Short Holed Poems

bushes berry filled
mouth stuffed, sated, stone stands up
black bear! I’m holed, freed...

Listen to poem:

It's rusty, old, holed.
Trustingly, it dug many 
holes in my past,
to bury reminiscent reminders....

Mix black lentil batter 
Must add salt and spices
Make holed rings, put in oil
Meduvadas frizzle
Mouthwatering, fluffy
Melts in mouth, soft, crispy
My most favorite snack

keep your eye on the prize
tangible dreams
not the pot-holed road
once paved with hope
the dust now settled
on past fantasy
perspective sought
indelibly gained
live the lesson
from what remains...

Read my son could grow.
With in his soul a hole.
God knows what holed and sunk in me.
Or where's my girl, are we still three?

Sometimes. I fear. We're lost. At sea.
Oh God. Oh please. Just let it be....

How lovely the smiles we wear,
While just for shots the smiles we wear;
Shinny teeth in chin-to-chin smiles,
App-cleaned faces, no pimple reveals…
I wish we were as happy as our pictures
For in shots we’re whole-faced
With a holed heart,
…nothing is more dangerous!...

Foot Loose Freestone

Foot loose
Recluse

Lost sole
Toe holed

Paw flawed
Cause thawed

Returns
Adjourns

His trek
To beck

Doctor
Cobbler

With glues
Fix shoes

To treat
His feet

So feat
Complete

With Soul
To stroll

Alone
Freestone...

crown of bobby pins and bandana
   she hoists a beer bottle scepter
   dime store paste royal necklace 
   moth holed sweater Queen's cape
   her well worn lawn chair throne
   she stays alert in  her tower
   surveys her realm on Alcott Lane
   nothing escapes the queen's watch...

wanting to be hero
hurriedly time, patience, wit, common sense all flew

I’ve decided to be rid of some things:

	a moth-holed sequined dress with bitter tags,
	the weeping journal of ennui and pain,
        the mocking trophy case of trophied dust,
        proud calligraphed to-do lists left unchecked.

Let them shout accusations from the curb!

he hated fall
leaves do fall
his spirits too
and raking leaves
he hated to do

but one day he
was to learn
that evil rake
your butt he'll burn

he stepped upon
the rake's sharp head
and holed his sneakers
he even bled
but just to add insult
to injury
the handle whipped up
and broke his knee...

She cooks, she sews
    a relic of the past
  the way the world goes

  A dimple in her cheek
    brave hope holed up in her heart
  that one knight in shining armor
    can still do his part

  to sweep her off her feet
    and into his arms
  where he will bask forever
    in her winsome charms...

VOID


In awed silence it’s the end of  today
Unflawed  blue void arching but holed
Where the last dregs of day are drained away
Through  countless  points  in the cold 

Pale blue faster and faster drains
Its life into dark blue,  then to black 
Until finally nothing but black remains
The remains of a day which cannot come back...

Edward Snowden

When Edward Snowden* snowed in,
no one thought it a sin,
save the snooping sultans  who froze.
When on the run or cubby-holed, for friends, he had only  woes.

in the closed door shadows
listen for her announcement
to precipitate his arrival
cock and sock in hands
for she will make him remove
any excess
splattered on her floor
from behind door
the grunts
have become one
and rhythm ceased its turn
Her rasping  off
as i scuttle back to safety
waiting for them to leave
our room...

Soup kitchens,
holed shoes, torned pocket

Shared bed,
stenched wall, damped floor

City siren,
whispering ally, neon glare

Brown bag,
trembling hand, goosed skin

Silked lined crombie,
blackened nails, matted hair

Stray dog,
molded bread, scavanged bin
 
Lost lust,
torn soul, wretched hope

Dedicated to "Boxcar Brian"...

In my
mind
the universe
resides.
Galaxies,
stars,
planets
all spinning,
living
in my head.
Everything.
People
places
and things,
all in 
my head.
Past,
present
and future 
holed up
 in my brain.
All that
I see
feel
and touch
found in the
lobes of my
mind.
I look
in the 
mirror.
What 
is it
I see?
It’s all
In my head,
even me!...

Today I found a pack of holes
with invisible surrounds
I put them in a see through box
in theory out of bounds
If by chance you come across them
please leave them as they are
they're sorted for convenience
so as not to look bizarre
Treat them with respect and care
so important is their place
if not holed up away from sight
they disappear without a trace...

Holy crap!!! My youngest daughter got me a four holed hummingbird feeder for Mother's Day. I was upset that I wouldn't be able to see them, until the snap dragons came up. I saw one last week, but the small feeder I had leaked. I got lots of pictures. FINALLY!!!!

Gaza's hostages  

When IDF tried to free six of Hamas hostages 
holed up in a tunnel, the six, two women and
four men were found dead 
three questions arise.
When were the hostages shot?
During the firefight?
Or were they sacrifices?
we know that the vile regime
the Israel regime is capable of anything foul 
Hamas could have murdered 
the hostages to stop the IDF from searching 
for more hostages

Valletta city:
Palazzi like clothes-lines of unwashed underware,
And stale, crumbling  cake-carnival,
A giant cheese-grater,
Across a block of holed cheese.
City-fortress without a gate,
undressed and shamed,
A gaping hole between two thighs.
Hoarse Parliament, two sizes small.
Theater-pjazza under sun and sweat,
Rain and wet, and noise annoyed,
At least cumfy plastic seats.
Piano playing his violin.
In Karnival town....

Sleeping through a sturgeon moon:
Plump with caviar roe, green like corn,
swollen with grain, full and red burning,
squinting through forest fire,
pigeon-holed by sky and telescope,
barked at by howler monkeys at dusk,
woken by screecher owls at dawn,
navigated on by explorers,
wished upon by natives,
wondered at by archaic sapiens.

Your pull is strong, I’m sleeping through
Wait for the wane, anticipate the new....
