Short Red Neck Poems

Listen to poem:

Voracious blood suckers
Vespertilian beasts
Vermilion eyes, white fangs
Velvet cloak, black en-wrapped
Vigilant for dawn's break
Voraciously gorging
Vivid red neck vein blood...

Yes, indeed. Alright. I'm lily-white
    all 9+ feet of me, a tricolor sight

  But now I'm 'racist' and 'insensitive'

MAGA America Blues 

A down-home town red-neck cracker,
 Wearing black -kicking shoes, 
Packing heat

and smoking a cigarette

Assorted junk everywhere
Our lovers long gone
And so their western song
The Moon?
Oh    just the same
Lingers on
City fumes too
Red neck rendezvous...

Reaching, he uncurls a bounding jaguar
awake to the moon’s abracadabra
