Long Suckered Poems

Mirror, mirror on the wall ~
don't let me fall for a narcissist's words
for fear I'll find myself tangled in the web
of silk threads cunningly spun to lure me in. 

You might take those words to...

In case you don’t remember them they came from outer space
They were to be the first beginnings of the human race
But when they crashed they came down in a stark and frigid place
Antarctic ice interred...

I've told so many lies, that it makes no scense 
Of shame, pain not havin thangs, crafting stories-true myths 
Lied about victories, age, life and all 
Dressed up truths, just wanted to impress all of...

Five miles of neatly spaced suckered palm planted 
Bustling promenade,
Not withstanding a provincial cafe-culture 
Of restaurants and exciting little bars,
Enhance upon regal elegance of the crammed hotels
Regency period style facades;
Their fashionable shadows slowly lifting and...

I knew my ancestry and my dad was a joiner,
But verged on disowning my mum for labour,
Not married in history yet throbbing with spark, 
Love, truth, kindness fibered the gelled dark.

A stunner - intelligent, muscular...

The earth is round.
It is not flat on any given day of the year.
It is a very solid shaped sphere.
It is not going anywhere either.
Well, not at least for the next one thousand years.

The earth...

Once, an old man sat at a bar
Seemingly, alone in the woods
The Falls were just over there
Above all of his shunned shoulds of good

Too great to enter into regret
He suckered anger instead
Justifying all his words...

I spaced out.
Walked away,
To find a corner
To collapse in.
Seized out,
Suckered into,
A flashbang of 
A flashback.
Collapse into me,
For God’s sake,
Almost didn’t manage to
Safe myself from
The bloodshed.
Take two,
Strike three.
It’s time to recover,
Achieve sobriety
Or face the fact that...

Faces of Terrifying Demons


Some look into the Demon dark
And are engulfed

Crushed and torn apart
These poor souls
Descend to the narcotic escapes
Or turn to face the world
In return 
With violence, anger and hate
Or fall at last
In the...

Me and Ben were fresh-scrubbed farm boys
Come to Wyoming fer the thrill,
We had twenty dollars twixt us,
But knew we’d climb the highest hill.

Then Ben got suckered in card games
And I spent the rest on bar...

I saw this movie about a woman who was beautiful 
and when she entered the casino floor her blonde hair said,
 ”Hi! “… and the high rollers, the janitor and the fat greeter,

Eve saw the serpent eat the fruit
and through her sight, he found the route
to the recesses of her mind
then made her think he was so kind.

She heard one speak in tones so sweet
slick words that...

Bird Brained: A tongue twister

Poverty stricken, attired in sack
Hopeful looks forward, never looks back
Polite to the people, the rich and the poor
Doesn't want much, just enough and no more

Just the one friend that he hatched...

She’d a shopping list in her bag
Long since lost in the mess
But she could remember it vaguely…
Dammit .... she’d just have to guess

She grabbed a trolley out of the garden
It squealed and it see-sawed
No wonder...

I found you gal		
And felt so grand.
I placed a bet			
And played my hand.
But I was suckered		
By your bluff,
‘Cause what you offered	
Wasn’t love.

I still remember,		
Way back when,
You upped the ante		
Once again.
The stakes were higher	
Than I knew.

I keep forgiving, and when I do, it is over.
So here I am, giving him another check,
To pay his rent, a one time deal
Just like...

A CASHLESS SOCIETY, MEANS TOTAL CONTROL.
IT'S ALL GOING DOWN, MOST DON'T EVEN KNOW.
IT'S ALL A TRAP, THAT IS COMING ABOUT.

TRACKING YOUR SPENDING, WHERE EVER YOU VISIT.

I saw a note pinned up today
that sheepdog trials are underway
I thought, at last, there's justice for the flock
I imagined my fine elocution
as witness for the prosecution
denouncing deeds by doggies in the dock.

Two-leggies might not...

On a dive to wreck of good ship "Soul"
I noticed a door locked tight.
Over I swam to peer inside a keyhole
Expecting it be blocked up tight.

In shock I pulled eye back in awe.
For I saw...
