Trump disparages Dr. Ford
Claiming "Second Sight" like the Lord
In quite lurid detail
Trump describes a female
His mother was one we're assured....

A baboon who had charm, grace and flair
had a steamy and lurid affair
with a slender gazelle
who conceived very well
a gazoon with a reddish derriere....

Lovely, lurid red 
Jacob is struggling 
Is this really happening?
I feel lost, between worlds
A white habit to my left
Hands clasped together 
Heaven or Hell? 
The ground is red as blood...

Zealots

zealous zealots zigzag
running rampant, repeating
dubious data drawn
from fallacious forums
which write woeful
tales that try to teach
lurid laughable lies

Converted To Being Perverted

Trump's blood is both vivid and lurid;
Considered someone who is converted;
Could care less,
And life a mess;
Now a manipulator as well as perverted.

Alone with fifty men six months at sea
torture, this womanless monotony
after lusty dreams
follow lurid schemes
curvaceous manatees look good to me

The lurid moon-
Dim as an eye, 
squinting, and
waning unnoticed in 
the despair of darkness,
like souls that trudge
through the roadless
vast transit of Sheol.
Guideless wanderers 
lost: no spirit, essence,
nor aim....

Sunrise
Night surrenders
Morning’s first light renews
Robin’s song usurps crickets’ choir
Cool wet dew of night still glistens; insolent
Lurid terror bows to sun’s glow
Coffee’s odor beckons
Slumber subsides
Sunrise...

Bleached
Melon
From a vine
Growing upon earth
Individuality owned
Upon conception of lurid pulchritude fashion
Designed scarcity subsequent to generations of procreation in essence




written with a picture of a white pumpkin in my mind....

Senryu 
 A cynical person
Protects his soppy heart
From mawkishness

 Senryu
A lurid nightmare
Is an extension of a day
That went ing bad 


Senryu
                      They say he is rude
When objecting against old age
They expect poise...

Pulling at me, my anguish tears

Angry and alone, nobody cares

In my thoughts I am so lost

Nobody understands the dreadful cost

Fully aware of my mental rage

Unable to advance my life’s full page

Lurid memories of war, the cruelest of cage...

This poem has not yet been saved.
These daughters are far from depraved.
And all the elephants now live in caves
While you read a poem, unsaved.
Loose, rugged, and hot,
Then gone in an instant. 
Like all our lurid lives
It survives, even as it dies....

Humidity’s blanket rests upon the pond
frogs draped in lurid air
idle on glazed lily pads
waxed turtles gleam
amid the dance of hazy heat
a silent duck preens
as dragonflies swim
through moistened air
the heron waits.

Sanskrit sweeping bronze and spine
riddled there when you were mine
underneath the spice and sun
cinnamon skin and sleepy rum

Now the wind has blown the words
riddled once and then disturbed
blown to dust and settled seas
salt and brined the lurid breeze....

Although my house needs a good cleaning,
toward an old movie, I’m leaning.
This dark, lurid doozie
about a young floozy
will save me from work so demeaning.

HMS and PS both say 9  9  6  6  9.

Where secret risers meet,
I've heard the lurid tales,
Upon sick gray waters,
dizzy be the mornings,
Clogged with the sound 
Of coughing babies and laughing witches.
There! Against the rotten orange sky
Lies the remains of all you ever loved.
Hallowed be thine night!...

One boom,
Excitement; what,
Distraction so quickly,
Anxious to a maximum thrust.
Astounded, wondering, if others heard.
Expressive quiet; following,
Lost, for just a minute,
Bewildered shake,
One boom,
