Long Lassoing Poems

Tis the season, for"Love"....

The time of giving and caring

Peace on earth, and good will, to all of life!

To lay aside the swords, the spears, the guns

Embracing the hope of a tomorrow

Clear, from the sediments of...

Lust's Sickness throws off the yoke, of cure? 
Defiant in-body, pleasures obscure.
A mask, of pride, a lost soul-in vogue capture, a hell-ride in the belly of a beastly whore. 
 
The salt crystal shines your...

May sunshine and scattered showers
Countdown days and sleepless hours
Village maidens creep from their bowers
Meet amongst the meadow flowers

In a circle they skip and dance

Whilst chanting their love one's name
Enticing as moths to a flame
Each to...

Netflix, I will not watch you tonight
I wanna spend the evening hungry
I wanna be a pioneer without WiFi
I wanna be a cowboy without a harmonica
I wanna be a pine tree without the sun 
Attuned to...

My friends are my family.
Except....they like me, they adore me, they say nice things about me.
My friends understand that in a writer's life, sometimes I ignore their
phone calls, their emails and their texts.
If my muse...

   oh, the so-sublime motion of your sway
 dressed in naught but the moon's wisps
sole fascination of the gods themselves
 should Valhalla ever hold the refinement
    to abide such flawlessly...

Yesterday the mice had full reigns of the house
In every corner a set of beady eyes looked on
The rodeo of mice soon grew up to be a bad mouse
We tried lassoing them but all they...

SEED OF ABRAHAM

HABITUAL attendance stacks the odds?
God makes no MISTAKES.
The stars twinkle day and night,
MYRIAD upon MYRIAD for so long.

Flowing robes, jutting HUMBLED chests
Caressing the torah, oh lovely scroll
Kicks those sinners in the pants
Dare they...

I've spent my entire life avoiding
becoming a material man, the
tentacles of competition growing out
of my heart, fed by the springs of my
soul...

functioning as some mythical creature, lassoing 
and capturing passing ships of my environment,
controlling my...

Sorry, I've not been around 
But for Christmas time...I was Texas bound 
I hadn't time for poetry 
First time there...had much to see
 
Like longhorn bulls, in tamed stampedes
Cactus plants and tumbleweeds 
Saw Dallas Cowboys...

It sounded so cool,
coming from the master
wordsmith there on the cover
of "Poets and Writers".
didn't he look like he knew?
White hair and beard,
impeccable, black turtleneck,
coarse cloth overcoat,
turned out, casual and
desciplined.
More like mapping the magi or
apping the...

When words are running rampant
You just have to rein them in.
By lassoing a few of them,
At least you can begin.

They’ll buck and kick and race around,
Defiantly at first, 
Especially the adjectives – 
You know that...

Super Souper 9-16-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Super Souper

Super Soupers wrangle rhymes
 into verses quite sublime
Taming wild-eyed metaphors
 into iambic strophes galore
Lassoing doggy ironies
 with clever lines, entendre ease
Galloping alliterations
 corralled by personifications
Silencing cacophony
 with gentle mooing euphony
Bucking wild imagery

Playing hopscotch upon the stars
Planets stare in awe at the child
Capturing the universe in a jar

Lassoing moonbeams, future rays of hope
To illuminate all dark and dreary nights
So his creation finds a way to cope

With Pluto...

Stretching my mind accross the dreamscape,
Trying desperatly to find an open door,
Where i can pluck my sane thoughts
From the whirlwind,
Tuck them safely back in again
Bloody knees and knuckles struggle up the mountainside
No ray of hope...

Cattlemen in the evening sky
Who have gone to their by and by
Have been seen now and again
By those considered special friends.

Ridin' the stars and ropin' the moon
Making it easy as they zoom
Only one in a...

On a bicycle, freedom's flight
Pedaling 'cross the horizon
Reflections of blue in my sight
With dreams of lassoing the sun

A girl's spinning wheels leave the ground
On a bicycle, freedom's flight
O'er the treetops without a sound
Veils of darkness...

"We Are All Stardust - Milky Way" by JonMarc



I softly brush stardust from your cheek, and only an enticing 
smile parts your lips. Your smooth skies, captivating and unspoken, 
satiate. Like a distant galaxy, you...

This Ravel Music

reminds me of old delicious nights
spent with dark- skinned linda 
of canobie street 
she was my night girl 
my morning girl too 
wearing lilac madness

Loneliness wears me from head to toe using

zipper teeth lengths of excruciating, debilitating 

months that are capable of choking all my hope.

I feel lifeless as I attempt transforming into a bright 

mood color with a...

Garments

Opened the wardroom’s door, suits and jackets worn
so long looked like sad copies of me.
Gave all my clothes to the salvation army, which gave
them to people not unlike me.
Too much textile is a heavy burden...
