Long Goofing Poems

(Inveniam viam)

Far beyond these eerie things, where limits have no scales
Fish are replacing gills, with turbine aerated tails 
Sea level’s losing all meaning, for the humpback whales 
Ships piggyback them, harpoons syphon wind from their...

It was her kitchen, her family, and my newly-married man, and I aimed to please her by properly being fed. 
With a smile and a swish, “We have butterscotch pudding pie for dessert!” My brand...

Can’t believe how many years together. 
As a couple the ups & downs we weather. 
As husband and wife over the past six. 
Loyally accepting flaws we cannot fix. 

I’m not going to sugarcoat how...

It's been so long since I last walked in the rain,
The last I remember was when I was back in high school,
Getting off the school bus, goofing around with friends,
And purposely leaving the umbrella inside...

The tip of a finger, barely touching ulcerated skin
   Chamfered ache of reason, or finely balanced whim
  Forced through a reality, where spoons become bent
  Into the pleasure dome, they inject...

Inside of our embryonic bubble, 
immune from outsiders trouble 
Blissfully detached, so unaware 
without any single, worldly care
Permanent ecstatic, numb state 
contented, equilibrious, sedate 

Seemingly impossible, extreme 
I can barely, realize in a dream 
Perhaps...

Dog Gone , Bone Search

Seeking, this yard, looking for a bone
not a cool drink, just not for me
A bone, a bone, master still on the phone
but, there, there is my favorite tree!

Sweet release, now back...

Arrogance fostered by entitlement
Bigotry in all its forms
Conceit beyond all reasonable norms
Demanding attitude of deferment.
Entitlement, did I mention this?
Forgetting an appointment, indeed
Goofing off on an hourly-wage job
Hearing a disapproving sarcastic hiss.
Intelligence wasted in a trivial...

We have come to a cross roads in this country,
where some folks truly believe
they don't have to listen to a Zebra,
Minorities get no respect in America!
Citizens are sinking to an all time low,
because they have...

Devoid of old qualms and ruing sigh
Wing your arc for purer stratum high,
Past's mortal morsels I urge forsake
For dainty victuals sage angels take. 

As mighty Retribution's brooms sweep
Away avarices that now huddled weep,
Your best plume...

Some perhaps more fortunate poets will 
With greater ease urge their heeding quill,
To tell in switching tones many juicy tales,
Of love-aided treks and shipwrecked sails. 

Not so for this goofing lyricist whose 
Heart-felt lays Muse...

They’re sweaty and they’re soupy
Outrageous, and moody
They’re all together fruity
The Phantoms family
Their house is a soup bowl
Where people come to condole
They really are a hell hole
The Phantoms family
Stale
Impale
For sale
So get your table ready
With a soup...

I know that we have had tough times
as most moms and daughters do
the arguing , fighting and silent treament
well you know what we have been through
But we also have had many great times
cuddling ,laughing and...

Mama bear pins up clothes on the line.
April day is wonderful, breeze is so fine.
Grandma is in the kitchen, tasting vinegar wine.
Children and husband are waiting to dine.

Little brother is doing a chicken dance goofing...

The night before the next surgery,
Playing games in the hotel room.
Laughs and giggles all around.
Tomorrow forgotten for now.
Getting your mind off of things,
You are sitting there laughing,
Carrying on. Tomorrow will be different
No goofing off. No...

Sam had cleared his debt, when Death came calling
So, his funeral no barrier stalling.
Sam's interment is as good as the held:
Twenty-one gun salute; trees shall be felled!

I see Sam laughing, on the ground falling,
Sam as...

Don't dare joke with their doctrine
Nor raise it in a latrine
Like had tried Goofing Kathrine 
Now melted like margarine!
Their Doctrine not in  bathrooms:
Bathtubs never living rooms;
Their camera can scenes zoom,
As one body choose your...
