Long Snoozed Poems

At the final stroking of saint Halloween eve, it seems not so long ago,
That my trusty SUV, transport vehicle unceremoniously broke down,
Right outside the local pet cemetery, what a marvelous place to
Spend the spookiest night...

Annabelle Albatross’s amazing aquatics astound audiences at Atlantic airshows.

Bill Beaver’s barrel-rolling barely bumps bobbing buoys.

Crustaceans crowd cramped coves.  Charlie Crab cowers, camouflaged creatively.

Dennis Dolphin dives deeply dragging down desirable delicacies.

Elegant electric eels electrify everything....

Shannon watched a royal wedding
one afternoon on the TV,
the flowers, coaches, and garlands,
all the pomp and majesty,
the fancy gowns and ornate hats,
black-tie suits that fit handsomely,
noble steeds pulling carriages,
in her minds arose fantasies…

She saw herself...

He was the last of his kind and it was known.

Some dated him one hundred years and he had style.

Christmas was his time and the rest...

Yesterday, I happened upon a quaint, old-time country store.
I felt I was reliving my youth as I trod its squeaky wooden floor!
The sights and smells were familiar when I entered the door.
Memories flooded my soul...

My daughter had been sickly for a time
The flu, they said, her health will shortly climb
A few days later came the call we dread
I'll ne’er forget the words the doctor said:

"We got your daughter's blood...

As the 
story
goes...

A
pesky
fly, 
came buzzing by
to rest and munch
and eat his lunch
and have some fun
on the hound dog's 
nose.

The old dog
snoozed 
without a clue
in the noontime heat
of the August
sun.

He
napped
awhile
by piles of leaves
in dappled shade

Dexter John, baby calf was tuckered, he had been playing all day.
He laid down in the Kansas grass, brown enough to be harsh hay.
His fifteen-year-old human cousins picked him up without a peep.
Placed him in...

Many may doubt you
And think they really know about you

Continually trying to clown you
Because they want to drown you


Getting frustrated when they don't know how to
Outdo

What becomes now new
Eventually is considered old, and either scarce...

For in the morning dew,
a freshness I see.
When through the open window cold air gushes in,
some kind of positivity it brings.
The rising sun, the brand ambassodor of hope,
brings about a new cheer to life.

In the...

I woke up this morning and snoozed the clock,
Rewound the dream, that seemed so true.
And it came as no surprise,
Yes, I dreamt about you.

Your laughter still rang in my ears
The look in your eyes, spoke...

Stranded on the road again
With a pack of cigarette and jar of wine 
And a snoozed up box and a leaked tank
In a cold-desert known as end of the world
My heart scampers for a soul...

Morning 

Morning is not for the morning glory
Morning is not for morning after pills,
Morning is not for the sound of birds
From trees to cold freezes, 
Morning is not for the Alarms 
Snoozed, snoozed and snoozed...

Little Bear parents argued about where he would hibernate this year.
He wished they would be nice to each other, this was not dear.
Since their separation, they had turned mean and sour with each other.

Once rice plants in golden
frocks danced on my lap. 
And I was proud.

Now the weeds dry my
veins.

Once reapers, bending like
the sickles, lulled me with
their bucolic songs. And I
 snoozed under the paddy
 fragrance.

Now I wake...

I’m Fine and Other Lies

By Elton Camp

Many of the words we say
In truth, aren’t at all that way

When a stranger we greet
“I’m very happy to meet”

“Your mother’s always welcome here”
When a visit is inevitable from...

A playful brant swam on the pollen-dabbed lake.

A dipper perched on a dog-wood tree so dazzling and aromatic,
he neither decided to stay nor go although his companions were gone;
he had a white head and gray...

I missed the morning wake-up call
The clock alarm, I snoozed right through
I missed the bus rolling past the mall,
that was to take me to my job interview

Out of sync,
out of step with time
Not in rhythm,
stuttering...

I remember it was this day 21st of June 
I sauntered into a famous furniture mart.
They have developed a hotel type room. 
They offer the customers a unique feel.
 
With advance free booking for two...

You've endured pain
I cannot fathom
Your heart stained
Gut wrenching spasm

For once, I admit
I have no words
Nothing to spit
But useless curd

The anger has oozed
In my direction
I should have snoozed
Gave back affection

These words have meaning
The knife runs deeper

A possum fell in love with a 'coon
And they spooned by the light of the moon
In pet igloo they snoozed
cause the cat took a cruise,
they hoped he wouldn’t come home too soon!

Well, Ole Blackie the...
