Short Cumbersome Poems

Hunger in the soup line
We eat each other alive
Cumbersome human buffet....

The cumbersome acting student told a gargantuan lie 
Showing many of us cast member he was simply not the guy
Can you envision the rage and discontent? Are you willing to try?...

I once knew a woman in Hackensack
Toted what she had in a small rucksack
As she walked the streets,
Looking for someone neat
To take the cumbersome load off her back.

The overgrown Amazon ape
With his furry tree trunk wide nape
Flew over wearing a red satin cape
Birds cringed at his cumbersome shape
He carried a bag made of crepe
In plum, fuchsia and possibly grape
A fancy one-of-a-kind hairy ape...

whether report

on the first day of December
wind howled
banshee death screams
wuthering at windows
whiteouts shroud the cabin
from a cumbersome world
cold clambers up the steps
creeps under my front door
settles in my soul

I must leave....

Never tired, work!
When tired, rest!
When over tired, sleep!

Never working, work!
Cumbersome work, rest!
And after concluding the task, sleep!


I love it when it's not in any form
I like the way the sky is now.

...Merriment under pill!...

A drunk man stumbles out of any bar 
Looks at a sky marred with stars 
Inside looks he, a void he spys 
Tears brim fragmented eyes
He feels it-- 
Bestowed burden cumbersome

In the hands of man-- 
The brand,
To think  
To be  
To become 
To not... 
Is him  
Is we...

Camaro
                                Sleek, fast
                       Racing, flirting, streaking
                 Sexy, fine, cumbersome, chunky,
                    Plodding, plugging, inching,
                     Serviceable, dependable
                               Minivan...

"When your life feels cumbersome
And you're crowded
I'll give you space
I'll give you the entirety of the universe
To scream and shout to
And you can do so
It has no air
So save that the Earths lungs should speak for it
And decide to echo you
what breath would it use
To shout back?"...

Shadows cover the bullet by half.


Father buck scavenges berries.


Offspring of His fathers faith.


Man waits high in the larch. 


Cumbersome stomach.


Rifle prepared.


Trustworthy.


Patient.


Time.

Quite a cumbersome ball and chain;
Regrets are best left in the past.
They engender headache and pain.
Quite a cumbersome ball and chain.
Don't keep them; there's nothing to gain.
The sting of regret never lasts.
Quite a cumbersome ball and chain;
Regrets are best left in the past.

Seriously, who's gonna love 
A sick girl like me?
One who is insecure
And as weak as can be?

Nervous and cumbersome
Exasperating and intense
Always asking if you love me
Nothing but a nuisance

What do you love about me today?
Am I a pretty and thin like your ex?
Do you like who I am?
Do you see me just for sex?...

Steve’s past baggage was cumbersome
A heavy, sad, depressing load
A driver who made a mistake
as a teenager, only seventeen
two of his best friends died in the car wreck
his life was never carefree or joyful again
he held on to depression and sorrow
enraged at his mistake
living less than a half life
refusing to take it to the Lord in prayer...

strange how the day shuts down, suddenly bleak,
as when the dawn crested three-quarters past six.
cumbersome eyelids befriend pen and ink —
outline of skinny trees, lack of stars,
hush’d homes — fig leaves do not hide them.
visible neighbors smoking chimneys.
the sooted smell of winterscape
as she falls fast asleep.

A sailors moon
reddened with lost love
scarlet in sorrow
serenading deaths victims
in a desperate plea for them to come home

A sailors moon
dark with the desperation of lovers
a farewell speech
a fleeting mirage of familiarity
a forgotten fragility of the heart

A sailors moon
cold and cumbersome
heavy and burdensome
only to be lifted with the light of day...

Translucent lillies line my hollow heart and with every beat my heart blooms
Barren soil nourishes my mind and with every thought death looms
My spine is twined together with cobwebs and every spring im engulfed in life
My cumbersome impulses dance in my mind's eye with    lighting, caressing my 
skin like a drunken lover illuminating and devastating my senses...

Refuse IT. All that suffocating apathy
Use IT... that god-given ability

Lose IT... all that cumbersome weight 
Gain IT... that beautiful dream you contemplate 

Cherish IT... the precious gift of life
Evade IT... all negativity and strife

Build IT or dismantle IT

Chase IT or Escape IT

But first, you have to see IT
Then boldly go face IT

I'm on the brink
not much more
canI take this
No longer am I able
to commiserate about mylife
 I must do something
before an unfortunate circumstance
A cumbersome feeling ascends
I must be quick
before my time depletes
To my knees I drop
begin to pray from my core
problems begin to diminish
Light descends around me
I feel a celestial presence
and now know I am SAVED...

                            Subjective, questionable 
                          Building, creating, reacting 
                Colony, anger, happiness, perspective

October tumbled into November
And brown leaves 
Wilted, damp and derelict
Loafed idly beneath trees
That stretched naked
Amongst the rich 
Sweet floral,
Of the winter Jasmine.

Oak trees cried
 Slow tears
Of brown and orange,
That permeated 
A scent of watery fruit
And lavender -
- Dreaming of spring,
And prodding the
Neighbouring birch trees
With cumbersome boughs
Like an errant brother....

Bear.....

stone clad shores
welt beneath your warmth
fir lined trees
stand silent in your presence
misted waters raise to greet a vibrant sky in jubilation

as salmon fight ferocious rapids
you
intent
listen and watch
baited breath
silent

your cumbersome claw hovers as a wieghtless mosquito
dancing hithertoo
for that oh so perfect
catch

titanium
spray
avoids your touch
end the salmon's day...

Society’s Eyes

Society sees me
As something I am not
As someone who is to be
In their society until they rot
But not everyone
Wants to be a part
Of what just anyone
Will be in, fast as a dart
Not everyone wants
To be represented by some
Who don’t know them, who daunts
In a way that is cumbersome
Because they don’t belong
In their perfect world, so so long

Future will very soon come
In a flash making you old
Laziness is cumbersome
Whereas time is pure gold
But, patience is awesome
You are great, if you hold
Cling to hope and just wait
Sing a prayer to feel bright
Bring out God's real might
Time will escape with speed
By making us damn aged
A fine life we must lead
Time must be well-managed
Our need must exclude greed
Our faith must not be damaged....
