a ghastly pandemonium,
Prithee, kindly stop....

'Ris that venom slicks her tongue
Gnashing grin gnaw heaven's grip
Slam damn me with dirges sung...

Judge Brett Kavanaugh has no fears
Of FBI back-tracking years
On every attack
His friends have his back
Since Brett wore his Mickey Mouse ears!...

vermin gnaw the heart away.
but they're never really sated
they bore deep into the brain
until all hope crumbles way...

Oktoberfest means barrels of beer
So the Kavanaughs came for some here
The girls waited in line
Underneath that big sign,
"Liquor up front, Poker in the rear"...

earthworms dwell 'neath the surface
and reek of dank soil

A man name Sherry who was so funny
Dressed up like erratic sexy bunny
Attention He did draw
For all the rabbits gnaw
In its ears and offered him some money

Donald Trump was out on a date
When he coughed and sneezed out his plate
His date had quick wits
And smiled, "Hey!  It fits!
Y'all gnaw thas jes godda be fate!" ...

I gnaw a little bit, 
but I gnaw lot.
I am a heavy application. 
I was flushed with emotion 
to flow to flow back 
through the heart every day, 
spam also gnaw a little....

I thought I saw a thaw
Turns out it was naught
This cold can start to gnaw
More than it really ought

The road, with danger fraught
Ice had us in its maw
And travelers got caught
Horrendous pile-ups saw...

Desperation
Crawled across my skin
Gouging out new scars
With it's claws of regret
And leaving fresh gaping wounds
Where the sharp teeth of despair
Sought to gnaw their way down 
Into the very marrow of my bones...

Hobby horse watched as Peter touched the train with awe.
Teddy bear was watching snowman, glad he was not about to thaw.
Puppy put his head down to think about a lovely winter gnaw.
Amid Christmas tree, drums, and seesaw....

L-ong arm of the law
A-ims to implement justice; 
N-ew dawn of twenty-third September
E-nforces the righteousness.
L-ord God Almighty above
Y-earns not man to fret or gnaw; 
N-either will He proscribe the long arm of the law....

Listen to poem:

I took a bite, I bit with all my might.
But I knew I had bitten off, a bit more 
than I could gnaw, more than I could just ignore.
With gob stuffed stupid in gluttonous binge, 
I suddenly knew, I was in over my head.
Something had to give....

H unger grips my small - empty gut,
O pen to tiny - little - nut.
L ittle or not - I want my fill,    
L ong or short - just make it real.
O pting cooked - will take it raw,
W anting to stop this nagging gnaw.

"I want my mom back!" She screamed.

It tore my heart out, gnawed on it, tauntingly.

Began to tear it apart at the seams.

Stitch by Stitch.

But I felt my heart burst within,

it's chewing gnaw, when I heard the lie,

"I'll stop drinking, you win."...

Midnight
Bat flight

Crows caw
Ghouls gnaw

Mists swirl
Leaves whirl

Wolves howl
Cats yowl

Ghost moans
Chilled bones 

Dark halls
Skin crawls

Foul breath
Taste death

Fright, fear
They're here!

This morning, I experienced some good luck.
I bought a Chihuahua for one hundred bucks.
My new dog is brown and his name is Red.
He will be my dog for many years ahead.
Like other dogs, he probably loves to gnaw on bones.
Red makes the third Chihuahua dog that I own....

I float
dance along
the ocean floor
 
I glide
move along
my aquatic hell
 
I gasp
float along
as I try to inhale
 
My lungs fill
I struggle
I flail 
 
The light dims
I sink down
deeper
 
Into the cold
unforgiving
 
grave
of
the
sea
 
Into the deep
where little fishies
will gnaw and nibble 
at me...

Penelope has the look of haughty
I doubt she could ever be naughty
She has a trained rat
That once ate a cat
Truly I am just being snotty

Penelope has ways that are distinct
Her wordage is curt and succinct
Her rat will gnaw your face
A simple disgrace
Neither thinks their feces doth stink...

Many brazen men have 
failed to win her sanctity;
shouting foolish taunts
to vex The Fays of Chastity.

How eager they are 
to gnash and gnaw
the bones of 
The Strange-Very Strange,

and how willing they are to wager 
away precious wit and whim
to win a prophetic poet bride 
for the musing of Taliesin.

The Jay and Me

Music to my ears,
Tears composed of salt water
Flow to the ocean.

A grey jay blends in
Wings of life singing praises,
The cedar its home.

I thank the framer;
Guilt doesn’t gnaw my conscience
Others chop down trees.

I fear death today
Earth circles the light of life,
Sans the jay and me....

About Picture of a Tree's Bare Branches

Are several things I never saw:
Missing both paw and a claw;
Bright meadow,
With no shadow;
And on wood not trying to gnaw.

Antlers would extend up in the air;
Two eyes appeared that did stare;
He did plead;
My mouth feed;
Had been no leaves and trunk bare.

With a smile
that stabs at your heart
this elegant starling
floats on the breeze,
flitting here and there
warming the souls
of those
   that she graces
with her presence.

Watching her 
chew on her lip
pulls at my soul
to know
    what's on her mind,
but I'll sit back
   and enjoy
        this angelic sight
while I gnaw on my pen....
