Long Nickel and dime Poems

COFFEE
       HOUSE 
       BLUES


I am
in the A.M.
Am I ?
I think I am!

It is A.M.
in the coffee house
down on MacDougal
down the stairs
behind closed doors
another...

There once was a west ham 
Went to Hollywood with a plan 
Thackray was her name 
She loved the American cheese game 
Everything seemed fine 
Sorority House filled with cheap wine 
Doing the nickel and...

THE OLD FART SONG
(sing to the tune of "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys")

Verse one:

Old men ain't easy to love and they're harder to mold,
so train 'em when young, girls, don't...

You made a lot of money
selling lewd photos of nude
Then you parlayed your profits
into cyber surfing —  
triple X cinema porno crude
Nasty video sex business you were so into
Your vested interest was
a skin flick...

It’s always better to move on and not forget 
Why forget when you’ve been around so long
The future never shapes
It’s just some hope for the waste which is the past
I live in the moment and...

Friends come gather around 
There is a young soul that must be found 
Travelling the air 
Complaining life wasn’t fair 
Trying not to scare 
Being daunting 
In his haunting 
Only a few months old 
Buried...

Dear sweet baby Kaden, life is but a dream. 
It's much bigger than what it seems 
Your tiny shoes haven't even gotten a run down on the streets 
Even right now, hope and prayer fulfill...

Festered lament maddens me
Why must the despair of my heart’s desire
Truly enlighten me? 
I rested among the sick and lame
And found myself no different from the rest
For a troubled mind holds endless poverty
Penniless regret marks...

We blame the white man for all our misfortunes
We're doing the best we can
So damn it! If all else fails
Blame the white man
Ignorance prevails.

Standing on long welfare lines
Trying to scrape for every nickel and dime
Yet...

hell's present
don't you remember?
the game they played
as addictive as it was

Set this off

surrounded by demons here
playing the same game

did you forget something?
remember me?
your hell hath no fury
not anymore

the devil ran for the door
gone into hiding
full...

Elmont was a good father 
Children never a bother 
Having two daughters years after he wed 
Everything well planned not much debt 
Rose and Susie were their names 
Beautiful flowers blooming in a family picture...

These Hallowed halls
Frequented by myth and griffin
Whose presence Guards these priceless minds
 Protecting the unwritten novels
M C Squared and ingenious thoughts
The prophesy of zero one

This gluttony of ideas thirsting on capitalisms juice
Summoning their messiahs to...

On this morning Thomas awoke 
Ready to take on a forecast predicting he would get soaked 
Still doubting thinking meteorology was a joke 
Headed outside 
Winds blowing no lie 
Running back under covers 
Twenty four...

When I was in pigtails, years younger than him,
my big brother’s bedroom was filled to the brim
New comic books, from the small corner store
would light up his eyes, from the ceiling to floor
Every nickel or...

Writing fiction 
Has no restriction
Unlike the journal writer on the list 
Asking ‘what is this’ 
Raising their fist 
Not allowing anything to be missed 
Dependent on a quote from someone else 
Driving them insane straight...

Some people are of the belief, that teacher come from one place
From a school or university, with degrees all over the wall
Know great big fancy words, recites Shakespeare
With IQ's a mile high, that would put...

I shall take my pen in hand
Though it is late at night
A single man making a stand
Trying to do what’s right

Which is something hard for me
Though I cannot place why
All the skies, tries and alibis

GASPERATIONS

When my heart beats ten times it’s as if nine are mine 
And the other one is reserved for a beautiful beat number ten
But she walked out on a partnership that was falling apart

We cowardly or nonchalantly sit in front our TV
Watching for years: the killings of babies
The odious humiliation of humanity
The bloody murders of pregnant ladies
The iniquitous insults of innocent civilians
The deactivation of so many ingenious poems
And...

Thomas was a doubter 
Not a pouter 
Day was bright 
Sunny no clouds in sight 
God’s gift warm and temperatures just right 
But there was Danny the weatherman
Predicting things behind a five and dime stand...

In the Bank or Under the Mattress

By Elton Camp

Decades ago, it was hidden at home folks kept their dough
But they had to be concerned that it might be stolen, though

Nowadays, most of us deposit our...

My soul started yearning
And my feet grew all restless
To see the old hometown
And the place I was born.

Out back of my old house   
Sweet nature was waiting,
The woods of my youth
Were calling me...
