Dingy stockings hung with care

High up in the air
Row life’s dingy to heavens shore
From way down below

The man went out on a limb
To hire his best friend Kim
Who was dingy as hell
He couldn’t even spell
Put his signature name as Jim...

I am unlovable

If we are the sum of all our parts
I am unlovable
My parts are broken
Dark and dingy and twisty
The sum of my parts are jagged
And I am unlovable...

The dingy grey city dove
Poops on us from high above
We’d like to give'm a quick shove
Smack'm with an old golf club
Bury'm beneath a shrub

On a hill top, lived a man so stingy
Though wealthy, his house was very dingy
When his wife asked for money
He would chortle- 'No Honey'
Tired, fled with her lover on a pony...

An ignorant duck breeder with a moat
Put off repairing his dingy to float
And he doesn’t yet know
Getting his ducks in a row
Means more than getting his ducks in a row-boat

A fat flouncy funky flunky house sparrow bobs and bows his way tacking like a clinker built  

dingy sailing across our sea of grass catching worms fattened by May's sun and showers ....

what, I wonder, did you unlock
winter songs of summer birds
in a dingy cell with clawed-at walls
in drawing rooms where princes died
and all the soldiers marching by
trembling in rooms...

Only Weirdos and Odd Balls

Wirdos and odd balls Trump represent;
Those in jail for time short or long stint;
Have hair stringy,
Or totally dingy
Only ones who he could obtain consent.

Virulent and Vascilating Vibe

From somewhere in sky  dropped a scribe,
Who had been with virulent, vacillating vibe;
Green beans  stringy,
And somewhat dingy;
As to what he said and will always ascribe.

Light/Dark

Light
bright, luminous
blinding, brilliants, radiances
appearing, gleaming, glaring, glowing 
unlit, unlighted, calamitous
ill-lit, dingy
Dark

The fog can be a lonely place
When you’re a dingy out at sea
With only the sounds to guide you
No lights, no landmarks, no breeze.

Separated from  land and shore, 
When you’re a dingy out at sea
You are a vessel without a mooring,
A daunting thing to be...

Each night a challenge:
suffocative restlessness
sleepless spirits’ noise
sexual starvation
anal menstruation
dingy subconscious
 
conspire behind closed eyes
absent healing and
wishful miracles
 
a clueless sun rises
bugging time and life

to time the rhyme or range of orange
when to smile and when to cringe
nothing fits but on the fringe
yet I find red yellow wonder
defining moments to unhinge
My orange dingy dinghey
the cold sea it's under
icily swelling nicely
A weighted wait
To float a boat...

Ever wonder what
Is inside the dingy head
Of a skeleton
Is there a cold mushy brain
Maybe it’s just candy corn

Could be eroded
From the long days under ground
A dissolving state
He’s a spoiled creature living
With a small decaying brain

Her nephew  on the farm Punky Spuky tried to milk a donkey

Other cousin Cindy Dingy loved chocolate Twinkies™
While at the zoo spunky, sticky, stinky monkey gives whiskey to the donkey

~Stingy, Stingy~


There once was a poet named
Stingy,
Who loved only himself, what a 
pathetic, lost dingy!
One day, poor, lost soul, fell on his
self-centered duff.
Furious that 34 comments were
simply, not enough!

Sam.
smoky dingy café,
workmen shout and curse.
She floats among the tables
tending like a nurse, pauses 
when she sees me, breaks
into a smile then skips behind 
the counter, lingers for a while.
Keeps chatting while she's 
serving, shedding all her 
pain… then, when
I am leaving,
she becomes
 a nurse again...

strong green leaf on  tree
 all the time breeze dingy seeps
the green cooling wind 
~
brightness sun taking
 away the greenery from 
green to brown orange  red
~
 the fluorescent green
evergreen spring summer green
 leafs is dying dead

Art of Ivan Albright
I hear a death rattle
feel gloom 
despise grayscale-ness

flat black paint kind of background
lecherous guy
creepy skeletal hands
craggy face

shirt looks dingy, dirty, smudged
tablecloth is dank, dour, dusty,
grays and blacks, morose, macabre
I run from his art, screaming pink and orange....

Lost and Found

Find me in the shadow of life’s archway
waiting…’neath the grey of dingy art work
pressed into the dark of passing's moment,
wilted roses held limply in old hands
clinging to the sounds of lovers voices
whispering to the darkness – “Please….find me.”.

The dismal quarter of the
city in a nightmare.

A certain sinister cube of
a building, 
a dingy windowless structure 

but with some marks on each
side, 
numbered one to nine.

Some people with no face
trapped inside, 
experience every night the mournful
invasion of moving darkness

when the dice is flipped on
the playing board....
