Long Sitcom Poems

Walking from the horrid old motel, and out into the smaze, 
a suffocating day, worsened now, by a mocktail shade of smog
in mockumentary proportions, she flounders in a fog.
Too dazed by crazy sitcoms that seem...

the heavens had fallen 
woe coiled about the earth

one foot in the past the other on the gas

What but ‘warmth’ speaks of ‘love’ to a child, to the aged,
Warmth all poems convey (that get launched from tome’s heart?)
I pray love gets displayed, found in stranger filled room
That you aren’t fishing for when...

the serene people whose ease of manner
once made him yearn and confabulate
are laughable cartoonish and piteous now

as his last breath left his scarred throat
feral hand closing his own eyes

"And Today's Special is Wine and Cheese" 

Some wine and cheese  

If you would please  

Depressed, I cannot express myself for I’m being oppressed and repressed  

Yet, I reside in the west,...

We are in the age of raging time,
rhyme and reason down the drain
 with our coffee grinds,
quick views and videos, terror on the tubes,
smart-mouths cursing
between commercials
repeating Breaking News.
Find somehow a parking place,
stand in line, glazed...

Like a fish out of the water

you caught me by surprise

and

my mind a continual motion machine

perpetuates my nervousness

and endorphins

push through my veins like

an excitatory Water Park.

Initially when I began to speak to you it was...

Only my saviors childs are the this worlds capture
We sinners live to see the rapture
It was something more than a catastrophe
My conscience steadily asking me
Is the plan still to live life severe and disaster free?

she might have been beautiful
I'll never know
she might have been the best mother ever
Again, I'll probably never know
no bruises, no witnesses
did she lurch out in screams 
as you handed her the grief of your business

He was a friend of Beaver Cleaver,
Sort of chubby, awkward, cute
When they aired a show reunion quite a few years back,
June was elderly and Ward was dead,
And the kids were recognizable but clearly middle-aged.
They said...

I drink my root beer
with soggy fries
soiled buns
Hamburg runs
while watching the tube
in an unsightly nude
give me a Draft or an A&W glass
sitting in this position, it hurts my advancing Ass

By committing to nothing, one retains infinite options.
I have hid inside these words for moons and seasons and New Year’s toasts.
The lone wolf roams fertile pastures unfettered.
The thrill of the hunt.
The chase.
An empty bed is...

I'm trying a brand new recipe



that is claimed to be delishful.



Fresh beans with hue of grue



with butter pat and bacon fat melded.



I served it to my family



 and waited for the praises

By condo fence
Bird choir melody;
Song of July


Marriage banquet
Hosts in finery;
Guests and feast sparkle


Gratitude speaks
Spilling fond banter;
Bride and groom delight


Distant laughter
Prompts curious eyes;
Ears on the prowl


See moments crisp
Potato chips tasty;
TV sitcom drama 


Evening comes around
Rare red...

unless this time it’s wrong
and this time is not like all the others

too much at risk
no room for error

I reckon I'm revealing my age when about radio days I pen,
But I fondly recall listening to our Philco radio 'way back then.
What wondrous tales, mysteries and pure comedy from it flowed,
By simply tweaking the...

It was a staggering night. 
A bruised but honorable knight
An empire at its height
An entrapped and bloody victim
Just more real life, not a sitcom 
It was the passing of a great king 
The mourning as...

stagnant and muffled voices are stirring
like a music box wound up not stop
refuge sought from a whirling daunted world 
of which smoke of disgrace hovers over

tongues lashing out at one another

Falling leaves
Wind blown wafers;
Hidden message

Old tree speaks
Ancient thoughts linger;
Unheard echoes

Teary rain drops
Earth embraces fall;
Floral blossom chorus

Small toddler
Walks and stumbles;
Loving hands stand guard

Old lady struggles
Heavy groceries;
No helping hand

~~~~~~~~~


By this pathway
Fatigue takes a break;
Stone bench lull

A nasty...
