Long Quarrelsome Poems

Don’t make fun of me
Don’t laugh at me
Don’t jeer at me
Don’t scream at me
Don’t cry out for me
Don’t call out my name
Don’t tell me that I’m lame
Don’t tell me lies…my High Spirit shies…
Away from the...

Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!

Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid...

Death...death...like a cold, distant fog
it looms over these beings
these frail human beings, myself included
attacking their defenseless, quarrelsome - filled minds
like ravenous carnivores sprinting upon their prey
I've counted three, thrice has death sent for the reaper

let every old woman with a wrinkled face,
she should be aware,she lives in disgrace,
a furrowed brow,hairy lip and single tooth,

To get knowledge, values, principle and love.

The wonders of the world,

The clouds barrel into the pools of blue, crashing into golden sunlight streaks piercing through the sky,
A canvas of colour full of shades you cannot clarify,
As it floats by just above...

Sunday and Not One Car

Sunday, in the church parking lot was not one car.
The clouds were overcast and heaven seemed so far.

Looking around confused and wondering, dread struck.
Remembering the rapture, fearing the havoc.

I had tried...

You will never know the language of 
lilac and lavender
carved from discarded countertop 
granite for you,

each symbolic crossing inching 
forward a leaden trail 
of footfalls grown heavy by distance 
measured from their genesis,

their sum, in...

Sometimes fate's embrace is laced with tough love
offering stern hugs from above & its intimate
kisses never miss their mark
Some leave you scarred from birth & left
wondering who arranged this stark date
with destiny
At times the best...

Alas ample alliteration available?!

True (terrific) title: Trump's truckling tutored troopers...;
wily word wizard worried,
where world wide web wickedly wends.

Triumphantly tenaciously (try to) trample treacly
traffickers target timid testifiers traducing,
their traitorous tractable toxic troglodyte:
today transition toward
totalitarianism tidily trends.

all automatic alligators arrive arrogantly
barely behave beautifully but brazenly
carousing with creepy cruddy crocodiles
desperately denying despicable wiles
effectively expediting expediency
forever forsaking fruit flies who flee
glaring at grazing gritty grouses
hijacking horrific herbivore’s handy houses
igniting ingenious iguanas in I-o-Way
jubilantly...

Oh how very earnestly pleasing
I do so find
The wide, sun splashed avenues
Of grand residential Worthing;
Where the old poets
Announce each and every corner;
So neatly squared and turned
By thoroughly conceived Victorian
Order.

Quiet sonnets reside here
Seeking haven from weary...

cleverly concealed, contrived

for faithful forever forest firs
giving giant gusts gorgeous guesses
however hardy hemlock heralded heavy happiness

juxtaposed joyous jumping jiggly junipers
