

Lazy Summer Day

Just another lazy summer day
In my hammock snoozing away.
A horde of nasty flies 
Decide to stop by. 
On my toes they want to play 
Shoo flies, just go away!

Now they're buzzing in my...

my sigh of relief is 
my flyswatter of release
i wrap my left hand tightly 
around the handle and kill
all that blocks my forward
view

my sigh of relief is
my extravagant 
exhalation period

Summer is a cricket's chirp,
the croak of a bullfrog's burp
and a sweet nightingale's twirp.

A season beyond compare,
when wildlife thrives everywhere
and flowers perfume the air.

The whoosh of a flyswatter,
swimming in pools of water
and warm days getting...

When he lies
It is because his punishments have been so severe, that he knows 
He saves himself from the
Flyswatter,
The belt,
The whip,
The chain, 
The out-of-control anger
Disapproval, disappointment, 
And wrath
By lying.

When he steals it is
When he is...
