Short Dead Meat Poems

"the, path...the, path"
(thought:
the meeting-dead
dread the meeting
of dead, meeting
the walking dread)...

I once knew a pirate named Pete
There's nothing that he wouldn't eat
He once swallowed a whale
But then choked on the tail
And now he himself is dead meat...

Once Pat was approached at the corner street 
By Johnny, with his offer, indiscreet. 
She pulled out her poet's wit 
With sharp metaphoric grit, 
And blew his macho off into dead meat.

morning mist
reluctance
of yesterday
new wind
of a colorful
spring
red flags ascend
drowning in blood
how long
she is on a mission
crucifixtion
dead meat is
breakfast cold
concrete jungles
the prophet is
unwanted

daisy"s diffident roses reluctant
days shorter n nights darker
dews dance no more mourning
dahlias turned black in sorrow
dancing stars flicker no more
disaster galore weeping women
dead meat deadlier men
disaster around return soon
deadly war dulling mind...

empty sea shells
washed up on the
sea shore
death of a dream
eaten rotten flesh
marine mollusks
barnacles brachipods
she is a conchologist
through her windows
breath of the sea
bits and pieces
of the dead meat
collection is a 
disease
waves and the tides
clams and snails
and chitons
killed and adorned
in our empty homes
of love...

I went out to trick or treat
wearing fake bloodstained hands and feet
Soon I began to get prickly heat
So I jettisoned them in the street
The finder went as white as a sheet
Then dropped dead with no heartbeat
Now I’m feeling like dead meat
How could I be so indiscreet!

From nigh'to morn te' crows knew;
So high yet warm O' owl's claws;
Near vile norm, shadows torn;
Nature's flaws, sins laws;
Rotten dead meat a mouse and retreat;
Vultures and search for dead carcasses;
Owl's Extending their claws, soaring down in free fall;
Vulture soars, they fly, they flew;

In Georgia we get a little taste of Hell with the summer heat,
Surely without our AC we would be dead meat.
It feels like a roaring campfire when you go outside,
You are covered in sweat, and want to run back inside.

It makes you wonder how hot Hell would be,
Although it feels like Hell now at 105 degrees!
We had better live as good as we can be...
The devil won’t be serving any southern iced tea!...

" Yah I'm the candy man, broke my sack. 
 got your money, can't have it back.
 took you heart, and broke it good;
 Can't cry for you, I never could.
 Leave me alone oh, did I say,
 That if you don't, you'll pay, and pay.
  I killed you once, you did not die;
 Good by dead meat, I said good by."

"Saturday,police discovered the body of a young man.
There are no leads in the case, at this time. And,
Police are asking that all......

Stop being such a jerk
Someday your parts won't work
Then you'll wish you were not alone
No one will ask you to their home

You'll think about what you've done
You're not the only one
Who has people in their life
No one will want to be your wife

You will be so lonely
Wishing that you had only
Been nicer to one and all
No one will give you a call

No one will want you then
Not maybe, if  or when
You will wish you had been sweet
Baby, you're going to be dead meat!...

Komodo dragon has serrated teeth
And anything crocodile grabs in his jaws is dead meat
The flowers make nectar that is sweet
But everything that lives must eat

Nature can balance it all
But we believe in existence of soul
Is there more
Something beyond evolution’s control

That which truly might be bliss
It is evolution that needs no reference point through abyss
As intelligence from this point will grow
The great tree of life rises like spring flower from beneath the snow...
