Long Snivel Poems

An essence heard a heartfelt plea
meek, unconfident, not familiar
"Should I bother anymore? Please guide me."
His words hardly mist....
a response slices the scene
     with the speed of a guillotine.

skittering over the asymmetrical

It is the awakening.
After long dreamless sleep,
my mother has lot to explain,
in labor pains, aunt and her,
passing by the dark thick shinny woods,
my time has come to born! ! !
Through endless cycles of night and...

How can human deal with all the other animals with a sense of indisputable superiority? What makes them keep mollycoddling the mean motive of extracting from other animals as much as possible while paying little...

Oh you know the type—
the orchid woman

a cosmopolitan who cosmo sips
between snips of gist
her charisma a starship —collides
with your star-full eyes
supernova for Casanova
her pouty lips knit a glamour-mag smile 
rows of sugar-white pearls
strung shiny straight
behind...

Every time I get happy
the Nana-Hex 
comes through.
A dog's canines 
change into chainsaws,
toothpicks turn into knives,
coral reefs diverge into dirty sponges,
a sandcastle into a mausoleum,
a soldier-ant burrows deeper
into my borrowed grave,
reveille trumpets tap 
a tip-toed...

don't trust anybody
information should be free
well your face
your numbers
your stolen identity
the reason you cant get a credit card
how many people selling themselves to cash in
sold the lies of sex and drugs on parade
stop the charade

War

The

Waiting

Some

While

STAMPEDE

Beneath the moon’s pale, a requited glow,
A hyperbolic crowd begins to grow.
The sphere is aired with fear and haste,
A storm of bodies, my qualms displaced.

A million cry, a sudden shove,
To venerate order, stripped of love.
Feet...

First you lemming sway to the left,

No straight talk movement is motive necessary

Now a-moral slug limbo very Dixie Antebellum low ...

While kicking back one night, with nothing better to do; 
I started to wonder how it would feel, to get my first tattoo? 
I asked my friend how it would feel, and he answered me...

Hear the muttered snivel of our kids  
Puked away to gloom, twinge and disease 
Wrecked by creeds
To fulfill an antique mores 
Whose ruin is beyond scientific darn 

See the boulevards and the creeks ...

Tombs for teeth stuck out 
On stocks overhanging
A trembling lower lip the
Impression of permanent snivel
Impeding would-be normal childish speech
Should such a thing ever have been desired

Passionately pleading 
Dark brown eyes - doe I think they’d...

Sunlight Cascading Into Flamboyant Shades,

Lives emerge and unite in Cacophony.

An Eerie silence, a glare and a Ripped feeling,

Is this what I Embody and Signify to you??

 

 

The Jealousy to Possess the Moments with you,

Poets aren't noted for raking in dough,
They may get some attention,
But it's mostly for show.
Take, for example, the bard Ogden Nash,
His writing brought him great pleasure,
But he still worked to earn cash.
From mail room to...

Of Whine and Cheese
by M. Griswold

To whimper and snivel a little if you please,
Is like a small bit of old whine and cheese.
It will get you just as far as begging on your knees
and you...

The prettiest, piteous, pompous, chick,
A hideous, devious, worst than sick,
Weak but slick, sneakily obvious,
Suspicious yet ambitious, cautiously quick,
Treat yet trick, easily malicious,

Strain to obtain the mundane matter,
Faint from pain of abstaining chatter,
Blabber and flattered by...

The beckoning sun calls out today
To come out and play and be happy
With things that sting like fire
Scorpions, cinders, and barbed wire

I knew such a fence once in the wild
Good memories of being a child

DEMETER CRIES

Sun in center and white wings around
The hundred florae in one stem, cheated; 
My daughter never knew t’was him.
The fragrance was sweet but toxic.
His chariot stood with black steed.
And he took her away to...

Why are you so grumpy?
Pray, what made you so?
What gave rise to those dark eyes,
and snivel on your nose?

Why are you so grumpy?
-Don't give me the charade!
I see through that bright red nose,
upon that white...

Hugging my knees as I talk to your ghost,
You rock the chair I cannot see you in.

Charming I am,  
helpful in many  ways.
Articulate is what I strive for,

Here is my new missive!
Wake up negative!
Don't learn from past mistakes,
Greater mistakes you can make!
Use any grand failure,
To give up! In Australia,
We'll smoke our vegetables,
Get negative, all you people,
Just give up!
Suck it up!
Fill your half...

Drivel and
snivel or
swivel the words
to trivialize
the lies
and semantic games
played in the names
of citizens like ... Joe.

Pronounce 
to pounce
and renounce
an opponent
in a smear word war waged
beneath our collective contempt.

Like the proverbial
snake with the pernicious
forked tongue,
they speak
