Long Modernize Poems

Resting In These Tennessee Hills

Lazy mornings in these Tennessee hills
Horned owl in tree behind house hoots all night
Sometimes annoys but often gifts a thrill
As country-fired moon sends us brighter light!

Mellow breeze, waltz morn rays with...

Old Rinzburger was dead, 
only his wife has doubts. 
Death certificate had been signed.
by the banker, his best friend, 
He will soon take bids on his property.

An ancient once busy windmill 
dominates the...

A New King?
The future Ebenezer Scrooge will be clever and unkind, but not that bright. Will he try to rule as king of kings, and put out all the Christmas lights? Or will some politician...

A gorgeously dressed “tears” in unknown fears.
How dare you abseil my cheek-beards
in horror of cheers my rictus is smothered to share?
It is clear to glare how bitter your wares are.
 
You declare your flair through my...

Does our government really think it’s worth the fight?
For greed that we don’t need for ourselves,
The public is deceived, unaware they don’t mean well
All they have to see is a mirror to their eyes. 
Reflected...

Life lost in saline streams
Straining to see
Possibilities in reams and streams
Crane to love me

Although I desire nothing unproven
In the world I grapple to save
From madness and sadness woven
In webs only the brave

Dare to challenge
In the...

Bought an old cottage
In the country side
Needs some renovation
Have to modernize
On a plot of land all on its own
Wanna make this house a home
 
 
 
 
Gonna fix those windows
New bathroom too
Another thatched roof
Make...

God, the master craftsman, 
Set out to build this world.
At the end of each workday 
He’d hang up his tool belt,
Clean up the job-site,
Stand back and say to Himself,
“It looks good”.

The end of the project...

Grope slopes of love doves through your palpitation periscope
Sacrifice the price of neglect notoriety, preserve the verve of hope
Multiply and gratify the clue and value of courtesy
Divide glides, prides and slides of mock mercy. ...

Perhaps too often... we give up in life
Perhaps too often... we thought we could've done
Too often... if only we could be precise
Yet precision isn't only for champions to shun

We can always do so much more
Why...

REMINISCENCES   OF   A   DINOSAUR


Nothing really changes;   each one thinks himself
Slightly better than others of similar type :
“Oh, he’s too  fat ;  she’s gonna be left...

Modernize the term ignore
Make it a petit bit cheeky.
Doesn't it sound better 
To use Scott's way of "Dingy"?

To run to him will cause him to
OF COURSE, run further away.
So be the negative to his positive
Human...

Once a poet is done psychically with his or her craft
With the vernacular of his or her masterpieces
It’s the role of the readers to add mentally missing pieces
Parts, ideas, images, a few words and a...

The Slow Hands Flies

'Your soft slow hand feels like flitting fireflies ' 
Albeit, naught fireflies had, but slow hand flies,
Here in Hawaii where our slow hands rise,
E'er so smoothly, while they lift to the skies,
Their...

The pictures on my walls have not
Been changed for many years.
I’m stuck with what I have
Or that’s the way that it appears.

My furniture is old as well;
Things rarely get replaced.
I like the way it looks...
