Long Prong Poems

7. Playing With Fire
My mom IS quite clear on the dangers of fire,
But if boy'S hooked on flame, then it'S hard to obey,
There'S a longing for “MATCH GUN” (6) that most boys acquire,
Small'S the chance...

A Hallows Eve of trick or treating, elaborate costumes, candy eating,
       Lantern’s dimming upon nightfall, locked doors marks next year’s meeting.

My recalling of my day and for the next...

A translucent but lucid idea is best held by a pea in a pod. A pea in a pod is protected whilst in the pod but shelling the peas means that the pea would then...

When I get tired of the concrete and tar
there’s a place I can go, and not travel far,
that hasn’t been touched by progress at all;
nature stands still beneath gums growing tall.

And in amongst shadows with...

Issued paper fibers mirror those of the straw bale,
The waters of the great canal through the morning sail.

In spite Venezia was tied, the chairlift was jostling,
Twisting its way through the small calli in haze whiting....

This is PG-13! While googling, I accidentally bumped into something I wrote seven years ago. Only vaguely remember it. No one on the site where I posted it commented. Expect nothing less here. :)

On The Range

You are an old cowboy now.
Your bronco riding and rodeo days are over. 
You now mostly drive a pick up truck or ATV instead of a riding a horse.
You drink you whiskey straight,...

As the old soldier came riding in all alone,
    Worn out from battling said it was the worst he’d ever known.
He said they were heavily out numbered from the start,

Before the roses withered cancer took her in vain,
after the petals  w i l t e d  her scent never gone-
For only one thing in his heart could ever remain,

A weblike interior is not a gut feeling. It is an erosive quantity of golden hue with the goldsmith involved being the mind's eye. Mindful mindsets mingling many manuscripts momentarily. Regardless of format and zone....

Sprinkled over time of passing he finds legacy’s fathomless treasures

Finally he comes across a few pages of his father’s diary from the War

Loss fear survival battles a bullet here and there and grinding demise

Longing for...

Finally I have shut the dying demon out,
closed that dreadful door without a tear cried
I’ve tied your hands behind the back that broke me,
that choked the living from my drowning soul
and stole the truth that...

The Pollee

I guess now I have seen it all
A urinal for girls without the stall
General design? – a four prong unit
You back up girls and kind of spoon it
Don’t get the picture, here’s a teaser

Kaptain Kundalini

Those unloved, and void of lust
Stagnantly covered in the dust
Waiting to be wiped with thrust
Smoot veils, they’re on the cusp
Of being just one more swept away, unnoticed

Like ancient texts forgotten too
Gone unseen, closed eyes...

The autumn sun is mellow
Grey rain clouds have long passed by,
I whiff primroses yellow
As they heave a perfumed sigh;

Blue skies have looked not deeper
Bird-song now honey sweet,
Rich harvest for the reaper
As he eyes his field...

Fixing our own mistakes can be quite a vexatious trial
Laughing at our errors often brings us a humorous smile
Asking others for assistance is not a sign of weakness
What it shows is a humble nature known...

Deposited, held in Amazon's Adonis arms
    Hidden inhospitably stashed, kite shadow 
    Curled furtive, stairway stupefied windshield
    Hallucinations lag languished in amusement

While the rest of the...

Written on papyrus in the presence of different entities,
Thousands words written in Egyptian on a stone slab laid cryptic piece,
Dreaming realm of hallow wrath plague ridden disease,
Helms, spears, and tyrannical vengeance no apostle increase,
If the...

My Letter

I never thought, but gee, I guess
I’d like to be the letter S
From head to toe a shapely curve
The kind that all the boys observe
But NO, that letter’s for a dame
I ain’t a dame,...

The lonely, broken bird sings a song.
Its chirps and tweets sang of the blues.
We all listen, but scarcely help that bird fly along.

I'm a distant admirer seeing into a soul's long.
People see the reality of...

a thorn pricked her skin so venom oozed out

she laughed it off with one almighty shout

lanced the huge boil and proceeded to reap

ignored sharp pain though the bandage did seep

Helena's Torment - The Villanelle Of Skies

Helena couldn't stop thinking about skies
They were just so strong and long
But she could never forget the rise.

That morning, Helena was shocked by the device.
She found herself feeling rather...
