Trip On A Tanker
We had taken a trip on a tanker;
Arrived at a dock and did anchor;
We would land;
Saw much sand;
The first one off was a big banker.

A one-off was Barnett Newman
spectral closeness was his plan
He created the art of the zip*

Each day the airwaves brings an expert
Leaves one in awe a trifle inert
There they are on the telly
Advice on setting a jelly
Enough to put one off their dessert.

Minimalist Donald Judd
from whom simplicity did flood
Letting the surrounds have their say
three dimensional art his forte
From installationist Allan Kaprow
ethereal happenings did flow
One-off activities non·par·eil
living art so surreal
Are you aware of a website called “Pantie Waste”
Yup! We can buy second-hand panties, not very chaste
Is this an internet stunt
Nope, a personal affront
Unbelievably disgusting, I rule this one off-base
(Check it out.... it's for real!
a cluster of grapes will get my attention
i'll want to know just who you are
take care to make them fresh
and cold
and my eyes will flutter
pull one off the vine
put it in my mouth
and there will be
no doubt
you could be my man
just bring me grapes
"What kind act can I do" I hear you say
Well maybe a greeting or just a smile
Go on, be kind and go that extra mile
And not just a one off, but every day.

A five minute fad
a one week wonder
fame for a quarter of an hour...
Fleeting images..
shadows in the sun
vapour of the morning dew..
Petals of a flower
a one-off-
performance
penning
a hiku
touching
a sculpture
viewing
a painting
... anew
Normally I can relax in the woods,
Today flies and mosquitoes are annoying me.
I slap them off my leg,
And blow them off my shoulder.
I flick a green winged one off my chair,
Can feel something crawling slowly
Toward my knee
I forgot to wear Vicks
Which bugs detest.
A tick?
I cannot wait to see.
Nawty There
How can I address you properly?
You can't take off my dress
You nawty child
You've gotten her pregnant!
Get out of this house now
He was pulling one off
And pulled a muscle
It was a power shaft
She always upsets him
Only coz she loves him
The concept of time
Meant nothing when fecking
They worked as pilots
For the Arkansass National Guard
The wind felt
Catching one off guard
Sometimes refresh
Other times bad and good
The wave backward and forward of trees
The view of the ocean as the waves maneuver
Breezes front and center
Embrace
North to South
East to West
Breezes with their own confess
Outward blow
Some fast and suddenly slow
One never knows
Handy work Heaven
Breezy Point
Breathing in and out
The breeze moving about.
randomness in art
essentially
a one-off experiment to suggest
a counterintuitive interpretation
In a visual representation
with the element chance
to bring spontaneity
thereby
liberating creativity from rational thought
becomes
full of surprise
open to different interpretations
revealing
visually striking
unexpected connections
of meaningful shapes
in
chance
imaginative conclusions
Pull the wool over our eyes
Exploit your bully pulpit
Ha, ha! Even ‘Wooly Bully’
is relatively young ~
It's not the culprit
___________________________
'Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs'
were a 'one-off' pop group of the
mid-1960's. Their hit was titled
'Wooly Bully,' some kind of dance.
It was one-off.
I will not punish myself
again for brazen, stone writing,
girding the aneurism, after
a long siege.
An entire night was lost
in repairing the blue vase.
You want to cut off the coalfield.
The gloom plunges deep. A
swallow tweets for a passerby.
In the heart of darkness,there was
the fire, a purple flame, ready
to suckle the unborn sun.
the grass breaks the rock.
I pray for the burns.
Satish Verma
To fail is to hit the bottom scale,
Demonstrably show you could derail,
To shamelessly lose your trail
And go ahead to simply wail
And at cheating sky rail
Like one refused a bail:
To tears receive, even tears hail,
Keeping a face awfully pale,
No correspondence no mail;
Your image for helpless sale…
For the failed Male, no female
From the female bared a male…
For one’s crucifixion, concrete nail,
The wind to blow one off, A Gale!
Cockleburs on his chin, cockleburs between his toes
He has been where the dreaded cockleburs grow.
Cockleburs on his head, neck, butt, and his dog tail.
Cockleburs are prickly, stickery, and sometimes hard as a nail.
Why do you go where the cockleburs live?
I try hard to get one off, but it does not want to give.
I end up with thorns in my fingers, and they hurt and one bleeds.
So where is my dog now? Rolling around back in cocklebur weeds.
Retreating into my mind, I find,
Encased like glass, a history of my past, of
Lovers long ago, of bent and broken arrows.
Instant memories envelop me, like a familiar
Quilt, wrapping me into a mummy of guilt,
Unhappiness, pain. . . all feeling remains,
Are stored here, the bones of tears, to
Regret, resurrect, reflect, or entomb. I linger, having
Yet to exhume, the elusive, gold doubloons.

*Won 1st place in "One Off" contest
Three women with umbrellas were waiting for this train.
To get on or for someone to get off? I am yet to know.
I lost track of them after the people disembarked.
Looking for my husband, who would not have an umbrella.
My umbrella was at home, I was not expecting this dreary night.
My man would not be the first one off, closer to the last.
I knew from experience, he avoided the crowds.
My smile was wide when I saw his excited look of recognition.
A One Off Concept
as Tends to happen
casting to be
announced
a institutional concept
emotion exclusivity
concepts of revivalry
quality needs not to be
negotiated
Neglecting the needs of
your consumer base
undermines your effectiveness
pre production is successful
at the post production fade
Brand recognition offers
satisfaction
Production within the bounds of
creation
allows the functioning production machine
to keep the momentum of production
reverberations
in unusual forms
impressions exhibited
of glass wire
steel lead wood
&bread
looking to sea
by a main road
upon a plinth
or mountainside
within a cathdral
beside
transparent
immersive
or in solid grids
tactile
stimulating
to the touch
imagination illumed
by the one off
abstractions
figurations
in iterations
Warm inclinations,
One off conversations,
Unquestioned accusations,
Endless limitations.
Frustrating drama,
Devastating karma,
Countless lies,
Tearful goodbyes.
Hidden treasures,
Forgotten pleasures,
Forbidden temptation,
Lost in translation,
Blind realisation.
Unchartered oceans,
Half cocked notions,
Chance meeting,
Designated seating,
Bank balance depleting.
Emotional prostitution,
Computer revolution,
Positive solutions,
New year resolutions.
an artist poet's expression
of an impression
dead
a silent impression
enlivened
to
an experiential one off happening
when viewed or read
better yet
if as a poem recited
& thus heightened &brought near
in a unique mood moment
reacting
'twixt voice & ear
