Long Zings Poems

Ruminating vagaries of life May 2nd, 2021

(conceived while in utero
which loosely summarization in toto
of this ordinary Joe Schmoe,
who did wade nine months for a roe
at mercy of obstetricians status quo,

giving me a jump start to...

Exploring your soul is beautiful
But to do so is frightening
Relinquishing of rules
Rejecting labels

Soul searching can look and feel like you are broken
The cracks form, but light floods in
The reality of self imposed constraints suddenly feels...

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...

ABC Animal Twist

Adored and diverse, life thrives on earth; each day nature sees new births.
Big and small, abundantly in seas and trees; great beauty breathes.
Chameleons, cats, corn snakes, and coots, survive great threats in life's...

The Duck That Lost His Quack


A Duck woke up late one day last week,
And all he could do was to squeak.
He looked everywhere and listened to different things, 
Even heard sounds all around, from pings...

Dating my first love, hearing Elvis sing
"It's now or never come hold me tight"
A handsome young Kennedy on TV springs

The youngest president with views left wing
Destined to die too young, a young bride's fright
Dating my...

About that I thought I knew something
But I was incorrect, I knew nothing at all
Clarity came in the form of a person from that country
Disguised as a pleasant person, she straightened me out
Enthusiastically helping me...

Quandary

I bought a zoo - a magic place
With extinct animals - maybe lost in space
Now in a quandary - what to do
I have an ailing Jurassic Zoo!

My Stegosaur snores with loud zings
My Pterodactyl sprained one...

I yearn for shades of Autumn and all that it could bring 
the chromis strews of redding bricks the chilly burrr 
Blushing apples high as kites tied to apron strings   
and acorns full...

Awful avocados always
Breathe bitter blue breaths
Craving cardinal’s Christmas carols
Ditching deliberate dungarees during
Elusive extraterrestrial escapades.
Forsaking fitful Floridian flamingos,
Getting gaudy, gratuitous gnarly gifts,
Herewith having hilarious hefty hallucinations,
Imagining India’s illustrious indigo ideologies.
Jackals jerry-rigging jealous junking jackalopes
Kangaroos kissing kindly,...

Pureness, peace, compassion, bliss, Power, and Wisdom,
That links my reason-spirit body-soul system;
Tells me that my physique is a temple of God,
Though my day-to-day existence is flighty odd...!

Sufferings and pains wreck my delicate physique,
The feasibility of...

Ever gone to throw an axe?
You’ll love it if you try.
Grip the handle and relax,
Standing firm into your tracks,
Release and let it fly.

Over end, the axe will spin,
And through the air will whisk.
To the target,...

Everyone is podded off
Sipping, slipping into chill-consciousness
Blue Note-certified musings drip
From the tongues and lips
Busy, chewing the amplified air
The waitress saunters
Occasionally brushing up
Against the black-lacquered stallion
Resting quiet
Mums the word
It's ivory asleep
Begging to be woken
The 523p light
Provoked...

Abominable Aborigine
Boycotted Baltimore’s Bakery
Canady Canola’s Cannery
Decoded deceitful debauchery

Endless energetic energy
Forwarded farmyard frolicking for a fee
Geographically greeting in Germany
Hardcopy happiness hee hee hee

Ignoring ignorance illegally
Juicy juggling juggernauts
Kettledrums, Kenya and Kentucky
Livening up our literacy
Maniac madness in a...

Two perfect strangers 
On a train heading nowhere
Aware life gets lonely 
with no companion 
He says "hello"
She replies "hi"

Smiles, like currency, are exchanged  
Enthralled by her nature so exquisitely delicate 
He yields to her...

Welcome to my random world;
Where Angels and Fairies both co herald
Am I a fallen fairy?
As my vision mainly slept I’m under twinkly
A little phantom dream, awaken in my reality
Dancing angels challenge me to fly
I would...

Inspiration


A fly which past fast zings
Like a bird on beating wings
A leaf that in wind flickers
Like a curvy girl on knickers

Or a Wretch who bemoans
As a weight lifter that groans;

Flying quite ethereal across
Clouds that gather...

I Know why the Paged Word Zings

I am the boss word jumps onto the page
Smearing herself around in a messy way
Doing back floats on the crisp white canvas
Daring the writer to stop her if he...

Smell Clean!

Sometimes
no rhymes

do we
all see.

Blogs read
instead

can be
ugly.

Some peeps
are creeps.

So sly -
they spy

like moles
in holes.

Yes, sirs,
those curs

bait lambs
and ma’mes.

Some joke
with folk

or tease
blog-ees

Don’t mind
those kind!

But they
can say

mean things
with zings

to poke
at folk;

start fight -
they bite!

As hogs
at blogs

they squeal...

once
he came to the door

a shadowless voice

I love to go searching for blank journal books
A beautiful cover and I’m instantly hooked

Like it’s calling to me, to fill it with ink
To unload on it all the thinks I can think

Wounded barbarian none gainsay is brave,
Enemies harrying him to his grave,
Trench filled with valiant comrades, struck
And split by the axes, or arrows that stuck.

Orgies have slated and wasted his brain:
Wenches and wine left a mid-morning...

Onset rumor today
Brave caped clown Gizmo
Dumps awful patron
After prank ended wonky

Never short fused
Clown Gizmo flips
Zooms while zings
Crowd cheer bravo

Later Gizmo calls bloke named Ralph
Guest plays fancy prize banjo
Until roars upset crowd
Sadly trash hefty jazzy amigo

Yikes!...

Starlet had to purchase those keen fun, artistic boots
They remind her of so many great things
The times she and grandma were in cahoots
Dancing and jiving with zippy zips and zings
