Long Jigger Poems

A young woman from Glascow named Myrtle 
was as strong as the shell of a turtle.
Once, when an intruder snuck in,
she bare knuckled his glassy chin, 
then floored him with her iron girdle.
I asked this...

Dot Blogs she was a buxom lass and hefty heifer too
who married Bobby Eugene Blows when she was twenty- two.
They lived upon a dairy farm alongside Boggy Creek
and milked  a hundred fresian cows …...

The drunken pen dips and swerves around curves on paper. Paper for the purpose of writing things—thoughts a pen brings. My cursive swings, wild and loopy. Oops! Too loopy. Took that curve too fast, ran...

Rebellion at The Cause


I’m running on a heat wave
Dancing with angels on a pin head
Slapped on a pallet
Of curious colours

Uses me in mad artistic brush strokes

Tripping on a ballet
Like a fire crackers splash
Shimmying on dangerous...

On the offshore of Atlantic ocean, - On the offshore of Atlantic ocean,
Walking on the bridge of hurricane,Intensifying force of wind hit my soul.
Empty streets with no one around,Paving away the roads of silly love.

in the small moments of a sleepless night
not even midnight seems contrite
the clock's contrition for me is denied
when a new day is  birthed yet sleep is defied

the clock speaks too loudly for sleep to...

What turned my head to think I had a thread,
Folk thought I was lazy so I did something crazy.
Adventure was there, but afraid there'd be scare,

refreshment after a day of grinding labor
respite from the heat

so I peeled and chopped some fresh words
squeezed a cup of tangy words
an eggshell full of frothy words
a sugar cube...

in our temperate dimension
brimfull of flesh humour
life's grand arena
we're all made
champions of Nod
with laurel wreaths of
hot wire and gristle,
with gilded medallions hung
on faded ribbon,
bent when bitten,
signifying nothing,
echoing hollow cries
of fickle crowds that don't give a...

Mother asked her big brother to pass the sugar;

big brother ruined it by splashing on liquor;

father rued spilt liquor by throwing his jigger

that hit sister who lit an elbow hard slammer

straight into the hand of...

Everything's Big In Texas

I'd like to saddle up my horse...
Lope on down to Texas. 
Pack my Peacemaker, (Colt of course)...
Oh! My solar plexus!

Buildings, barns, boots, buckles,...

buy jewels more than an ounce,

Cleopatra, The-Deo-Swagger

I swagger on up, up onto the top,

yet it wasn't my style, being Queen of the Nile,

they saw me a leader, who filled up their jigger,

for the praises they sound, I need to keep...

liquor
crushed ice
an effervescent tonic
an engaging libation

a crystal glass an empty mass
a looking glass an engaging lass
a reflection fills the flask
an hourglass figure smooth as glass

a view deep
a deep view

a hot and hard jigger 
an episodic...
