Short Inserts Poems

A lot lies asleep
Man inserts his concrete seed
A building is birthed 
Empty rooms reach the heavens 
Below, homeless live in hell...

Wept tears of mere shame 
Felt legendary lament  
Hunted down like game 

Overwhelmed indeed
I need stepping stones towards help...
I'm a worthless weed

Vibrant vibes' venom
Inserts under my chest skin -
My heart's the target...

Samantha can take blue jeans and turn them into a work of art.
I can try to do the same thing, and it looks botched, not at all smart.
She had on jeans today with lace inserts that were darling and cute.
If I tried it, mine would be a disaster. People would make fun and hoot....

The postman brings the mail
through rain and snow and hail.
What an example of reliance –
his arrival’s certain as a science!
With care and pride and scrutiny
he sorts the mail responsibly:
Name and address must agree
with the box of each addressee.
Every piece he carefully inserts
where it belongs, lest it reverts.
My one complaint is that he fills
my box with far too many bills....

Of a holocaust, the last redemption;
like a spirit
rising from its body at the end,
the earth ascends to heaven
and for a moment steals infinity
and artfully inserts it
into everyday.
Beyond that vain acridity,
it is the dying
that unites the earth and sky.
This transitory brotherhood 
with fog and mist and cloud
now tints the air
as one amorphous curtain drifts 
to make the known surreal.
And out of chaos
comes another harbinger
of paradise.

A Man Called Poet Ron-


Ole, to woe unto us there was a poet Called Ron
There once was a man who liked paper.
He said, "the different wallpaper "
It was rather recent,
But not quite tasty dessert

~

He couldn't say no to the inserts.
Once he was writing on the paper.
He said, "See the lovely picture!"
It was quite, polished


But not very unpublished,
And he couldn't resist the  out blurts .
