Long Repeater Poems

A world of darkness that's a void of emptiness inside
A bottomless pit that has no end as you fall deeper
A wall of shame showing past regrets you cover and hide
A waterfall of sadness and sorrow...

I could find in all of my short childhood,
No umbrellas around our neighborhood;
Farm-workers used palm leave woven structures,
That resembled head-gears said in scriptures...!

Our school lay less than a kilometer,
Rain torrents in June were true repeater;
Books...

RECORDS OF PAST HISTORY



The past wasn’t all that great and the so-called “achievements” - say - 
Of the past pale when we compare them to our capabilities today.

Egyptians built  the fearsome Great  Pyramid...

We’re gonna grow you,

slop you and slow you...

Just as the moles do-

in and out of holes,

in and out of food.


What did I just brew?

Where are my hands on the shelf?

Clearing out the pastries like the...

It's a blessing when through spiritual eyes you can see; if not all, but some of the nasty games and tricks played to take your mind by the enemy. 
Nothing that he does is new,...

It is unfathomable, I say.
Chance, the village repeater, says, “UnFAM-IT-BLE!” and smiles at me. 
Louder than I was, but with more feeling.
I cringe, pre-seeing how this village meeting might unfold.
“Incomprehensible!” I announce, watching for eye...

count on it...

that numbers made the world
we came to believe
after all ten digits 
long ago ran out
and we stuck our toes into the fray
to count and be counted anyway

and they too ran out
a foot at...

"Never Settle"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Never settle for disrespect
Because that's exactly what you will get
Never settle for inferiority
Because, of all, that's the worst sorority
Never settle for the player's game
Because, at most, all you could ever...

They Say He’s A Loser

They say he’s a loser and repeater
But he ignores them and stays in battle
He’s really a brave army and trooper
For him, to die for homeland is noble.

He keeps on going to...

a lot of his brilliant ideas getting patented by others who had a bank run,

Peter met Rita
He was so pleased to meet her
They went on a date, so Peter could treat her
On the date, Peter challenged Rita to a game of cards 
(He thought he could beat her)
In the...

(Lines on a visit to a repeater station)


See it
stretching to the sky
contained in a cloud
Jacob's ladder grows from the ground.
What angels in overalls
and rubber extremities
periodically  climb on missions
to the great lightmaker above?
Spreadeagled, its feet
are...

German resistance well-noted within prison encampment
Rambunctious brood neath an underground network
Erasing traces under so-called watchful eyes
Allied soldiers, hundreds to gain freedom
Together with a few arduous laborers

Escapee repeater joins the group
Smart-aleck, a wisenheimer
Cyclist, a real daredevil
Against...
