Long Wolverine Poems

It is a cold road to my mother’s house.
I have driven it hundreds of times and each time it seems to get colder.
I have cranked up the heat, yet the cold is like a knife...

I used to never want children.
See,
I grew up in a home that housed tornadoes.
where yelling was the norm and the storms would cause chaos every single day.

It was back in nineteen-nineteen
when Timlin Rivers checked his traps,
by one he found just a weasel skin,
did not know what to make of that.

Sparse eating days were far and few between.

by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


I never wanted to be a bunny, I’m not playing this game

BEFORE I AM GONE

The breeze at dawn,
Whispering  secrets to birds, chirping  melodious lullabies,
Waking up to the touch of the first gleam of morning rays
Softly teasing my eyes..
Just the glance of a reflection
Of a...

Beautiful summer day. You know you're gonna die
that's why you know no joy.
Obsessed with self, there is no answer

So what if nothing rhymes and I don't

her black scalpel eyes met mine across 
the crushing divide of a revelling throng.

In her ivory tower, she was raised,
A sheltered child, a life of ease,
But Alice's tale, Lorina's heart had seized,
Her mind now set on a different phase.

Married at twenty to a man much too old,
Her life...

any orange is anathema,...

And as I cruise in my pimp mobile, I...

Drac's the new food taster at Halloween
He dare not admit, he wasn't too keen
For solid food is not his natural cuisine
But Satan chose him instead of Wolverine.

First to be tasted was the eyeball terrine;

Frightened By the Polls

As frightened as a wolverine in a man-made metal trap,
The politician crawled out from under his rock.
Afraid, after his voting record was revealed,
He avoided facing his constituency and their votes.

Your face in my memory evokes emotional pain
and I wonder if you ever regret the things you do

Or 
WORRY WHETHER OR NOT YOU’D OVERDOSE IN THE MIDDLE...

In this cage there's no room
Dark all around like a cocoon
I wish to break free soon
Fly up up and away so high I can reach the moon
But somehow my agility
And overall ability
For unlimited mobility is...

I’m a Pessimist 
We will cry even more

We won’t get away from life with ease 
We are the gloomy creatures 
We are sentenced to grief
