Short Plebian Poems

It’s not that your interest in me seems disingenuous
But why me?
I am common
Average
Plebian 

Are you a biographer of the plain?
The simple?
The unknown?

Okay then....

Curious cats and plebian pirates do not mix well.
When white skull and crossbones are flying lopsided.
Derelict dogs and wily witches try casting a spell.
My imagination is being ridiculously overexcited. 

My muse is throwing in damsels, dragons and robins gray
Along with Christmas tree ants and squirrels that play 
I hear her deep heartfelt languishing sighs of dismay 
As she tries to control me yet again today....

Minimum wage

The olive trees in the landscape
near the village,
Have working-class trunks
and no illusion
Of becoming middle-class trees.
They refuse to grow 
in a plant- nursery and be tampered with
by botanists.
They do not envy tall palm trees.
Good luck to those who see the world 
through an elevated height.
Good soil and water the plebian olive tree wants
it has deep roots and will not fall
in a storm....

Plebian Bedrock

Honorably mentioned, a talent search.
Perception stifled, from a righteous church.

Disregarded tidings from the far right.
Reckoning the left in the cloaked night.

Will ideology get its respect?
How can middle ground be beyond suspect?

Legitimately justified they point.
Can odd or even simply hide the joint?

Atonement will merge the enlisted group.
Plebian bedrock, right here on the soup.

powerful piece de resistance
precise, provocative, posturing 
providing plebian pleasure

Statuesque as an Amazon woman,
Platinum or pewter? She perseveres 
Prodigious? Preternatural and pivotal

Regal, brilliant, a spiritualistic luster
She sparkles with pure effervescence,
glistens with a gloriousness unknown by most

I follow her pooling petticoat into the 
outer limits of my poetic imagination, 
expecting nothing less than perfection....
