Short Irreverent Poems

Is it all about ennui
keeping boredom at bay
or is it recognition
to make me feel

The pen stains
you wear like badges
scattered tatters across
your khaki JNCO jeans
tell me more than
your irreverent demeanor

May you fly high....

A well known bible school teacher
Went to the game with the preacher
She shouted obscenities
And made no amenities
He had her banned from the bleachers !!...

Irrelevant anomaly?
individual autonomy

Irreverent reality
(consumate depravity)

Continuing disparity
divisive inhumanity

Nhilist demographics
insidiously tragic......

i’m right reverend 
   he’s very right reverend 
       the most reverend 
    somehow all irreverent 
   self righteous reverence

Fans screamed,
the future cried

Freezing the moment,
truth underlies

Freedom on fire,
music bespoke

Silence irreverent
—voices of hope

Are you wearing black?
Yes it’s a funeral I know 
But underneath the garb
Is that all black also?

No, it’s not irreverent
Picturing you in lacy black
There was no bigger letch
Than your dead uncle Jack...

monkey in a tree
monkey do what monkey see. . . .
he's irreverent

human on the ground
once was lost- but to be found. . . .
mankind can repent

It's Benny Hill here entertaining you all
With antics so silly, hilarious with falls
Irreverent without doubt
Scantily clad ladies throughout
Proud to be associated with this hilarious guffaw...

Hop scotch not
Possible with these
Skinned knees
Bleeding.

Fish kisses wiping
Away the disparity and
Dismissing the
Consequence.

Admonishment so
Wholesome and
Irreverent.

Buried into the
Pillow now
Feathers disrobe.

The show must go on.
Under a sable cloud.
I am on the vast stage
to perform.

Tall cacti and harsh
dunes will not find
a sweet acacia.

When I am hungry
I would like to write something
very personal on a yellow paper.

The potter’s wheel will not
move today.
The potter had turned into clay.

it’s too easy to mock
and ridicule
to take on airs
so pompous
pretentious
arrogant
irreverent
and insolent

blatant cheap attempts
to have us look
the other way
at least momentarily
take the attention
off our own 
personal flaws
and shortcomings

Embittered winter
indignant
spreads rancor
erudite in malice.

Irreverent arbitrate
derisive
disdains masses
sardonic in verse.

Vengeful slayer
belligerent
inflicts brutality
pitiless in wrath.

Steadfast rime
unyielding
immovable blight
resolute in rage.

Never able to break on through
 caught in the time capsule
of yesterday’s tomorrow
he wandered alone … 
Searching the darkened streets 
of Santa Monica
hearing the music—chasing the words
dancing as demons followed behind
Channeling ancient voices 
 trapped outside a future closed
to his irreverent questioning
—lost within the storm

'Twould certainly appear that Robots are here
To heighten the fear that our end is quite near.

They drink them no coffee; they take them no breaks:
They have them no injuries from which they might ache.

Yes you they'll replace with nary a trace;
Blast you off to deep outer space.
       With irreverent haste.
           End of the race.
                G'BYE!...

Auld Clootie of corruption fame,
how smooth your fork-ed hiss,
deceiving hearts and tickling ears
with your sweet, seductive kiss.

Oh, master of enticement
how fragrant is your breath,
while whispering temptation,
condemning souls to death. 

And in this wicked world we're 
bound by your irreverent reign
'til heaven strikes a fatal blow
to your unhallowed name....

Irreverent arsenic of lake bottom 
was seeping in me
I was riding on waves, moon-stuck.

The nude shot 
of anemone, blindfolded
after the criminal assault.
Why they were throwing the lewed comments ?

A raw cave 
of white pain, drags the deity out
and dances on hawthorns.
The butchers become sick,
sick to the bones.

O democracy, king was not wise,
wise was not king.

Byron didn't wait for me.
Across the hall Becky tried not to look.
Chalk was everywhere.
Knuckles was already suspended.
Trailing the varsity jackets I
Oscillated between chic and irreverent.
Someone yelled, "barf!"
Charades and hustlers cover every inch.
How am I going to find my locker?
Oswald points me to "304."
Oblong and wrong I walk there.
Looking forward, looking backward....

A small irreverent demon
tunnels in and out of me.
Perhaps he is related to legendary gnomes
for he digs just for the pleasure
of moving amounts of me about
and he’s not particular.
Today he is mining 
in the bowels of my earth.
I feel his hot breath
delving, mining, heaving out
a steaming crapulence
that arrives as talk
a kind of speech,
a kind of spoken demonology,
harvested as poetry....

Writing outside
where the failing wind
sources my contours
the whoosh of irreverent travel
slips the ear
and the bristle yap of a garden dog
above mist swords
and billowed edges
whisper in a diluted sun
set for another encore
grass tantalises with samba sways
and bushes wave their tendrilled fingers
in evenings gaps
golden ashes transmute to dirt
as dancing flies
cool in disputed thermals...

They walked out gagged 
before they entered the water
for an irreverent
ceremony.

It was a coal time 
to start the fire. A salute
in light was given to those
who were alive.

You can go for a strip-
search of a gaint jelly fish
to find the vertical beams
in its dome.

A painted stork comes 
with an empty pouch. There 
was a perpetual delay in
understanding the parenthesis.

I will never have
 -money, thick and green.
I will never know the looks,
dirty with envy and greed. 
I will not walk empty, cold as stone- irreverent.

I will pain in thought,
cry solitarily.
I will live in love,
love in life- forever more.
My heart agape,
my mistakes iron heavy.

I will live life 
the only way I know how.
After missing chances, 
Regretting times
I will learn to rise, sky scraping high,
With pride....

Hold me tight
to free me
from this screaming isolation.

Hug me right
to free me
for our streaming restoration.

Hear me fight
here to free us
from my darkest dream depression.

Speak this night
for freedom
from our wrong self-shaming
other-blaming impressions,
cold climates of suppression,
heated hates for oppression,
reserved and calculated rates
for irreverent repressions.

Hold me tight
to free me
from this lack
of free associations....
