Randy Hoards Brandy
Locks his stash secretly
Basement waterloggs
His animals go fuzz fuzz
Singing Glory to the keeper
"din of a jinn"
feeding to fuel itself on fossils
the beast in the basement
has awakened from
it's summer
slumber
Shallow, I am not, Silence the very thought!
I appreciate truly, A woman’s inner beauty
That’s why I dissect them in my basement
basement concrete blocks
unfinished and grayscale
ominous feeling
imagining corpse
has there been a murder here
I get the shivers
Dear Jessica
Thanks for emailing
Even if you are a
45 year old guy smoking stogies in your basement
With a hard drive full of JPG babes.
we arrive at a house
we are brought to the basement
a large room full of toys
next door, a bedroom
you will stay here the adults say
this is heaven

The nation faced such doom and gloom
Men gathered in a basement room
The gunpowder plot
Was brilliant- NOT
And parliament never went boom
Praying Mantis at basement door
I had not seen you here before
So lime green you stand out
Scarey enough to make me shout
Died next day in pool filter__gore
OH - nonny, NO - nonny
Nicholas Goalsworthy
Promised again to
Renounce alcohol.
Characteristically
Incomprehensible,
Muttering epithets,
Cursing the wall.
Treasure cache in a basement.
Trophies of past passions exhibited with pride.
Years of boasting are secured.

Since big as a house, she wasn’t appealing
So there was no use in her concealing
Her enormous gut
Along with her butt
That came with a basement, floor and a ceiling
I store
my dreaming
in a basement
far below
others' vision
I store
my wanting
in a glass
jar
ready to shatter
open
and capture
before they all
fly away.
Little mouse ran into
the closet, not
seeing the mouse trap,
such a clatter that
old trap made, poor
little mouse should
have stayed in
the basement.

Boys Becoming Men
From the Basement of Springfield
Welcome to 'Da House'
Where Minds Are Challenged and Shaped
Since 1867
Tap, tap, bang sounds coming from basement door
Haven't been down there in over a score
Now afraid of that sound
Louder now with a bam
Open the door attacked by laundry galore
Rain has stopped
The occurrence of
Sporadic heat
Yet in the basement,
Cool and dark,
I lay not wanting to
Move not wanting
To do anything
But to dream of the
Woman I love
Humanity
comes before
the fact
Sentimentality
comes
after
One steeped
in joy
the other remorse
To shout from
the basement
— or rafters
(The New Room: August, 2025)
An unusual smell in the air
Bright stains on the wall
Colour of the carpet
Dull, dull, dull darkness
Except for some dry areas
Further from the wall is
untouched by water
Red Over Red
Which You've Already Ruined
Deer Reader, I Am Wayyyyyy...
You Get It.

Hiding far away in the basement
Up high in the shelf's net
You have seen generations after generations
A precious bowl to thee
For a lifetime to seal
For our mouths only to speak
Stevie is no aberration
Many spoiled forty-year-old men
Now live in mama’s basement
Playing video games all night
Sleeping all day while mama does their laundry
And makes their meals
Winter supply of firewood stashed.
A neat pile stored in the basement
A testament to hard work.
The smell of mushrooms lingers.
We're ready for cold weather.

I'm trying to go from bottom to top like basement to top floor Crustacean the Condor
Bottom of the Basin
To the top of the rock formation Raising my elevation till
I'm high as a concord
There are screams coming from the basement
I can hear them through the cement
Here come the tears
For I have no fears
Love is gone forever
Just pull the lever
Let me die
Just don't lie
