Short Bracket Poems

Untimely was Hamilton Hicks
In making his basketball picks.
He knew it all well,
How each bracket fell,
But always too late with his clicks.

My dear dad’s wearing his letter jacket,
Running football in his ageless bracket.
Stars in his eyes not too wise.
Mama sees through his disguise.
Open arms, she intercepts his racket.

Acclaim and fame
sudden
as a March wind,
so quickly
               fade..
pale
      under scrutiny
on closer inspection:
gilded hoops
through which
to jump,
into
the bracket
of
real life...

Time of the hour is less then the seal on a bracket
Time forces you to think about more than satisfaction
But, because we are like human ones it's no bean to weigh
the difference between the unhappiness....

Heavens above, hold the sky 
Below them lies a life bracket 
In it is a magic crystal of glory 
Men woo and yarn for it always 
It compels emotions and feeling 
Rejuvenates tension and stress 
      Beauty!...

Here A Brisket And There A Bracket

Briskets and brackets  can be high or low;
Or else you may either win, place or show;
In a contest,
To be best,
And do better higher  and faster must go.

For so long He was a null set
A bracket containing nothing,
Last elements made him upset 
Left alone,  anticipating 

Till the inevitable came
Beautiful element emerge,
Destiny knew they had the same
Same connection made to be merge

Now the element is contained 
Alone in the heart of the set
Sense of completeness is attained 
The lad is finally a set!...

within the bracket of the universe 
                                     God has made all divisions
                     increased and expanded by multiplication one by one
                              added with systematic communication
                                at last destroys causes subtraction
                        in the same way everything changes in our lives...

“Apple of his eyes, yes that’s me. Can’t you see?"
Name brand bags
Toys galore
Outfits like crazy ONLY Hanna Montanna got more.

Check out the pony he brought me last month
Check out the mini diamond bracket and check out my bank account.

Daddy’s little princess, yes, that’s me.
Daddy says he will take me to Paris as soon as he closes the deal.
“Apple of his eyes, yes that’s me. Can’t you see?"...

Police approached his bathroom door
Guns drawn in dramatic fashion
In answer to his 911
Noting that his face was ashen

He told them that He locked the door
After waking to the racket
They said, "That was fast thinking sir,"
"To fight crime's, more in our bracket"

It turned out to be a Roomba
There was no thief to charge the crime
Although they had to write it down,
It got a nickel and a dime!...

bitter pages, brittle as they turn
my fingers traced these lines before
or were they yours

cursive notes penned, nestled in the margin
scrawled hurriedly first in candle light dim
scratched through then at the looming dawn
here is the passage trapped in a bracket
to signify it your best-loved

Carolingian proverbs of affection and death
mastered in memory to the last, flawless word
only once to impart at dinner...
