Short Inflatable Poems

The balloon rises 
up into the atmosphere, 
floating through the air....

My dog has a sexual addiction and I know this for sure
because he bought an inflatable leg from the dog adult store....

A duck that used to waddle
Could not swim, just paddle
This concerned it of course
Using an inflatable horse
He swam the lake on its saddle...

Pumped Up

A robotic boyfriend she dated
Was ‘blow up’ and voice activated
She had a quick grope
And said up periscope
And that’s when his doo dah inflated...

The dead haven't much to say.

I see the living and the dead
in the same swimming pool -
doggy paddling.

The living are composing speeches
in their heads
for whenever the dead feel the urge to utter.

Meanwhile inflatable sharks
keep circling....

Please, the Wind of Life, blow into my middle.
Purge-it of any injuries brought about by struggle.
Top off my heart like an inflatable and enable it to float.
Therefore, may my heart sing its serenade chant?

flowers
                      abloom, flory
            loving, wedding, growing
bouquets, blossom, inflatable, bouyant
        deflating, bursting, tethering
                  helium, colorful
                         balloons...

Inflatable Swan 


I thought it would be fun to ride a  wave 

on my inflatable swan and just lave

in my  pink bikini

everyone came to  see  me

swan took a dive,  top gave way with a rave

clock hanging pendulous
fealty
     realty
sitting stoned on the ride to work
dazed and bedazzled by the shining
working, heavy engine roar.
sitting stoned on the way home
waiting
    debating
wishing you had
avoided the trappings of middle-class
     two-car garage
            inflatable
                 single-serving
                      trophy wife

air rockets skyward
uppercutting inside
plastic neon flesh
contorting at inhuman angles
what does my body language spell?

ankles anchored into the Earth
to stay grounded as the wave
of time and space crashes
a flood of stagnant flux

there is a symphony of bones
snapping and cracking
in twisted orchestrations
the act of existing for me
is a resilient demonstration...

(This is a fictional poem)

I burned my son's inflatable doll.
He'll have a real woman or no woman at all.
When he learned what I did, he cussed me out.
I took him to the woodshed and he started to pout.

When I found his doll, I was shocked.
Now I know what he was doing everytime his door was locked.
When it comes to my son's love life, it is pretty dim.
Everybody learned about his doll and now no girl will go out with him....

The self 
is but a wicked dream 
that lifts you high 
to let you fall.

"Inflatable", men call such boast 
that stretches the imagine 
so to propel the I 
to heights unknown to none save "me".

A bloated thrill is I 
whose bubble bursts too soon, 
fading into the insignificance 
of a splat of spit.

Why do we flatter ourselves 
by raising pompous sails 
to catch the wind that blows 
in the doldrums of our self-esteem?...

Its uses, I guess, are debatable
But oh, what a grin it produced!
A turkey, both fake and inflatable,
Was in a new store introduced.

I almost gave in to temptation,
For what a good joke it would be
When the guests, beaming in admiration,
Would hear hosts claim it chemical free. 

Vegetarians likely would love it,
Sitting out on a platter to tease,
While the faces of those who learn of it
Would spout giggles, to varied degrees....

Christmas lights on almost every house

And in the yard, a newer sight

Santas, Snowmen, and Penguins too

Bouncing about, as if to take flight


Tethered by air hoses and plastic spikes

They strain and dance in their plight

But in the morning they lay in a heap

Not such a cheerful or uplifting sight


Christmas cheer comes again at dark

A tribute to some decorating fun

Magical creatures again sit upright

Alive again until dawn has come...

It is so cold

I feel
Like
A robot

Warm
Me
With

Gasbag

A compromise

The

No

And

A sad time for children in foreign parts
that have no Target stores to be lost and found in.

Sad for inflatable Santa's gunned down by B.B pellets.
For all the children, pets and reindeer that do not make
the last fuzzy bit of the six p.m. news.

I’m working on my happiness, not forcing anything,
 being considerate
to people and their wrong opinions -
it’s what the baby Jesus would want.

In the stores, I avoid Christmas music by singing 
badly and loudly....
