Long Stonewalling Poems

Electorate witnesses wounded beast...
flailing, lurching, and writhing in throes of agony

Trumpets blare acknowledging
crack hunters lucky strike,
i.e. bullseye salvo shot at
innocuous yet brutish
and nasty looking Homo sapien
courtesy elite militia incapacitates,
(yet doth not kill) mortal enemy.

Tis a...

Hey Mitch McConnell...
about all this talk (I hear) about indefatigable (Phila/ Philly-buster)

Police sirens wail doth punctuate the air
ear splitting soundclouds blare
another typical arrest
(guilty until proven innocent if ever)
so much for Black Lives matter protests
biased accusations...

Government (show) Shut Down December 2018

Messianic Don found tarnished appeal
trumpeted bluster thwarted
with muted (hip hip hooray) Democratic zeal
played (on microscale) like quashed
ill fated braggadocio big deal

bombast, sans General George Armstrong
Custer's last stand,
viz Little Bighorn, achilles...

“Let us cross the river and rest in the shade of trees”
Converse like gentlemen, with our bayonets at ease
We were once brothers, declaring independence for these lands 
Now we murder one another, for the right...

Game thou not with mine heart,
By thine stonewalling art,
That we might have a love fest and glee
Of a lasting wetdream of rue free,
A love that endures fine,
Like the bristlecone pine.

How thine yea made my lovesick...

While Skye danced free among daisies and daffodils, cloaked in mink
Unwary daydreams of a princess in exuberance singing and dawdling
Damsel snatched in two hufflewinks and one rinkydink tiddlywink

The wicked sorceress on her fiercest dragon, captured...

I don't know, I just sat there, in manacles
While the warden's assistant worked the tentacles
Cold as a dog's nose, shivering 
My back bare against the stone wall 
Of a system that drew pleasure from stonewalling
I...

Life is a song,
incomplete, yet soothing—
lullabies lulling the world to sleep
with its balladic lilt, gently swaying 
to the depths of its nomadic 
syncopation.

Where I can subdue archaic
hieroglyphics in hues of 
rose gold notes, invading my...

A cloudy sky pouts, under threat of rain,
as a brisk breeze rattles my windowpane. 
While a ghostly fog reinforces doubts,
under threat of rain; a cloudy sky pouts. 

There's little change; Winter is persistent,
any trace of...

I see the sunshine in your smile
Makes me want to rub your bottom lip
Didn’t see that smirk for awhile
Seemed liked mine wasn’t letting you in 

Maybe we’re perfect strangers
And we don’t need to see eye...

Dangling from fragile threads 
soaked in suppressed emotions
I weigh my limited options
as flashes from the past flicker 
behind a barrier of uncertainty. 
In swirling mist I see your hazy 
expressionless face. I call out,
my voice...

From this, has learned,
This has taught him life's principles,
The rudiments of moving up life’s ladder,
The art of stonewalling,
Bricks bonded in a pattern,
A master craftsman he is,
Brick on the brick he lay them,
Row by row they...

Materialised out of t’ foggy whorl.
Most people have speculated without fail 
from whence shores or dimension you have hail’d.
They agreed upon: You’re out of this world!
 
A temperament like Mercury hurled.
I’m a master in the...
