Eagle
majestic bird
ponderous predator
clumsy flyer, adroit hunter
strong symbol of imperial power
high, inaccessible aerie
monogamous mating
staid homebody
Eagle
He swept his ponderous hand up to his mouth,
Told me he’d not talk to at all me in the future,
And the radio failed instantly like a damp cloth,
As I’d fixed it so it was mine to sort my posture.
Too ponderous of a weight
To carry on one's shoulders
Slowly metastasizing
Cancer on one's soul

Teardrops, slight smiles, sweet delicacies
Mind frailty, zeal dreams, ponderous notions
Ocean tide, rebellious nights, in the jaws of death
Verge of tears, end of a sentence, semicolon
Calamity, piercing fear, call it a night
Alas, there'll be no goodies for Billy this year due to a bit of bad luck;
Due to Santa's ponderous butt, sliding down the chimney he got stuck!

Rodin's Thinker thinks unthinkable thoughts
Ponderous, pensive and profound perhaps
But can he move his butt and
DO SOMETHING?
I guess not.
Forever damned to sit and
think through unactionable useless thoughts
of impotence - stone-frozen forever!
Fortified ponderous wandering soul
Reaching for the stars above
Blessed and beautiful barely whole
Gods wayward plan to send me love
Oblivious and cast away
Undaunted meanderings hit a wall
Sun rises moon fades away
Hungry my soul stands astutely tall
His ponderous stature often mistaken for apathy
he patiently bore the feeble lash upon his thick hide,
plodding in the peaceful gait of his pachyderm ancestry.
Tongue Twister Line: Patiently the ponderous pachyderm plodded in peaceful apathy.

Into Clyde's Bar sauntered a sot named Stutz,
Sporting one of the most ponderous gutz!
Placing his gut on the bar,
He roared a hardy, "Har! Har!"
Saying, "Fill 'er up with cold beer and nutz!"

In a dither for a dollar
Monies are being squandered
The pox is upon us
Taxes are ponderous
Stuffed shirts are foolish
Peace yet eluded us
The world gets Denuded.
We're living in the space age
Can't eliminate war and hate.
These hard truths we face
We are a better human race.
Are'nt We.?
My chest holds a cold and heavy load
Suddenly ponderous and dense
Once my chest was warm alive and breathing
Now I feel weighty angry words flying
A daily rage unrequited in home and close
But I say quite honestly
Though I feel heavy and lost
My heart is still seeking a gentle peace
My life moving to transpose
Better to compose than to write the song of life -
but I am no musician.
It would have three movements.
The first: an ever-accelerating dance of experimental rhythms.
The second: a collapse of harmony and speed into ponderous, broken chords.
The third: a controlled melody that breathes acceptance and cautious hope.
Forward, grasping for my steady step.
Now speaking the tongue of poetic mimes..
Awaken now, so long I have slept.
Sunny phrases with shady relief.
Tugging upon honeysuckle vines.
Hoping verse may flow beyond belief.
Let phrase roll into a craft all alone.
Poignant juxtiposition now shines.
Ponderous balloons can float a heavy stone..
The abbess
Blue-eyed prayers drip from
lips white as snow on a mountain top
her face is oriental alabaster.
Restless feet on stone floors
Every candle becomes a temptation
a magnetic attraction.
Over the wall, she will not flee
Faithful as she is to her abstract lover.
When desires leave her
and her steps are ponderous
she is the new abbess.
CHRISTMAS EVE
riding the wind
a thousand christmas bells
swirl city corners
custom country steeples
ring round my splintery old pew
in a ponderous quiet
on this hallowed eve
i’m forgetting the dreary
remembering those hundred candles
mother singing oh holy night
christmas eve
no snow
torrents of rain
santa comes round
in a pontoon plane

Tuesday afternoon sags
Under the weight of my
Uncertainty
Sagging slow and ponderous
No sage wisdom here
Frozen in brittle golden amber
Glass
Fossilized bug
Tuesday afternoon thoughts
Tumbling, tumultuous
Caught slow and
Stuck tight
In a sealed glass bottle
With a cork?
Counterfeit smiles
Insipid hellos
Crossing paths
Destination known
Nobody has names
Just competing clothes
Glaring past glances
A forlorn flow
Stumbling off sidewalk
Onto crumbling street
Yet another sidewalk
Heads without feet
Lost to crowds
Blanched in between
Ponderous pedestrians
Rising steam
Tethered tomorrows
Skyscraper seams
Falling faces
Concrete dreams
To be or not to be
To react or not react
Such profound ponderous facts
Weary my brain
Under this invincible dance.
See me, trample me, indeed
Nothing more than your
Feel good stumble trample door matt
Too many many years
On me-you have sat
And let I, you get fat
Fat with slack complacent Jack
Yes, Jack ass shame on me
Once again two much sass
Now its me the she jack ass.

They stand in the shadows
not a dozen yards away.
They listen to the wind whispering unseen,
in the dept of trees.
They hear the somber sound
of our war song,
in the dim hills in the distance.
They crouch low
in the ponderous blackness,
of a cold solemn night.
A night that`s as cold as charity.
A night that will not bear
with reason.
The night we sadly leave home to fight.
The maples blushed attempting to outshine
the flamboyant forsythias.
Willows wept strands of puce pollen.
The air lay damp, ponderous, pregnant
with the promise of peonies.
The mulched ground was pierce with spears of hyacinths;
crowned with dancing daffodils
and fragrant hyacinth.
The sweet ripe smell of manure meandered
through the freshly turned soil;
steaming in the morning mist.
These empty cries that Echo into nothingness shout back empty thought,
these words that flow with sweet sorrow through a gentle breeze I caught,
now clenched tight in my hand I hold the sorrow of someone's loss,
I grow ponderous under these emotions,so back into the breeze I toss.
My knees now in the dirt I look to the sky and scream "why"!
for feeling this strangers sadness,I can only cry.
Oh beauty
Oh delight
Oh gorgeous want for life
Absence of a wonder such as you, would surely cause me strife
When night doth fall again on blackened soul,
Till ponderous questions rise
A Vision of your remedy, is but a work of felony
Ones life is not that liveable
Until one hears those syllables,
Oh beauty
Oh delight
Oh gorgeous want for life
Absence of a wonder such as you, would surely
Cause me strife.
The shrieking sun
& ponderous waters
The cerulean skies
& infinite stars
The radiant flowers
With silver lined petals
All these things,
Among many,
Are things that amaze me
But beneath the
Shrieking sun
Ponderous waters
Cerulean skies
Infinite stars
& radiant flowers,
Lies sadness
Subtle sadness
Such beautiful things
Can hide sadness
That is why I am afraid
Of the things that amaze me
-m.b.
One of these day, I will
Retrieve what is lost and
Plunge into those dark
Crevasse, that is my gut.
One of these days, I will
Surrender the ponderous
Weight on my shoulder,
That doesn't let me move.
One of these days, I will
Load a gun from the past
And infiltrate my mind of
The memories, to forget.
One of these days, I will
Set fire to the tiny heart
You left behind and make
You fall in love over again.
