Anatomy of Goats

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

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

Golf's Global Reach

  
  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

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

Ruby's Walk

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. 2/25/2021

Warmin' Up

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

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.

When Am I

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

Making History

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

The Bearer Party

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 Pleasures

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 June 4, 2019 5:30am PST

Flock of Birds Paint the Sky Beautiful

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

Delicate Strands of Sound

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

Olfaction

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.

Scarecrow Joe

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

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.

In Your Mind

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
