Long Jumbles Poems

On the edge 
of the evacuation zone
Miyuki holds her daughter 
tip-toeing in pink sneakers 
her small hands fragile 
blossoms opening
to the man with the beeping wand 

They were outside in the karesansui 
washing and raking...

A restricted freedom is not
a true freedom at all...
to allow the mind to think less;
keeping with wishes will not
endow you with the power
you pursue and without a good cheer
and a bit of fortune you seem...

The wind is blowing through my mind
Not gently breezing through.
It ruffles my thoughts and jumbles them
It will take time to file them anew
I like to file my thoughts in order
Of good ones and of bad
Its...

Maybe it's me
I just don't like the tempo
maybe it how I'm feeling
or is it just not
that simple
the harmony
put it in perspective
Maybe it's me
what's this songs
objective
try to be
have great intent
music dropping
crowd for concert
since
they want to sing
and...

Enjoy your techno-toys while you can;
As you frantically surf the internet
In a vain, pathetic attempt to "keep up"
With meaningless jumbles of jibber-jabber
Which you consider essential information.

All those gotta-have gadgets you crave
Like some new kind of...

At times He shouts to clear his throat, AHEM!
We are the phlegm. 

Puffs of dandelion dust, 
ignoring life, allowing hearts to rust.

Each day we rush upon ourselves, 
shelving more decisions, 
piercings and incisions, 
in the...

What good would it do to have everything
And you have nothing
You can never claim anything as your own
Because anything is owned by God
Your friends, your possessions, the people that you love
You don't have nothing
God determines...

Where does love go
after the thrill of hunting
through jumbles of resentment and 
thickets of fear

After whispered promises under
musical moons during nocturnal pilgrimages
nurturing teeny dreams

Where does love go
After the rites of 'I DO' 
and ostentatious feasting...

A boy lines up plastic soldiers 
In straight rows across his floor.
He knocks them down with callow ease
In a naive game of war.

Far across the deepest ocean,
In between rich, well-known places,
Little boys become those soldiers...

I have this secret
jotted down on a piece of paper
and crumpled up
inside my head
it is heavy for paper.
It's a distinct weight inside,
my secret.
Sometimes it unfolds making itself
too big to stay safe
inside my head.
It swirls just...

I was the hottest boot in Texas, Missouri, and Cheyenne.
I could dance the mumble jumbles off every other man.
My mate, my wife, my lover, was almost as sexy as me.
We could not be stopped once...

I dream dreams in rhymes and verses, 
A poet's blessing in curses, 
Vague images pop up in sleep, 
Words in jumbles assault me deep;

I dream dreams in rhythmic fragments, 
Thoughts quiver without enjambments, 
Prompts come...

A universe jumbles unfinished in the mind
picture upon picture
a laconic dimension of perception
where comprehension hides in brambles
and rubbish churns like a river
emptying into the soul
the murky and the luminous converge
forming an enclosure of concentration
where nothing...

I finished the Acrostic,
Every letter filled completely;
Though if you saw the page
It's not completed very neatly.

This puzzle from the Sunday Times
Is challenging and clever,
And quickly it becomes 
An all-encompassing endeavor.

Unlike crosswords, which I love,
Or word...
