A cancerous smoke blower
Killer of my child...

John Doe was a prince of a guy
Who forgot to zip up his fly
So out in the snow
John started to grow
When a snow-blower passed him by . . ....

a leaf blower not music to the ears
its incessant bloviate
from morning                  until night.

October
Mowing over
Buy blower
Flame thrower
Leaves smolder
Smoky odor
Feeling bolder
Getting older

The Trumpet Blower
The seat pushed higher never lower
Always trying to trump
Swaying  the gloating rump

Here's a real mind blower, a juicy wee titbit
Ralph Lauren's actual real name is Ralph Lifshitz
Why change it to Lauren
Thought the “shitz” would offend
We never know what's real or if we're kibitzed...

I waited for the day to come 
When the whistle will blow 
For it to let me know 
That the time was now 

It never happened 
Do it now the time is now 
For there is never a whistle nor a blower 
To tell you to do...

Leaves
By Miracle Man
9-7-2019

Kaleidoscopic leaves
void of sound.

Floating effortlessly 
seeking the ground.

With tree moult finished 
they’re my headache.

Going to extreme
to avoid blower & rake.

If you've recently watched Jeopardy, Austin's a mind blower  
With unbelievable knowledge and a delightful antics ogre
Keeps all of us watching
Big dollars he's notching
But someone will end the reign of this brilliant all knower...

Noisy mankind 
Riding mower machines.
Rip the cord. Rev the engine.

Bang the nail, throw debris.
Point the blower, louder, faster.
No one heard the angelus ring.

Everyone forgot to pray
The churches fell
And came the last day.

Afternoon autumn
Our neighborhood goes crazy
Like living in a dentist’s office

Drilling sucking blowing
Whining wincing scraping

Gurgle

My head tilted back
With a book on my chest
Mouth wide open
Staring into the glare of the final high sun....

My name should be Lucille.
I am that squeaky wheel.
If some things wrong I'll weigh it.
I'm not afraid to say it.
Some may not want to know her.
She's been a whistle blower.
I'm not a quiet bird.
My voice is always heard.
I'll never give you peace, so
just give me that grease....

An Inupiat "slow-grower"
Believed he could sink no lower
When an icicle rose
On the tip of his nose
He won "Number 1 Snow Blower"

 * * * * 

A cold polar bear did stutter
And folk thought he was a nutter
But God loved him a bunch
And dropped off his lunch
With buckets of peanut butter....

My John Deere tractor is my favorite toy.
There’s nothing better that I enjoy.
I have many attachments I use every day,
That are used for more than just play.

My backhoe, chipper, and snow-blower are my friends.
Without them, my work would never end.
I love my tractor, it’s right outside.
Nature feeds my soul, as I take a ride....

Glaze the glass and blow
liquid luster, lava flow
Twirl the oven, hallucinate
Clink the cooling 'till it breaks
Make it cobalt, gold flecked muse
Shallow breath to counter fuse
Hollow bubble on sweating metal
Sting of lungs by the great glass nettle
The end is a bauble to be bought by the buyer
Born from the heat from the un-ending fire....

The silliest neighbors are getting on my nerves.
Always wanting to borrow a car or a snow blower.
Asking for money, and I wish I was kidding.
My dad said I should start asking them first.
Maybe he has a point.
But what if they say “no”
What if they stop speaking to me?
What if we stop being friends?
How will I get my stove and my husband back?...

It’s Autumn!
Throw open the Windows
Get out the Leaf Blower
What falls on the Lawn
We’ll just Mow over
Get out the Shotguns
To clear out the spiders
Be careful about Grandma
In the cellar making Cider
We have new neighbors
What’d you say,Hoke?
Our cleaning may scare’ em ?
Screw Em’ if they can’t take a  joke
Light the Fireplace
And see if it smokes....

I'm sitting in a pile of leaves
waiting for the mad to comb my hair.
My eyebrows are dead butterflies.
The wind comes with sips of water.

My wife has gone
to buy a rich, heavy, fruit cake,
she will bring it home
on a pick-up truck.

I'm just okay here,
soon I will have to move though,
this day needs me to stitch it together
with a Chinese leaf blower.

In the heaven above
The sky was packed
With too much snow
So the angels thought of a solution
And aimed their snow blower
To a special spot
That cleared the snow from above

Slowly the snow funneled
Down to the earth

Then it became stormy
It was like that all day long

The wind blew the snowflakes everywwashere
Along the walking path

It was impossible to see
It was very stormy
No one ventured outside...

The system aborts.
(Multiple organs failure)
A deviant art
of dying pompously.

I wish, I was on a -
moving floor, sailing
without a walk, looking at
the camouflaged ceiling.

The shrill voice of a whistle-
blower, mimics an opera.
I will snatch the words,
raw, from your lips. 

It was here, in absence.
Your  poesy, matter-of-factly.
Can you raise your voice
against the fall of the thing.

May our eyes be Godful
From the soil of our feet
To the mind washed of prejudices
Judgement and fear

May we walk as children hand in hand
The presence of our minds 
Like leaves from a blower
Alarmed with the moment

Making smiles of sidewalk glares
Easing tension at the tables
Letting loose crazy-kindness

Into each others eyes we must dig
Like shoveling angels

So that we may watch miracles grow
From your mind to ours...
