Short Dents Poems

Air blows past the branch
The dents are veins of silence
A past living thing

Divots of foot prints
Moor small creatures in their dents
Till the sea relents

Bumper rusted with dents
Alley in the rear dark and tense
Coming around a behind the fence
Knife’s with gilded hilt shows finger prints...

Listen to poem:

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

dogwood blooms open 
revealing the cross Christ bore 
center crown of thorns 

nail dents on petals 
edge of petals is blood-stained 
glorious Easter

Oh for the good old days, life was simpler then
Up with the birdies, then to the office we went
Traffic was a breeze
No, you first please!
Now it's amazing, to survive without dents...

It's that time of the year with all the warm temps
Girlies undress exposing their bumps and dents
As I watch em go by
Lose control of my eyes
Bugging out real big, things stand on end...

Long Stints of Turbelence

Things were shaky and possessed turbelence;
And they always seemed to last for long stints;
In grass played;
Laid in shade,
Until they did smooth out wrinkles and dents.

Soledad is a fruit
          that doesn't rot...
          Always present,
          always bitter...
          it's not thorn
          no petal...
          but in the soul,
         always causes
           dents... !...

Every dune set a windless descent
when we let it
No moon a path without us
Crafted perfection no dents
Turning windmills required
our smiles
The wind's own motion felt you...
uncovered

...you left me,
unsound and frail...

I want a life with no regrets 
one shiny, bright, and new
bereft of stains and rips and tears
untarnished and unused.

No dents or dings, not slightly worn
refurbished just won't do
I want a life with no regrets
and I want it minus you....

Listen to poem:

Flaws and foibles, dents and blots, 
all viewed as quirky, cute and nice,  
are mere trifles, that makes us lovable.

How quickly the tide can change,
when sensibilities, foil those foibles
into scruples, qualms, faults and vice,
up-welling into wellsprings 
of misery and strife....

Yard sale treasure,
I am so sharp!
What a deal I made!
A clock for fifty cents!
On my wisdom and skills
I hope I do not too much harp,
Why this clock even had no dents!

How I made this deal,
Really more of a steal...
I will never understand...
Maybe cause it had,
Only the minute hand....

Those lingering stings grows depths and last.
They seep their way in - to the past
To claw out your inner soul -
Those hopes you have with dents and holes.

Note: This is an old poem I wrote when I realized
I couldn't forget the past and that it would always
be a part of me: lingering....

Is academic education for human welfare or to kill innocents?
Then why do we practice only to rape a poor for false prints?
We like to live a luxury life but never identify the living dents,
Trying to achieve without honesty and using shortcut hints,
You eat fresh then why is dirt growing in belly to seek mint....

The French simply call them: " Dents De Lion. "
They have tiny, fragile yellow rays,
and can be used in multiple ways;
my grandama tossed them in salads and more.

Mothers, do you want your gorgeous kids
to be healthy, happy and tall?
Then feed them these delicious, green herbs;
I am sure they'll eat them all....

The words came slashing  
Shortening the towering statue 
With blows after blows 
 visible dents were made
To these lifetime stones
Strengthened with sweat and stress
Now crumbling from the swirling saliva
Raging from each forming words
Words from decades past 
unsteadily revealing the weakened stones
embed within...

when system fails, injustice produced harassment and disappointments.
innocence cursed the cruelty and prayer to God for justice comments.
God hears and develops such nature to punish a guilty person,
God rewards a disease to deliver justice to remove unwanted dents.
Someone's suffering changes human mind and prayer for mercy in seconds....

Far from the warm holes
a mess of doors and
wings, wrecks of dents

and the broken lights of
lost souls,
the shitten hope

of a young man`s last skid
that led to flowers
cold on a country roadside

and the whisper
between the aluminium
begging till the battery leaks;

I did not want
To lose my body
But I was no good at life....

UNCLE BILL’S BIRTHDAY

It’s Uncle Bill’s birthday today
and we’ve hardly celebrated
his leather jacket
his teasing ways
seventy’s haircut and mustache
his deep green car
with crevices and dents
the way he looks at us
from an old photograph
sitting in his faraway car
working with my other grandma
at Scott’s
...she’s gone too
