Long Snoozing Poems

Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
And sadly...i start to drive.
Through the unremarkable village with its tall 
Georgian Bay window panes, lightless,
devoid of visages; outwardly staring back at my 
Abject countenance with detached contempt and...

Impossible mission to sleep on opposite side of marital bed...

Oddly enough even 
when frolicking in the autumn mist
with seasoned super tramping 
cheaply tricked out goo goo dolls
some resembling Indigo Girls,
one foo fighting beastie boy
unable to...

You should have a getaway, my friends all said,
They said I earned it, so why sit home instead?

A real vacation would be the nicest thing yet;
Go see the peachiest scenery you'll never regret!

I listened very...

'Twas the night before Christmas and all were asleep,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a sheep.
The cattle were snoozing, the pigs were at rest
And the chickens were settled asleep on the nest.

Apart from some...

owing to your mind’s addictions

I understand you more or less

The most pregnant event that occurred...
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
recorded July sixth nineteen sixty
upon birth of she who doggedly 
pursued me to the ends of the earth
and what not take no as an answer.

Unbeknownst to yours truly

The day had dawned with the sunrays pouring through my window,
I saw myself scratching my head,
Since the number of gripping ideas in my brain amounted to zero.

I had been asked to compose something-- which will...

Because of Selector

sun streaming through
the window nearest our bed . . .
my love’s golden hair

I am awakened by bird song. What a beautiful start to a brand new day. Having wakened before my darling, I gaze at...

The long road to nowhere.


My thoughts are like a box of frogs;
The top comes off and they are all gone.
I have no control over all of that which I have lost.
In separate directions my life...

Navigating the immense void of night
The right ascension to a winter’s sky;
Coincides with the height from which I stood 
Stars, interlinking crescendo’s so freely,
Imitate the centuries, as I presumed as much.

At least with one tuned...

We set sail as Reggae music played out on the Lido.
Our first night was casual; no need for tuxedo.
We could eat a pizza by the Windows On the Sea
or go beneath and dine on shrimp...

Judy awoke early this cool morning
and climbed out of her soft warm bed;
quietly she moved without a warning
and was gone before anyone was fed.

Judy had long, blonde, curly hair, 
eyes as green as the deepest...

So Dog Gone Tired Today...
May 20th, 2021

Like a fly without his/her buzz
even popping a guarana (caffeine) does
not shake the feeling
like brain covered with fuzz

no matter how hard I try eyelids claps
shut nor how many hours...

The Waiting Room

The April weather shifted high to low,
Exposing those early clout casters
To the concluding bite of winter;
Footsteps full of foreboding
Trudge their last legs up the inclined driveway
To the Doctor’s old house.
A hotchpotch of chairs...

OLD AGE PAINS

(In Loving Memory of my Mother.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Old journal book soiled by life's pains;
Aged ugly looks, pages and stains;
Old people hooked to sad refrains.


Here in this room old odours cry;
Feel the sad gloom where unease...

Twenty fifth of December, three thousand and four
and already I'm down in the dumps
we're round at the neighbour's via tubes that save labour
propelled by some hydraulic pumps.
We've exchanged all our presents and got them unwrapped

What if the ears of the world were functioning 
Maybe that would have prevented it from slumbering
Snoozing in it very daylight stupidity 
Unveiling the barrier to save humanity. 
Unified in fighting against poverty
And not to...

How I weave fancies around my dream date
If time could satisfy some of my whims,
I would, like a sprightly fawn, hop and jump
Jubilant, jocular, joyous, and juvenile!
      
Between the departing...
