Enamored and Hammered

Once was enamored
Now his head should have hammered;
Beat sense into it.

All the music done by ear
Hammered out by courier
Lyric carried all the cheer
While record shows the blow and beer.

One final ‘going, going gone!’
His gavel's laid at rest as well
We bid him now a fond farewell.

for fleeing the inner city mayhem
she blamed it on racial malice
from her oceanside palace
a few hundred miles from gangland...

A spot of fresh blue water
Flows off rocks backs jewel covers
Dunged up hammered measures
Crystal blue waters pressures

tried to pick up a lesbian.
This sort of thing happens to me very often.
I am always amazed to learn how many women are lesbians,
whenever I get hammered and start hitting on women."...

The masterpiece of human ingenuity forever rolls.

A hood on Mount Hood
wearing a hood hammered the
hood of a Honda.

A cop from Kansas
climbing in the Cascades caught
the recalcitrant.

The cop received a 
commendation, and the hood
a long vacation....

 hoping everyone would see
how brave and courageously he saved the day
 but in his lack of guilt
it was he, who hammered the spike
 that would break the dam and make the waves....

bare,

forced,
gorged.

spherical,
formatted,

delivered,
couriered,
in cell,

Hephaestus

Hephaestus, god of fire,
had legendary skills.
Handicapped, and yet still
hailed as a smithing god,
his metalworking skills
helped him fashion weapons
hammered out for the gods.

The pinnacle source
We strain to unfurl
The mind pulls apart

Seams of iron stand
Accrued throats of steel
Hammered against raw will

As moods uncovered what went
Secretly finite, scrawling new terms...

Hug drug, hug tight
Zounds surrounded the societies 
Stream stringer the blood blew
By the bombastic center watts
Humbled earth is entitled by the entered en clair
Hug drug, hug tight for tomorrow's hammered today's
Hunt hen Hawk....

Irish Poet by choice,
  the teachers did fail

Because of my voice,
  not to their unavail

The structures they hammered,
  the forms they imposed

  the teachers did fail

Attacking my voice,
  as a group to assail

The structures they hammered,
  the forms they imposed

All lost to my whimsy
  —whose words I then chose

PICTURE OF A TREE MAKES THEE---

Placed wood hammered together nail and board a structure

As a picture surrounded by a frame like articles from a tree—just like a house all surrounds me as a painted picture

Cried bitterly 
Sweat profusely 
Cooked annoyingly 
Ate sorrowfully 
Wished I had died honorably 
Not because I lost anyone to the boring company of death
But because I found my heart untimely hammered 
By the Carpenter I most trusted.

That reigning monarch's hammered earth
decided from my time of birth
God's choosing relevant to girth

This somber will of God o'er man
encompasses the tiniest strand
as His, my aptitude stays grand
though Soul's alliance ~ trail command!...

ignorance dims man's light
darkens traces of hopes
pathways to brotherhood

with forced hammered bigotry 
foolishness is wrongly forged
cynicism ignites a dour blaze

wheels of wrongness steady turn
prompted by ego's and greed's
need to root in deceit
