Long Meddlers Poems

Preparations for 'Luau' (LOU-ow) or a Hawaiian Party-like event, for a church Luau, would be a 'Ho'ike' (hoe-'E-kay). The hunters will tie the hind legs of whatever animal will go into an 'i'mu' (E'-moo), which...

It's a shame when you have a good thing going
& people want to intervene.
They don't want you to have
They are jealous & mean.
Their lives are not going well
They have nothing at all.
Instead of praying for...

Some cat entered my room one night
I thought it was a ghost
It smelled like something had just died
But I must oblige my guest as the host

I turned on the light and there it was
An obnoxious...

I see a contradiction that
grows clearer with each passing day,
once I think we all one know,
once saw as just part of the game,
a dynamic state of tension
that we should hope is not resolved,
for that be...

She loves me no more
Once cherished and
Adored
Now I am bruised and
Sored

I thought this was
The part, were she:d
Be my wife
We have a lovely start
Someone to love the
Rest of my life

She wishes to be...

They put their concerns on the
large container in the corner
it was enough for me to tease their imagations
of it's content.
It had a music notes on the side
and made mention of
awareness

one side sported a scence of

Trouble left alone hurts no soul
Endowed with enough wisdom
To score no own goal
When trouble turns vicious in the kingdom 

Where trouble finger on the trigger of his machinegun
Slays intruders by the dozen
If wisdom devices from...

These walls are gathering together, closing with damp farewell embraces. 
The yawns of previous occupants echo through linoleum: my home of all places.

Visitors come and go, footprints on concrete pathways smoothed over by later settlers.
Redecorating...

I am so drunk already reading all this religious tripe n nonsense 
Give us all please - a rest !

What can be told about rumors that grow,
Of truths now sold and bushes that rove,
Time is best spent justifying means,
For this is the game or so it seems,

Of muddlers and meddlers for truths obscured,
Oft-times require...

Lady,
I am flattered at your skill at harm
Now let me see your skill to build
Tearing down has certain vulgar charm
My soul is but a poet's giant mill
And there is nowhere I intersection find
With shared values...

Bulging biceps and great power
Made Jock the man of the hour

As a model of good sportsmanship,
Recognition sent him on an ego trip

Long-standing records broke right & left
Made easier by his impressive...

I will NOT allow
ANY POET
to make assumptions
On any of my poems
Or make personal comments
About my life

Any comments on my poems
That violate my space
And my privacy
Will not be taken lightly

I am a loving, honest, sweet friend
I...

He is probably a righteous sort
A man who thinks he knows right from wrong
Some of them are good men
But in the name of goodness 
They cause most of the...
