(Authors Note: Be advised; this poem contains some non-delicate language but
it does have fewer calories than other similar generic poems)

 
Crimes of the future wait like raw sausages
Fat fingers in the eye of justice
Blind, inevitable,...

Truly ... . 


What-an-honor, this-sweet-grace ...
perfect a righteous gift-it-is.
 
The day waiting patiently-in the morning,
coffee-in-hand moccasin slippers-
waking-up-to-it-the-gentle-waterfall-awaiting-me ... 
cascading-into-a-shimmering-crystal-
still-fresh-rippling, gently-churning-pool-of-dreams,
the many-wonders-of an alliterate life.


Breathing ... breathtaking-to be sure-it-is-a-chore-itself ... 
 
it-takes-time.
 
 
Round and round-a throw-down-
in-and-out-tic-tock-goes the clock-
knock-it-down-drag-it out-
though-it-may-be-a-crucial, bloody,
treacherous seemingly listless brutal ... 
bruising, got beaten-up-again, lowdown hoedown-
gasping-for air-sometimes-
discouraging ... kind of-a-thing ... .


Sill-so-it-gets-up-early-raring-to-go, 
continues fighting ...
with mercy in hand-
forgiveness-taken-into-the-battle with-it,
it-can't be-lost.


Can't be lost.


Tender tales tall tell-timely
in-earnest the-fervency ... divinity-relevancy, 
 
reality of-the-story. 


Stars shine-cast-their-beauty-liberally ...
sheen's of glassy rays-of-overt light-
sparkle-freely-in-their delight-
under-the-moon-laughter ...
fills the-night ... .


Swallows in their benignity ...
wade about puff-up-full-and-billow ... 
shadow's in their whimsy way, 
cast their welcoming ... 
in-the-warming, 
as the weeping tree weeps. 


Cool-pools shallow of-crystal-rock-and-alabaster-sands 
promote their-gentle fondness upon the pond floor. 


Kindred the swallows in-their-promise, 
beauty-benignity ...
in-the-moonlight-they-are one with love, 


and running felicitous ... 

touched by the union 
follows closely the dove ... 
divinity has found a home.


Liberty residing-evolving-
evermore-abounding well-
beside desire, 

the heart-makes-haste. 


Peace stakes its claim in faith, 
in-the-Son's-glorious-arrival, abandon, 
absolution, return. 

 
Cast-about-in-the gesture, 
blowing-free-in the wind growing-
abundantly like the humming bird-
sipping on wild-honey-dripping-
fresh-in-the-rising Summer-Sun ... .
 
 
Splashing-onto dew-drops-
glistening as you-know-
they always do lying upon lilac-
flower petals, dandelions-
growing even-more-
elaborate-carried along-
with-the-blueberry-
cakes-popcorn-soda-
I've-just-consumed ... ....

Ten years past since Coyote deceased
The land became fruitful, with the help of a new priest
It was the time of the crescent moon
When the boys would be sent out across the desert dune
To kill a...

Hearing the whispers and hisses of a dreadful day
Without a word to say
Only the voices of winds howling "look how they sway, sway"...
Puddles It ruddles it will stay...
Never will it go away...

Rain is coming...
But thunder...

Mixed Marriage
By Rick Rucker

The sky seems somewhat bluer now,
The birds seem a little cheerier, somehow,

The grass looks a darker green, 
More so than I have ever seen,

My disposition seems to be more pacific,
As to why,...

WORDS ON A NAPKIN

I sat there at McDonald’s in grief from recent loss
And asked God why it happened, why I must bear that cross.
I’d lost a precious daughter, one for I oft did pray,
And now...

Maid

My maid of honor, 
my best friend, (smile)
help me in the moment, 
help me in the hour, 
help me make it down... 
the great white tower steps. 

My legs are wobbly, 
my heart is throbbing....

Winter, my favorite time of year
Breathing air so crisp and clear
Critters return back to their nest
Enjoying their long winter’s rest

A soul trapped in expectations,
A heart that beats with hidden tears,
A life lived for others' happiness,
While mine withers through the years.

They think I'm perfect, a flawless kid,
But little do they know the pain I hid,

As I walk this graveyard somber
Of a country shorn of life
Its gravestone reads, in the distance yonder
Stabbed by debt’s dagger knife

Our Founding Fathers, like demigods
Of a past enlightened age
Founded this nation, with musket rods ...

My Maltesers class is complete
A Star Bar move was quite a feat
I’m craving a curry
A Flake, or Mcflurry
Sweetcorns hurt the soles of my feet!
 
In the gym I perfect a Star Burst

Sung in perfect harmony
to express the way
her appreciation in song
expressions and directions
curved to music
crooned to song
a tenor's rendition
of a baritones affair
she stopped to smooth-out her hair
a glare to the crowd
she smirked than moved closer
only to...

All day and night, till where my eyes could take me, 
Nothing but excitement, is what I could see,
Nervousness (of course!) from my aunt’s side,
And other expressions, that she, from her face, can’t hide!

Skewers

Explaining the irony of
the wonderful choice of your gift
of Skewers

For our wedding
has escaped description
for far too long.

And they are quite long.
The skewers, silver,
balanced, stainless, and
uncommonly sharp.

The handles satisfy,
even before they 
plunge into unsuspecting
vegetables or seasoned,...

God made me a gift of laughter

Seeing myroses wither

Watching me walk with sorrow.....
