Short Dispatched Poems

Aging leaf, detached 
spiraling downward, dispatched
withering, no more...

heaven's ancient lamps
dispatched billions of years past
glisten in your eyes...

Dispatched by pressed time
The heart easily injured
You guard death and dime....

LOVE ...

Is a many-chambered prison
That we go to willingly ...

And our sentences are dispatched
By those we trust ...

With the keys....

Read More

In the beginning we are hatched
Then we're crumpled, somehow patched
Thus crippled, to the world dispatched
To live and die a life mismatched....

Don't be dispatched
Stand strong
Don't be disengaged 
Stand long
Stand strong
Hold your head up 
Stand not afraid-
 you are loved by I and Jesus...

On Feathered Wings

dispatched to heaven 
on feathered wings of angels…
a child’s fervent prayers
 




Inspired by SKAT A’s contest....

heaven's ancient lights
dispatched billions of years past
glisten in your eyes

*Light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per second
When we look up to the stars, we view light sent eons ago...

RIP Jim Baker

Here lies, old Jim Baker.
Drank like a fish, this dude was no Quaker.
Lighting a gas oven with no pilot light?
Jim was dispatched to heaven in a blazing,fiery flight!

Shattered glass, piercing heart.
The unborn clock advances to despair.
A hundred shards cast Romeo into view. 
Disgusted and dispatched for heavy hearts encounter. 
Her forsaken sentiments forever Present....

Guard Your Tongue
Miracle Man
11/23/2018

A fiery tongue delivers
Both sugared and toxic words,
And just like the 
“Big Brown Truck”

It leaves the fulfillment center
With only what the heart has dispatched;
It leaves no return slip,
And S&H is usually remorse.

Porgie George, Little Jack Horner
Kissed a girl off in a corner
They were all thumbs and made her cry
Offed in prison, absent mourners.

Peter Piper, Peter Peter
Killed a girl and tried to eat her.
The cops dispatched each with a shell;
They help Charon, Limbo’s greeters.

that call, a face
    porcelain 
pressed against glass
and dead eyes wrought
from an attic room
    watching us

her name badge was
irrelevant
  “No, those top rooms
  are not used, full
  of junk and all locked up”
yet the face watched us
leave; into 
  the further ghosts
    of night

A
New duckling
One day hatched
Abruptly cracked, newly detached
To the lake-edge dispatched 

To 
Mother’s feather
There, all together
Enjoy spring’s mild weather
Searching bugs in the heather

When
Brothers, sisters
Come chasing misters
Plus cats with whiskers
Make us scatter like twisters...

sexy couple shooting pool
what was that covetousness rule?
when am i going to get over this?
in the back of my mind, memories of bliss
keep me looking, well attached
until this longing body is dispatched
to the dustheap, while this mind
propelled into bardo, still looking behind
at all the ties that bind......

Perseverance, ingenuity: hallmarks of great mind...
Examples which we Earthlings are expecting more to find.
As NASA's news now streams from Mars, where there is little air
And yet they're setting up the helicopter dispatched there.
With AIR as so essential for the flight of an AIRcraft
We'll see if JPL designers are clever - or just daft!...

In other years, my plans today
Would’ve been postponed or scratched,
The snowstorm making travel tough,
The cancel texts dispatched.

But since we’re in pandemic mode,
No disappointments loom
For meetings had been scheduled
To happen via Zoom.

So we can meet, ensconced within
The safety and, no doubt,
The comfort of our dwellings
With no need to venture out....

Some words are conveyed
With the sweetness of honey
Fresh from the comb;

But on occasion,
That same vessel launches dialog
Toting the sting of African Bees,
At swarm time;

These unconstrained words
Are dispatched to slay,
Or bruise the spirit of another;

For what man's heart conjures up,
His tongue, seizing the instant,
Will usually deliver;

I am the soul creature
Summoned from everlasting sense
And astonishment that evolves whenever the Stargazer kisses a day
A child yearns for a God breast
also, these hands dip its prophecy into an embryo 
Whenever the gusher creates a river from the earth
So dispatched the life in our souls
And inspired us how to practice hunting the devils
taking our demise with him.

Did you see the Mexican wave,
At the game of nil inspire.
One chance, one brilliant save,
Nothing setting this match on fire.

A rush of blood, a red card
The star dispatched from pitch.
Petulance and my day is marred,
Irritation has become a hitch.

Promises have all come to nought,
Dull action, with nothing to rave.
Head down, feeling fraught,
Did you see the Mexican wave?...

His dragon at his feet
His staff topped
With magic stone
He is the last of
The sorcerors
His power is unmatched
And every one of his enemies
Is soon enough dispatched

His thoughts become reality
If he should wish it so
He rules in total silence
For everyone does know

He is the all-powerful Sorceror
The last of his kind,
His realm of  mystic powers
Visible even to the totally blind...

Always In our thoughts and daily prayer;

Years have us close as sisters and brothers.

We treasure together clock that we spend,
God dispatched you as our forever friend.

Listen to poem:

ebony and ivory
keys to my heart
sounds engineered

measured dynamics
undulating vibrations 
infiltrating my soul

piano notes
dispatched through
midnight air

a nostalgic journey
longing
for passion

The depraved man has been dispatched
But he leaves behind his spawn
And some of the dreadful plans he hatched.
The evil still lives on.
Our heros stand tall night and day
In protection of the The USA.

For Constance LaFrance contest  "Six Lines of Poetry, Please"


Constance did not think it worth even an hm.

Of course this was right after he had been killed.  Maybe the impact not so strong now....

It's happening
all over again
It's overcoming me,
starting to once more settle in
Foolishly thought
I had become immune
The little time I bought
got burst like a balloon
It's happening
all over again
Frozen TV dinner days
are now at an end
Carelessly felt
I had dispatched that desire
Ladder 451
didn't quite put out the fire
It's happening
all over again
I'm falling in love ...
Don't try to pull me out,
now that I've fallen in...
