Obnoxiously Poems

Premium Memberannoying bird speak

Is that a bird?
My sister, who is on the phone, asks me.
I listen a bit harder.
Can you hear that? She asks. It’s a bird, right?
Uh-huh.
A bird I had not noticed until now
Spouting birdspeak that is suddenly obnoxiously loud and annoying.

Premium MemberThis Wandering Mind

How shall I deal with this wandering mind?
Meandering through a meadow of ideas,
Seeking truth among noxious weeds I find

Since early childhood I have been curious
Always sifting through my brain’s cogitations
Accepting new concepts; discarding previous,

Tossing thoughts like a machine’s agitations
Chewing on choices of words, so indecisive,
Practicing precise grammar with conjugations.

Fending off debaters who are often derisive
Debunking theories that sound far-fetched,
While trying not to be obnoxiously divisive.

How far should an agile mind be stretched?
Let it go unchallenged and it becomes static
Drifts into rumor, relishes meaningless kvetch.

I choose to allow my mind access to the attic,
Considering all the randomness that intrudes
To avoid, as much as I can, becoming dogmatic!

A Shameful Stress

I'm completely  well acceptedi 
          and  seen and  well expressed
          when for the world i dress
          but being an obnoxiously stress
          when in public nude, i'm not expected

Premium MemberDeath and Taxes

Listen up lowlife, I make greatness look trite,
Arrogance so far below me, I’m way out of sight,
The whole world’s something, stuck to my shoe,
Never wear mainstream, only designer brand new. 

Could not care less, weather you live or die
Be sure your funeral cortège stops, as I pass by,
Don’t even look at me, gaze upon the ground, 
Better not breathe same air, when I’m around. 

Completely flawless, no mirror can reflect me,
Chosen by myself, to judge everyone that I see,
When speaking put polished marbles in my mouth,
Step outside our mansion, everything goes south. 

Family’s so privileged, only private tutors we seek,
When at the opera, have our own personal suite,
Only best Moët Chandon, passes through my lips,
No matter how good the service, I never give tips.

Yes obnoxiously happy, confident I’ll never die,
So just go and wallow, but find your own pigsty,
I’m a total master class, in unbridled snobbery,
Made my billions, defrauding the IRS in robbery.

Premium MemberYou're Not the Boss of Me

Please don't add insult to injury 
Let’s agree to disagree
Somewhere somehow inadvertently
You lost the last of your integrity
You’re not the boss of me

You’ve forgotten the basics of courtesy 
And carry on quite dastardly 
You spit out words maliciously
At every opportunity
You’re not the boss of me

So moody and such vulgarity
Not a bone of decency
You don’t deserve my loyalty
I’m not the cure for your ennui
You’re not the boss of me

You walk around obnoxiously
In your heart there’s cruelty  
Spewing comments begrudgingly
Everyone deserves their dignity
You’re not the boss of me

Premium MemberAnd the Oscar Goes To



The Mayor of Los Angeles, what a mensch!
Helping the homeless in LA, buy placing 
art murals right next to their tents.

Are they to cook them for breakfast,lunch 
or dinner, perchance?

Proof that some politicians are morons
and obnoxiously, dense!

Gods Plan

You can hear them talking
The ruthless things they say
Sure there’s strength in the numbers
The self-righteous like it that way

Their tassels embellished and long
Their words - obnoxiously right
Bow to all their glory
Worship what they say – believe with all your might

Their presentation is one of pure virtue
The reality - so much pain
The suffering occurs
Awareness of self – their efforts create disdain

Do unto them
Not as they’ve done unto you
Forgive them of their sins
Forgive them - for they know not what they do

Teach them to live in the moment
Enlighten them to cherish each and every day
If he died for all our sins
This is how we should repay 

We live life - we love life
No judgment – only a helping hand
Embodying the word
That’s - God’s plan

Skyline

The New York City skyline
Once had visitors impressed,
But now it makes New Yorkers
Feel disgusted and depressed.

For jutting out obnoxiously,
A giant matchstick looms;
It’s a residential building
Filled with billionaire-type rooms.

It is ugly, it is boring
And it’s thrust into our faces
While destroying what was once
The special skyline it replaces.

We all know that its existence,
Though disastrous indeed,
Has been brought about by what
The world gets by on – mostly greed!

Premium MemberA Cat Calamity

It’s another silly mixed up cat
Who doesn’t know the mood of today?
So he replays them all
Looks at the fish in the fish tank
	And opens the lid too
A swift barrage of yelling and water spritzes
Off he goes to ripping the couch
Damned cat! Who now wants to
Go out meowing obnoxiously
He’s had enough of driving me crazy
And now wants to go see the neighbors
Dammit you’re my cat
Don’t go over there and be all innocent
I know you better than that you
Little troublemaker.
I spritz him because I know
He’s cooking up a new bit of treachery

Notions of Birds

Notions Of Birds

Millions of birds fill in the yawn of morning
Most of them turn out to be blue or pink
The noisiest ones in the flock are wired electric
A census is not required at these events

The yellow light of day amplifies 
Calls attention to loud sounds in color clarity
The sun mocks bad behavior of small creatures 
Including flying ones gathered together wearing feathers
Trees stand by rocks to wonder in the grass
Why can't birds fly straight

White clouds move in slow motion
Come apart like cotton candy
Contemplate their own fate
Meditate on other things like quiet dawns
Something other than overpopulation
Of the obnoxiously loud bird nation

I'M Complex

My id! it is complicated
Psychologically with a high IQ
Highly educated - I walk
My path is quite an endeavor
Compositions quite contrare
I am an artist - I express
My intellect flows when I talk
Communications levels reflect same
Yet in my mind - I can not reach you
If I could - I'd tell it on the mountain
Echoing each erroneous speech
Thus then you I might reach
With theory of repetition Ah!
Indeed ! I see ! You hear
No one listens - redundance sets in
It perturbs me so - feelings within
My peers , they do part
They are far , far away
So each new born given day
I am with you ! I am doomed!
Likewise I am sure I see
It's obnoxiously getting to me
That your id  , your IQ
Reflects in the beligarent you
No one's really listening but the birds
They tweet! It becomes me......

And Sometimes

And sometimes
I wonder
What you might be wearing today
Did you play your music
Obnoxiously loud on the way
To work
Were all the windows down
Sun warming your face &
Wind whisking your hair &
Super cool sunglasses
Don't you wish on days like this
You could drive with your eyes closed

Did you feel rejuvenated today
Starting to get a hold of yourself
And did someone come and trample
you down
Just after noon
Did you feel like a drink
But consider that probably wouldn't
Be enough
So you just sat on the beach instead

How many times did you blink today
about what time do you start to stink and
Did a memory just make you
Laugh or cry

How many times have you considered
Starting new
Trusting again, giving again
And how many times has that left you empty
Happy enough to live life
But not to trust &
Not to give

I wonder if
We would even talk
Daily or
Weekly or
At all
If we lived in close proximity
I wonder sometimes
How hard it would be
To be without you

Soy Sauce Spills

Soy sauce drains 
Into the white, clustered rice
Stepped on…
spills . . . 
Soy sauce taints
The whiteness of the grain
 It slips out of my hands
No use...no point in crying out in rage
Though I was starving, 
I'll just eat another thing and start on a new page

I'm hungry like a swine
I wish I can earn back my snack!
I'm as angry as a bull
I'm about ready to attack! Attack!
Soy sauce packages
Fall unto the dirty school ground
Stepped on
By bratty, conceited teens
They really need to eat their greens
Instead of junkfood and pizza
They should drink some water
Instead of drinking sugary drinks or
 Sucking on popsicles obnoxiously
Why did the soy sauce spill? Seriously....
