Long Stubbed Poems

Exhausted, yet I can't sleep
So glad that I don't want to weep
You're living your epic life 
While mine cuts like a knife 

Under the horizon,
I see the reflection of the sun
Over the rainbow,
I see a...

Far from the surging crowd,the aesthetic mass ever loved
For,some fascinated to drilling mud,more satiated with coconut ground
Most elated admiring flowering buds,all hailed for herbs, spices,Salmon or squid
But there came the most tyrannous deluge with a...

God’s Fire!

Most accidents are avoidable, 
I’m sure you would all agree, 
In modern society, high-tech, 
Where things are more robust.
 
All my relatives believed in, 
God, Jesus and the holy trinity, 
But since there is...

I remember as a little girl 
On a visit to an aunt’s friends house 
I was sitting reading a story book 
As quiet as a mouse 

I asked to be pardoned 
To go to the...

My whole life I knew a man who hates everything.
Who had a distaste about anything, 
Even the do-nothings and do-somethings said to anyone, 
Because he hates everyone, 
So this tale of hate has already begun.

The alleyways within the maze are paved with rats and mice.

Evangelists with moneyed fists collect the sacrifice

from losers scorned and rubes reborn, and promise paradise,

while in the back they cook some crack, inhale, and roll...

We're all children on this broken playground. Swings with no seats, monkey-bars with no bars, broken glass littered about: yet it's all we know and so

With stubbed toes and wounded hearts we beg to be...

War and Harmony

I caught the red eye to meet my warrior only to be met with war.

A night of hot passion that time has caused us both to long for.

A harmonious melody fills the room...

As I wander through my mind, back to years now long gone by.
I stumble over many memories, some now faded and worn by father time.
Others clear, even brilliant, bring a tear, or a smile to...

Rise before the rooster that is caged in neighbor’s yard.

Hitting my knees before I open my eyes I offer up a dream prayer

Ignorance is Bliss 

Ignorance is Bliss 

When GOD destroyed the town of NINEVA Jonah danced and grinned an evil 
smile. He party and he drank and he ate squab and many other birds an evil...

It was a balmy night by the sea
the bar wasn't empty, nor was it full
I was on my 5th whiskey sour
it matched my mood
some days a detective
some days a writer
now and then even a poet

Here I stand, a little over two-thousand years later!
There worlds are not the same, coming from the creator
One ritually set to hold fast.
The other has forgotten about the laws of the past.
I look about entranced...

Stubbed my toe

Here I stand a little over two-thousand years later.
The worlds are not the same, coming from the creator.

I stubbed my toe ...

  (I do this a lot since turning fifty-five,
   when everything I picked up to read began going to
   arm's length in order to be visible,

I woke up this morning,
and then without warning,
I rolled off the bed,
soundly bumping my head.
That was just the beginning of what I call,
my most exasperating day of all.
Here's what happened next:

Got into the shower,
then suddenly...

For me the world becomes a playground, 
the gray concrete becomes the forgiving mulch
beneath the swing set. The clouds start to move slower 
and they all start to look more like dinosaurs or cowboys 
when...

The brain comparable to a sponge
No longer under, like a sub
Thanks to the flood
Rising up above
The top layer of mud
Like bath bubbles in a tub

Near and far from bugs and grubs
Among the trees and shrubs
As...

" If I'm Your Next Victim"

"You" and those like you, who makes such a beautiful place
"God created called Earth" so unsafe, here's some food for thought
for you today, you hide in unseen places waiting for...

Last weekend was “Parent’s” weekend at Yale. A time when parents are formally invited to visit. They have receptions and other events - but no potato-sack races (which is disappointing). My parents couldn’t come, they’ve...

Jibber jabber, pitter patter;
another one is screaming, now what's the matter?

Little feet, stinky feet,
how many rocks did you just eat?

Sticky hands, runny nose;
did you just pick your nose with your toes?

Booger picking, booger eating; 
do...

Now, I have been thinking 
I have had a few scrapes.......... 
Ticked a few chaps off 
Ships sinking 
Harmless japes! 
Am I getting soft? 

The pirate chaps were great! 
Landed me ashore, 
with sacks full...

BEING LATE

Here we go, I’m late again, and I’m going to miss the bus
I won’t get to work on time, and there’ll be the usual fuss
The alarm forgot to ring, or else I pressed the...

I’ve picked it up a hundred times
yet dropped it just once more
So I give up, the blasted thing
can lay there on the floor

And stepping out onto the porch
I hit the ice and slipped
As I walked...
