Form: Alliteration
A little alliteration by a long shot speaks so loud.
Metaphors muddle my mind
And silly similes stymie the sentence.
A terrible trope takes too much of my time
g Tiberius is my tag and title
My nom de plume is a personal platitude personified
Better *****es badger me with their bared bosoms
A curious cacophony controls my cochlea
Demanding drugs and daffodils
Eventually ephemeral earth will evince my effervescence
Freakin' phantom fear will appear
Had enough, Harry?
Or do you just ejaculate jocularity?
O K - I'll specially spare you the shroud of St. Sebastien
And say Adios, amigo; ta ta to you, see ya, Zebra; good-by, sweety-pie
So long saintly Samuel, take care, Virginia Dare
And that's the way it is, my miz
Amen and au-revoire.
First sky says, Toth faced the reptiles
Just go back and read the tiles
Forever written laid before your eye
The story goes on for miles
Forward to the time of the snake
This is when the story becomes fake
See eye becomes quicker than hand
Now then thee earth really did shake
Ushering the coming of a lamb
This was the time of the Ram
The establishing of the law
A dividing between you and Sam
Now jumping to the time of the fish
The next step in answering your wish
Love each other as you love yourself
Soon they will arise in dish
Heard from the cry of the guns
Entered we have the time of the one
Whosoever can hear me and see me will
Hit the game winning home run grand slam
“Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs. . .”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I found him one November deep in thought
amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs.
By what strange happenstance had I been brought
to him? He was the first man ever to arouse
a thrill I’d never felt so easily!
He looked up at me, and I blinked to see such deep grey.
The grey of that November sky stared back at me.
Those piercing eyes! What were they trying to convey?
He beckoned me to share his bench with him.
I heard inside my head – be wary of a stranger.
My mother’s frequent warnings had been grim.
I backed away, thinking there might be some danger.
A little smile then curved his lower lip.
It hinted of something I’d yet in which to revel.
My chance to ever know? Away I let it slip . . .
for I fled. Was he a darling or a devil?

"How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood"
Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842
I remember my good old childhood days ~
feasting on fresh fruits, playing indoor games,
sharing home made meals - memory that stays!
Calling each other by naughty nicknames,
driving to nearby districts for weddings;
frozen in mind, those indelible frames!
Attending all cottage prayer meetings,
learning to cycle mid falls and bruises,
being on time for thanksgiving greetings;
playing catch with friends, fights and excuses,
watching cartoons, Shaktimaan* episodes;
we were free from worries and abuses!
Family together time at crossroads ~
that's what I recall as flashback implodes.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Quietude
I fail to coerce the pleasures
of the angular hushed cast that
repose near secret abundance,
an army of cloudy measures.
They dance serenely against less
modest logging near its silence
defense, encountering seizure
as my statuesque poise digress.
Overwhelmed, stood diminutive
in a soundless spread of leisure
as a mime wall layout treasures
of a speechless contributive.
The shadowed wall rises and sinks,
as one tongue-tied formed forty winks,
the whole functionality blinks,
an inaudible show methinks.
Tis unbearable to witness,
pray tell my savior cometh to
provoke a feather to fall and
perplexes an analysis.
I reveal my lamentation
of it intuitively stunned,
the fluffiness whisked e'er so soft
facing the wood-grained foundation.
Creating such a disturbance
of natural elements oft
space and time, that its sheer purpose
o'er the grain gave an appearance.
Twas newsworthy, the faintest hint,
proffered my initial imprint,
that the perceptiveness blueprint,
was a micro-captive reprint.

are you smarter than a fifth grader?
I cannot even outthink a road grader.
I am not a professor or super market demonstrator.
Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
I doubt I can put cheese on a cracker, said McFrator.
I am dumber than you are, said his sister, Mater.
I do not even understand how to peel a tomater.
This tickled our friend, Samuel McFrator.
Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
They asked of a passing escalator.
The escalator got persnickety said Crater.
She stuck up her nose and walked off with Slater.
Slater is a friend who is way dumber than a fifth grader.
He once lost a chess contest with a road grader.
We are losers said McFrator, Crater, Slater and Mater.
The escalator yelled “You are all dumber than a fifth grader!”
As the sounds of war loudly roar
The thoughts of Freedom began to soar
For on that day of infamy
It changed the course of history
They didn’t ask to be attacked
But patriotism became a well know fact
With Peril Harbor still fresh on their minds
Young and old stood in long enlistment lines
So off to war these soldiers gladly went
To distant lands where they were sent
In Europe where the German’s raged
Eisenhower began to set the stage
Just before the breaking of the dawn
The seas were cold and breaking strong
Below the deck of the great Samuel Carroll battleships
A solemn prayer came from humble soldier’s lips
For On this cold and blistery June D-day
What unknown adventures, what grievous price to pay
They cleaned their rifles, down below
To France’s land where they should go
On this day, upon those treacherous shores
To battle them who start the wars
They came of every race the mingled swarm
In proud defiance to withstand a deadly storm
Americas' hero’s shown in pristine glory
And to write Freedom's worthy story
For on these shores and lapping waves
Came the spirits of America’s brave
Some gains were made at heavy human cost
The price is high, but not, if Freedom’s lost
These soldiers’ knew not if they would survive the day
Their prayerful thoughts of loved one’s far away
Up and down this cursed blood filled coast;
Two-thousand lifeless bodies gave the most
They paid the price for freedoms sake
With salt tears, let us not their sacrifice forsake.
It was in eighteen eighty-six in the streets of Chicago,
where the greatest miscarriage of justice people would know
transpired in an infamous labor-police rendezvous.
Albert Parsons led eighty thousand people on revue.
The strikers marched down Chicago’s Michigan Avenue.
The Knights of Labor were sponsors for the work stoppage venue.
Demands for shorter work hours and no child labor were made.
This would be regarded as the world’s first May Day parade.
Thousands nationwide would join in with the activities
In the next few days, the striking workers stopped whole industries.
On the third, some strikers and police engaged in melees.
These actions resulted in two ill-fated fatalities.
The struggles also caused some severe hideous injuries.
The fights took place at the McCormick Harvester Company.
Many held the police for murderous culpability.
Organizers from the Knights of Labor held a mass rally
at the Haymarket in Chicago’s West Loop vicinity.
They would assemble there in the early part of May.
Thousands crowded there peacefully on the month’s fourth day.
Leaflets were passed noting the police for murder to the crowd
as anarchists urged the mobs to join forces and shout aloud.
A bomb thrown at the police catalyzed an altercation.
One officer was killed and others hurt in the explosion.
Matthias Degan was the officer fallen in duty.
Seven other policemen died later from an injury.
The police opened fire on the people immediately.
At least eleven of the strikers were shot at fatally.
Eight men stood trial for the death of police officer Degan.
They were Parsons, August Spies, George Engel, Samuel Fielden,
Adolf Fischer, Louis Lingg, Michael Schwab, and Oscar Neebe.
All eight were tried and found guilty by a judge and jury.
Neebe got fifteen years; the others got the death penalty.
Schwab and Fielden were commuted to life; then got clemency.
Lingg took his own life before his scheduled execution.
The remaining four men were hanged in public exhibition.
Since then, there have been enacted many labor reform laws
The men who died are considered martyrs to a noble cause.

"How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood"
Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842
standing on the window of my friend’s house,
we let childhood imaginations loose,
fairy tale of gods demons we espouse.
grassland with myriad flowers to choose,
dragonflies, butterflies to play and chase,
Jack farmer’s friendly talking sheep and goose!
our dreams had wings, no reality base,
killed enemy warriors in brave fight,
our weapons were satchels or pencil case!
however night saw the fall of our might,
with darkness crept out our deep inner fear,
close to mother we stayed, hiding our fright!
life was full of love, yet purpose not clear,
good old childhood days will always be dear!
