Short Pedestrian Poems

On the way of the flat pedestrian roads
Ants  are traveling uphill and down dales...

their brains, equatorial rainforests 
abilities, tools of a grading tractor 
friends, wild asses of humanity
ideology, thorny bush pedestrian
despite, yellow stars twinkle brightly...

Art is often quite pedestrian,
Lacking jumps to be equestrian.

Saw a road sign, “HEAVY PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC”
Showed an overweight senior with large geographics
Kinda rude I'd say
But me, it did slay
A dude with a sense of humor was surely the culprit...

A Pedestrian Bridge Fell

On people and cars pedestrian bridge fell;
Killing those who we loved  and are swell;
Crumble and crack,
And won't be back;
For them this Sunday we will ring a bell.

I saw the old Death Angel
Walking  ‘cross the street,
Disguised as a pedestrian,
Visage coy and sweet.

I rolled up my window,
‘Didn’t pause to wait—
I drove right past the lady—
“Can’t we have a date…?”
“No time to talk…I’m late…”...

My boss is a caravan of scare
eyes have given it to me daily
He comes to office with smiles
packed in his austere brief case
and generosity in clenched fist 
till late evening when he leaves
Way back he waves his smiles
to every pedestrian he sees...

outside my dark windows 
in sickly yellow streetlights 
I see walkers with small support wheels 
and halting wheelchairs 
fight their way across the pedestrian 

but here 
with only the standby light from the stereo 
I see clearly my crutches dance 
in the hallway...

Isn’t it pedestrian, to get ill
And find a remedy in walking
Walk treats much better than a pill
No one disturbs your silent talking
As in the twilight room gets blurred
Just for a moment it comes clear:
You do remember those old words
But then again, they disappear.

The flames of the fire of our love
may have abated and subsided
but its embers still menacingly glow
and from time to time it's re-ignited
searing through us like lava's hot flow
until by joy fulfilled and delighted
it flickers, returning, mellowing slow,
into its normal pedestrian groove....

Birth of A Poem

What can be done with these pedestrian morsels?
I have tasted unformed clay before.

Phrases plead to be thrown into
the redeeming realm of manifestation.

Pushing to be metaphoric,
they will arise and come to me.

From some unplumbed soliloquy.

We drive on the left
park in the driveway
and walk on the pavement
over here in the good old U.K.
They drive on the right
and on the parkway
also the pavement
over there in the U.S. of A.
It could be confusing to motorist
and pedestrian alike,
so where should we go
when riding a bike?

Walkers crisps should be forced to comply
With trade description legislation
And stop disappointing their customers
With their artificial flavourization

When purchasing a bag of Walkers crisps
The refined palate of an epicurean
Would be gravely disappointed if they did not
Taste of Rambler, Hiker or Pedestrian...

Dream on, dream off,
set the world on fire just to put it out,
climb your mountain today to fall back down tomorrow.
Dream on, dream off,
from in front of a bull to behind a desk,
from a driver’s seat to a pit-stop pedestrian.
Dream on, dream off,
the lightbulb fades all too easily,
to become the moth to the bigger flame....

Everyone is born a pedestrian
progresses as a big fleshy toad
lives as an edible sweet cookie
ends life as broken wheelbarrow

Dear human, be not proud then
Invincible power is puppeteer
every human is a comedy puppet
living in theater of broken promises

Let your eyes see your back
surely you discover who you are...

I see you little flower
Bright and quick 
Spiralling in your own
Desiccated gown
Of earth and dust
Sadness grows 
In the crack of broken
Concrete
Calling to 
My pedestrian
Tendencies 
Careful
Once 
Meted out 
I will 
Trample around your 
Petaled face
As I lumber through 
The 
The streets
In the 
Cold light of morning...

Here is something I can see with my own eyes:
Prices of petrol are back on the rise.
If we go to the pumps to buy gasoline,
we can expect to fork over a little more green.
Demand is going up and supply is headed down.
That's the same situation in almost every town.
I don't own a car, and I don't care.
As a pedestrian, I can go anywhere.

You say you're no prince of mine,
but what else could you be?

A hitchhiker in my heart,
a pedestrian in my mind?

Is that you under the harsh sun,
holding a holey parasol?

Maybe you're fleeing
the crime scene 
of your heartbreaking.

But you see,
none of that makes 
any sense to me.

So I wait here,
for you to appear 
on a cream-colored horse.

A love poem

Words will not come

Brown eyes, blue eyes, I don't know
what does the thesaurus say?

Lovely, beautiful, my dear, pedestrian
words said too often

I find some rare words, but I'm a plain man
these words are so over the top
so refined they sound like irony

Tomorrow morning, I will bring you tea tea
saves me looking up words for love
