Long Whizzes Poems

If we listen to the wind will we hear the call?
What of the years we spent “Back against the wall”

Years they come and they go “All is the same”
When you find yourself with a number...

SNIPER

A yell “ man down;” then zing, pock, pock,
pock, pock against the sandbag revetment.

Down on the plain is a man in a spider hole,
he is well hidden and armed well enough,
smokeless powder provides no clues.

Binoculars...

Miles in a coaster, a day and hours elapsed, 
Felt the utmost relief when the whirling wheels halted; 
So weary and dizzy, even a smile seemed so hideous 
But an in peace slumber I desperately...

Grand Hope Flower
CA Hospital over 
a century of healing
Construction din
all of downtown one 
enormous construction 
site with all its might 
peeling into daylight 

Executive traffic thinks 
it’s funny, whizzes as 
acorns drop onto 
windshields and...

“Time is a reckless horse galloping away, but those who can tame it can ride on it and reach destinations desirable” By Poet

 
Time, the cosmic beat
Length of life’s yarn
The harbinger of change
Leaving rude etchings...

Cat-as-trophe

A purrrfect little kitten became a purrrfect cat,
With milk all round her whiskers and cobwebs as her hat.
She rubs against your jumper, just to say hello,
And leaves behind a hairy mess on you and your...

oddly they swim where only yesterday
grass laid down and withered
having been subjected to the slasher’s blade

“Them be bin chickens” me mate once said
as we walked past them at the airport
not far from Tweed Heads

Like many heroes of mysterious Marvel Comics, 
Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange is a bolt of magic mix;
Spells of supernatural kinds he works, abundantly,
Crimsons, crystals, ice, rings, chains - in constant redundancy...!

Pile of pure pulverization and...

Yellow spreads her flowered self all along my lane,
asking only for some warmth and a little rain.

She might pose as Daffodil or enjoy the fame
of the seeded beauty which bears our sun’s own name.

Yellow makes...

She steps up to the plate –smiling
The smile that fills you with hatred and embarrassment
When so often it is present.

This is no laughing matter.

The unliked by the team,
But still the needed captain.

The field is watching,...

Alone, we sit.
The silence of words
best left unspoken
drowns out 
the din
of busy, bustling
people. 
Coming, going,
chatting, and laughing.
Living just outside
of our small
plane of reality.
They cannot perceive
the fervent thoughts
we share.
Only our eyes speak,
and voluminously. 
Darting
and flashing,
fleeing
and chasing....

The Cosmos

To stare across the galaxy with telescope and fervent love
The gaseous dusty stars above, a constellation cluster reigns

A pulsar radiates two beams, a lighthouse flicker on both sides
Magnetic force that also spins around black...

There's a crowd at the door 
but they ain't coming in. 
My confidence as shut down, 
my draw bridge as been pulled in. 

Don't ask me out its not my scene.
I'm no social king or...

Senses five externalised 
Analytical mind, objects sized
Yet power of reason, now our prison
Life whizzes by, too late at death we wisen
Recognising that we are not mind-body
We are divine, on earth for study
Learning love alone as...

Feel closed in and need a break
Take me far away to nowhere I care about
Just drive….
And let the wind blow through these kinky locks
Entangled with fears, dreams and lost passion
Give me speed
To free up the...

There are moments in my life
when I think of my past.
Wish I could bring them back

I remember the time as a child,
when I used to play with my friends;
Our home was a place for fun,

THE MAGIC BROOMSTICK 


There is a magic broomstick

Upon which witches ride,

On dark and spooky windy nights

Up into the air it glides.



Soaring over trees and hills

It travels far and wide

The magic cat sits on the back

His...

Lost in the world of the dead
Carefully hiding yourself image
Masked face to hide scars
Self inflicting wounds to release pain
Are you done yet?

Hide, and hide, and hide your sorrow well
Dwell in your inclined premonitions
Don't move, you...

You cannot know a person's strengths
When he is very young.
Which group with talents will he
One day find himself among?

The math or science whizzes
Or the athletes on the field?
The writers or artistic types
With pen or brush...

Inevitable that our past
Indulgence in many an unholy repast 
Brings now ego borne ferality
Seeking to penetrate our open porosity
Having no fear we do not resist
Our emptiness within offering no target
Grossness seeking an anchor
But there being...

Firefly tango, lighting up the meadow
Whizzes, whirls, flits, and furls,
The little varmints buzz around, 
Unaware we are watching their every move.
We older folks are no longer chasing them 
or popping them in Mason Jars 
To...

peppy porcelain puppy poops on the floor

He draws long, panting breaths from a Winston
Then blows a slow line of hazy blue smoke from lips
Which have known the defeated downturn of pain
Fear flames up a burning urgency within his chest
He is ardent...

Sleep stupor continues through waking state
Feral instincts to surface gravitate
We stumble and fumble as though in trance
Life spinning out of control, left to chance
Fears and desires making us agitate

Make no mistake! Thought patterns our bondage

tall, proud emerald stems like the West Witch’s guards

ruby-throated hummingbirds click in a homespun garden

tornadic spin thrusts homes, hither and thither, like flying brooms

strange snow lingers like torn pieces of Glinda’s tatterdemalion gown

a tin can,...
