Short Motorized Poems

Al Gore Jr. set out to save the world
His plan to stop climate change, he unfurled --
   But since stopping emissions
   Depends on politicians --
He's selling motorized scooters instead...

Deer
Deer running through the forest,
As graceful as can be,
Her white tail in the air,
Saying "I know you're there",
As majestic as this beast could be,
It will be in great agony,
For the motorized beast has caught it....

An ice storm to end all ice storms just hit us big time
Like riding a motorized sleigh spinning round on a dime
Swallowed my dentures
A totally wild adventure
What in hell am I thinking, I'm still in my prime?

Huh! ...

Steampunk bunny has an attitude
that can cut through a park and land on a wall
Motorized with gears that are tricky,
he is about seven feet tall.
He is a bit arrogant, but I admire his gall.
He makes decisions quickly, never does stall....

Spinning spokes upon bustling narrow city streets
A two wheeled mouse amid prowling motorized cats 
Plays games of timing and finely tuned awareness

Sudden bus stops, springing car doors, and Jaywalkers
Each can be found within the dealer’s loaded deck
The sound of coasting, click, click, are barely heard

stranger 
in a strange city
peers out
from a glass pane
of a forty-first floor
hotel room
down at a busy
evening avenue;

neon-lit,
the world below
seems to pulsate
in every direction,
throbbing,
vibrating
in a motorized
frenzy

of means
and of ends,
same everywhere
as anywhere,
the ultimate purpose,
it seems,
is still somewhere near
nowhere....

watermelon sunday
oldies station playing
walmart french bread and a lunch bucket
wishing i could play

no money in my pocket now
gas in my motorized efficiency on the other side of half
donation day coming soooo slowwwwly
wishing i could work

nowhere to lay my head
the high 28 but sunny
the low 9 with no throw 
wishing i could just catch it for a change...

Traveling cosmos in a star-crossed house at rest
She watched for dreams, catching only the best.
How the house was motorized is anyone’s guess
She traveled around the stars, our friend Ma Cress.

Mystically she was in tune with another world.
Her hopes and dreams were not unfurled.
But we were in awe of Ma Cress for sure.
Her dream state was decidedly totally pure....

SPRING DAY

the park is full

of green grass,

hula hoops,

labradoodles with their people.

shoes on rocks and sand,

alongside the creek.

motorized toy car

splashes through water,

under wood plank bridge.

a flower here, a flower there

on the root infested path.

parking lot flooded

with our car and theirs.

infectious drum is beating,

everyone is greeting

this loveliest Spring day.
