Short Masticated Poems

DIGRESSIONS ON BILLBOARD HAIKU

Sick of the commute?

	Early morning pavement gray as masticated 
	breakfast sprinkled with broken glass.

Brakelights driving you crazy?

	Blinking red Morse with its Monday 
	bad news: Accident Ahead.

Take the train and dream.

	And off beyond the shoulder, fields of grasses 
	growing free, whatever the mind can see....

*Of The Sea*

taunted torrent tamed
cremating callous crave
melting meagre sigh
hoisted horizon plies
fractured feelings fostered
moaning mystic metres

wielded waves yawned
puncturing pulpy pawn
merging masticated clown

lanky luck leers
vying voluptuous fear
felon fate peered

hoisted crunching creed's
of the sea.

wielded wits wept
bruising bounty belch
felon feelings fetched
taunted callous cleft
hoisted hurts bled
moaning mist melts

meagre metamorphoses squashed
pluming punctured prank
tolling toiled trance

masticated memory lurched
basked coup's birth
vying voluptuous verge

braced ocean breaks
drown drooling mistake?

gaunt path gnawed
heaving hampered awe
sassy zeal seeped'n
felon furnace spree
masticated moans yawned
bruised bridge's pawn

airy atmosphere amputated
trailing alakazam taunted
gloom's gored lips

voluptuous asunder vied
punctured pulses plied
raged reels' wiles

fate fostered boundary
smothered silhouettes merry.

felon fate fostered
feigning flimsy clusters
voluptuous verge drown
cremating callous clown
dark dribbles birthed
hampered hankerings hoisted

moaning mists raved
foiling rusty rage
wanky will wailed

meagre moans masticated
voluptuous vying hibernated
bruised bugs perfected

porous pulses oozed
tracing taunted tune.

worn wit's fang
omen's punctured prank
hoisted odds hampered
relieving rusty orders
monstrous myth melt
dripping dark delves

eerie experiment etched
foiling felon flesh
mental horizon's mesh

fragile future's confetti
humming hacked hymns
quarantined fate flicked

callous contractions cruised
birthing blitzkrieg bruised.
     '20:05:14:18:56

Note: Of masticated mentality....

sassy smirk scrunched
spanking salient sucks
smog smithereen scorched
sorting saucy sauce
savvy strengths spent
savaging sumptuous sects

dark dribbles drooled
damping dainty doom
dense dug douche

moaning mist melted
meager mends masticated
merging mushy murky

felon fate features
feigning fabulous fractures.

porous pasts pumped
peered pulpy pump
bounty blitzkrieg bursts
leering lanky lurch
lusty lips lobbed
cremating callous cost

masticated memories moaned
trading taunted tone
salient liquid sown

eerie ocean etched
kaleidoscopic churn's cleft
tuning torpedo's trend

haughty horizon hankers
mocking Machli's bicker.
       '20:05:02:18:23

Note: Of an oozing ocean and a taunted tiger....

saucy sun scourged
grazing gaunt gores
dark drooling dug
fiery felony gulped
eerie entourage etched'n
cruising callous crest

punctured past wept
taunting tuning test
la-de-da lust lent

receding dawn rusted
reeling rays busted
cruise bruised rugged

felon funeral fetched
masticated mosaic melted.

Note: Of punctured picture. Inspired by a shot I took 5:44pm today....

The gray granite outcroppings loom
masticated mountains blasted yet brazen.
Their jagged ledges and softer heights
topped with rust brown and burnt orange maples.
Fog distances them 
 softens them 
as they seem to overlap
Recede ..into semi transparent wash
like the edges of a tissue paper collage.
Each layer 	seeming to de compose
into the next    each symmetrically
more exquisite than the next…...

Trump Cannot Be Duplicated

Trump without a doubt cannot be duplicated;
To own self and only him will he be dedicated;
Heard that his genes,
Were those of jelly beans;
Died when to much of himself he masticated.

Jim Horn

That is why he is such a colorful character.
Reagan even liked jelly beans. He would 
eat them when he was inb Boston and his 
bean had been baked from watching a 
baseball game....

Listen to poem:

You sound like a fingernail
dragged over a blackboard.
Every word cast as blackmail
from a forked tongue in cheek.
Bathed in the vile, bile of diatribe,
masticated to be flung as dung expelled.
Your snarled words reek with 
the dissonant cadence of discordance.
As your eyes flicker
from side to side with lies,
you look away, unable 
to face me, eye to eye,
unmasked,
unshielded,
nakedly exposed,
in tune tonality,
truthful....

Hurtling toward me was a messy, slimy mass
Of masticated food from a diner with no class!
Glancing off my head (I ducked!), it landed on poor old
Mama, right smack dab in the face. It slid, then rolled
Onto her lap. The offender saw her mopping her face.
Unabashed, he refilled and, without a trace of grace,
Talked, with cavernous mouth wide open, disgusting us all.
Henceforth, Food Flinger, cease showing such egregious gall.

Cherries with the wine,
Silky red curves to dine,
Floating with the ice,
Looms my tongue to charms and dice;

She devil in brine,
Wet dips and her wits decline,
Breathless she tosses,  
In the fresh frolic gossips;

Cheered she baits just fine,
Duly caressed remains mine,
Clamors to recant, 
In her to and fro descents;

Between sedation,
Dances edged by temptation,
No accusation,
Accepts flagrant violation;

Bitten ecstasy;
Masticated revelation:...
