Long Grater Poems

My beaming spouse leads me, a dog on a short leash, into the forbidden citadel, the...

Sadly, my tea was weak, the bottle of cinnamon whiskey
tantalizingly low, and my feet swelling above...

Space Sonnets

Sonnet 1
      The Prometheus 
The engineer of the multiverse
Who constantly does traverse
Mending all the loose joints

Rules of universe enhanced
We fall short of its...

Here they come the prancing drums and fife
That call the children from their village life
To run with glee and meet with fear horsehead,
Whooping bway or devil costumed in dread
And there pitchy patchy dancing for his...

Someone that makes it easier to breathe
That inspires me to live
That's in tune with their inner child

I don’t need God,
I’ve got cable’
I don’t go to church,

As long as someone calls,
I am never alone.

I don’t need God,
I’ve got a roof...

Electoral mortification
The ego of one man
chaotically divided a nation.
Hypnotically humiliated 
and brought its people into dissolute hatred,
plucking each other limits.

puissant leaches stumping on others,
with...

Of the forest of grasses 
In the trails carved of rain

And the crease of crevasses 
that travail the passes to the

the mere act of saying “no”
when others put a gun to your head &
want nothing more than your unmitigated
acquiescence,
is a moment that builds up the skeleton inside
it stands up against all odds
it does not waver...

There once was a big alligator
It got out of an elevator 
A very loud yell
The voice rang a bell
His mate was on the travelator

His mate was a communicator
And said, ‘I said I’d see you later

If you have the time
There is a letter for you in the den.
