Long Turn tail Poems

...And Sunday's what it took to prove

I have let go
let go...

Conner woke up in his hotel
and looked to the small clock.
He’d slept through his early alarm,

for he had a job to do,
so he pulled on...

“Glory! Great honour shall be mine!
Wenestl shall be last of his dastard line!
Sword unsheathed and bow taut-strung,
We rest not while a Norvajael stays unhung!”

The Ilken sought sheaths of hapless...

I heard the  promise of freedom,
Became an eager volunteer,
Welcomed you to my country
When  you arrived here.
Now, my world is in ashes.
My life in despair
I worked in your cause
But you just don’t  care.

You...

I drew a sweet faerie girl with a half acorn hat
Then I swept horrible kitchen floor in three seconds flat
On a roll now, I wrote a number of banal, boring poems
All to avoid a bossy,...

The elephant is in the room,
In fact the entire house,
But nobody really addresses its presence,
Or the damage it represents.

It’s not clearly seen,
Like a ghost wondering about,
The feelings may be present,
But nobody seems to drag it...

DINGLEO AND GINGLYET

When the Dingly Doo
Met the Gingly Goo,
On the subway late one night.
They fell for one another,
A case of love at first sight.

But the Dingly Doos  and the Gingly Goos’
Like the Capulets and...

Madness has come to get me today.
She whisked me out of the food line, and told me 
I did not have a chance. I am a loser, a dupe, a pawn.

She put nails in my...

Sammy was eager to please the woman of his desires and dreams.
He pretended he liked camping, and pitch tents by mountain streams.
She asked him about cats, and he pretended he liked them a bunch.

I have many names for myself
And not just the ones you see
If you saw all of my personalities
You'd wanna turn tail and flee
Not all of them are bad
Most can be quite fun
But one of them...

"Who Am I"



Voices in my head the unheard of
 They mimic, they pester, they lie
  All to just torture my mind

Who Am I...
        Who Am I...

I question...

I Stare Into the Water

I stare into the water
(The water stares back at me)
In harmony with Terra Mater,
I expend no energy.

Without a paddle or wind to sail,
My prospects are unavailing;
I position myself not to turn-tail,
But...

The Big Bad Wolf Nursery Rhyme

The big bad wolf is on the prowl.
Those three little pigs have made him scowl.
Will he charge the house made of bricks;
or huff and puff on the one made of...

They advance on horses, giraffes, and unicorns.
Helmets gleaming, war cries screaming.
The women are here! A man yells.
There are lots of screams and a bit of wailing.

Some shudder.
Others turn tail and run into the woods.
The women...

Navigating the path to truth,
which is paved with harsh stones to walk upon 
Many stumble or turn tail and retreat
But you will not
You will find your way through
You will seek and search and reach the...

It’s not my fault I fell for you,
My weakness did me in;
I won’t admit out loud it’s true,
Cause loving you is a sin;

We both know I’m not to blame,
You slipped in and caught me off...

A hyena lets out a chilling laugh
 As lionesses feed on a downed giraffe
 The felines will be outnumbered soon
 By these vile and spotted goons

 The lionesses  have to turn tail
 As the...

I am rarely weary of watching the wind with its wondrous ways
The breeze dances delightfully through the budding branches
At times it tumbles and turns and can terrorize my lady’s skirt
It is whimsical and wistful and...
