Short Epithets Poems

OH - nonny, NO - nonny
Nicholas Goalsworthy
Promised again to
Renounce alcohol.
Characteristically
Incomprehensible,
Muttering epithets,
Cursing the wall....

As the tides roll in off the sea
Erased are the days memories
In sand many poems were written
Epithets sketched in bare feet-
Reading the unwritten-
Under the shade of fading willow tree...

pillow
      words
       and
epithets,
legends
       plays
surround
    the saints
    of
      poetry:
long songs,
      little
           songs,
collected
in verbal
    simplicity..
..and
     exclamation...

Listen to poem:

Gardens of Regrets 
David J Walker

Here is how we thrive on grief
Grown in gardens of regrets
just beyond a pale belief 
Preserving how one forgets 
Rehearsing erstwhile
tactile threats 

Here is how we thrive on life
And laugh at epithets in rune 
And dance a thunderstorms delight 
A summers night enbibed in June 
Perceiving fractal
 		Cursive cume...

If I spit at you
  Wouldn't you smile at me

If I swung a bat at you
  Wouldn't you give me a big hug

If I trashed your store
  Wouldn't you want to hire me

If I hurled epithets at you
  Wouldn't you vote for me

If my folks and I'd been doing this for 65 years
  Wouldn't you want to live next door to me

Huh?  You say you wouldn't?
  WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, MAN?...

I am slimy scum
I'm a rotten bum
I rule America
Sucking on my thumb.

I am rather dumb
I make people numb
I'll turn America
Into endless slum. 

If I'm feeling glum
Unhappy I become
I praise the Ku Klux Klan
Then I get giddy some.

Beat my kettledrum
Rat-a-tat-tum-tum
Shriek racist epithets
Ad-infitum.

My ultimatum
Needs uranium
Blowing up the world and grin
Ain't it worrisome. I win!...
