Long Poppin Poems

Brilliant, grandiloquent, magnificent, trenchant...
albeit modest word zealot

Writing prompts burst asunder
snap, crackle, and sweet Mary poppin
within me scrambled noggin
witnessing yours truly to blunder
blindly along this dark and stormy night
deafening soundcloud roared
with apocalyptic thunder
'course only audible to...

Try your best to knock me off balance.

But my patience is fading.

Keep up your hate,
But losing's...

Back in the days, the Elders weren't lying.
Sometimes I get up and hear cracks 4 or 5 times.
The hip gets to hurting with any sudden moves.
Walk slow up the stairs,...

Darken cloud heavy 
Full of rain,
Rain flooding the roads,
Flooding the streets, 
Water running playing a
Rain dance song,
Keeping its rhythem
Hittin,
Against my window pane
Sounding like a drum,
Wind whistling 
Trees dancing in step
With the beat,

The tall blue grass...

despite my feelings, i see the ceiling
crystal clear, between my dealings
then there is grounding, as im swimming
kept my chin up, no time for drowning
seeking a winning, hoping its double
not looking for trouble, but i get...

Pop, pop, poppin’
Never stopin’
There is no break,
From COVID outbreak. 
It’s late and I’m on my own,
Fireworks bang and I’m all alone
But the noise hits me
It tries to trick me
Is it my friend?
Is it my foe?
It...

Lets feel the warmth of the lemon colored sun
And have in hand a water gun
I want the pellets to hit our faces
And try to run through the dry spaces

Oh, isn’t...

Poppin is my teddy bear

together contemplating life
and where it is we're at
We clowned...

Lead poppin
Heart stoppin
No option
Either way by the time they're 18 they'll have no oxygen
No sympathy don't box slaughtered children
How can see a child murdered and no chills send
They're reckless approach is militant
Layin bombs settin off...

From love that is never stoppin
