Short Attics Poems

shores are desolate
tired vicious waves
listen to desolation
uncover secrets...

Garages, attics and living rooms
are used as bedrooms by brides and grooms.

Svelte Sylvia loved acrobatics
She did it in gyms and in attics
She did a pole vault
And a triple somersault
She is known as a fitness fanatic...

Ripped and tea soaked
blobs and blips
sellotaped the breaches 
shine and dust drenched attics
where sunlight picks its points
moments lost and rescued
wait somewhere
within the back
of my mind...

       Beat Poets

  We're cool and we're hip.
  We're writing everything
  you wish you wrote before.
  We live in attics smoke weed
  and drink cheap wine. We bleed
  Howl and Ginsberg's other tears.

Whisper
words of your love 
into my soul's psyche,
etching into my memories
echoes

of times
now stored inside dusty attics;
forgotten in the end,
a summer spent
with you.  

Whisper
echoes
of times
with you....

'math'...them
attics...

they be

'knot'...buzzing
without quest-shuns...

of

being...as some phi-loss-of-phi
contradict-shun in itself as just...

'a knot'...until-actually seen as an
no-there meant-all ab's track of mind...

He is not guilty,
But someone in here is
I have two kids
Sometimes acts like pigs
No violence
I love my kids, don’t touch them
Thanks for the hem
On Jem’s pants
One shot, on the spot
Never did in years, never will
As long as my kids are not around and Dill...

Excited steampunk creators
Designing in dastardly studios and attics
Working with fascinating gears and copper levers
A whole new world envisioned in a collective remembrance
Jules Verne watches from his heavenly seat and smiles
Admiring his octopus box from 1869....

we awaken
for a moment 
to remember 
all that was sacrificed.
then, one by one
we take them down
and pack them away. 
the ornaments,
the memories,
we place them
carefully 
into our attics
and closets
until next year,
when we dust them off
and try again
and cry again
for peace on earth...

Angel figurines acquired over five decades--
Bought, found in attics, given by friends and family—
Cover many shelves. Their delicate beauty never fades.
Delighted with the joy they bring, she vows there will be
More soon, to add to the appealing variety.

Amazing armor apparels
An amazing apparatus
Appearing and ascending
Above all aimless attics
All are attics
After assigning apparent actions
Amongst atmospheric allies…also
Assembles and annexes an anecdote
Animals also assemble and apprehend
Any available areas
Alert and aware about alternatives,
Apportionment among animals are
Actually awesome....

Clearing up
Ideas and concepts
Airing out
Attics and musty closets
Freeing up
Vitality and emotions
Channeling
Energy and growth
Feeling
Whole and in control
Redefining
Living and being me

Ice on the petal -a shadow slides in
Broadsiding virgin light is what shadows do best

As emotions summit, this is the time to dread most
when hearts are hammered 
by devilish anvils
coaxed along by blue ghosts. 

Gray attics are where all memories will lay
panic lives just below in a distraction called.. 
a new day

Ice on the petal
in the middle of heat waves
salted blackbirds halo the grave....

number addicts unfreeze the itch
in their number attics where-in

a'top any...
"logic-call" be
counts in/of...

all four directions as
imaginary number concepts
 
that be just...
multiples of square roots
of a minus-one...

yielding imaginary pictures giving a
shape/form to illustrate some space-time

that's unseen and so then given...
a number-mask by the mind that's
not of numbing-brrrrrs...

These are the spaces I confide
These are the narrow crevices 
These are the places I reside
These are the secure refuges

Upstairs attics with small windows
The quiet corners where I go
The hidden chambers no one knows
Downstairs cellars through secret doors

There I have my room for dreaming
Room to create and postulate
Pose questions and probe for meaning
Riddles and rhymes to contemplate

In there the world does not dictate
And there I have less room for hate....
