Long Pretties Poems

"The discrepancies are many, the dalliances are few,
both pitched against one dynamic, lifelong achievement"

Poking through the woods of the Mill Grove Audubon Estate,
suddenly came upon an ivy-covered studio shed
tucked away amongst foliage near Perkiomen Creek,
apparently...

Heaven Leigh Kent,
With whom a lot of my time has been spent,
Non of which I even slightly resent,
I assure you, she certainly thinks I am a gent!

When she was two,
The things we use to do,

Kindness and Lament

Money never to be found or spare
Funny how people just sit there and stare
Honey now you know this really isn’t fair 
Sunny for those who genuinely care 
Affection for those who are broken...

Some people see life's life

While living within a land, of

Fantastical tales....

Secured by their very own securities

Of harmony and comfort, and inward views

As all about them countless lives

They perish....

Amid wars, famines and disease!

Passing these flowers unto...

Welcome signs spreads dah floor_
And here I stand just before.
There’s Happy people inside therein_
It's soon to open_ don't know when.

Peeping through dah peephole
waving to dah crowd_
doing my best_ not ta get loud.

I keep-a ringing dah...

Twas the night before Christmas, when all thru the Soup bowl,
Not a poet was writing, not even the musing mole.
All their pens were hung by the chimney with bubble gum,
Hoping Winged Warrior would lose and...

I miss you momma
Hi, momma
I'm your little baby girl
Momma

I’m here keeping a loving watchful
Eye on you momma

We don't want you to worry

Wish I could have been there

But now since I’m a full pledge

My duties are...

My Angel Bob is on vacation
That is my predicament and situation
You see for a few thousand years
Hundreds of souls have been in his care
Millions of prayers he sent to Above
Always watching with quiet love
Bob is...

Coming out of my prison door
Accompanied by my companion
Not connected in any way
....but I knew him

Barren wasteland, behind
Freedom beckons my will
I do NOT stop for direction
But run headlong into the chill

Wrapped tightly in failed attempts
To...

Anybody on this road we're on
Ain't nobody wants to be alone
Everybody's trying to make it home
To somebody
Sunflower, we're not in Kansas now
It's a new life down in Alabama
God gave us a little white house

Baby be...

Your beauty beyond comprehension
bleeds from Azimuth to the stars
tender petals frozen in blue light
pique at the dawn in delight

As your fingers glide
smoothing air soft fingers
through colours poured to dye
and paint a Monet of illusion

Crossing my...

Halloween Night


Before the night is done;
Out before the setting sun,
Children good and mean, one by one
In Halloween costumes run
Through the neighborhood
Yelling, Trick or Treat. Feeling good,
Gleaning as much candy and fruit cache;
Laying out their mischief...

Grayscale had been hearing about the cardinal nest queen
Since the day she was two, and now she was sweetly nineteen.
She is given warm cat nip, and gifted whatever she has ever dreamed.
Her relatives never see...

Predacious paralogisms of parodies

Pantheans pantomiming

Their self indulgent songs....

Piping their illusions from realities

While the world crumbles about their feet

These axioms of paracymenes souls

Prophesied, from the prophets times

Copyrights....

Fulfilling their tales told

These fallacies of fathoms fantasies

Delusioned dreams, of...

In the palate of a rainbow purple is my muse , such depth, such splendour it entrances the eye it fixates only on it 

This is the colour of great many things, it may be...

The humble dank, dark hall of death
Was quiet, peaceful and stocked.
With corpses bandaged, naked and cold
And not even close to rottening.

Leather faced pretties and fly-blown chaps
Beneath the sheets snow white.
They soon will rise from sudden...

When you came into my life, you gave it all to me
You promised love and said it all could be
You stood on the edge, girl you say, you can come or you can stay
But if...

Light a flame, America and keep it burning bright.
Let your voices be a chorus that echoes in the night.
For too long we have lived in shameful ignorance,
lining like sheep whenever government takes a stance.
Well, I’m...

This is written as a man talking to his love:

I hold your memory close to my heart,
My beautiful Scarlet Rose.
I wait for the pounding, the breathless part
That only true love can know.

You look sweet as...

The Halloween Cat

I am small, I am deadly
and fleet as the breeze
none hear me approaching
and not a soul sees.
With my claws razor sharp
and my bright toothsome grin
I will catch you, my lovelies
and gobble you in.

Oh...

I’ve been missing you
Especially today
It’s your birthday
I’m going to our favorite place
Down by the lake 

I bought a balloon for you 
Of course it’s red
Your favorite color
Because you somehow believed it’s the pretties color 

So...

So sadly, I must kill you my pretties -
then, I can love each of ye forever.
True tears moisten simple strokes of my brush,
gay gouache can caress every feather.
As you ascend, your wings will be fulfilled
when...

When I look at him,
It's like the warmest of summer days 
with the harshness of winter.
He's plastic, it seems.

He's like an immortal,
free of all mortal blemish 
behind his gleaming screen
or the camera lens.

I wish to...

As I stared despairingly at the transom,
my daughter declared, as she gave a smile winsome:

“I wouldn’t stand for such a name, if I were Janell!
It’d be okay of course, if Janell refers to the vessel…”
