Long Sitcoms Poems

From ashes of Sokovia, a twin sister rose,
With powers of chaos and psionic flows,
Wanda they called her, tethered spirit unfurled,
As women before her, she reckoned this world. 

Her pain born of loss, and hurt tragedy,
Fueled...

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...

It's five o'clock, she checks her watch, at last the work day's done
Her forehead pounds, a coke is found, she gulps two aspirin down
Walking through the parking lot, a cell phone to her ear
Three calls...

The dead want to talk to me about stupid things.
like, does ‘Chick-Fi-A’ still make spicy sandwiches?

I thought the dead could walk through walls
and see our thoughts;
apparently they are all in a dark room
watching old documentaries,
trying...

Only once did my Dad forget
to pick me up when young
while I finished my
job at the grocery store,
and since I didn't have
a phone walked the

with my thoughts all
alone on the pavement

To this day, I can’t tell you why I was so puzzled.
First I put instant oatmeal in my coffee maker;
I made sure I selected my favorite,...

Frantic fans worry about who's going to win the superbowl.
Pundits speculate about politicians prevailing at the poll.

By the way, did you hear that another soldier died today?

You could call it - My potpourri!
It will give other "Soupers", a little glimpse,

I've gambled all my money once,
the feelings keeps tingling me,
every time I throw my self at it
it just takes a hold and flings me off the cliff.

I gambled once, but the taste forever more,

Morning lurks
In dark alleys;
Haze presides

~~~~~~~~~


Sunbeams seep
Hazy skies ruin;
Magical sunlight

~~~~~~~~~


Hazy horizons
Smoky dust drifts;
Moody suspensions

~~~~~~~~~


Moody haze
Depressed moods;
Choking smog

~~~~~~~~~


Gratitude smiles
Lazy afternoon;
Sanguine sitcoms

~~~~~~~~~


My darling smiles
Inner sunshine;
Travel talk here

~~~~~~~~~


Random journeys
Mystery calls;
Cites fond journal

~~~~~~~~~


Micro tales
Short and sharp;
Food for thought

Touch of morning

came an alien that
had the face of a cat.
In his hands he was holding a stun gun!

Pale light pulses, pulling me like a moth
Such a vast plethora beckoning me
Urging to decide what I long to see

You know the ones,
they are usually smiling
and creating some fun,
be it the class clown
or a family member,
a joker at work who
you'll always remember,
Jerry Lewis in the 
Nutty Professor,
Carol Burnett making
fun of commercials,
funny old sitcoms like
"I...

Ties

Ties
Cat peers through my window,
hazy autumn sky behind.
rooftops slumber
helpless in their elegance.

Patterns from a life far behind.
stamp collections,
meals eaten alone, with others
smiling under cover 
of my song.
Overdue library books,
cobwebs swept from corners.
Spider dashes away: 
"No,...

He seems to love the sound of his own voice,
and if he does not get his way, he balks.
A hug from him would make his gal rejoice,
yet little of affection does he give.
For love of...

It’s how I learned to laugh at the moonlight, and reuse reusable things
Save electricity, and like the color yellow.

She’s the woman behind the pearl clip-on earring,
And white cake with butter cream frosting

i've grown weary
of this story
growing
weary
of this frame
oh so weary
of this cosmos
in which I got this name

and I can't remember why I came

I'm fearful for the leaving
can't seem to quit the game
oh how I love this...

You were very pretty and you had fantastic curves.
