Short Drills Poems

You not dance
The look in your eyes drills into
The steel cages...

Super hard alloy
With such a high melting point.
Tungsten carbide drills!...

beware atomic attack!
1950s civil defense
duck and cover drills
Bert the turtle 
showed us the way

flash of light - duck and cover!...

Adios dear dentist with shots, x-rays and drills
Adieu root canals, crowns, and skyrocketing bills
With just gums underneath
I'm outliving my teeth
G'day dear hot oatmeal, ciao vitamin pills

Ever had an MRI on your brain... YIKES!!!
Like excruciating pneumatic drills driving in spikes
Left bits of my brain
On the pillow, WHAT PAIN!
Even with ear plugs, a sadistic torture unlike...

Spicies in ocean  buried in tard
Air high in alergens never concern

 Failure to recover  shy in voice
 incentives  paid  in  tax
 Penalty trivial  seams 

One wish stop off shore drills
Need rules  to save spices...

Doctor mind your skills,

your operation kills,

pains in me flows,

like blood in veins.


I came here for healings,

but it went wrong with your palms,

I feels like my skin will bursts,

and my inside go for blood drills....

Drills in the mind thoughts
From dawn until falling dusk
Hoovering like ghosts
Dissolved with the light of true
Recovering sanity

school tornado drills are the same as they ever were
we line them up in hallways and have them put their heads down
like beetles, like spiders, like shy mice, like embarrassed snakes
it seems weird, but it is exactly like it was sixty years ago...

Limerick : Once Monsters from fearful Mother-Villes

Once Monsters from fearful Mother-Villes
Forgive the lapsus, I meant : Moths-Drills
Not that They ate but flies
But also butter flies
Though lately added French fries with frills.

Spread sweet sour
Haste heaps hours


Deep dream dear
Niche nice near


Frame full fuzz
Bear bright buzz


Surreal state
Form fits fate


Glimpse gain grand
Boom big brand


Daze drills dance
Choice charms chance

THE  FOREST  OVERCOMES  WINTER



Wuthering,  gale held aloft by the thick forest. 
Woodpecker  drills his acorns deep into the trunk. 
Willingly,  dog noses into each trunk coming home.
Welcome,  the thick smell of pine cones.
Warm,  the snow blanket in our deep woods home.

from the time you wake
he gnaws at you
about anything and everything
his voice drills into you like nails
every day the same record plays
always the same voice
telling you how you hate him
telling you how the house is a mess
the kids won't listen
same argument every day
until you start to believe 
that you're the one who's wrong...

jet plane 
drills past
rambling sound

enjoying vegetation
I am tempted to jet nowhere
dog at my feet agrees
we are content

a lazy day
the only other sound is
a window air conditioner

helps my husband 
keep the house 
perpetually on freeze

why do you think 
the dog and I are
out on the porch?

We are trying to warm up....

Craft cheer
Dream dear


Gift grand
Fond friend 


Sound sleep
Drills deep


Free fall
Charm calls


See space
Glimpse grace


Taste time
Ripe rhymes


Feel face
Rich race


Word well
Time tells


Prize proof
Touch truth


Meet mood
Grand good


Fine fill
Sit still

Why be afraid?
Is dread not dead?
Or fear of dread
Much more afraid?


A heavy feel
Obstructs plain will
For nothing heals
As tension drills.


No wonder then
This empty span
Of knowing when
You know you can!


Dread can drop dead
For those afraid
As fear drops dead
In pulse afraid.

Dust drips dread
Rowdy raid


Blood blots bed
Ready red


Feel fear frame
Nasty name


Mist moves mime
Crafty chimes


Daze drills deep
Spilling sleep


Face fear fool
Devious drool


Craze clouds craft
Dying draft


Bluff bears blind 
Mushy mind


Pick proof please
Lavish lease

Deep dream drills dance
Choice crafts clear chance


Some seek sure shores
Meek mind moves more


Brisk bright blooms boast
Truth thrills trite toast


Time thrills true thought
Proof primes proud plot


Wise ways work well
See sound sight sell


Love leaps loud lines
Mind makes moans mine

Now the mid-winter grind
Is on me, New York
Drills through my nerves,
As I walk
The chewed up streets.

At forty-five what next
At every corner,
I meet my father,
My age, still alive.

Father, forgive me
My injuries,
As I forgive
Those I
Have injured!

You never climbed
Mount Zion, yet left
Dinosaur
Death-steps on the crust,
Where I must walk....

We were in at the kill
When he took ill
We gave him every pill
But his body grew cold and still

Caught in a strange chill 
We put death through the mill
But in vain were all our grills
And all our prayer drills

Gone with all his learning and skills
Leaving behind no Will but only frills
With lots of unpaid bills
Death considers not our earthly thrills...

After a face – off
you toss the coin
resenting the liquid fame.

Frame extracts the price
of picture.
Compassion for the artist was missing.

I suffer in mid moon
between darkness and light
clarity of rags was improving.

Homage is now going to hurt
after the fall of ego, in
ending of alchemy.

In spite or sorrow
a face drills holes
in my wheels.

The seagull cries 
pleading the right of birds
An Aladdin's  
jibe to overcome plight
Rugged flights to fill your soul
The Madman's voice
and his lack of choice
drills the silence
His fingers stiff with sentences
hollow words I don't understand
The Winter chaff casts a slipping land
The Lantern on the hill anoints lionesses
Commuting to overcome the earth...

As she felt the thrills,
Fanned out big nostrils,
Triumphant shout shrill...

No chef her son drills
But now meat he grills,
Fulfilled mum's song shrill!

Now,Daughter weaves frills
And as she does trills!

Son, Men took for dumb;
When he was born,numb;
Daughter worse than crumb
With the clumsiest thumb...

Rose shall climb a hill
To pay God's Praise Bill!...
