Long Puce Poems

I remember the night of our anniversary so vividly.
Cyril, who locals call 'Cyril the Squirrel' because he's such a miser, 
had just taken a seat at the next table with his date Muriel, the local...

Classical infusion Beethoven’s “ode to joy”
Playing on blaring audiophile speakers annoy 
Purposely looped to destroy vagrants with electronic music
Blends of subversive elements and anxious acoustic 
Solution to loitering the bodega doo dropping
Spicy Shiitake broth smelling...

Mum sat in her aromatic garden,
admiring its charm and grace.
It was a cold morning,
but mum never seemed to feel it any more.

Her eyes were tired, life's adversities had taken their toll,
yet the smallest things filled...

‘Twas the night before Christmas with peace all around
Reindeers were sleeping there wasn’t a sound
When all of a sudden a shriek could be heard
Rudolph was cursing, with shocking swear words

Dear Rudolph was always the perfect...

Vegans and Vegaterians 
Half-baked lies and friendly flies , is what most poor people eat. 
Lemon drops and candy and choclate kisses aer too sweet. 
Eye eat MEAT.I like the burgers AND the dogs,

A professor of difficult sums
Who led a simple and useful life
Till he met Big Bertha from Beverley
And took her to be his wife.
It was a convention of difficult sums 
On the logistics of long haul
Followed...

I accidentally let one loose -
I was tipsy and had no excuse
It happened at the rare breed’s zoo
When I decided to cuddle a cute kangaroo

As I crept into the fenced off enclosure
I struggled to maintain...

 Continued from Part 2 


Some kid is spraying Clearasil,
He wants to make his pimples nil;
He paints his breath with chlorophyll;
I’m in the dream of someone ill

I’m fleeing but I feel a goose,
Behind me grins...

Yo baby, show lots of skin.
Sexy, trashy girly glams,

Terra cotta, craggy rocks
Scattered boulders, building blocks
In shades of sienna, ochre, buff
To form this high and hilly bluff
With sunlit ledges thin and wide
Place for hyraxes to sun and hide

Cerulean, azure, clearest blue
The cloudless sky that...

On my work desk there is a junk pile of career dolls,
A pile of papers, and one that oftentimes falls.
Along with an enormous empty blue water cup,
Stapler, scotch tape, stuffed animals, a little pink pup.

Very similar to something from my past perhaps a large wooden plantation

A man with no fingers
waves his fingers at me.
My third day of amoebic dysentery
and though my yellow eye
can see, they see what they choose to.

The guy is not a feverish delusion,
he comes to my house

It’s Jubilee tea at my auntie’s care home
Aunt Phyllis’s hair could do with a comb
But she doesn’t mind and puts on her hat
The queen won’t be there’s no need to flap

I shall be Monday and blue.
I’ll be a morning with a greyish hue.
I’ll be a short spell of afternoon rain.
I’ll be all rubbish on telly again.

I shall be Tuesday and cream.
I’ll be a quick wake-up...

This world will never know me, who I am 
within my core.

It seems as if superficial expressions leave nothing to explore.

So, no one ever comes to rap upon 
my door.

Through a window in my heart...

Fast is the train
Fast are the wheels
Wheels are round
Wheels are solid
Solid is metal
Solid is rusty
Rusty is puce
Rusty is deteriorating 
Deteriorating is atrocious
Deteriorating is occurring 
Occurring in ancient paper
Occurring in my head
Head is large
Head is hurting
Hurting...

Do silence them
Do prick the mortal flesh
Spin a web in what they bleed
And chain them to the garden gate

Maidens of the high teas
Casting a tower of pollution
The thick smoke clinging to the inside
Of a cautious...

The vermillion sunset has long dissipated 
Over the marine  persimmon horizon afar.
In the deep subterranean silence of the charcoal night.
Obfuscation confuses the illogical mind,
And conjures titanium dreams...

Great Spirit whispers on breathing breeze; 'It is time',
puce plume in saffron noon signals hunt's aborning,
ThunderBeasts' harrowing hooves erupt Great Plains grime,

On display, million dollar vessel in canal's sunk tide
Tucked away, among mangrove mud clotted denial
Puce pearl oily oyster tender is tenebrous, enduring
Glorified twilit stygian tomb stratum, fruit forbidden

 
Subtly shell punctured soluble beach, myriad shards
Enigmatic...

There was a time that you had died
Could not sustain and how I cried
I blamed your God who gave you life
Took it away and gave me strife

Majestic is decay in the house of bloom, they call it - Miner’s pub,
A puce bottle was replaced with a very cold pint
In it the Hoptopod, one of a kind!
Dwarfs trotting, serpents curling, pale vampires...
