Long Transmogrify Poems

Dear Bishop Michael Cote, Doctor of Divinity
through pre-historic untold ages
through reborn renaissance stages
through industriously energetic praises
through enlightenment phases
through empowerment dysphasia

Some of us lesser health care practitioners,
good faith social workers,
teachers,
parents and grandparents,
uncles and aunts,
and ecofeminist inter-religious...

As I pivot to confront my offspring, I anticipate the sight of terror etched in their innocent eyes, a reflected horror that would mirror the abyssal darkness that has long resided within me.

Instead, I am...

Lights dim, where words writhe like serpents in the darkness, I concoct a brew of bitter brutalities.

Like a tumbleweed aimlessly blowing in the wind
across the infinitely open and wide prairie land
(which wasteland famously epitomized by T.S. Elliot)
a barren vista ravages the metaphorical landscape 
of one measly mortal malcontent male
bumping and scraping...

A THRILL SEEKER (PART 1)

He is a sick man with no life that is running around in a world that cannot be lived.
All but not one knows his dementia and does not respond.
He is defiled.

No citadel’s too tall for mortals like you.
Even acclivity of mounts fear of bipeds like you.
Adam’s ale in its ampleness has lost its meaning.
And only with your condonance, 
do the flowers un-bud and birds do...

Some wanted to be tigers.  The angels talked a few out of it,
Two were led away, because they had a ridiculously silly hissy fit.
Six were given tiger-status, and sent to an Indian village.

I hoped...

She-Ma appeared in the midst of an argument we were having.
A bunch of unruly rednecks and me; and I am afraid I was losing.
With her ribbon like hair, and her firm determined mouth, she materialized.

There is only one spooky, creepy, frightful night 
Where vampires and werewolves are welcome, all right. 
Naturally I am talking about the greatest holiday, Halloween.
Where mystical magical mummies and skeletons can be seen.

It is spooky,...

Transmogrify the sensationalist
An astute ableism of absolution and idiocy
Divine demeaning meanings demoralizing democracy
Through persuasive procrastination and promiscuity
Festering fragmented feelings forgiven for failing
Jailing juveniles jealously just for jokes
Writing worrisome wit without witnesses to worry
Original orange and...

They are every hue of violet, purple, and a few are azure blue.
But you are beautiful, I assure them. They scoff at my...

My mother did not know what hit her when she agreed to travel with me
She had forgotten that I can transmogrify folks, so it is cheaper you see.
So I zapped her with my wand, and...

Vibrant vigorous vexing virginal vampire name of Amanda Lou 
Could transmogrify, materialize, reincarnate and shapeshift too.
Other trick-or-treaters would get a shimmery, shivery, shocking shock
When she changed from a vamp to an imp to a fairy...

transmogrify

once upon a time
one knew how to begin
the state of the day dream,
by removing the mind, 
shedding the every day
paraphernalia, then escaping
into a realm just

The faintest rumble in the East
Droplets; barely noticeable
Did you hear that?
Must have imagined it
Anyway, not intrusive enough to spoil our most important of conversations...
The Economy is thriving, the housing market is back to boom levels!

A set of siblings was in an effervesce
Of blossoms and bubbles.

This world to each was a bundle of joy.
They laugh and played like two girls should.

Somewhat different, as each became older, they would be captivated...

I diffidently conjure the sorrowful emerald entity
from the deepest depths of my elbow of despair.
I do not abhor her, but I also do not trust her.
Likewise, I rather revere and worship her.

She validated my grief...

Fire woman danced wildly, her flames shot skyward.
Lone wolf hunkered down in deep shadows
Popping and kicking, she rose higher than ever 
Illuminating the woods in a ultra-luminous glow
Wolf’s yellow eyes stared at Fire woman.
She was...

Global outreach and broken barriers
Carriers of diseases and hydroponics
Hypnotic supersonic satellite memories
Simmering beneath a veil of gray
Stay and memorize a million lies
Ties to be cut while the government denies
Demise is written in the stars
Scars molded...

Since my stroke, I deal with a shrunken world.
Surprisingly, a shrunken desire to visit,
also has emerged; I'd buy a coffin
to hold in readiness, but I'll be cremated
and a cardboard box is all I need, I'm...

The snow before honey hued sun flees
The rivers begin to unfreeze 
The fragrance of field flowers and bonfire is carried by spring breeze

Wailing for her demon lover, she knows nothing about these woods
Daring the devil to snatch her from clutches of midnight she howls truth
Wolves answer her with appreciative baying of their own.

Because she needed to see the landscape from both directions
She could transmogrify like this when she was in a meditative state

It is not like one of her selves was dominant.
