Short Goggle Poems

DEBACLE
I am digging out of my debacle
Do you still look for the ancient bottle
I am offering you my best goggle
Let's overcome all of the greatest obstacle

There is a saying:
Every doughnut has its day.
Every baby gets its way.
Every month is somehow May.
Every swing is met with a sway.
Okay, okay, okay...

We get it.
Reset it.

As if there wasn't enough grandeur already.
Here we are smearing 
The grime from our goggle lenses.
Take the goggles off.
Jump the fences....

when students ask about metaphors
and similes 
i love it
but please stop identifying juxtaposition 
i hand them a 
dictionary
look it up yourself pal
i never had a classical education
and can't pronounce Persephone 
and don't 
believe anybody can
so just avoid that bit of the curriculum 
avoid the greeks
give me the graphic novels unit or give me death
metaphors be with you...

When I goggle at the screen
Of wild black yonder,
O Stars! I feel a blazing avidity 
In my vital limbs

Elan eyes of the angels,
Invested in with thousand finesses,
Show your cloudless sparkle to
the ignorant world

The magnetic star adjacent the Moon
to guide the sailor way out,
My heart responds to
thy flickering with life,
You ignites my bituminous soul,
With an immortal spark...

My brother reprobator and oedipus.
Nimble selictor, nisus impersonale muss.
Improvidence, goggle eyed or irrational,
Instigate inane dowdy, kinsfolk isolate fuss.
Paramour or inamorato objurgate carlish,
Impune contrivance, obfuscate gobble tush.
A partner inauspicious or inartificial indigent,
Not same as before lumber or lurcher hiss.
Irremissible offence fidget formidable lead,
My parents exaggerate emotions I ever miss....

Words will never convey my thoughts
What I so want to say to her
It often leaves me overwrought
My mind becomes a hopeless blur.
Her comely grace and pleasing eyes
Her sweet amicability
Leaves me goggle-eyed and tongue-tied
when I look upon her beauty.
At home I think up words to say
Articulating syllables
Spoken in a well mannered way
But deem them unacceptable.
The hardest thing for me to do
Is utter three words, “I love you.”...
