Long Frizzed Poems

Come join the unraveling circus
quite soon to be passing our way,
with the clowns in a clamor to twerk us -
line up as they lead us astray!

Arriving, the elephant trumpets
agendas of aberrant acts
while the donkeys drool,...

Just like cleaning the kitchen floor,
The school convention was such a bore
Dire Straits flyers preoccupied the walls,
As pompous cheerleaders strutted the halls
Rosie Garcia such pretentious feign,
Was once a friend but never again
An island girl who...

POLAR BEAR

BURR! AHH frozen, frizzed sharp cold air;
Perfect climate for the polar, polar bear;
O' pure white bear;
No one cares;
Now you're vulnerable;
To all mankind, tho!
O' great polar bear;
With your thicken, massive amount of white fur;

So chilling that Halloween’s 
Gross...

from deep within the South;
It raises the hair of millions for miles;
Tempers rise and just continue to climb 
brushes try as styles explode mid motion;
Nothing can stop the impending...

And have nails as red as hell and 
Be all frizzed and unkempt.
I shall look plain with a plain face and
My tennis shoes will travel me far and fast.
My eyes will...

You’ve heard it said a dog’s mug 
often resembles his or her owner’s? 
I for one have no reason to doubt it.
Why, just the other day while walking
my dog, I passed a lady of fine...

I was once so fond
Of the gray-streaked
Locks cascading
Down her frail back,
Growing so long
In her dying days.

I visited her every day
In the hospital.
The sterile background,
White linen,
And dingy food tray,
Dietary supplements
And nurses’ reminders.

After school,
I braided her hair,
Fingertips...

I met a girl who was like free
verse. Nothing good to see - 
Hair frizzed up static; couldn't be
worse. Sung worser than a turkey
but her goodness nearly made me
burst.

I met a girl who was like...
