Long Oddest Poems

After winning a sweepstakes, I determined to go on a lengthy trip;
And I wanted to tour the mainland, after I had disembarked the ship.

The countryside was quite beautiful, and had myriad charming towns,
Some with the...

Young James Pruitt was an ordinary boy;
he grew up in an ordinary town.
But set a spell, and I’ll tell a tale
of how some not-so-ordinary things went down.

See, James was a good boy; he did his...

Where can I trace this finite feeling,
So that you may see it in its true form?
Upon your heart I would wish it would land,
Yet could my silly hands possibly reach there?
Such an affecting grasp it...

None are perfect…we all fall short. With this in mind, let us be mindful of ‘how’ we ‘correct’ a fellow pilgrim as we journey home. Remember, every individual’s walk with God is different. No two...

As I strolled through the street one day,
The oddest sight caught my eyes,
A man, only wearing rags,
But very wise,
Spoke words of knowledge, inspiration and advice,
How to care, how to share,
And just how to be nice,
To...

Mince Meat Pie No Lie

Oh great! Found that some guy forgot to stipulate
How he knows people hate to wait or set a date
Important enough and already been accentuated
And, would you believe, destroyed, defecated and then...

Morbid fascination (mine) as covid-19 pandemic...
foments rampant monopoly on bedlam

Wreaking ball (his stick) havoc (think ostensible
civil war scale not seen since Vietnam),
whereby microorganisms jamb
Homo sapiens immunity system
complements of gook
resembling green eggs and ham
necessitating Doctor Seuss

Dear Sprouting Rhymers,


To me, modern poetry could be most simply put as “everything”,
     everything that you see, experience or feel put into words.
Everything written to evoke thought and feeling in others...

I end up insecure like a homeless individual,
Going through the streets of sheer cruelty
I desire to be mighty like you, my faith fuel
Blowing like the breeze of mere uncertainty

Hope you're happy where you are...

Well, I...

We are primates, one and all
And our heritage is not from the fall.
The primate group is where we’re from
And no matter how far we’ve come
We owe our past through ties of time
And that’s the purpose...

A group of princesses who show their strength in various ways: music, astronomy, fashion, fighting, speech, art, etc.

Whoever said that Princesses can't be strong is oh so very, very wrong.
Because even though we still have...

Lingering Hearts

It will start on a golden summer's eve, 
when you see her playing with her hair. 
A breeze will blow black locks against her face, 
and her eyes will raise in bemused surprise.
And past...

It arrived yesterday, manifested gradual and absurd,
started with the surrounding area dying first,
then the original picture of a missing itty bitty bird,
levitating and unmovable.

More people went missing as the days converge,
sure enough a new snapshot...

It is a quite Sunday morning

It was a weird outing in the evening

We saw fuming ashes

We saw failed elephants

We heard the tales of fallen petals

We saw drifting continents of love and lust

It was a quite...

Life is confusing sometimes
At least it has been for me
I was Mom’s “change of life” baby
two siblings far older

change in the birth certificate
three days spent as Marilyn
then I became Carolyn

not many toys in our city...

A cosmic parade today fell from the starry sky
As nations lined up to watch it all pass by

Beauty to behold, a bit hard to believe
Paraded down all the worlds cities streets

Chrystal spears of every color...

Now that he's without him
what is he working for
He had never truly realized
His dad drove him to want more
With working came acceptance
replaced emotions he concedes
and his father unavailable,
he kept his schedule filled with deeds,
When his...

Sad to admit I’m a Florida man…a Florida man with the blues
because I’m tired of the way a Florida man is depicted on the news.

A Florida man attacks his girlfriend with a banana…
But that’s not...

Light is kin to vapor, 
	to certain fogs, 
	and the effervescence of ideas,
	yet Edward Hopper’s summer light, 
	when it comes late in the afternoon, 
	is solid, opaque,
	the color of soft butter,
	heavy with heat and remorse,...

Come one, Come all
To the Circus of Love
We accept all comers
Try to win a White Dove.

It really doesn't matter
If you've been here before
Enter to the left folks
Step right through that open door.

Once is usually never...

The Subtle Sounds Of Love
By David N. DOnihue

I have heard the subtle sounds of love
harmonizing just beneath the walla of the subway.

As if the souls of the passengers had crawled 
collectively beneath the train and...

Horatio Haiku Horn

What was a haiku
Did it get all over you
Or was I all wrong.

A haiku have heard
Can be completely absurd
Unless a bright bird.

If you knew haiku
Like I shown have known haiku
Things could become verse.

I am a white owl,
I listen to people’s scowl,
I turn a deaf ear to a drunk’s howl,
I don’t quench my thirst from your water bowl!
I come out at midnight,
So that, I don’t get to see...

Some things come to you
when you are alone
with your thoughts
and the sun is setting through your window.

Like now.
I am with my thoughts
of yesterday.
She is small
fragile looking.
I am not.
She came to me for solace
