Long Peckish Poems

As swift assaults endeavored to prevail,
the magnitude of death was asinine.
‘Twas such a toll above a measured scale
that no explicit value could define.
As battles raged, no exploit could surmount
the endless waves that fell within the...

The Joys of Getting Older.

We may all be getting on a bit
But lets not forget for some more fortunate
 The joy of it

You don’t have to bounce up and down in bed no more
And when...

A leopard found a shepherd who was looking after lambs
The shepherd had some sandwiches with different flavour jams
The leopard feeling peckish thought he’d steal one tiny sheep
So he snuck behind the shepherd and that’s when...

Nietzsche got it wrong
And though I’ve often heard it said
I think I’m sure of it myself
Yes - I know I am not dead

I never died, nor was I born
I am older than the Earth
And as...

high priority insecurity
gastro-growling, 
a peckish fling
in the food desert - 
not dessert - desert
this lip service 
don't a mouth fill

maybe one of five
on the sleigh's edge 
gazing at the growling wolf 
of slowly going down,
ground...

Mourn not my Son... your Father's dead
And there's nothing to be done.
Do not mount the battlements in my defense
As the race was fairly won.

The kitchen table has not been set...
My chair lies stark and bare.
No...

My dad always takes care of me
He just loves me all the time,
Even when i disturb him
When his words he tries to rhyme,
He quickly picks me up
And gives me a loving pat,
He'll make sure i'm...

Alone and hungry
left leg aches like a broken peg
in the mugginess of its left slipper.

Not a good day for fixing anything
but the sealed and over salted,
the quickly warmed and spooned
that can be mixed into a...

Melting snow,
Cool breeze,
Crowded crows diving in a row,
Return of the unfriendly bees,
Colorful rainbow in the sky,
And the strange songs of the talkative parrot;
These are signs that Spring is around the corner.
Again, she has defeated Queen...

What would you do, if you did, 
get up close and personal with a fish. 
Would you ask him a generic q, 
like 'where's the nearest public loo?' 
Or try your best to respect,

Woke up this morning, it's one of those days.
I see the bright sunshine through a grey, misty haze.
My head hurts, my eyes burn, I hurt in some places,
That used to be located in different places.

Numbers make the world, 
no smiles or batted eyes here
numbers make the world, 
no sticky-sweet fingers or waving palms
numbers rule without qualms

Gross domestic products and 
tonnage of staples on actuarial tables
PSI and APY ratioed percentages

Rough night, sleepless night 
Waiting anxiously for my change to come 
Though without any redemption at sight 
Yet I still wait until my change comes 

Resting my rumps, peckish and famished 
Scared of the dark,...

A feathered clutch once bewailed –
What can a sparrow do
in a sky full of raptors?
The red-necked puckers’ won’t arrive
until blood smells like copper pennies.

She was only one winter old,
cried a fuss-bucket booby.
Begone crone.
 croaked a...

Rumbles of boredom lead the mouth to eat
but then there are the unwashed,
the residue of the crumbling
and smeared. Greasy utensils
sneaking like sharks amongst the soaking dishes.

A need now to refresh this domestic pond
with chemical bubbles

Rumbles of boredom
lead me to eat

the residue of the crumbling
and smeared. Greasy utensils
sneaking like sharks

We need to refresh this pond
with chemical bubbles
yet hands are too dilatory
to be...

You’re such a loving charmed romantic soul
Feeling so blessed to have you in my life
To tickle cuddle nibble and cajole 
It's very endearing to be your wife

You turn each day to a celebration
Joy is our...

Turtle so slow
Has emerged from below 
How does he breathe down there
Without any air
Don’t ask me how
At least not just now
I’m feeling a bit peckish
And could stand a nice fish dish
Earlier, I saw some bass
Hiding...

Dance on my corpse oh lady of the night,

Bandicoot's bounce over my dead lead head.
Grim the outlook,
I am the grimness in my own storybook.
Moods are my mannerism's.
Gooey nose - a stonking flu

now I mimic a monkey
with my bullhorn blowing.

When will the sun...

APPLE PICKING 

“Adam, are you hungry?” 

Asked Eve, seductively. 

“There’s a lovely juicy apple 

On a low branch of that tree.” 

 

“I must confess I’m peckish,” 

Said Adam longingly.  

“But God said that...

Roll In Sin

Rulers are just straight measuring sticks  
Buddy clubs and straight jackets
Ladders behaving like flowers
Black rose bush learing over the pastel shined Tulips grown 

A different life green and blue
People can represent and...
