Our armor dented but strong
Builds altars of love...

Listen to poem:

Cans lie strewn, litter
tossed away, discarded trash.
Dents - defile, deform
the perfect container form.
Wanton abuse uncalled-for.

Fat, oblong, rotund, roly poly
elongated, flawed, stubby,
dented, dusty, malformed
oranges globes - scattered
helter skelter - in rows
of farmers' fields......

Our Senator thought he’s flying high,
then with dented pride he wondered why,
he received his reward,
the walking eagle award,
‘cause he’s so full of poop he can’t fly....

Hinted Head Was Cemented

Snowman had been cemented;
Head was cracked and dented;
Rather odd,
Said to God,
And Trump should be vetted.

worn-white zafu,
dented permanently
and wryly receiving
my bottom and my word
"permanently."

It shows impressions
from my demanding waitings,
just as my mind does.

Ah! The problem....

driving away slow
   enchanted by metaphors…
        rice pelting our car
   white picket fences ahead
dented cans streaming behind

We think we are safe 
but it is our wrong thinking.
We are surrounded with enemies 
attack us in our mindset people has a volcano 
erupting in their body dented scratches of lava rising in our bones....

DENTED CANS

Took a bag of trash
To the curb inside the bag
Garbage, dented cans

Want to rid the traumas
Of your frown laden head?
Visit the cemetery,
And give it to the dead;

They seek not like mortals
In dented greedy urns,
Small favours once bestowed 
That was done for returns.

Big Bang 
Broken Bed 
Collapsed Mattress
Dented Headboard 
Scattered Sheet's 
Torn Pillows 
Rooms a Mess
Clothes strewn everywhere 

Right
That's it Kid's 
Time for Bed
If I have to come upstairs 
You better be asleep...

Dented World With Sins

With our sins world had dented, 
And so we finally had repented; 
World she did storm, 
With her new form; 
Both Christ and God consented.

Now I wonder who this poem
was written about.

Folklore drifts
past cobblestone
like ash.
Along High street,
I traipse through secrets,
foraging
ghosts in
Castle Rock’s
slate gaze.
I stir up
ancestors
to warm my spirit
as an Auld Reekie dawn
bares 
its dented armor....

the bottom of the hour 
                                 glass is passed
                                        for a
                                  dented  flask
                            that  still  holds sway

Dented Aluminum 

once, kick the can was a lovely
game to play, but not nowadays

as shiny cellphones and prized
handheld games govern the day, 

what a heavy price we will pay,
dented aluminum decays away

our alumni cry out their tired eyes
as hourly the ozone melts, always

There is something to savour
in that very first nick
blemish
scratch

dent

What ever it may be
it's yours now 
baptized
utilized

broken in

There is utter liberation
a tossing of fears
as pristine 
can't

dented can

Feathered ornaments delight
Softening the darkened night
We’ve seen what many saw before
While there was an open door
Down the streaking light foray
Softening the dented day
Cacophony, increasing sound
Warring, calling all around
Candid blessings soft reprise
Will His touch make us more wise?...

on the darkened asphalt
scattered, shattered dreams
didn't feel the crash
though silently I scream

shards of recognition
laying at my feet
dented metal memories
that now seem not as sweet

blown rubber realization
the heart can't be revived
emt's take the body
spirit showing no signs of life...
