Long Parallelogram Poems

	
Mama, mama ...
I got a triangular problem
And I need you
to give me the square deal truth
Straight honest for real, lying foolproof — 
it’s a rectangle of a mess
I’m trapezoid in a love box,
never thought it...

Glancing down from breathless heights,
Amidst climey sighs,
The looming colossus awakens from slumber
And stretches across Thelwalls linear skies.
The hot engines hissing steam -
Recalled from fond memories long back -
Tumbling like huffing little rain clouds
Down from the...

The augury of him in Crimea was so
That Ekaterina said she was tired of sandwiches
But I did have black tea, black Latvian bread with her black Ikra near Black Sea
Hundreds of kilometres from Kiev and...

The cry is a teardrop, unheard
Among all the others in a curtain of teardrops.
You stand in the rain that falls out of nothing
The way gray cats move through back street alleys...

Quadrilateral parallelograms of a Universe that never breathes  
we are brainwashed by a scientific box that never sleeps.  
Having been cloned with insipid performance and abhorrence

Headwaters,
Of the world’s flowing souls,
Cresting to flight and misting rainbows.

Everyone.
Searching for another.
To endure sacrifices behold,

Cascading
Heart’s ladles dip into
Basins of memories in plunge pools.

Waterfalls,
From the rapids of youth,
To the flat waters of golden years

shape up said the circle to the square

you’re a bit rough around the edges

far too closed in for comfort and joy


I can’t help it I’m all full of angles

right ones and wrong perspectives

constant rectangular doom...

you and i were the 'good kids'
only spoke when spoken to
never picked a fight
didn't color outside the lines

later we learned that they
were sifting through all our art
ascertaining who lay on the
extremities of the bell curve

Rinsed aground.
Recording existence.
Abandoned dwellings wait to be found.

Each new tide 
Decorates the seashore –
Leaving remnants of moments in time.

Dawn awakens.
Sunlight sparkling the sand –
A woman strolls, collecting seashells.

Her thoughts soar.
Oh sweet creative mind!
Histories preserved in...

Musical,
like a thousand wild birds;
singing in a green forest joyful.

Heavenly,
like a red rose blooming;
in the dripping dawn of a new day.

Elegant,
like the towering trees;
along a forest path in the shade.

Beautiful,
like a sunset falling;
like all...

From high up
The rushing water leaps
A daring dive into the unknown.

Unrestrained
It tumbles down, eyes closed
Savouring the adrenalin rush

Of bold youth;
It flows in breathless flight
Crystalline streaks of exuberance.

Deafening
The roar of fulfilment
As waters meet and avidly merge.

I have fun with the world of geometry
The square, the rectangle and the parallelogram
Oh' the trapezoid and the rhombus
The triangles, the isosceles and the equilateral
All are a great happy family together
The circles and ellipses are...

Your brown eyes
sparkle like tiny stars
They shimmer and twinkle so brightly

Your beauty 
mesmerizes me so
like colorful wild flowers in bloom

Your kisses
so sweet upon my lips
like the nectar of golden honey

Your fair skin
like petals of a...
