Like playing marbles
    losing scruples,tension mounts
         a force quadruple......

ostrich swallows clock
                                            stuck in throat, alarm goes off

September, sands cool.
Ghosts occupy lifeguard nests.
Blue parents waiting for 
blue school buses....
carrying blue brained children
led into blue tongued lizard pits 
by blue cell phone mist.

Alien Captain Darth Veeder
Texted, "Take me to your leader"
He met Donald Trumup
And snarled, " What a grump!
You must be The Sludge-brained Tweeter!"

I was born in the hearth of the snowbelt
knee deep winters-pond hockey 
a long driveway with a small coal shovel
pegging cars with snowballs
long slogs to school
slow brained learner
like an icy march river
-praying so hard for snow days....

Samuelson was a scatter brained wizard
One day he zapped himself into blizzard 
          Used wand upside down
           His nickname was clown
He vanished, now wife has a pet lizard

Undoubtably 

Half brained is normal me,
sucking boiling hot black tea,
hundred degrees, shade outside,
Aussies drink hot tea inside,
Yet enjoy,undoubtably

President Trump: inane, bird-brained dude
Twitters and tweets: just plain insane, rude

the tortoise-shaped cloud
as tall as a skyscraper 
and a half as wide
floats slowly across blue sky
with no hare-shaped cloud to race

patchy cloudy sky
with shapely stories to tell
hare-brained ideas 
and the tortoise will always
slowly and steadily win

She finds her true love from another man
when ogling him for herself
When everything there isn't what she needs
a heart ignore the quelf

That everything there isn't what she'd know
a heart can be contained
When everything there isn't what she'd want
a heart ignore the brained...

The sphere of influence influenced me spherically
With no core
Left brained hemisphere confused
Like right handed athlete
Co-ordination on my medulla-oblongata 
Peripheral nervous system shuttered down
As cranial nerves refused to send impulses 
Failure to interpretation on my cerebrum
Lead to my confusion.

Listen to poem:

I am two different people
Superficially the same

One inside the romantic
and totally right brained

the other is pragmatic
intellectualizing all

A dichotomy of thought on two different keys
a melody together, two harmonies apart

A symphony when played
cacophony to part

I am addicted to raspberry tea

   I prefer it to a fine French Chablis

      If alcohol it contained

         I'd stagger about half-brained

            Guzzling gallons to gratify me

Levity, leveret
Too phony, coney
Bucks for the buck
And dough to see doe

Hare-brained, hilarious
Rabbit died laughing
That’s funny, bunny
The kittens will grow

You don’t know jack, rabbit
We’re in high cotton
Hightail it out of here
Peter, you know

Toss in the pepper
You got hassenpfeffer
Throw in a carrot
That’s Bugs’ old show...

not even a shift in the night
or a bass chuka-chuka;

they will darken the humble sellers
of shrunken, dusty oranges

maybe a bad mouth,yellow teeth,
passed words to the birdmen

to crack open the sky,
a black walnut, half-brained

a ball of string,the smell of fire,
bags of sudden song,burnt shout of

hot and hot and hot;
nothing to put back together...

Monstrous
gruesome
hideous
odious
nefarious
ugly 


yet


imperious

            brainy
            grainy
            strainy
            cranny

and

            snooty
            about 
            petty booty


passionate
in dark
quite stark
shameless
deceptive
grave
terrible


she is screw brained and gets in brain.

Hot raptor breath
Push goosebumps to life
On the golden-honey flesh
Of a most desired sight.

Deeply tanned and rubenesque,
Unsheathed, scented shoulders.
Arms that distill without cause to beckon
The wills of the penile-brained knights.

Wallow in her moist pink flower.
Defend with your armor that nymphet tower.
But beware, Dear Sir, should your eye slip up
Two orbs of Venus power....

SILENT STREAMS

Silent streams resonate yesterdays
puddles
while we discount that our lives are
packed with lunatic
floods
let’s talk of strawberries that are
tasteful and succulently
arduous

We are as gentle as the storms
eye
as mild as a quiet hare-brained
crazy mad-capped
fire 
we whisper that our universe
and splendour can never
expire

W inds whip  lassos of snow encumbered razor rodeo ropes

I ce glare blinding beauty stealing sane men’s secret hopes

N ever mind the sun has wandered down a lonesome trail

T ethered now to mountains so the twilight sky looks frail

E dgy nights attack lone hearts with blue brained Northern Lights

R iling men to suicide on endless time dead nights

Through googly eye's
and a warm-browed telling
I see that summer is fast coming
the panting wind proclaims it.

As contrarily as a dude can get
I wish for a fresher breeze
a knee twinging chill or two
not many
just a pinch of a light blue
mildness.

Lunch will be brunch today,
and then a nap
between cold beers.

Summer days
are as hazy-brained as ever
I remember,
just before
night flips its switch....

Because it's said of some sweet spice 
A sly and wise old cook Ma Nature
Slipped into their feathery brew
  
While you and I, big-brained creatures 
That we are – clumsy fools
Ignore cell signals

Breaking each others hearts 
And holy rules, breaking each other’s 
Wings and dreams of flight

Instinct informs these poets of the air
The gift of flight encoded in their genes
They find each other – rare attracting rare....

Pleasantly
Bull headed, bird brained, chicken and foxy
From a bramble of a family tree
A lover of Cohen, Midler and Dennis Lee
Who regularly feels awe, paralyzing angst, and humility
Fearing the end of birds singing, seasons changing and liberty
Hoping to see a Purple Martin, a Gyrfalcon, and fifty
Proudly from Vanier
Weird

Your racing bike is broken with a bad derailleur.
   I look back at my life and admit it’s a failure.
   If a daft old hen laying scrambled eggs, so sad, can, 
   Then I will concede that I’m an addle-brained madman. 
Like a leafless tree holding a kite frame skeleton, 
Your arms and my legs are no stronger than gelatin. 
   As an eagle whose threadbare wings will no longer fly, 
   It’s time now for me to find a quiet place to die....

Saving credits for a trip to the stars,
A cave at Alba Mons volcano:
Ancient secrets, flowing bars;
Greenish women, so Bueno;
Artifacts, old, Martian,
Calling me to hug.
Beetle auction.
Red dust bug.
Big brained,
Life,
Love.
Misplaced
Mementos
Belonging to
Polka-dot fellows
Sexy ladybugs knew.
A rust-colored threesome
In waters that ran chilled and new;
But, air-thinned with delirium,
And a dusty marriage Mars did eschew....
