Long Rumps Poems

The Killing Field”

Ariana nodded, tremolo fingers,
and they ran across the killing field,
watching the steel-toed kite ascend—
a fleeting instant of triumph in the vacuum.
Josh scoffed as it dipped,
both caught in the pull of the abyss,

You had that future retro look:  two thousand seventeen,
There was a slow and sultry permanence, a little slouchy lean
As you eased out of the taxi before it shot off to the right,
Who could have...

It was enough to say things can be made better

We embarked on an adventure
That was quite quixotic
A scientific dream quencher
Searching for exotics

We started where we thought made sense
Out on the sunning docks
Where perhaps there’d be an immense
Native Great White Butt Ox

We packed all of...

Homey eyes of peasant stew
A cozy-colored mossy mew
Stony cottage, snowcheeks bleu
The forest fins for frosted fruits.

The warmest thought speaks crumbly bread
A partridge purr puffs through my head
That grants the grunkest grue a ‘Get!’
To packrat out...

They called out "Nutmeg'" hurry up,
Fred is onstage and doesn't want another flop,
I'd been taking dancing lessons overnight,
hoping my under eye bags wouldn't cause too much fright,

Fred in his usual top hat and tails,
while I...

Dear Ma and Pa:  I'm now a proud United States Marine!

Have you ever seen a duck come in to land… on land
It’s an eventuality that nature never planned
For ducks that land on water such a graceful splashdown make 
But should they land on terra firma…...

SEXINESS

Knowing me as a sensitive and caring person,
What I find sexy, as you may have suspected,
(Although by rationalizing the situation it will only worsen)
Is based on real  people with whom I have been connected

kids are all tested
on reading writing and arithmetic

trade workers are tested
to ensure they know what standards fit

industrial and institution leaders are tested

Like ladies and gentlemen, and walk out into the hall.
There's no running allowed in the halls
Or the teacher will send us straight to the principal's...

Rough night, sleepless night 
Waiting anxiously for my change to come 
Though without any redemption at sight 
Yet I still wait until my change comes 

Resting my rumps, peckish and famished 
Scared of the dark,...

Asinine 
The Poem 

Spit and glue
Tape on glasses
Lace on wrinkled rumps 
Lipstick on lizards
Ants in bee-hives
Parties in the cemeteries
Toothfairy bank robbers
Dunces in libraries.

Rhymes on caution signs
Large Letters for the deaf 
and hearing aids for the...

Those condescending Royals in their pristine
garden, primp and preen among the other flowers.  
Their porcelain pale skin so fragile; they make
a wide berth, around me. I feel like a thorn
in their flesh, an oddity...

FLICK PROPHETIC FINGER 

Knocking hard on a massive ancient gate,
Step out of a gaunt, granite building,
Leave behind its austere contents,

With wood-panelled box-seats,
Pinching sardine-tight orthodoxy's rumps,
Say farewell to enforced isolation,
Corralled within a pulpit-facing pew,

Flick prophetic finger...

I came to thee by the Rumbum tree,
when you were the height of the grasshopper's knee,
Came a trumping sounded as a fruit fell free,
landing with a splat, rumbumbly bee!

Well you could not believe your eyes!

yet it was something else
something we never knew

conceived thru togetherness

would create a togetherness
from her need of mine and hers

The moon, a charcoal smudge, hangs low and dim,
while stars, like pinpricks, pierce the black night.
Clicking crickets creates a raucous hymn,
and katydids whir on new wings to take flight.

A yellow bulb's honeyed glow makes a...

Back to the city we go
We leave you winter ghosts
To sway away on your hanger hosts
Until next year or never more

It depends on my poor dad
If he can dress himself
Next spring
Still in his UAW gear.
