Overstuffed Poems

Unpacking the Silence

...at the burnt-out end of night
under a naked

flickering electric light

all the junk
in my overstuffed mind
behind

i guess i must have been spaced-out

that overhead ...

In Streets of Solitude

...

In streets of solitude...
A societal ghost ambles through 
A bustling concrete jungle unnoticed. 
A lost soul with sartorial handicap,
Carrying life inside his overstuffed backpack.

A living hellish nightmare

...A living hellish nightmare...

only just began early today 
November 6th, 2024,
when my eyes frightfully espied
glaring headlines bespoke horror
conjured, portended and yielded
worse fate than...

Yuletide here

...Does this mean much to you,
Force fed at Yuletide too?
Unsure if Jesus meant all this,
Tinsel town of retail bliss,
Beginning to feel like Yuletide,
Snow in Aussie ocean tide, 
Swimming and dri...

For some enchanted evenings

The following scenario imagined
after the hoopla of
Democratic National Convention miracle workers
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz

Madame Dollene

...Madame Dollene was Rubenesque
wearing too much rouge

on anyone else, it would have looked outrageous.

The orange red feather perfectly matched he...

Elevator Ride

...Collaboration between: Jack Horne and Sara Kendrick

  The elevator's getting full, 
but more are stepping in;
I'm in between two gentlemen
and wishing they were thin.

The lift op...

Stuffed

...Stuffed heads on imposing walls
beady glass eyes, glare.
The house is stuffed with horns,
tusks, fangs, and jowls.
Many a taxidermic glower,
gazes down,
with a moth-farmed visage.

 No longer pacing in little anxious...

Thanks

...
  Thanks be given to many things,
  To celebrate the cooked bird within.
  Humbly beseeching the deserts that be,
  Too much for my overstuffed tummy,
  Oh, jess!

I Wait With Bated Breath For C Cure T Clarence

...I wait with bated breath for... C. Cure T. Clarence

The following crafted 
approximately midway 
into the administration 
of forty fifth president,
whose crass, gutsy, lewd,
repulsive yawping...

Greenery

...after the rain, wildflowers bend like
                         wilted men wrapped in age and bliss
fragments of longing and belonging
in wet that sustains a warming world

The Wardrobe

...She had a bit of a problem
Of which she was reluctant to disclose
Her wardrobe was full to overflowing
With a wild array of clothes

She justified this behaviour
By insisting it was cheap stuff...

In Her Nest Reading

...Where is Selma? I asked her mother.
You won’t believe me.
I might.

Reading in her nest.
I thought her mom meant her bed.
But her bed was empty.

Her mom led me to the den.
Selma was sprawle...
