Long Shoot straight Poems

Anguish. Elation. Say it once again!
Just for the sake of hearing a feeling's name,
and the long drawn out sigh
of sounds echoing out of breath, out of breath,
out...

HARRY THE BREAKER
Harry galloped through the Mulga           (13% protien animal tucker)
On a game horse Bunga Din
The Brumbies galloping on Tolga
Were yarded with a grin
Every station...

June 01/1916
So it’s off to war!  
By they were glad  
Singing and whistling a tune every lad
With a swing of their arms 
and a smile on their lips
And a shine in their eyes
For...

Salesman:	“Can I help you? Yes sir. Yes Sir!

		We lift you up through time and space!”

Percy laughed at death
and the Grim Reapers sickle missed him..

In the great scheme of life, many choices you make,
Where to work, who to date, your yard when to rake.

The game of hearts is not quite the same,
Who you love and end up with, is...

Don’t know about you, but I think it’s stupid
To give lethal weapons to a diapered Cupid
(and what happens when he’s gotta go?)

See his soft feathered wings?
 (Those fat little things!)
They flutter fast as he flies...

I once made a man see stars, read the state 
of his synthetic, wrinkled suit back to him,
I watched as it melted.
 
Served him the world on a mirror—
Cracker Barrel plate of desire, he said.

You got your gun there on your hip.
You got your tin star pinned there on your vest.
You got your hat pulled way down low
Yet your heart beats fast there in your chest.
Because before you stands...

Do as I say not as I do
Made muddy mistakes you don’t want to

Trying to be strong
Walking licorice line
Doing red rights white wrongs
Paint purple...

If her pain serves to please you
She is all out of words
If her joy won’t amuse you
Her trust will be reserved
She’s begun to realise
That she’s not all at fault
Deep beneath those hate-filled words
She sees your...

“Expresso Shot”

He drank tibetan milk tea 
from his saucer
like a cloistered munk 

his conversation 
was hushed and tinctured 
with fountains of try-too-hard satire 

he spoke softly 
and quite fast 
like a panther doing laps

a surprise...

I am wrong again
been so, once or twice before
I can tell ya the truth
although it may hurt

Awakened by a rooster
Going cock-a-doodle-doo
Was not quite the booster
I was looking forward too

Was time I rise and shined
As I have so much to do
To find some peace of mind
I will find somebody true

My mornings are...

No! not about pits
they’re removed
the fruit sliced.
ugly in effigy —

the air turns
their innards
burnt orange.

their rainier skin
scarred and pale —
tasty or not.

i’d rather them red
and plump, but
skinny enough
to fit into
the pitter

and for the pits
to shoot straight
out

Mr. Cupid

Mr. Cupid take a shot.
Love is something I have not.
Bend you bow, aim for the heart.
Ignite the flame that needs to start.

Mr. Cupid search the street.
Find a suitable match to meet.
He should be aged,...

The stars shoot straight, no curve balls, they light us up,
we feel the silver bullets ricocheting inside our eyes,
even when they are closed.

There's is no such thing as low caliber starlight,
they are, a million light...
