Short Gelatin Poems

Tension without hope
Oatmeal and gelatin soap
In bubbles elope

In his closet Mort had a skeleton
  Draped o'er an undelivered Peleton
    A bag of bones himself
    Mort was a Christmas elf
  Dined on doughnut holes atop gelatin...

Happy birthday, dear Genalyn, 
The jam is safe and suitable; 
A jelly made with gelatin 
Is delicious and edible.

day and night it haunts me so,
yesterday you were bovine,
swine,
or rodent,
now gelatin surrounds you,
confined in tin,
fresh by chemical and sodium,
now resting in the cabinet,
until I peel you open today,
or in two years?
no matter the day,
you are just as beautiful
as the day I bought you,
and the one next to you without cost...

good-looking gorgeous gregarious godmother of mine 
guards graceful gracious grateful great-grandma so fine 
giddy girls giving genuine gumdrops, guiding GIs to Guinea,
Generating ghastly ghostly gibberish unheard by many, 
Gently germinating geometric gelatin a plenty.
Golden goggles glowing good-naturedly
I like these giddy girls who giggle wholesomely....

Alligators bleed a passing style.
Shot birds freeze in a look of disbelief.
Leopards fall in wraps and cooling guts.
Snap and clack of traps grind mental teeth
In living bone. Flash and zing of wire
Scald ruts in moving flesh.
Whoosh of nets and sudden crack of guns
Hold down the gelatin that was an eye--
And heaps of trinket feathers and trunkless hides
Are lain on altars for a current god....

grabbed by your firm hands
then felt your soft hair
and briefly, the windowsill
and going down, down

into a dark grotto
badlands of memories
so much rainfall
without even a sky

I pushed up the steel cover
to take deep breaths
return to submerged
a toothpick embedded
in purple gelatin

love stained the floor of my life
it was spreading outward
take a sponge
make love a perfect trapezoid...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Can you feel the adrenaline,
This big regiment of my medicine
Got my skeleton jigglin like gelatin
Fiddlin with this riddlin, this wigglin
Its crippilin, when i begin quibblin,
Over scribblin, this high is dwidlin
Do you remember when
I would rip off heads of Polly pockets
Stick a knife in the faulty wall socket
And be hiding in my sister's closet
for six hours to her scream, "Michael Stop It!"...

volcano

Huge explosives of nascent hydrogen
twelve hundred square feet explosive house
in companionship of a gentle woman loaded with gelatin
in liquid nitroglycerin's  warm touch
sweet mouth of potassium cyanide.

A lively life; Chloroform
covered fragrant heart door.
In the sea of happiness, in the stream of dark red blood
crowded with carbon monoxide and arsenic
Life is such a horrible beautiful volcano....

BrontoPDsaurus    (LIMERICK)

Life-size dinosaur skeleton
No luck in collecting my specimen
I took one long pound,
Next I'm on the ground
Lucky T-Rex, ate meat of gelatin.

always knew  you could
be a bright person while good
which you always should

will watch the melting
be skinny like skeleton
dried up gelatin

God is omniscient
as well as omnipotent
also efficient

we started to grope
remember bacteria hope
with a downward slope

we would have great health
when supported by much wealth
flying in a stealth

while loading cattle
there had been a big battle

Your racing bike is broken with a bad derailleur.
   I look back at my life and admit it’s a failure.
   If a daft old hen laying scrambled eggs, so sad, can, 
   Then I will concede that I’m an addle-brained madman. 
Like a leafless tree holding a kite frame skeleton, 
Your arms and my legs are no stronger than gelatin. 
   As an eagle whose threadbare wings will no longer fly, 
   It’s time now for me to find a quiet place to die....
