Out Front

OUT FRONT
She’s an athlete in beautiful shape
With a figure that makes people gape
And success she’ll attain 
Her advantage is plain
When it comes to breasting the tape

Premium Member The Old Truck

A special place was made for the old red Mack
Right out front of the house with its shiny stack
It earned this space
It paid for this place
Forty years from Ohio to the east and back

Verse Out Front

New blood will flow
  and breath exhale
   —as my steps go far and wide

With verse out front
  to lead the way
   —to that promised other side

The Tree At the Mall

The tree at the mall is right out front.
3 feet in; 4 feet out.
Been shortened for powerlines
and sparsened for rapists'.
It's branches cut back
where it's taxes placed it.
The tree at the mall is right out front.

Yesterday

An old lady in my apartment building died yesterday
 The Salvation Army truck was out front 
 Her worldly possessions stacked high
 Strangers will soon find them a new home
 as the cycle of life and death perpetuates
 and mutates together as one

Be Quiet

Silence
in the clank of the button
on my blue jeans
tumbling in the dryer

Silence
in the ceaseless yapping
of the dog locked outside
next door

Silence
in the booming stereo
from the truck parked
out front

Deafening cacophony
in the silence
from you

Sudbury Children

Poem about Sudbury, Ontario, Canada


The bush out back
where children play.
some trees, some rocks.
A love to say.

The house out front.
It's porch cement.
The dog tied up.
His dropping pent.

Your parents home
where light is warm.
You come in late,
despite alarm.

Premium Member Green Aura

With a green aura That surrounds this house of old Sits a spooky feel Lamppost out front casts shadows Working eeriness about A lone light is lit By candle in upstairs room Visible on street Helps create the dim green glow That permeates all around

Joy Out Front

No matter how great the versing
  writing always lacks the note

That music plants inside our souls
  words by their nature rote

Its melody takes you skyward
  all reason left behind

Pure joy out front to then surround
  —what substitutes as mind

Mask Head

Monotone some would say
black and white this is true
but not like simple nothing new
sitting comfortably on the couch
a look of intensity
seriousness
as if almost reaching bliss
paws out front 
haunches bent
tail forthright between two back legs
he slouches
upon his head he wears a mask
like a bandit
as he is named

Flame Master

Race
Car named
Flame
Master
Devil be dammed
Take all
Wins 
First place

No tail spins
Straight run inside
way out front
Tail gates
Again
inside 
gain ahead
Wins first

Orange
Hot!

A Unusual Place

Where the ground meets the sky
And I’m looking at a place
Filled with palm trees an
Every house is blue in color
With a variety of large
Butterflies attached
Out front there’s a light
Blue brick road, that
Looks like glass and it
Shines so brightly
Underneath, is the ocean
You can look down and
See the marine life
Swimming around

Estate Sale

This house of things, with all the people gone.
A mother’s tea set and a daughter’s shoe.
Out front the crabgrass wrestles with a lawn.
This house of things with all the people gone
imagines mildew, dust against the dawn.
See how mold and dryrot whisper to undo
this house of things with all the people gone.
A mother’s tea set and a daughter’s shoe.

Nobody Told Me!!

Yep.....No one dun told me...
About that puddle out front....
No body bothered to warn me..
The truth I'd have to hunt...
I stepped in the middle,
Expecting, of water, just a little....
Of concern, a mere piddle....
Suddenly hit by this natural riddle....
HOW COULD THAT PUDDLE,
BE 16 FEET DEEP?
I'll pass my life being befuddled...
Even when I sleep!

The One I Know The Best

Spinning around,
Jumping rope, 
Something found,
Gave wonder and hope.

Homework to do,
Grades to earn,
Squabbles brew,
Moody concern.

Research to keep,
Always on the go,
Lack of sleep,
Prideful show.

Life still a mess,
Why am I fat?!
Work in progress,
More than one cat.

Rocking chair,
Sitting out front,
Knowing stare,
Memories confront.

'What A Wonderful World'

Louis Armstrong …
a class by himself
Not Dixie or Jazz
but much deeper felt

Growing better with age
his music enthralls
If fourteen or forty
his melodies call

Both Ella and Ray
are seated out front
As Satchmo delivers
when others exeunt

Timelessly treasured
he’d broken the mold
Of what sound can measure
—and a smile can hold

Calling Us Home

With only twelve keys
the music commands
Some white and some black
their harmony grand 

Scoring the melody
eternal and free
Whether Quincy or Frank,
Prince, Peggy, or me

Heaven the audience
 Angels out front
Truth for a drummer
Sandalphon conducts

All time in abeyance
the chorus in song
Both gates swinging open
—the silence is gone

Premium Member Requiem For A Country Church


A “For Sale” sign
stands out front
where once a parish
notice board stood
for a hundred years.
Inside, the pews are gone.
A stark, stripped back space
echoes an absence
occupied now by only wisps 
of dust drifting through a shaft 
of sunlight, a buzzing blowfly
and a spiders web spun
across a window 
as if strung to snare
the frayed wings
of the last 
escaping prayer.

Premium Member Tortoise and Haradactyl

Rabbit brags
crazily;
Tortoise plods
lazily.

Rabbit gets
sleepy, see.
Tortoise wins
Easily.

Work ethic
is lacking;
Rabbit gets
shellacking.

Relentless,
forward, there.
T’s out front
by a hare.

Nonfiction
or fable?
Decide if
you’re able.

----------

Using more dactyls seems a good match for the form...

Watching From a Distance

I’m watching from a distance
As my mom loses her mind
My feet cemented to the ground,
I won’t get there in time. 
Her piercing screams and cries
Reverberate in my brain,
I fear she will hurt herself
To alleviate her pain.
I see her struggle to stand
And she spits at any help,
But when she falls down again
She blames the cards she was dealt.
I reach my arms out front
Grabbing at the air,
I just wish I could reach my mom
And tell her that I’m there.
