Long Snatch up Poems

Let’s talk about it.
The projected disrespected was selected! Yes selected, not by man, but by God.
144, yes, that’s the number it took for Shedeur Sanders to be drafted.

Let’s talk about these NFL owners from the...

We've been riding now, for days
On this dry and dusty plain
Headed to a land, that's never tasted rain
The posse has been thinning out
As men head back to town
So, that just leaves you and me
To track...

I had two cousins Mike and Ike who were air heads that stole
using their slippery butterfingers to snatch up anything in sight. 
They thought they were clever smarties, but one crazy night
they were driving and...

Upon Googling Petco
regarding purchasing gift card
for eldest daughter
(she tends two beautiful female felines)
Petsmart website appeared right and center
innocuously distracting purported intent.

The nearest latter named store
approximately a dozen plus miles away
whereas former specialty shop

The Vikings and Bills, two teams that
share a feat, four trips to the Super
Bowl all ending in defeat.

A feeling of such sadness, that's
hard to put in words, creating deep
emotions, that are violently stirred!

The hope is...

Rodents can be loquacious
That includes your average gerbil
They love to prattle, chat and blather
They really are quite verbal

Hamsters are talkative too
Just as garrulous as can be
With running mouth and wheel to match
They are a sight...

In the desert of my mind
Are nomadic dunes of ineptitude.
I traverse these dunes
Seeking words
Like a thirsting man after water.
My search is slow and ponderous
As my feet sink deeply
Into sands of frustration.
Drops of imagination
Fall from my...

*Been posting some heavy stuff lately. Time for a bit of levity.

"Hey babe, you're never gonna believe this. Crab fishing in Alaska has been cancelled for 2023."

the Zany Zoo
 The awakening of the dawn like a butterfly busting through the cocoon.
The rhino's thyroid condition was exacerbated as the cheetah conflict

I took a stroll through City Market 
Kansas City's cultural queen, with vegetables and flowers
Concrete words leaning against their water buckets.
Old women's hair unnatural colors shining from restaurants

Enough of that, inertia at work here, Kansas...

Tiny Tears dolls and tea sets remind me of my childhood.
My twin always wanted to play with them, for her own good.
Not a girly girl, I was resentful and wanted to be Peter Pan.
Not the...

In the obscurity,
but not such habitual darkness,
with the light dancing
across my moonlit face,
I drift in the wind.
It carefully carries me to the shore;
the waters edge.
My reflection is unbearable.
I don't know who I am anymore. But...

"This is no place for you!"
She woke from a sound sleep.
The message was from her sister.
It had made its way into Pink Faerie's dream.

She looked around.
Bluebird was grinning at her from the other side of...

Ideas begin to percolate
They pop out of me in bubbles
Floating out the window
Stopping traffic
One hesitates
Apparently feels badly.
Changes directions and floats back.
I pop it and reptile, banana, and Grand Canyon fall out.

A blue banana riding a...

Who are these dark angels that cast such shadows
over my laughter.
The brush falls from my hand, now I sketch in charcoal -
teeth gritted.

Wishing to...

A fleeting lapse of confidence before this masquerade
Replays it's ugly monotonous sound, just like yesterday
The sting upon my tear-stained cheek I feel is the last straw
I watch my trembling hand reach out and open up...

Commitment is a permanent show
where love is its harmonic sound. 
I'm not really down with that show
although I will feature the crowd
But somewhere across the stands
I am sitting in wait and in hold. 
The chances are...

Picasso sold only one painting to his brother.
I have sold at least ten to my best friends, maybe fifteen.
So can I die happy?  Not yet.

Never understood Monet’s consistent drawings of tree after tree
