Long Hot potato Poems

{intro}
You keep-you keep-you keep flying,
Though I’m honestly crying…...weeping…..sighing…..
Extra careful not to snip your heart strings
Tattoo your tune in my heart that pleasurably stings
Pain is what I need not to inflict myself with – just what...

we were taken again beyond the gates of katyn 
I'd begun to challenge morale feelings over a sudden 
stench bellowing from under the chartered tanks 
silence abroad Auschwitz my knees chattered 

while facing the cold...

Oh Happy Day

Financial crisis
the Dj's sold out to the man
oh happy day on the radio
collective karma is the God they believe in
while Mammon teaches his machines to use phones
bill collectors and spam salesmen are calling
voices...

Where did I come from mommy?

Walk always with your...

T.H.E.M. (The hellions employing mayhem)
Vs 
U.S. (Useful slaves)
It’s always the same 
The old tired game 
Of them vs us 
Each side making a fuss 
Playing tug of war 
Over the same 
Sad dollar 
“I need...

When I’m feeling undersized
Feeling something is out of commission
My hair on my arms start to boost
Bringing my goosebumps upon my skin

When water becomes gooseflesh
My goosebumps rise with no distress signal
My body starts to shiver
Like there’s...

My pen, as though wounded, bleeds,
Who on earth, its blood-flooding sound, heeds?
Tabula rasa papers turn pregnant,
Messages of peace-brim-filling excitement;
Midst clanging of shiny swords,
Who witnesses the wounded words?
Poetry is for lunatics, they say,
Might moves mountainous sway;
Blood...

You perforate my normality 
with snap-shots of the past. 
Images of yesteryear form 
a slide show which interjects, 
dove-tailing, sneaking in to 
the now with the stealth of 
the stealthiest fox. 

Distracted from the present...

In the bosom of platform,
There lay two peculiar lines;
Which used to be so fascinating?
In my lovely childhood.
But now the hot potato
Of my cherished heyday.

For I have heard now,
That these lines are parallel;
That they don’t intersect
And...

A DARKNESS HAS OVERSHADOWED ME WITH A SADNESS THAT IS 
OVERWHELMING.

NUMBING MY SPIRIT, FREEZING MY SOUL AND LEAVING ME COLD.

LONELINESS DROPPED ON ME LIKE A HOT POTATO.

SHAKING ME INTO ISOLATION.

MY HEART IS SHATTERED AND MY...

White potato, Sweet potato, Hot potato, Irish.
White, sweet, hot, and Irish..
Spuds for all occasions.

We fry'em.We slice'em.We dice'em.We bake'em.
We mash'em.We hash'em.We whip'em, then dip'em.
I like'em next to my hamburger.French fried.

If you're hungry girl? Just give me...

A Real Gender Bender



I drove on down to the grocery store
to buy myself some meat
milk and eggs and veggies
And variety of treats

When I pulled into the parking space
She was pulling out
I quickly rolled my window...

Its late night 
Early morning 
And I can't Sleep
But matter falls 
In a whole heap 
No longer do I ask "why?"
Turn over or try
Wish upon a time 
I could dream upon a lie 
Drown my...

We have a brand new fire pit.
The ring is four feet wide.
Perfect for a Fall evening!

Cast iron and two feet high,
a present for hosting warmth.
Perfect for family and friends!

We have deadfall from the storms

I was riding my bike along a country road,
When I saw a big turtle carrying a strange load.
I got off my bike, then the turtle came to a complete stop.
He was protecting his shiny prize...

Then...
Born amongst confusion
Orphaned
Left behind
Lost the ones I love
Life was a hot potato
No family
Imagination was my only true friend
In the sky
Crashed in a new land
Unknown
Scared
New faces
Made friends
Lost friends
Found love in music
Found love in writing
Found where my...

to me nothing new
who you have been never knew
crowd up who you drew

they were in NATO
seemed to be hot potato
also SEATO

then when at table
attach dishes when able
to remain stable

always polluting
had been beleaguered Putin
breeze away shooting
