Long Misconstruing Poems

Inevitable death defines afterlife

I mull mortality 
thru lens crafted occipital orbs
regarding a better future
experience sing a space oddity – 
whar incessant yaks
exuding a big hurt
emanate as cosmic atomic 
bipedal hominids replete roof lee wax
during a...

Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!

Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid...

I heard Run For The Roses by Dan Fogelberg on the radio the other day…instantly a memory awoke…and with it a feeling of humble joy that memory evoked.

It was years ago while still teaching (I...

Sad to see the causalities,
Of these ****ing tragedies,
Such democracy that's,
Full of ****ing hypocrisy ,
Said a free country,
Giving taxes then distributes monthly,
It's said god loves me,
Yet he continues to shun me,
With all these religious views,
Has every...

An Unexpected Visitor

By Elton Camp

The crunch of gravel in our drive
Announced a visitor had arrived
The curtain I then pushed aside
The car with amazement eyed

I wake, my eyes rapidly wandering; 
Avidly searching for the source of the tapping.
Held captive by the sight demon with it's repulsive hellish guise. 
Lingering; Hidden amongst shadows it stares while I let loose my...

"Conceive true deception multiplied a million fold
 visualize the yin and yang in a battle so intense
 that we get em confused
 the resident evil specialize in misconstruing

 We wanna be at a presidential level...

How mysteriously mythical
And mystical you look
Magnificently minute 
Maritime majestic migrants
More than marginally manic
Mesmerizing meanderers
Masterpieces
Peacefully going about
Your business
Magical make-believe
Monarchs of the sea
Upright and elegant
In your mannerly march

Moonstruck prone to 
Misfortunes and misadventures
Oft mostly monologuing 
In monotonous...

We all know those who cannot meet – 
Too busy, too much doing.
We understand and do not feel
That they are misconstruing.

Some that I know can’t even call – 
They cannot spare a minute.
I know they...

Some memories concern, effrontery
is always yearn, like countenance sojourning.
Unkinds its words in retrospect's home turning,
first lifts remind, then drops behind with slurring!

So I can find in grace's mind occurring,
as when thy presence binds me with...

Powerful people know what weakened sheep want;
an ethically weakened hero with power to flaunt.
They want an easy ideological direction,
not actual common sense or introspection,
an excuse for what they are already doing
a leader to ease their...

Out my window, the birds preen and take flight, 
Out my window, the sun arises from its chamber, 
Out my window, the lone traveller seeks light, 
Out my window is a city that doesn't see...
