Short Cretin Poems

Donald Trump my muse does not like
Nor his COVID-19 grave spike
I just can not sleep
'til that cretin creep
Gets the message to take a hike!...

this eight to five office  routine

            can turn one into a cretin,

       while some find it quite bearable,

           others just think it's horrible,

    stretching one's patience far too thin,

             poisoning the spirit within....

Eerie light from far below!
Eerie fire with an eerie glow!
Eerie clouds, or is it eerie hills.
I feel no warmth, just the chills!
An eerie landing from above?
No! It’s Halloween, my love!
The pumpkin man who is he?
It’s a pumpkin can't you see!
Argh! who’s that knocking
O my gosh it’s truly shocking
Children trick or treating
O no! They have just been eaten
By Halloween, the SCARY crettin...

side by side
thick and thin
loquacious verbiage 
spun from within 

fighting a serpent
bastard hearted
mother's shame
venomous cretin

defending honor
battling for all
where are the troops?
why are we alone?

weathering this storm
typhoon tyranny
all the while
standing strong

heads high
chins up
eyes forward
middle fingers extended

I bash fist to chest
in much respect
as chivalry's alive
only one man left

My Word Warrior...

"History's more than a collection of facts...it's about people" by poet.


Black people were stolen,
trodden on and beaten.
Classified a cretin
like an ape in a zoo,
oft whipped and branded too,
some were even eaten.

They were worked until bent,
their heritage was mocked.
Runaway slaves were stalked;
fleeing chains and torment
death was a nonevent,
their every escape, blocked.

Their spirits unbroken,
black hopes have awoken....

Social Media, a much maligned platform 
Neither incites nor recites cretin creeds to form and inform
Cultures and futures steeped in heaps of disorder
Which account holders in their folders call to order
To invent and reinvent possibilities so vile
They invite unfair criticism and cynicism imbued with bile.
Account holders on social media bear their fair share of responsibility
For actions and distractions they inject and project into social media versatility....

Crass ignorance doth propel my heart to anguish, 

Why have thou forsaken me?, 

Is it just for my pithy pleading to wither in the valley of the damned, 

Shall I be cursed to my geography and mine parents whims, 

What insolence has mine cretin thoughts winnowed with these allusions to Science, 

Pray for me Providence for the hour of my reckoning draws nearer, 

Mine blackened heart I give up wholly to you, 

Do with it as you must, as One is Born , One must return to Dust....

 melting snowball 

Fall-out started with the spring-break competition;
Errors were made as team effort slid downhill.
Then when name-calling sparked a partition,
esprit-de-corps broke to a stand-still.

“Butterfingers!” the dig of choice,
sabers, rifles drop in flight.
“Cretin!” answers a voice,
winter guard backbite.

“Bozo, Clod, Clown”
teenage jeers, 
meltdown - 
tears.
