Long Psyched Poems

major storm on the horizon reported from the "Fo'c'sle"

Though forever being a landlubber
a vision analogous to the nether world
deep within the bowels of the Earth
immensely distant from the sheltering sky
amidst a thick fog enveloped landscape

March 8th - International Women's Day The World Over

Down to the wire, before this
calendrical occasion doth expire,
though arbitrary twenty four hour
time set aside for guide
ding hand of the supposed/purported
fairer gender, yet human race, yet hide
bound...

In a world where souls seldom intertwine,
Where fate plays tricks, a cruel design
A movie theater is a realm for dreams.
Where reality and fantasy gleam.

Yet in this place of everyday strife,
Our lives merge...

It is at the half 
And the Hammies have not taken a bath 
Due to the rain 
Schedule was changed and that was a pain 
You see the UK had swamps like in Florida 
Delaying...

I woke up it was a sunny day
'Come for breakfast' mom would say,
I freshened up, then made my bed
Put away the books that I had read,
Just another day at school
My ride was here, my friends...

Cruel Sun, heating up the matter,
The ray blades burning up the skin,
But something was holding me strong,
Some Shelter, I was feeling home within,

Flowers abloom, or at least in words,
For rest of the world was a...

Propaganda has stood the test of time
Seeping lies into desperate minds
People jump on bandwagons of hate
Worried and confused about their fate

A less glamorous expression 'fake news'
People don't care, they just want to accuse
With all the...

My psychedelic psyche psyched me out of a relationship I wanted to have.
Before the days of sad, I was flying off neutral emotion.
Coasting through the cosmos on cool.
But I'm no fool, I wanted to connect...

Pacific, pacifist pampered papa
parading par excellent paragon

particularly partisan) parvenu
passive, passionately paternalistically patient,

paunchy, peaceably pepped, perfectionist,
perceptive, perennially perky, permissively
persevering, persistently personable, perspicuous,
pertinent, phenomenally philanthropic, philharmonic

picturesquely pious, pioneering, piquantly pithy,
playfully pleasant, pleasurably plucky, plummy,
poetically poignant,...

are you
disillusioned &
disbelieving &
sick of hearing
about the absence
of choice,
displayed as if there
was some real choice
in the way that things are
run in the
“good ol’ US of A?”---

or do you suddenly
want to be
“part of it?”
think your
vote matters?
well

quickly removing that 
individual pizza for
one
from its box---all psyched for your night
ahead---
a night alone with movies & pizza and your favorite
beverage
&
no one else to demand anything of you---
yes,
a night for you
&
only 
you---
and yet, 
now as...

He stares at her picture, 
the night dark in his room,
his hands are shaking, 
hes phyced out, unsure what to do,
he thinks, what if he looses her,
and looses that adoring, happy look on her face,

In Beijing, China, there’s a sport
That has a mighty pull.
It’s kind of like a bullfight,
But it doesn’t have a bull.

Competitors get special food
Like shrimp, red beans and liver.
For extra treats, a maggot’s
What the trainer will...

A kindergarten memory
I have is very strong
And no one can corroborate
Or prove that I am wrong.

We’re gluing shapes to paper
And two colors we could use.
I look at all the choices
When deciding which to choose.

I proudly...

My grandpa died at 76
My uncle at 67
My grandma passed at 83
At 38 Aunty went to heaven

My poor mom died at 66
The same year as her twin sis
What evil with the bag of tricks
Could be...

I heard my husband say,
Oh, good. You'll be here in forty minutes.
How wonderful!
Yes, the cousins of the cousins were coming.
Less than an hour's notice.
We'd been trying to get them here for ten years.
They had never...

My grandkids are lucky; they’re going to camp.
To them, it’s the summertime norm.
The owners have naturally had to revamp
So to Covid rules they can conform.

Each camp group’s a “pod” with ten kids who’ve been sent
And...

I do not fear death
or grieve my last breath.
I'll leave this physical realm,
to what, I don't know
but I'm psyched to go,
the feeling should overwhelm.

Relinquishing life
for an afterlife
curiosity numbs fear
though life bonds sever.
My soul's forever
and faith...

If I get injured then I will swell
How can you know if you are...

I've had cinnamon and raisin bagels,
I've had my cup of tea,
As today is the day, AGAIN,
That's it for me.

AGAIN, I have to get the tram,
AGAIN, I have to get all...

~ A Passover Tale ~

Four cups of wine
  They say I must drink
I’m getting too old for this
  Don't you think...

But I psyched myself up
  and drank the first cup
The room didn’t...
