Long Stretchy Poems

Another day in dreamland

Wake up.  Watch the sun ease in the light
like the day before, goin back, and on some more.
Cuddle with the reasons why while I collect
my unconscious back from the sky.
Okay, get...

You toss them to the ground, they don’t beckon or call,
They’re a pair of jeans, and to the ground they fall,
They stay as long as you threw them,
Yet they could stand tall,
When they’re on you...

I’m sitting in a dark, nothing but a T.V. on.
I’m watching horror movies, or am I watching paint dry.
I see people, I see faces, but I still can’t shake the feeling I’m being watched.
A scream...

Most days it feels like the pain goes all the way to my toes 
Bring me back lazy days lying...

The archaic foundation is shaken and
Bitter worms are writhing from among the cracks
like a slow nightmare to overtake
mom's apple pie
Nature responding reaches its arms
to its Maker
With a plea traveling on...

Garbled sounds of familiar yet compassionate love.
Surrounded by warmth and tender melodies as if warbled by a dove...
Soft beating sounds and liquids a flowing 'round and 'round,
Gentle movements, percussion's harmonizing soothing sound...

Breaking daylight unfamiliar sounds...

#68. MOON WINK 

I took a trip for fun, 
between the Earth and Sun, 
slid quietly between,
the star sun's scarlet sheen,
from its radiant show,
and in it's earthly glow. 

I cast misty shadows, 
on planet's green...

Helpful Luca always has my best interest in mind
Upon arriving home, her eyes quickly blink three times 
while she guages my mood
Her greeting exceedingly polite 

Accordingly celebrating, commiserating, sitting
Siliconey arms casually yet awkwardly snake
my back...

When I have finished with this body
And hopefully ascend the heavenly stair,
I'm going to go into Heaven's workshop
And have a word with the management there.

I've not been too happy with their merchandise.
I feel I didn't...

Wednesday Pie

Wednesday shows up on the calendar again;
Before the end of school a truck comes to a screeching halt
At the curb, through snow and rain,
Belching out of open side doors a stack of weekly newspapers...

‘Taties and carrots and onions
All have their own natural skin
So why do most of the suppliers 
Use plastic bags to pack them in, 
Either the fragile brittle type 
That bursts  all over the floor
Or...

Well, I survived... 
That stretchy thing! 
Time to pause.... 
Have a bite to eat,

A good sleep,

This is Mr. Squeaky, mouse reporter,
squeaking to you from the Swiss cheese quarter,
where the crime bosses will decide the price
you'll have to pay for a provolone slice.

My modest size lets me to infiltrate

Since the Garden of Eden and Cleopatra,
snakes strike great fear in man
I have it—ophidiophobia---
legless lizards equal repulsion
 
Slithering, sliding as they move
something about friction and scales
like goose bumps on human flesh
more than I want to...

'The Aftermath'

Chiari Migraine hear my prayer
Thank God you're finally outta there
Morning bring me your reprise
As sunlight gently pricks worn  eyes
The throb of aftershock is clear
Cruel after migraine drain is hear
Arms like lead and legs...

When I spilled my cereal on the floor
I didn’t mean to

Tumble, crumble cornmeal, salted flour 
Stream olive oil
Feed water and toasty yeast with sugar
Crinkle, rumple, crease, and fold
Smooth a silky, doughy globe.

Cover, leave the orb to grow
Keep baby warm
Wrap with snug and swaddling towel
Linger, loiter,...

tapping into my longings like an intuitive child of the seventies 
Every drip of icicle sent shivers down my spine 
and so I wrote her...

a meal found afloat
high in the water
tasted nasty
tasted super salty
he tightened up into
a huge ball and gave his best spit
but it went back over his head
and the jellyfish said

Would You Like Some Toast?

 I work at an orphanage.
 They gave me cooking duties.

I shudder while peering at sepia photographs,
showing visits to my maiden Aunt Hilda’s house.
Even though I was very young
it was clear she didn’t tolerate children.
I was to be ‘Seen and not heard.’
Pa said I wasn’t...

Eat your Turkish taffy when real fresh, soft and new
And enjoy the way it stretches as you chew...

In a moment of juvenile jealousy 
he envies his red rival

with its intimate and greedy embrace of her angels’ share
of honey and vanilla spice
as wet stretchy hands of fervent fabric
possessively cup 
her brandied beauty
