Short Lefts Poems

two wrongs
don't make
a right

lost trying 
to find a
parking
spot

driving
around
the block
i found that

two lefts
do make
a right...

• Down the hallway, take 2 lefts
• Take a right and find a right
• Hear it crying? Knock on it twice
• The crying will be no more ...

“cock burn’s”


my ship has kissed the lips
of the mighty Mississip

to memory lane
planned my way
to every disaster
the path travelled always the lesser
all the rights i took were wrong
all the lefts
have left me here
forwards not to come
and passed the past i had...

Anger swells inside. 
Fire burns, thunder rumbles.
She wants to scream, 
yet all that comes out is quiet mumbles.
Poisen.
The thoughts are poisen.
Thoughts of death, thoughts of blood.
Two paths.
Right is death, left is life.
Right's dark tunnel becomes brighter,
Lefts a little darker.
The choice is close....

OH MAIDEN FAIR


Oh Maiden Fair
On the yard in the moonlit night
Ah! Fair maiden, playing the ladle
Crossing lefts while going right
Canvas curtain covers while your bathen
Oh Maiden Fair
Under light
In the night
Beautiful maiden music you're playing
You have princes and kings falling

A mothers gift ,

Generally at Christmas .

Easiest option which I hope she will like .




( Eau De Kelly)  Fragrance for older ladies , who do remember ...


I have just "invented "this new form of poetry . 

As you can see it is the 4~7~11 .

First line has 4 syllables , next 7 and the last has 11 .

And , if you think it stinks......... yes it probably does......


All rights are reserved ( and a few lefts)....

How could
it have 
gone?
I see 
paths,
so many 
paths.
Infinite
in nature.
Twist and
and turns,
lefts and rights.
Fork after fork
choice after
choice.
How
to navigate?
Where to 
turn?
Each path,
unique.
Each path
a different 
reality.
Different 
universe.
Different 
endings,
different life.
Choice after 
choice.
Many
outcomes 
to be had.
God’s 
eye view.
All have
 occurred.
Infinite lives
lived, 
experienced
all!...

When may one say a long time has passed?
After a year, five years, ten?
We each count time on foreign-made clocks,
On sunsets and rises, on appointments and schedules.

Skin remolds itself until there are no molds lefts,
Muscles and bones have expiration dates
Heartbeats are not drums for your amusement
They are countdowns.

Or is it possible there is no time at all?
History’s author writes too fast to tell.
Can we ever know each other?
Can we ever know ourselves?...

Singularity
Epitome of clarity
Pitter patter rarely
Potter’s dreams can’t scare me
Still frame
New game
You and I are not the same
I ebb omen and I flow Roman
Never stopped, steamrollin’
The chosen showman
Man of the show
Light up like somethin you know
Attention with proper intention
Then disappear with your patterns
Trips around Saturn
One left and then one right turn
But never two lefts
Because two lefts makes a theft
A theft called circle
Conniving like Steve Urkel
