Sticks in containers,
Patiently wait on my lawn
For me to plant them.

Definite volume but
Not shape containers hold them
Slightly loose in space.

Where's My Mask Now
aromas waltzing
tainting enclosed containers
occupants recoil

Lightly scuff the seeds with sandpaper or a file
and soak overnight. Then plant in the ground
or in containers or both. If in the ground,
mark the spot so you remember where you
planted as some may wait until Spring to
germinate. Good luck.

Comedic contortionist claims clubfeet;
consider carefully, circus clowns cheat.
Chico chipped Carson City's carved concrete
clumsily chiseling cheap cardboard containers.
Charlatans can calm capitol complainers
confounding Congressional campaigners.

lunacy lept
is it not clear
answer no one
answer me
ear wax dripping
boiling containers
of
ink
wick
burning
heat itches
scratches momentarily
begging for bleed
looking to bleed
fire bleeds
lunacy
look
its
weeping
over the cleft
lunacy wept

This diet calls for seven containers,
large, medium, small, all in bright colors;
And all this for a $60 fee,
Have some already for free,
Again, a diet to make me lighter.

This day,
I feel the metal rails shiver,
hear a distant loco coming,
bound upon its fixed route.
I move on,
enter the scattered brush,
no need to turn around
to look at those many
freight containers rumbling by.
This day
I'm on a pathless journey,
my boxcar is empty, my cargo light.
The world crosses over me,
moves on.

he fills the bottles slowly
no need for miracles
prescription drugs
save the soul
wash away the sins
with a glass of water
take two and call me
tomorrow
the pain of the world
written on paper
prayers answered
little purple pills
the people’s god
rattle in plastic containers
they stand in line
waiting their turn
giving their money
to drugstore jesus

Here I stare in despair.
Searching for lid for my Tupperware.
Containers of all shapes and sizes.
But not one lid arises.
OH! You might discover a hidden lid or two.
But cannot find one that will fit for you.
Someone help me! I beg to know!
So please tell me, Just where did they go?
If you believe life just isn't fair.
Remember we all must share the same despair.

They say Maestro,
but standing ovations leave me cold
like leftover spaghetti too long in the fridge
then thrown out with the trash,
where all useless things end up
leaving only empty containers.
The music no longer inspires
to heights unattainable;
the magic of spotlights
no longer warms my lonely nights,
as you did once long ago
before I let ovations and spotlights
replace the essence of you.

Peace drum
Microscopic world from which we come
A world of curious imagination creating some
A life of insignificance but life urges to breathe to hum
Empty containers like a black hole then life it sprung
The riches of how you are designed to live under the sun
We are alike and dis-alike to every creature of a kingdom run
Ever stretching between our boundaries but more enlightened like a tapping drum

TRASH
You treat me like a trashcan with a touch-top lid
Giving me your unwanted garbage
Used carcass of hurtful words
Empty containers of your so called opinions
Balled up paper of your dirty attitudes
Smelly tin cans of your hate
Your unwanted leftovers of vengeance
But I am strong, I can be washed,
I have a strong purpose
I am doing my part to make things better
But I can’t say the same about you

On a walk in the ‘burbs
I was startled to see
Two squirrels at work
In a way new to me.
Each was clenching, with teeth,
Something plastic and weird
(For a squirrel, at least,
That is how it appeared.)
One raced with a container
That used to hold milk
And the other’s held mustard
Or food of that ilk.
So my question is what
Were they planning to do
With containers like that?
Oh, how I wish I knew!

The apple....is what appeals,
desire to possess,undressing zeal
intoxicating is the power,in which you feel.....
Unappealing,is it's corruptive force
burning fires which entice divorce,but,
divorce from a higher source,our higher course,
distractive attractions which create the porous.....
Containers made defective,never able to hold the light,
the lustful desires,are what's presented,and which we must fight.....

Salt gives flavour to what is
Otherwise bland. The attributes
Of Jesus laid out by God’s almighty
Hand. Be salt today at home, and on
The job. Beware the devil comes only
To steal, destroy, kill and rob.
Salt of the earth, light in a dark place
Demonstrate the character and virtue
Of the saviour. Containers for power
In this earthen vessel made of clay,
Filled with God’s word to distribute
Each and every day.

I went to a nude beach one time
Where tanning was filling their needs
Ronald MacDonald in his prime
Showed his buns of sesame seeds
That's a crazy way to see a clown
But that wasn't the show stopper
Heads turned around and jaws fell down
When burger King showed his whopper!
The Dairy Queen's milk containers
Really caused most of the uproar
They looked the same, but twice the size
No one saw jugs that large before!

Fill up the tin on the back porch swing
with rainwater lilies and daisies
Set out the blanket out past the thicket
grasshopper's tuning up lazy
Baskets of raspberries staining containers
ready to swim in champagne
Sun about bursting so swollen with pride
Clouds about doing the same
Pine needles sweeten the taste buds for eating
Hummingbird shadows like bees
Music and artistry of our Creator
bringing us down to our knees.

I truly Miss my Mother she died very young at 97
I would go to my mothers house
Looking for food and open her frig.
What would I see 10 butter containers
None with labels full of leftovers
How does she know what’s in those containers
A system she said the right were vegetables
The left was meat and the middle
Was all the goodies she loved to eat
I asked which one was butter and she said:
Only a fool puts butter in the frig.

Hollyhocks will not let me go;
hold my hands.
Shying away
they were turning to ashes.
In the night, wisteria
emanates a hungry cry.
Though wind had announced
sun has not kept the promise.
I gasp for the body silver
like ancient lust,
pure and paranoid –
asking for the head of a spider.
This non-violent resistance
seeks more space to pasteurize
the beautiful milk in gold containers.
A passion flower was going to melt.

Come to the waters as they freely flow
from that vast life giving stream.
Drink many draughts of the water of life,
it is pure, refreshing and clean.
You need no containers to fill yourselves up,
this source is entirely free.
I guarantee that the contents are there,
to sustain every family!
So drink in abundance and drink your fill,
no drought will ever arise;
For the Master Controller will turn on the tap
when He hears your request from on high.

Verse
Community organizers
and multiculturing regenerators
and organic whole food farmers
all agree
we tend to end up
back to where historically empowered nutritional voices
start.
Look at all these old white men
in their predominantly red meat patriarchal ties.
Is this a cabinet
made of polyculturing organic containers
for regenerate multicultural growth?
Or a funeral
for the not too soon departing
all WhiteHouse?
(but I have too much to declare)

Political Verse
poor poe mustache trimmed method
acting out blood and lace.
masquerade guest wandering
outside during the intermission.
across the street on 14th and stark
there will be wine.
brightly colored illuminated swords
stopping traffic..
along the wall there are large oak barrells and
oversized plastic containers stained purple.
all that is left from last season is a polished
aluminum garage door full of square windows
that looks out into the night.

Blank verse
The orange juice was being sold
At quite a nifty price.
I bought a few containers,
Feeling proud, not thinking twice.
But something made me double-check,
Since looks would not suffice,
And that is when I noticed
What I don’t think’s very nice.
Each orange juice container,
Looking normal, to entice,
Was a bunch of ounces smaller,
So I offer this advice:
When a bargain is presented,
You can always roll the dice,
But from corporate America,
There’ll be no sacrifice.
