Long Iceman Poems

Ah, the glorious damned winter
and the inviting  
gray chill in the air.
I meander 
ever 
so
slowly 
past lawns
strewn 
with a cluttered array
of pagan snow zombies -
staring blankly,
as I obliterate pint-sized
snow angels 
failing to don halos
that...

Inviting me to pause and reminisce about a time gone by.
'Twas an old oaken icebox standing there on display.
That ancient relic served as the family refrigerator...

He is a porcupine 
Armed with lethal quills 
You massage his butts 
Butts from which comes atomic bomb

Apparently a terrorist attack

He is a wild domestic bird 
With a spiky...

The pain that young man felt was very close
to what hell would be like. Richard watched

 his life over and over again. Richard

Rondel Pain

Poetry can inflict pain like a sharp rondel dagger, 
Encircling each word with bigoted judgments on hand. 
Down a spiral staircase a poet’s thoughts may stagger. 
Semi-circular fashioned, ideas traverse memories’ span.  ...

Stranger things beacon
 these young teen agers
when a bald-headed

A bug trapped in amber. 
Fossil flowers in a stone. 
Sabre tooth caught in tar.
Iceman asleep in a glacier.
Nature doesn't care!

Nature makes no judgements, 
cares not who you are, 
drops you in your tracks!

Your Touch Is Like …

… Fire and Ice Combined
Or Feeling Raindrops, for First Time
Or Like, Swaying, Tropic-Jungle-Vines

Or Like, Ivy … Upon A Trellis-Climb
Or Like, Sunflowers, Reaching Sunshine
Or Like, Geniuses, Meeting...

Though we all were taken by his helpful and happy smile,

said he came from a creature that seem so  cold  and vile,

Something about this fellow that made me look away,

Whose smile and behavior are more devilish than Tom Cruise’s?
Naturally cast to play Maverick, daringly bending the rules.
Putting himself and his bestie Goose in danger, over and over.

Empty old man embedded in his chair
Locked in his years and trapped in ancient pain
Silent, cold and purposely unaware.

That velvet chair - his prison, his domain,
Had swallowed up his life, his heart, his mind.
A silent...

For years she thought his heart would warm up,
and open the door for her world.  It felt like walking
in summer clothes in the north pole,
whenever she touched his chest;
she couldn't sigh, breathe or move.
