Long Junket Poems

Jinxed jesting jejune junior jobber...
just jabbering gibberish (A - J)

Again, another awkward ambitious
arduous attempt at alphabetically
arranging atrociously ambiguously
absolutely asinine avoidable alliteration.

Because...? Basically bonafide belching,
bobbing, bumbling, bohemian beastie boy,
bereft bummer, bleeds blasé blues, begetting
bloviated boilerplate bildungsroman,
boasting...

There was a time 
In the not distant past
When farmers would sell their wares
Of fruits and vegetables they had planted
To feed the town folks, and balance a budget
In exchange, for clothes, sundries and junket
For the...

Mine gerund farming, tilling, and harvesting illogical weltanschauung

Twas accursed destiny
since birth (maybe coded in
deoxyribonucleic acid  
since time immemorial) alas and alack
nascent emasculation abominable barrack
emergent deus ex machina,
one common Joe biden his time
for no particular
rhyme...

Formidable flourishing fiends...

harangue since landing 
yours truly immersed 
in a dream-like 
fiercesome state of war,  
not quite a dream 
can be described 
as a "hypnagogic state" 
while virtually in Singapore,

where Katy Perry 
namesake of...

Perdition Be Damned!

Body electric zapped
lower gastrointestinal tract
wracked with wretchedness
pitted, rocked, and tortured
severe muscle spasms cramp
deathly hallowed deliverance

beseech divine creator to exorcise relief
any panacea trumpeted vetoed
pestilential nausea diarrhea
wreaks relentless havoc
horrid ordeal twists insides
lack strength to live

Sitting 'neath an apple tree
In Edmond, Oklahoma
Thinking of the days gone by
And drinking my Corona

Body beat all black and blue
I've had less ups than I've downs
I guess that's just all that I get
As an old...

Angry clouds were above
Displaying hatred not love 
With an angry growl 
Came a heavenly howl 
There are energy impulses 
Crackling lights dished out in doses 
Joined the powerful teaming downpour  
Angels sending a message...

Imagine for one moment, one misty mystic moment,
how best to  use  those golden float seconds,
moments, hours, we as mortal creatures
abnormally fritter into some quaint spurious
void  known as passage.
Time's colossal collateral bequeathed unbeknownst

Dummying Up
              by Odin Roark

Once mannequins rocked.
Utilitarian heroes propped up
Behind steering wheels,
Windows,
Doors,
Even beside display animals.
Such were the iron-hearted
Of atomic testing ground history.

Today,...

Allegiant Air 
Was on time for a scheduled affair 
Landing on the strip 
Customers claiming to be here for a gridiron trip 
In reality they transport a gullible lot 
Visiting football fanatics who think their...

Tom Thumb got caught peeping 
Now his life is on the run
Little Bo Peep lost her sheep 
On a gambling junket she was on 

Little Miss Muffet is having to tuff it 
Out these days...

For those residents in MAGAville,
    That can't seem to pull their heads out of Trumps' ass.
        Take a minute away from those affectionate kisses, and

First come up with a catchy title
One that will draw the crowds
Throw in a bit of Mojo
A little pizzazz, a lot of Wow

Give it a twinge of what people want
A slight tweak of what people...

The vague and the abstract turned into a contract,
adrenaline junkies, now joined in a dare.
With hands up, no screaming, they’d both go careening,
defying gravity at the State Fair.

What started as amity morphed to calamity
enough that...

When you have spent most of your life,
Suffering from panic attacks, Agoraphobia, and strife,
The last thing you need to happen to you,
Is for your glasses to suddenly break in two.
Only an hour before you meet...

Whodathunkit

Jebediah Suggs 
watched the gopher tortoise hide –
    his veggies at risk

“Y’all listen up, dang fool tortoise
If’n yer expectin’ a meal
Ya gotta ‘nother thin’ comin’

“I been a plantin’ and a waterin’
Watchin’ my...

Like pieces of a puzzle,
Our differences fit together,
In this grand mosaic called life.

Each shape unique, Each color vibrant,
A bourgeoisie woven with threads of diversity.

The edges may not align,
But they interlock perfectly,
Creating a pulchritudinous whole.

Some pieces...

Stirring cauldrons of cataclysm 
And with ladle full
The storm of deception has fallen 
From tounge to voice to fool.
Born is this entity, a monster of sorts
And to this monster we grant 
Entrance to our ports,
To...

tiny lump-like, grown soon into a mass nested
in a pouch, born into a gentle light flesh with tiny limbs and heart sealed in a bottle left off to the shores of critics.

(Reply to Jack Ellison’s “A Secret Formula”
with my apologies)

Jack ruminates, one day past

with a bit of luck in his bill
