Long Wobbles Poems

Their prowess, stature, about to be seen

This will be the third between the WBC, WBA
Stepping into the...

So at 47 I have arrived.
A position most disconcerting,
Troubling? Nay,
Downright disturbing!
A blatant assault.!
An ego in default.
Should have steered left, 
Perhaps joined a cult.

Having settled back into the lap,
Of my original birth sack,
I am anything but...

and bad grammar]

That old pirate cave was a tourist attraction
The guide was in period dress
In old pirate garb and a well practiced script
This tale he would tell to impress…

Soon the sun will glow
Through the east facing blinds
I haven't worked in seven months
Yet I rise every day before him
And write a poem or two
The ceiling fan wobbles
Finches, sparrows and a cooing dove
Greet the dawn
Sweet...

This is a perfect world
A world that although not perfectly round,
although it seemingly wobbles like a top in its uneasiness and discontent with its occasional imbalances,
is perfect in its imperfections.

Even as flames engulf the garden,

Turbulent moves the water mass
Thumping and roaring as it rolls,
Sheltering in her, myriad strange beings
From tiny planktons to giant killer whales

Constant remains she, yet changing ever
The puzzling paradox beyond the land
She had cradled the first...

The Sonic of the earth’s plate tectonics was given birth
By the  unbalanced wobble of the earth
While the wobbling of the natural earth
By carnal mind invention, was given birth
By the carnal act reversing Love’s...

Starvation, famine, death for all.
The prophecy foretold long time ago.
Bear no fruit of hollow labor.

Ploughing all day nothing to bring homeward.
There is many a brave heart here dying...

Delirium

I stepped in
yesterdays cold
that babbled through
a rosed mist,
its clammy waters
rallied the shallows 
that suffer skin to clinch
flesh in curbed
shriveling
crimps,

Shapes a 
glacial sheath
paired amongst 
innocence, roughly 
stays offbeat,...

and headed for the park one day.
They chatted in the shade and watched
their children play just yards away.

“The kids love school.”   “My...

The sonics,
Of earth’s plate tectonics,
Was given birth,
By the wobble of the earth,
While the wobble of the earth,
Was given birth,
By the carnal mind invention,
Which reversed love’s intention,

Now the earth reveals,
How love feels,
About the mind’s rejection,
Of love’s...

like Benjamin Button

my body restored
