Shacks Poems

ARE YOU MY DADDY?

...[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots, heat in the air
We pulled off the highway to nowhere

No clean water, just pain showin’

[Verse 2]
Kids in the dirt, no one cry...

Day Break In Florida

...A tangle of moss in the new gray dawn—
Palm fronds whisper hush, hush—
Waves shiver on the sand.
The sea sighs like a tired dreamer.
Fiddler crabs scuttle sideways in the hush—
Sideways like fol...

People so inside...
vessels, lessons, treasure, houses, 
dwellings beaches, farms apartments in caves
Living in dwellings homeless shelter...

The Ballad of Prince Alexander and Ramira

...Sings the story at twilight 
When the moon is just rising, 
Sings a simple troubadour 
The short tale of life. 

How a fine boy, 
Born in a palace, 
A palace like crystal, 
Became a proud man...

Cold Comfort Zones

...
       A cold, comfortless park bench
          an empty subway train

       A bed of leaves, trending damp
          a knoll of grass behind an exit ramp

       Long-abandoned shacks
    ...

The blue oyster

...It was just like before riding my bicycle along the beach my tire rolls right over a star fish braising bump and scratches on my knee the gulf was thirsty for human blood this year as the manatees fl...

Paramaribo

...In Paramaribo

I met a girl, half Indian and beautiful
there was a big church and a castle
to defend Dutch interest
A hot and swampy place, which I liked
coming from Norway, a cold country

The New King

...

 Simple slacks, nymphomaniacs bent over against the wall

   Training tracks, trapped out shacks three pirouettes then fall

     Switching blues not of the clues pills not measured in balls
...

Symphony of the Sunrise

..."Just breathe, you're having your breath taken, 'Aweigh anchors away,' the blessed follows," ... by The Poet

The unnoticeable lulls a fancy
as obscurity stares at a lost
such are promotions

The Battle of the Two

...The aroma of battle between cheese and charcuterie is in the air,
As the red wine flows and cider that tastes like a pear.

Rack after rack full of bottles to sip,
I race between each place and l...

The Cheese Wars

...
It's a new day as the hot sun starts,
here reporting on the cheese battle.
Overnight the wine and cheese taverns,
moved in for the cracker spread.
The cider & charcuterue shacks,
were ...

Delhi’s Slums

...In Delhi's heart, a tale untold,
Of towering shadows, harsh and cold.
Gleaming steel and vibrant lights,
Hide a stark contrast, unseen at night.

Pan across narrow, winding lanes,
Zoom in on ma...

The Brothers Death

...A brotherly jaunt through sinister mirth
behold the brothers Death: 

gowned and guided, an ill century
the fourteenth, an alliance of crop, of plague
in ground-down death of torrential pains 
...

The Red Dirt Road

...Follow the red dirt road.
Take it slow, walk it,
this is not an exploration
nor a pilgrimage,
it is a short tour around
the beginning of an idea
and its end.

Move along
past the few rural h...

Hurricane Road

...Those dingy streets are filled, 
with lost souls forgotten.
Their hopes have long faded, 
and each dream lies rotten.

Each life holds a story, 
that will never be told.
Among the crumbling sh...
