Long Huffy Poems

Jinxed jesting jejune junior jobber...
just jabbering gibberish (A - J)

Again, another awkward ambitious
arduous attempt at alphabetically
arranging atrociously ambiguously
absolutely asinine avoidable alliteration.

Because...? Basically bonafide belching,

bloviated boilerplate bildungsroman,
boasting...

Haven't seen 'Day of The Trifids' in...

Why can’t you hold your fork in the other hand?
And bang your spoon on...

Masters of Trickery

alien ornithopters filled with pilgrims
gliding in under a full moon
foul smelling unwashed bumbling
hubcap jockeys from artless galaxies
firing bursts of compressed methane
in wanton hypnotic quantities
ended civilization as we know it
the survivors reel in stupor

Charlie’s got an old bar outside of town.
It’s pretty seedy and plenty run down.
Characters who don’t lightly suffer fools
go there to drink whisky and to shoot pool.

Some huffy stuffy ladies from up-town
decided one day they’d...

We are besieged in our garden
By a calculating Cat
Who’s decided we’re its Humans
And that’s the end of that.
It’s there every morning
Sitting in our Patio chair
And when we go to bed
It’s still sitting there.

gewgaw gazing guy, geographically germane,
gungho, grave gremlin, grumbling, guiding,
guaranteeing, guerilla gripped...

We grasp pure air and feel the hills fully
We find joy walking to our desired place

By gazing, we might parse where fine sprouts face
We watch strange birds rippling...

Everyday
It could go one of many ways
During any age
Funny how people have plenty to say
Yet over money, it can be a deadly game


What is the root of all evil?
Did it have to do with a...

Unsmiling gray wisp fingers drift and bore 
A helical ridge around the vast sky; 
Down abutting poignant horizon floor. 
Alga blooms a huffy infectious cry. 

A tree hollow bears nestling hanging high.
Lively songbird-swallows touched by...

My imagination was not amused by my muse
Had I thought they were the same thing?
If so I was sorely mistaken

My imagination was tired of her taking all the credit
For every line, every rhyme, every word...

His stories are out-of-this-world, the teacher says, in a huffy way.
Steven King, I think.

Your face is getting red and puffy
While your attitude is huffy

Atop them the dominating Katy would climb
