Long Spaceman Poems

Raisin liked to make her bed upon a shelf up high
She said she likes the feeling that she’s almost in the sky
One day she fell and bonked her head and Rum could only stare
And wondered...

It’s heading for our planet at ten thousand miles an hour
To stop it all the experts say we haven’t got the power
All the nukes in all the world won’t constitute a plan
So someone said, ‘All...

When you find a marble in your hand or head
(And you will because it will be roundish)
Hurl it immediately at humans to get attention           ...

A Strange Man from a Far Distant Star.


A strange man from a far distant star;
Comes to teach us, to show us the future.
To show us a new direction, a new path to follow;
To stop us...

I've cried the tears ...
I've suffered the years ...
I've tasted the fears ...
Of a spaceman hurtling through the void
Loneliness grows daily on the inside,
as I continue this autopilot ride
to the other side of the sun
This...

When DNA shunted a tad to the right
And the very first man got his very first sight
Of his chimpanzee brothers, less upright, less tall 
With rocks preselected he bludgeoned them all

Man’s earliest crime from man’s...

Get Out of My Face!

What brought all of that on?
Award?  This is not a movie!
Who cares about a stupid award?
And how dare you judge me like that?
You must have lost your brains –
Yes, I...

Back When We Were Kids. Song.

Looking through the mirror of my mind
Back to a better time
When we were kids
The things we did
And how we lived
When time
Was on our side

Cycling on our chopper bikes
Camping out all...

I feel asleep
On the wind
It took me to places
High and lofty
Amongst the clouds
And cool high air
Where water is but
Droplets of mist
I touched the stars
And kissed the moon
Shook the hand of
Mr Gray in his tin can
It...

"You here?"

"Will...?"

"Never on time....man" "He's going to 

win this case just because of these pictures"...He begins to look through the photos.

The private eye cracks a smile and begins to hum

Banyoles

With borrowed funds 
And broken hearts
We hitched a ride with the country’s realm,
Running, stupefied with pungent balm.
Through London swarms and Navy shops
We lavished on ponchos 
And swagger.
We met an astronaut that day,
On a bus to...

I dreamt of being transported to a strange alien land
The sky was splattered with lumps, of red gooey sand 
Spacemen appeared through it, with rubbery hands
This wasn’t on my bucket list, I could not understand...

The contestants gathered short and tall
Two-headed mutants lined the wall
Aliens from galaxies far away
Rehearsing, should they win, what they would say.

Some stood naked, though you couldn’t tell
Others wore apparatus and suits so swell
I heard one...

Quatrain 1
Sitting alone at nadir in serpentine sloth;
it is placed on the breeding typo.
A slight failure comes out of the emptiness and makes
successful that which should not be believed in the rain.

Young men in virile stride
    Pass to see the prize that awaits.


Competitive glares that will push the envelope
   Who will stand to accept the honor?

While driving down a country road
One dark and lonely night
My engine began to spit and sputter
From a strange and mysterious light

I saw this little green spaceman
With antennas on his head
He was standing beside my window
And...

At the bottom, in her clutches, you’ve found your new home
Her ghostly embrace makes you feel more alone
Spaceman, at peace in the depth of your night
On glamour and glory, you’ve gotten too high
And somehow you...

in the waterfall 
of random thoughts
spherical occurrences
linear streams
tentative transitions
blurry-edged scenes
where is it
from whence did it come
I am superimposed
juxtaposed
in it  
undone
frothing about
tossing it out
world in peril
running out of time
everywhere I look
there’s all the signs
daring dances

Wabi-Sabi

A stunning beauty seen with moles on the cheek from a distance
If be near, like spaceman, we find dry lowland area of dark rock,
Shadows in holes where meteors hit, left craters, the Sun can’t hit.

Lights on dark canvas, the bow drawn back
A star arrow poised to shoot into the black
The archer's eye aims, he fires into space
But what is the target?The human race?
The brightness approaches, slowly at first
And then...

Can we put a man on the moon?
Just asking, hope not too soon..

We've built him a rocket
In the shape of a bed
With nice fluffy pillows
For his white fluffy head

Powered by electrickery
With buttons and dials
It's sure...

He was a spaceman not a man
He came from the sky one night
The day is remembered in history
It was like the arrival of an Arabian king
Or when Cleopatra arrived to meet Caesar
