Up, down, manji gamei 
Flack on shoulders, somersault 
Quadruple full flip...

A Queen Bee who thinks sex is funny
Enjoyed making love like a bunny
But after some flack
She's flat on her back
Yet welcomes all comers with, "Honey!"...

Sun's a mean blue
    two clouds turn black
  The wind blows sand
    the skies rain flack

  Early Spring, war-torn Ukraine
    reflects a nation's searing pain...

Jack is back, your face will crack,
This old guy just has the knack,
He'll split your sides,
Possibly your strides,
I think he'll be causing much flack.

authors note: strides are another name for trousers in Australia...

The flick-flack of the shredded Flag, the bugle marking time

The Soldier laid to rest, midst those that went before

The crosses like snow-white trees, stunted before their Prime

In order, line upon line, do we never learn from War?...

What is Canada To Me?
Silver Sun or Maple Leaf Tree?
Bugle boy with his bugle cracked?
Strong crowned men, or hear their legal flack?
Women whose poems we do read,
With the words of Old England, oh yes indeed?
What is Canada To Me?
Summer time fun, and a Maple Tree Leaf!...

Tis splendor in the grass these coming summer days
America’s youth can have their privileged adolescent ways
Swimming and playing or simply being laid back
They have little worries without any teacher’s flack
Enrich they youngish self before the inevitable groans of early Mondays...

Like a great parodied indolent 
Such illusions of meaningless digressions 
Compliant with a game of chance 
Purred for the sun to pass 
And built a twilight barricade 
Till hunger drew slack 
Then like a flack of mottled light 
Round beneath it 
Time in hours
It moved the world.....

 fond face facemask
facial flowers feathers food fingers

my brain fog from reading all those 38 poems
has cleared i can think again
fine free freedom fellas...

Tommy Turtle took a ride,
because the pond was deep and wide,
Buster Beaver offered his back,
to swim for free without any flack,
Tommy jumped on and grabbed for dear life,
this was his only chance to find a wife,
they crossed the pond to the other side,
where Tilly Turtle was waiting as a bride....

Behind twisted clouds, the sun shrunk,
the sky turned purple black
and my hometown morphed into junk,
as though shredded by flack.

Trees got torn from the ground
and you cannot rebound
when your home’s but a mound.

The dead sleep in shrouds,
behind twisted clouds.

All halls triped with noise...

two souls
jack white
wears white
shirt     tie
quite bright
cites writes 
loves snacks
light verse 
kind guy
won't curse
hurts worse 
wise   crack

black mac
takes no
flack flights 
in ring
pulls no
stings packs 
hack of 
whack in
his swing 
with no
back slack
his wack
watch back

It is with a tinge of disdain
And some humor in my left cheek 
That I pen my first English Quintain
Poetic advice is what I seek
Sir, could you please take a quick peek?

If I am on the make-sense track
I would appreciate knowing it
If it has fallen on its back 
Please let me know with clever wit
Issue me no flack or slack, you chit....

They’re in his car, he rubs her back
But Sue quickly gives him some flack
She says stop it Rex
You’ve no chance of sex
Because my V'gina’s too slack

It loosened when our babe arrives
I’ve tried pelvic floor exercise
Sue says don’t get stroppy
Cos you're loose and floppy
This happens to some older guys!

You are in the lights,
Parents in the stands.
Is this your night?
Well, that depends.
 
You are the star,
Everybody needs you.
You did your part,
But now you're black and blue.
 
It's not coming back,
You have to let it go.
You get so much flack
Because they just don't know.
 
You can't go on.
You feel so horrible.
It's hard to be done.
You were so hopeful.

Before a trip, of course you pack
And shop for needed things you lack;
Then just so there will be no flack,
You straighten up your home.

You give your plants an extra snack
And raise the windows just a crack;
Then leave a bag to hold the stack
Of papers while you roam.

Do all of this while keeping track
So you don’t have a stress attack
And maybe, if you have the knack,
Describe it in a poem....

Countless in colours, on display.
Grey matter turns, to white clay,
moulded by brow beaten pressure.
Being a faceless number in line
just to be seen, fleeting in stale time, promoting ones ego.
Wasting lifes days unexscapable
In media,s grasp, really we have to ask.
The Autumn leaves, rush towards us in their late Autumn flack.
The reat view mirror looms, impossible to go back. And the Only door is a Jar !...

You know you are going to get 
a fair bit of flack for that

So it obviously worked then and
touched a nerve

But aren't you supposed to be 
mr nice guy that folk walk all over
and take advantage of

Exactly i'm sick and tired of being
so called liked

If you can't beat them join them

Are they really my friends anyway

We'll see won't we time will tell

Was what i said a lie or merely
telling a few home truths...

You may be subject to attack
The USA won't have your back*
We'll sell you arms
And pretty charms
And cheer if you survive the flack 



*As the world's largest manufacturer
of arms and military equipment, the
USA is laughing all the way to the bank
as orders pour in from nations that now
realise our nuclear umbrella does not 
cover them, nor will the UN come to 
their assistance, so they must defend 
themselves!...

Enjoy your life for what it is-
the work, the beer and women.
Stay back from strife that makes you sad-
the law, the stressed and skrimmin.

And when you're sure your life is good-
the toast, the bait, the primmin.
Look back for all the chaste you've passed-
the waste, the flack and trimmin.

And when you're sure you've had enough
take back what you've put in.
Without the thought for helping out
the path the blessed were given....

The clean shirt and denim jeans
No more in-betweens, just me
No more hiding it inside
A rough ride, but I am free
Stepping out and coming out
Too long shouting in the dark
Today is it, can’t go back
Their flack belongs in the ark
Head high with pride, standing tall
It took my all to do this
The past is left far behind
It’s time to find what life is
No regrets, I’ve done all I can
And now it’s time to be a man

Pull me down
Pull me up
I will never be your doggy pup
If you should ever bare your teeth
Expose what’s really underneath
Then you will hear the dullen sound
Of the man you kicked, when he was down
Stamp on my head, stamp on my heart
Destiny say’s that we must part
You pushed me here and pushed me back
I stood absorbing, all your flack
The time has come to end it all
I will not be your rubber ball
Pull me up
Pull me down
Goodbye, god bless, see you around...

Someday, someday
This someday is too far
It is reluctant to open its eye
Like snow falling each flack on top of each other
Burying the weeds and flowers refuse to rise above the blanket
My someday will come I know for sure
Someday the darkness will come to an end
Through and through past the dark
Then I will rise up from the sleep
Seeking the sweet salt of air in my lungs
The pouring of rain on my back
Someday the light will shine in me
Bathe me in its endless glow....
