Listen to poem:
Now here's mishmash mess of a dish,
A hodgepodge of things you won't miss,
Use-by-dates, well past encore,
Muddled up on the floor,
A culinary concoction so swish!

Nothing To Say

Nought, zero, nix, blank
Out of information
To impart with no
Heroics to present
Idolized in prose.
Nubilous words flounder
Growing into a mishmash of

Total nothingness.
Opine this silly

Sentiment anyway
As if
You'all are even listening.

north and south
east and west
the seasons four

regular like clockwork
they drove our calendar
now somehow become
an unpredictable mishmash

lacking rhyme or reason
we now keep leery tabs
on climate change

Realizations

the world is not black and white
the world is many shades of gray
truth and lies can be the same color
everyone says that growing is hard
no one says that not growing is harder
life is a fusion of emotions and seeing
a mishmash of beauty and ugly
one must face the ugly
in order to see the beauty

Premium Member just sayin’

big  spin
  win   again
     in   like   Flynn

hodgepodge   dodge
   slash   bash 
  mishmash 

sycophants
   chants   rants
  seat-of-the-pants

riff-raff
   grift   graft
   craft

debate   obfuscate
   obligate
   alienate

annoy     enjoy
      deploy  
 destroy

curtail   assail 
     derail …
         pray tell ?

Dogging

She was a good dog but at times
she could be a ,
like the way she would look back
when I called her
with a certain demeanor, perhaps borrowed
from my ex-wife.
I wonder sometimes about old souls
and totems and all the other
confusing mishmash that folks
fall back on when a dog looks at you
as if it were taking you for a walk,
and you had better try
a whole lot harder.

puffy clouds regal
     float in wind swept spaces
                     lift
         brown flecked eagle

      birds in mishmash flight
        breaching boundaries
                    vexed
        by jets thwarting height

        courtship songs tumbling
        planes intrusive rumbling
        environmental grumbling

Almost Human

She was a good dog but at times
she could be a ,
like the way she would look back
when I called her
with a certain demeanor, perhaps borrowed
from my ex-wife.
I wonder sometimes about old souls,
animal spirits and all the other
confusing mishmash that folks
fall back on when a dog looks at you
as if it were taking you for a walk,
and you had better try
a whole lot harder.

Grave Apparel

Dead skin, brown and broken sits
Strung in a monstrous mishmash

Trodden down by pompous feet
And those that gaze may wonder
Why tortured skin 
should be worn by a fool’s sinister foot

The dead era still walks free
Rapping coldly on the floor
Treading the path of righteousness

Though on occasion
Thieves set upon this broken body
To set it where men do not seek
Watching from on high
For the dead to reclaim the dead

Mishmash

Away from this mishmash world, 
Alone, just by myself,
in the serene solitude of seclusion,
Wrapped up in the gathering gloom 
of this solemn dusk,
I am at peace at last with myself.

With the sun long gone and
the moon lost in a maze of haze,
With the hills standing gray and mute,
Where would one go to find
one’s soul lost along the way?

Mishmash of thoughts,
smashing potatoes,
brightened with butter
and lots of salt.

Wherever was i,
thoughtless, scattering,
smishing and smattering
what ought

to be sound, fearless
and earth shattering—
a cause.

Finally,
the mishmash
of thoughts,

lined up,
tear down
the page…
all the rage,

totally engaged,
a symphonic sage,

a madman’s parade,
a sword twisted—
a poem wielded and waged.

Colours of My Dream

Iridescent bubbles, in my sleep, I see a mishmash of things: some dear to me, some odd - mind's subtle hues gleam, a hodgepodge they seem; Aw! in my dream I see sky with two suns and stream - baffling scenes, mismatch, I deem; Still, I love my mind's craftwork, I glee, iridescent bubbles, in my sleep, I see

Men Dont Fit the Sex Symbol

For women men drop big cash 
To have them toothy smiles flash:
If one needs windows, gets Sash:
Blenders to tomatoes mash,
Women quite free to sound brash!

For handsome men – No! A Trash!
Even Eves the idea thrash,
For being infinitely rash, 
Save one did cash in banks stash…

Macho Men can’t their teeth gnash 
Nor round with displeasure dash:
Whether Norman, Noah or Nash 
They’d be unleashing tongue lash,
On their names leaving a gash… 
No luck with views A Mishmash.
