There was a man from Gloat
He snuck behind a goat
He had a bit of pot
Flanked the animals blind spot
Roger rammed it up to it’s throat

lounging outside
the nightbeams reflect
pictures of us---
about remembered dreams
flanked between warmth and pain

Pristine, precisely clipped greens
Rolling fairways flanked by majestic trees
Water hazards imperil a golfer’s well-being
~ While in Saudi, sand traps greet the King

Hitler
Swollen with evil pride
As he stood in front
Of the Eiffel Tower,
Flanked by his nazi minions.

Flanked by four marshals, Ruby walked to school.
She was called names
yet she walked
and walked
tall
for
many
black children
who have a dream
to walk wherever, without four marshals.

Swingin' it in sunshine almost
barefoot skippin' o'er the
grassy courtyard breathin'
freedom.
Smiles you flash
eventually catch
attention to unmentionables.
Air quivers
skin slithers through
broad shoulders dark
flanked supremely.
Wave and wave back.

Forrest of faces
Flanked by rainment fine,
Appear in many places
Up and down the line.
Stories beyond the scope are told,
Music from mindfull deeps,
Emotons handed down form "old"
Coming forth in leaps.
Energy from the ladies and sirs
Merge with flawless ease,
I feel the touch of many hers,
And I'm in love with these.

Rhyme
when am I in a raging sea
when am I in a towerless keep
you see the armies flanked around him
labelled with exactness
when am I on a mountain ledge
when am I on a broadsheet
a dozen more of liberty
a number for the free
when am I by solitude
when am I by genocide
walking through my lonely streets
I ask
when am I by me

Dramatic Monologue
Sweet, beautiful, innocent girl wearing
new white sneakers
strides proudly
into
school,
Flanked
by guards
with weapons
for protection,
ignoring sick slur scribbled on the brick.

Sushumna luminous central funnel ~
Receives God’s blessings through the fontanel

We held a lady in our arms
She was the highest in the land
We felt her cloth against our cheek
Her closeness in our hand.
We held that lady in our arms
She was the silent of us all
We took her down the longest walk
Flanked by soldiers tall.
If we live to oldest years
And on, until our death
Never will we forget
We held our Queen, Elizabeth.

The Simplest of Pleasure
The glorious big television
The cable box, dustless as can be be
Flanked by two flamess candles
Dancing ever so cheerfully
The mahogany table on which it sits
The flickering flamelike heater, right beneath it.
A cup of fresh coffee with a dollop of cream.
Making the experience heavenly

List
under the blue sky
over the earth's pie
one thru ten they fly
fifty five birds spry
followers not shy
a triangles ply
on point, flanked they vie
I can hear their cry
I can see their tri
wings on wings they lie
as all birds comply
and my joys sky high
yet I blink my eye
and swish they've gone by

Flanked by violets and similes
in a drafty den she pens
away fleet hours, pensive, concocting
exotic brews of rarest essence
and scents, honey-tipped phrases
in secret rhythmical chants
known only to denizens of her
innermost sanctum, where she,
perches, chin in hand, arranging
delicate strands of sound, eliciting
murmurs from those gathered, who lionize her
though she remains as the dust underfoot

Flanked by Dame’s rockets and Yarrow
familiar flowers that greet me
every spring with their breezy nods.
Their irresistible, subtle
scents never cease to captivate
my olfactory perception.
I swoon amidst their fragrant breaths
and for one imaginative
moment become their distant kin
with an alien hue and scent
commingling with them nonetheless
until their odoriferous
scents again sober my senses
leaving a feeling of gladness.

Verse
The "speech" should have been on Halloween.
His props were a garish blood red backdrop.
Flanked by two concrete stiff marines.
This scarecrow of a president (who bellows about unity).
Just threatened to unleash F17'S on half the US citizens.
Because they don't think like him.
Will he even remember what he said?
His brain is about the size of a pumpkin seed.
For making terroristic threats against the U.S citizens...
he should be impeached-

Communal Holiday.
The holiday home for children
was near a cold lake
flanked by two black mountains
We children swam there
every morning at seven
before the sun warmed the lake.
Breakfast at eight, mainly oatmeal porridge
and stale bread.
Boot camp for children.
Three weeks of this then we were let loose
to roam a town of summer dust
and trees in the park we could climb up
to get away from adults
who had forgotten their own childhood.

Bio
He told me " the pain is all in your mind"
So I hit him in the head and said "it's in yours now too"
Deep breaths and bitten lips
as I try to walk away
one more pill to dull the pain
how long can suffering stay
opiate receptors relaxed
there's a soothing in the air
calm has flanked hostility
and lies within the fear
barren paths of crisis crossed
where love has up and gone
filing out in feeble steps
no one's won or lost
