Short Miscellaneous Poems

give me pockets
that’s where miscellaneous life goes
I have a nose for the roses
the grass demands my toes
my heart needs pockets
to bring it all home

To my Moonbeam leaping stag,
box  of  miscellaneous keys two
little shelves your favorite chicken 
salad  with pot of  Lady  Grey tea.
Royal jelly honey-based receipe
all natural retorative  toiletries.
Splendid Summer afternoon
strolling and chatting in the deep 
wicker chair at the old country house....

A heart that is 
you can break into pieces

Love
a cheap illusion
in the broken time,
pain there is incurable

Though no medicine
breath is alive still
veins bring strength
to live again with hope

Life
the name of the endless long history
with miscellaneous sorrow and happy

Miscellaneous

The escargots attack,
They hide their guns 
On their spiral shells,
Be careful, Giants.

You think, you think,
But you do nothing,
It’s like watching
A sailboat, set sail
Heading for the moon.

A felucca on the Nile,
A white and round veil,
The soothing under the sun
Won the whole crew....

STORM 
thunder clashes 
a deluge of rain follows 
no birds tweeting 

MARCH ON 
the bugle’s first post 
soldiers on parade 
heavy footsteps 

CIVIL WAR 
guns in abundance 
the clock is ticking fast 
stalemate 

SUSPENSE 
atmospheric music 
there’s a muffled scream 
glass shattering 

SNOWSTORM 
heavy snow falling 
all quiet on the outside 
fire crackles...

The residents will soon be moving.
There is lots of miscellaneous and
still useable items.
Some old growth redwoods 
and fishable seas, some 
breathable air
and unpolluted shores,
bargains galore so
don't hesitate
to make an offer.
All prices are negotiable
and everything must go.
Saturday, from 9-5, please,
no earlies.
Earth, the nearest cross-street
is Milky Way....

BIRDS
chirping birds 
on an oak tree 
in the longest day 

BUTTERFLY 
a common butterfly feasting on a flower 
it is the last supper 
times up 

FATIMA 
shepherd children 
a vision of an angel 
fact or fiction 

CAT 
a cat 
sleeps anywhere and everywhere 
not fussy 

CRICKETS 
silence reigns continuously 
except for the crickets 
chirping...

Dreams after dreams
onto the embroidered sky
to dye your fainted heart

Dreams flap the wings of hopes
to your deepest sky of miscellaneous minds

All there
unseen, unspoken
like the ascetic wanderer
for bringing the peace on the flying wings of pigeons

All there are auspicious starting
but ending is esoteric

Oh the goalless dreams forgetting the roots
now seeking the ashes of Phoenix truths

My mission for today
is to be kind to stupid people,

by which I mean, not the uneducated,
but 'woke' teachers, professors,
all self-serving experts, and miscellaneous
radical eggheads.

They need a donkey to care for,
for donkeys are smart
and like dogs
they will offer them life lessons.

If the donkey occasionally kicks them,
out of an excess of love,
then I would not laugh,

just smile, and hopefully,
not in any condescending way....

Twas yet again the occasion had occurred
When we had acknowledged each other’s existence
Though we paused at the chance to address the issue
‘Twas in that moment of panic I had asked to speak to you
But you had other miscellaneous missions to frequent
No words were pronounced of your return
I coveted to enunciate of a keepsake I had composed
Yet you shunned away my generosity
How for a moment I yearn for your ear
You’d cease to be dazed by such fallacious theories...

Beauty of nature is in its dictum.
The world is being stratified,
here life and plants are as the guide,
charming consensus of the stratum.

Hushing tones of the swinging pines,
hikers often do approach,
how the flowers claim for touch -
miscellaneous layers, medley signs.

Transparent water of streams and ponds,
human nature making bonds,
entwined, enchanted – gazing.

From the distance looks the deer
on exhausted mountaineer –
sheep grassland biome are grazing....

Education doctrine
Is racked on test scores
Measuring up the most valuable.
Receptive impressions gouged 
By a lionizing of form and procedure
Severing umbilical 
With state branded protocol
Mass harvesting, mass manipulation

Come a time when
Teachers, legislators, parents
Can embrace possibilities
and give up defining.
What is already known
Is not worth repeating
So fill your own head
With miscellaneous garbage
And leaving budding youth
To their natural instincts...
