Long Lowdown Poems

Here are questions that I would be asking Trump.

have many crosses to burn
why never will take your turn
before start did adjorn

poor things have proposed
why are you being exposed
lying we supposed

with supporters mingles
and why do you...

Truly ... . 


What-an-honor, this-sweet-grace ...
perfect a righteous gift-it-is.
 
The day waiting patiently-in the morning,
coffee-in-hand moccasin slippers-
waking-up-to-it-the-gentle-waterfall-awaiting-me ... 
cascading-into-a-shimmering-crystal-
still-fresh-rippling, gently-churning-pool-of-dreams,
the many-wonders-of an alliterate life.


Breathing ... breathtaking-to be sure-it-is-a-chore-itself ... 
 
it-takes-time.
 
 
Round and round-a throw-down-
in-and-out-tic-tock-goes the clock-
knock-it-down-drag-it out-
though-it-may-be-a-crucial, bloody,
treacherous seemingly listless brutal ... 
bruising, got beaten-up-again, lowdown hoedown-
gasping-for air-sometimes-
discouraging ... kind of-a-thing ... .


Sill-so-it-gets-up-early-raring-to-go, 
continues fighting ...
with mercy in hand-
forgiveness-taken-into-the-battle with-it,
it-can't be-lost.


Can't be lost.


Tender tales tall tell-timely
in-earnest the-fervency ... divinity-relevancy, 
 
reality of-the-story. 


Stars shine-cast-their-beauty-liberally ...
sheen's of glassy rays-of-overt light-
sparkle-freely-in-their delight-
under-the-moon-laughter ...
fills the-night ... .


Swallows in their benignity ...
wade about puff-up-full-and-billow ... 
shadow's in their whimsy way, 
cast their welcoming ... 
in-the-warming, 
as the weeping tree weeps. 


Cool-pools shallow of-crystal-rock-and-alabaster-sands 
promote their-gentle fondness upon the pond floor. 


Kindred the swallows in-their-promise, 
beauty-benignity ...
in-the-moonlight-they-are one with love, 


and running felicitous ... 

touched by the union 
follows closely the dove ... 
divinity has found a home.


Liberty residing-evolving-
evermore-abounding well-
beside desire, 

the heart-makes-haste. 


Peace stakes its claim in faith, 
in-the-Son's-glorious-arrival, abandon, 
absolution, return. 

 
Cast-about-in-the gesture, 
blowing-free-in the wind growing-
abundantly like the humming bird-
sipping on wild-honey-dripping-
fresh-in-the-rising Summer-Sun ... .
 
 
Splashing-onto dew-drops-
glistening as you-know-
they always do lying upon lilac-
flower petals, dandelions-
growing even-more-
elaborate-carried along-
with-the-blueberry-
cakes-popcorn-soda-
I've-just-consumed ... ....

the overnight stock person varies with the place of imprisonment---

When it is time to come out of lockdown.
Some will be looking for a showdown,
Others will only want the lowdown.

Some will not fit though their doors,
Others will need something to hold up their draws.

Some will...

Before the Big Bang brought star dust 
To the interstellar scene
It must have been something like 
An unfathomably immeasurable self-inducing 
Divinely driven dream machine.
Mind forming matter as imagination 
Up the ladder 
Rungs of time;
Step by...

It was warm in the yurt; the desert was unyieldingly hot.
There was the slight scent of ylanylang, it was sweet.

He was yacking to the point of yammering,...

Ripping nostalgia right out of my veins
Crippled curtains living in psycho domains

Lowdown Lonesome Blue

I woke up one morning feeling lowdown lonesome blue.
I thought I can beat this, so I called a friend or two.
One said he was busy it’s a lowdown rotten shame.
But he would call...

Whilst working close together on

At the site of both of your 1st job's at 
the tender age of just 17

Ohoopee Bound

She played a six string guitar
With a lowdown Georgia flair
She played it in a tavern
In the sultry Summer air
She played it for the locals
When they came each Friday night
She played it for her lover

A good view. The traffic and wind careen.
The highway overpass vibrates. Suicide starts
to sing, a wind-dervish rattling thin mantis limbs.

On the branches of peripheral nerves, small birds
stretch plasma necks, warble high
in the catbird seat of...

Fire raged through heavy wooded terrain,  
Blizzard hit the panhandle hard,   
Bad windstorm slammed the western plains,   
Mudslides hid hundreds of backyards.   
 
Brutal sandstorm swept through arid...

Examining the measure of my calamity
I grow resentful and I inflict pain
Seeking to surrender all that possesses me
I lash out at the innocent which discloses my shame
I reach out
The intensities of my suffering I shelve...

A pool of red ink with a bitter scent.
Youthful laughter through a pert lilac field.
Those lowdown branches of soulful lament
snatch at his boyhood, rent his beaming clothes.
“O red rain! Reduce us to embryos!”
There two mothers...

The high places
are where the rich and poor go
Venues where they congregate,
order the strong drink and rub the elbow
They come together,
no matter the social strata
The high place

I know the words you use to slander me.
Your slurs mar your own virtue, not my hue. 
You slam to smear cloud fuzz on your heart’s plea
that once upon a joy, sought my “I do.”

I saw a man standing by the road
He was bedraggled and beaten down,
I passed him by, afraid to share my empty seat
And thought how sad we have come to this
In our self-satisfied want for nothing,
Afraid,...

When Port play the Crows it’s called the Showdown.
Listen awhile and I’ll give you the lowdown.
These two mighty suburban Adelaide teams,
Show us what a true rivalry means.
The teams smother each other and hate one another,
