Long Wroth Poems

Fishers fish and merchants drift
But pirates lurk and seek to sift
They show their wealth with coins they spit   
While honest men give honest gifts 

A fletcher rises with the day 
His arrows up...

there flies a bird as white as life,
an ugly, peaceful dove,
 which carries darkness in its beak,
 the poem wroth with love:
 the farmer wakes at morning,
 weak with pain and ache;
there's no peace in...

Maidens often tells me she love me,
But can that truly be?
One who does not to me respect show,
But always my ideas she akimbo.

Whether it's a thing of my fate.

Like a ticket to get what you want
You use your lips like a key
To enter me and get all that you please 
Then leave me 
And don’t return till you feel...

when war approaches, miles away 
it scuttles sideways like a crab
or creeps slowly, slowly and slowly
like a reptile, 
with holocaust claws;

a quick eye sees, 
a smart heart reads, 
at distance. 

war, as you may think,...

Moth
In a kingdom full of ants
The splendid spider spidering
Deep into that darkness frogging
Death shall bring candlefish
It threw its ghost against the grubs

We are wisps in this cosmos,
The flimsy bubbles,
The clumsy issues'
In this decay, this cosmic swamp.
We are the degassing 
Of a dying celestial being's bowels,
The place where is-life churns and seethes,
The place where was-life nourishes the...

I am a mouse, catatonic with fear;
just trying to stay still and silent,
to survive.

Batted about by an indifferent cat;
for him a lazy afternoon,
for me an aching lifetime.

It has no idea of the torture it inflicts;
no...

Short but beautiful,
Beautiful and dutiful.
Dutiful in deligience,
Deligent and intelligent.

The mood of thy pleasantries,
Wroth fables of dignities.
Your egg-y shaped physiognomy,
Mount emotions in hurry.
The smiles of thy face,
Is embroided with bewitching triats.
The venom of thy eyeballs,
Pierce through...

The Sixties
By: Tom Wright
3/11/98

In protest
"Hippies" burned our flag.
fashioning clothes
that some wore in drag.

Protesting a "Conflict"
they were not for.
Espousing a slogan
"Make Love Not War".

They gave peace signs
while "Grass" they smoked.
As young men died
they sunned and joked.

Being the giver of my life:
Jolting me away from strife.
Loaning me to joyfulness
Graced with love and happiness.

The hunting wolves measuring the depth 
Of the promiscous earth:
You tossed me above their claws,
Raising  me beyond all...

I think you'll never know
How much of me I spend following
Chasing where you go

Quick from the cloud,
hail the heaven is crying,
lay on it a blue white cloud,
the narrow thing that brings us joy from this desert frying,
a wonderful friend that liberates us from the smiling sun.
Neither those at...
