Long Haikus Poems

(based on Aldous Huxley's book "Brave New World")

Human hatchery

Clink clink clink clink...
Test tubes prattling past
along the chrome plated production line.
Glistening under fake fluorescence
humming in harmony
with the magnetic motors
of conveyors, centrifuges and camshafts.
Biological blobs of gamete...

2017 - year zero

They loaned to the poor, who cannot repay.
They stole from the old, who cannot recover.
They sold our future, for better or worse
and made our children pay.
They schooled arithmetic to be feared.
They tutored...

1. Lunar Perspective #1

month long day and night
also sees earth wax and wane
no season penchant


2. Lunar Perspective #2

moon's sun mimics earth's
earth pirouettes on star stage
sun’s smile Cheshire Cat

Aurora wakes at 6:30 a.m.—
not to birdsong,
but to the wail of toddlers
and the ache in her knees
from sleeping on the side
that keeps her back from seizing.

Belle flips waffles in a castle-shaped toaster
bought on clearance,
while her...

An oval shape—a ghostly pane,
A frame of whispers, soft refrain.
It hung in quiet, out of view,
Where silence slept and shadows grew.

I glimpsed “the oval window, a portal to another dimension,”
A whispered truth beyond convention.

Glass like...

-FIGHTING-
Greek epic poem.
Transcending for permanence.
Battle warrior
No longer around.
Life became complicated.
You are number one.
Life will greatly change.
Think about you all the time.
Never let you go.
Innocence deprived.
Staying positive and strong.
Failed exerting control.
Society danger.
Protective order consent.
Tough situation.
Seems no...

From chaos to cosmos
From cosmos to Barbados
From Barbados to Cricket


Fifty odd years

An original me?


If you know
The fundamental difference
Between 1 and 2

First comes the moon
Second comes the yellow
Last come the clouds and bats

No dear
Make the date for the tea
Friday at three
For the moon will be
At the windows
At the wee hours
And it will be the full moons
We will pick up as much as we choose
With the scarlet spoon

I am a poet,
A poet in Love!
I see the whole of the universe
spun in a ball
and rolled through the mirror of deception.
The mirror cracks with violent shattering
pieces everywhere, but soon a calm silence, for a...

Dear angel of mine; my dearest heart's desire; lover dearest
an opening for a different someone
for the name in my heart
is different from the picture my dreams present
I long for it to be you at least...

I wrote a great book, part memoir, part novel
Shopped it around, I ain’t too proud to grovel
Got kicked upstairs to a big publishing head
He invited me in, and here's what was said:

Jack Ellison wasn't from Nantucket
I read prose that his cleaning lady had a nice bucket
But he vowed to look in silence quite as a mouse
For fear of sleeping in the perpetual doghouse

PD, appears and disappears...

Dawn comes swiftly
Eyes shocked awake;
Sunlight dazzles


Weary body
Sleep does not come;
Rest fatigue hijacks


Another day dawns
Celebrate now;
Tomorrow looks vague


Overtime work
Pulse of earthly stuff;
Promises to keep


Old friend calls
Buzz of change;
Friendly reminder


Family reunion
Marriage festival;
Customary rites


Good earth moments
Vivid affairs rush;
Keep...

Pandemic pessimism 

There is no such thing as society.
Forgo forgiving, forget free lunch,
Just plates of debt and toxic punch.
First come first served, no us, just me
Seeking survival in celebrity.
Self serving, Kentucky Fried Credit Crunch.
My savings...

Tonight t'was the stars
I'll cascade a memorizing moon
Glimmering sanctified silence 
along with 
trickling twilight for 
iconoclast ink, 
the serpentine key to 
sacred myrrh melodies
of my heirloom heart~
O glamorous specs of
citrine care to each
unravelling...

Sorry my poetry is not that complex
 Using metaphorical phrases intended to perplex.
 Excuse my poetry for being too emotional
 And sometimes made to be highly sexual.
 My bad my poetry can be quite depressing.

Rainy weather
Unpredictable;
Drenching everything

Mother and child
Dance with drizzle;
Laughter and giggles

Happy lives here
In my house;
A welcome guest

Chinese ghost festival
Lunar seventh month;
Wandering spirits tour

Prayers and offerings
For dead ancestors;
Win-win situation

So much happening;
May lasting peace abide

Gaza strip conflict
Nobody wins;
