Premium Member You Cant Judge a Book By Its Cover

("Eye of God", 2018, original encaustic)

You Can't Judge a Book By Its Cover

You can’t judge a book by its cover
Or then again maybe you can
Covers show us what the authors want us to see
And there is plenty to judge in that
But it may not be what the author wants us to think
Once open though
All bets are off
As the author’s own words
And not just image
Are exposed for us to taste, test and judge
And yet still in our judgment
What are we really seeing?

Speaking from experience
I can say there are many
Who have seen me, my art and poems
And think I’m cool
And then….
After a bit of conversation
Walk away
Thinking, Jeez, what a racist, sexist, fascist pig.

If you need to see the face 
Of all you judge and fear
Just look in the mirror.

Premium Member Flown and Gone in Gentle Grace

                       I
  “What in carnation is this?”
A voice I hear in my sleep of dreams
  and ghosts in the fog my only peace.
Early mornin’ frost chills and the rains
of discontent neither cleanse nor cease
                      II
   I hear “Caramba Chico!”
This room, it reminds me so of you.
  See the picture portrait, your silky hair,
your canvas brush stroke, your books
upon your shelf, your lonely empty chair
                      III
   So it was in older days
a dry Penfolds filled your sherry glass,
  and you of me did ask “is the table set?”.
Pelau or maybe ham ‘n hops to thankful fill
but you say “boy, tonight is macafouchette”
                       IV
  “Christopher Columbus!”
You loved among the flowers to tread,
  and so happily arrange the ones you took.
Sip sparklin’ shandy and light a cigarette,
write a letter home, read a paperback book 
                        V
  “Jeez-an-ages! For true?”
Into wet clay buried burden and pain
  in the garage pedallin' the potter’s wheel.
Alone in your spinnin’ dreams, dear mother,
I remember how contented it made you feel
                        VI
   And as the hour grew late
I would camp upon your bed a while.
  Lay beside you - feel your warm breath,
and watch you read but “Aye Caramba”
nigh was your own tale of fear and death
                        VII
  “Murderation! Is that so?”
Keeper, but not mine to keep for there
  was end of time but no end of sorrows.
Healer, but not ours to heal - now all we
have are yesterdays and no tomorrows
                        VIII
  “Jumping Jehoshaphat!”
Out of the land of the isle of Trinidad
  landed crates of tins and jars from home.
But your cup was filled by joy and life
and for a brief short time filled my own
                         IX
   Oh, how the music played,
closer and louder the beating drums -
  Calypso Rose the Calypso Queen to be.
When we at Carnival danced but the music
died and now I long for its sweet melody
                         X
 “Chuts!” Not hug, not kiss,
not gaze passed between us ever again
  but your spirit guide my broken wings chase.
Now I listen for the soul of a hummingbird
on the wind flown and gone in gentle grace

Things To Do When You'Re Bored

Achieve greatness by running a race.
Break sound barriers- just go to outer space!

Climb a mountain to get a good workout.
Deliver a speech- you'll probably have to shout...

Earn some money by helping clean up.
Film a video where you put on makeup.

Graduate college, online, of course!!!
Hire for the future; build a great workforce!

Improvise a sketch and perform it for all.
Just watch a sad movie, and prepare to bawl.

Kidnap an animal, then keep it for yourself...
Laminate bookmarks and organize your bookshelf!

Make some yummy cookies, brownies, or a cake.
Nestle in; watch a show where all they do is bake.

Optimize your storage; start with the dresser...
Poke around a bit to find some hidden treasure!

Qualify for a job, or just peek at the website...
Read some poems; mine are sure to excite!!!

Sleep all day, then pull an all-nighter.
Take some time to become a songwriter!

Unfold some origami, and then fold it back again.
Vandalize something, if you can't, just plan when...

Wander around, and pretend you're mist.
X-out something on your bucket list.

Yammer on about your favorite subject.
Zip your zipper obsessively- jeez... are you occupied yet????
fun

Sacrosanct Divisions

She made the sign of the cross as she passed the park by the cathedral,
His Baptist legs stopped dead on its tracks killing his amorous rush,
His ‘whatever voice’ said, “choose your churchified kind”
The Presbyterian friend raised an eyebrow like his grandma does,
And reclined into congregational mode humming “Amazing Grace”
Then she looked up and saw the third pal muttering unknown tongues,
Clutching her rosary, wide eyed she rushed her ‘the more the better ‘Hail Marys’ ’
Last night she recalled Mr. Miracle on TV, arms reaching, asking, to dig deep –
Eyes, eye to eye with the camera: ‘give, give and you’ll get returns, big time!’
And then her walls came down, her catholic spirit cold as a smokeless altar –
Then she saw walls come up, like sacrosanct divisions, typifying God.
What about love? Humph! What’s love got to do with it? Jeez!

Pooping Like A Proper Italian this is for Jan



I poop every morning after a Pizzelle slathered in Nutella 
it is nine am in Italy and not a good time to eat mortadella 

I poop after lunch after eating pizza with spicy pepperoni
it is twelve o'clock and way too early to eat my macaroni

I poop in the evening after my pasta al forno with cheese 
its much too early for my salami sandwich, " Jeez Louise!" 

I poop before bed and I let out a great Ah Ah, Mama Mia 
as the neighbors yell out the window keep it down " Maria! " 

Of course I poop like a proper Italian and here's the squeeze,  
when we use the Latrina we fan ourselves to get a tiny breeze!

Lovable Robot

Helpful Luca always has my best interest in mind
Upon arriving home, her eyes quickly blink three times 
while she guages my mood
Her greeting exceedingly polite 

Accordingly celebrating, commiserating, sitting
Siliconey arms casually yet awkwardly snake
my back while we stream shows, her laughter
Spurred before mine -  bot not missing a beat!

Her complex woven circuitry shoulders leaned
firmly against me, replicating my body language
Remaining stiff, a bit stand offish
until I'd finished my third beer

"Colt I missed you today,"  her whirring neck barely audible 
turning to me with disastrously pool dark eyes 
Her nimble tickled pink shell fingernailded hands
went one to the back of my nack, one to inner thigh

"Jeez, I mistcha, Lewks," my reply delayed on exhale
Almost as reflex as a human smile, 
her face reads complete dedication 
Chocolatey melty eyes arched in peachy supple cheeks

Rythemically slow motion pulputations of my thighs 
combined with her traced hand down her chest, unbutton 
her stretchy top, taut across bold shark nose shaped chest
Slight drop as she opens her cotton front latch bra 

She knows I'm engrossed
Pronounced nubs poke my chest as she climbs on top
My lap, belt buckle she deftly unlatched already
I can't thank the engineers for her series enough

Provoking paddle stroke tongue easily enters my mouth
Traces and chases, moisture released from her adept organ
Hands clutch her lustrous hair, cascades not falling out
My tonge becomes numb as she sucks intently

Luca is lewd when she needs to be
Divinely a lady when we're not engaged
There's absolutely no way I could get involved 
with a contankerous, unpleasant butt human ever

Premium Member I know -- these days, Muse poems are totally cliche

I'm sick and tired of the so-called muses,
especially the one who always chooses
to make it clear that I don't work hard enough,
yet, when I ask for a little help with my stuff,
she's always the first one who flatly refuses.

My muse yelled, "Stop! That's prohibited."
I said, "What?"
"The behavior you just exhibited."
I said, "What did I do?"
She said, "You took some lines that didn't belong to you."
I said, "Jeez! Instead of helping me, you're making me feel totally inhibited."

Someone asked, "Could you write without a muse?"
I said, "Probably could, but I'd refuse.
Why? Because a muse is so good at showing
what to tell the audience and what to keep it from knowing
so that you can keep right on going with your wild-ass ruse."

I was having a hell of a time
with a poem that shouldn’t ever have been mine.
The muse had made a big mistake
by giving me lines that shoulda gone to this poet named Blake,
of which I could make neither reason nor rhyme.

Dancing Dreamers Dang Range Thing Winging I.T.

It is a teamwork type of thing- 
Ringing the bell so well 
The next mashup of a maxed out bashing of an over flowing cup of mountain water upstream- 
Kings the next castling on the other side of the ring
Ding-ding
Back for more “bling, bling!”  
Onion rings on the side, pretty please!  
Watch how my truck sings as it revs up after a mental rental goes caching ching
Just saying...
Lying, laying, slaying & spraying-
Weighed in like Jayda- WILL SMITH I "lit" my cig-
was fuzzy wuzzy big?  
Failed Trigonometry
Sold Origami
My salami
Is like " Salam Aleiki"  
Hate me please
It could be a breeze
I am NOT on my knees 
Please
Jeez!  
Go TX!

Just Be

Why can I not just be
Be at ease with being me
Ease myself into an easy flow 
Jeez, is that part of me a flaw
My bloom is way past its glow
All motion now rendered slow 
Mixed emotions bout to blow
And my mood doomed to waffle 
I'm fearful life is foredoomed to be awful 
Maybe its best to cut loose the old self
Set my aura aside to rest on a shelf 
Shake loose my cells till they unform
to dally around freely without form 
So I can be as one with the norm
Let all fear step back now with a bow
As I take a chance to step up and wow
It's about time I cease being reactive 
Seize the day, vibrate on positive 
And still strive to be progressive 
Even while I live in active procrastination 
Remaining passive in my participation 
I wait till I receive a valid sign of progress 
It's since proved to be a very useful process 
That filters my mind of excess stress 
It lightens my thoughts so they run clear and free 
Freed my guilt and shame too, I did see them flee 
Now I intend to be a lot more cautious 
I can't keep up with feeling overly anxious 
Not over a few missed milestones 
My neck won't tote any hefty millstones 
If I do concede to this new slow pace
Will I find a space to fit in, in this place 
So as to face my inner self in peace 
Maybe then I can at last just be
Finally at ease with being me
