Long Ill tempered Poems

I’m stronger than I realize,
I’m not alone
And I’m not a failure

I am focused on the prize -
God’s Kingdom today, though I’m on my own
Feeling like a Jailure

I was brave enough
Life can be quite rough
I was...

Find your way
from brain stemmed
seed tree infancy
of glorious humanity
history

Find your way
From correct diverse limbic resolutions
back to shared soul temporal-health 
co-acclimating diverse struggling issues,
nutritionally resilient production
and root to branch to reroute transportation
and lack of wealth concentrating...

What clears the thoughts of grief? 
Will it ever release me out if this confounded chamber of no relief?

With a sour taste of pride,
Your castle has been watered down
Will I ever find myself a thrilling bride?

The Labradoodle

It’s clear that the scamp is a Poodle
By its frolicsome dabble and doodle
But add a big part
Of the Labrador’s heart
And you’ve got the whole kit and caboodle

Heal the sorrow, uproot the sad willow 
Make it happy
There's another tomorrow to borrow
To set you free 

Burn away the icy ickiness inside me
Churn away the sea of distress that I see
Brew away the sensation...

I’ve come back to the place where I had grown,
a place no more as it once was known.
Not a roof, not a room, not one wall left,
just an old, weathered chimney standing alone.

An ill-tempered wind...

when i grow up, i wanna be a pickpocket
more respectable perhaps than a hypocrite
to tell the truth i really don't want to remit
yet it seems kinda unkind, to just be opposite

so i'll say to you...

Longing
Illuminated
Shame just came
Tension
Empty
Negotiating with...positivity

Lamenting
Imagination soars
Sheltered by shimmering shamelessness
Tranquility
Elegant
Nothing matters...happily

Lively as heavens
Ill-tempered and living a imperfect illusion
Shedding tears...fears...wanting cheers...
Tormented by silence
Empty as a drum
Never-ending nostalgia is next in line

Love
Is
Super
Terrific
Enjoy
Neverending utopia

Listen...you must listen
I
Sincerely,
Together,
Encourage you to be
Nice

Leave...me...alone
I
Swim
Tribulation after...

Iron and steel
are the revered objects of their
quasi-holy zeal 
Earthly things fashioned from
corrupt flesh
Faithlessly forged by corrosive will — 
The profit mold of imperfection
was a raw mass subjugation ordeal
Their Farsi prayer slag,
(reprobate words poured in...

Homes broken, futures stolen
Lives shattered
Children, men and women forsaken
Beauties and cuties battered 

Family members scattered
Matrimonial vows broken
Values down watered
Untruths spoken

Wedding and kitchen party celebrations forgotten
Tempers raised, minds crazed
Intransigence and insolence gotten
Sorrows grazed, sanity and sobriety...

Just quit nagging ‘bout my time in the loo
Or I’ll deck you with that weird platform shoe

Yes, I like to read there, it’s the only quiet place
And the “scenery” is better than that look upon...

Poured a wee dram for my friend Farmer Fred.
He just kept on shaking his head.
What’s with the head I inquired of Fred?

Smeared Sign

Snakes’ slivering skins smothered in slimy oil of temptation

Immersed inundated intrigued of intricate ill tempered shine

Go forth and multiply your ferocious frolicking fortune

No - Neverland promiscuous parody peruses the pear’s peril

Witches who snitch were caught slipping eye-of-newt
Into sandwiches of dog es but at first it did not compute.
What kind of a Halloween party is this? Does it have a pedigree?

The Hidden 

In an old cigar box I have old black & white photos, 
nearing Christmas I sometimes take them out- one
can say I give them an airing and let them see my

In Halloween week once the days have turned dark
He lurks where the lamplight cannot leave it’s mark
And late night dog walkers whose dogs do not bark
All steer a wide path as he harvests the park

Over this limpid lagoon, without a church's dome,
no ill-tempered wind coming from the stormy East
can stir up huge waves, it can only scatter mist;
here birds thrive, they call this place their home.

The esurient wrens search...

Ill-tempered Elfin Queen, would bully
and demean everyone she'd see

She had to force her head in a sack

Narcissists roam restlessly
in a strange and weird world; 
they think they can control their mind
and own them without a bit of mercy!

Anyone with keen observation is not vowed

Welcome
