Sublime sun casts a umbra
Hanging by a rope...

It’s sure to sell if it’s antique.

very neat, very clean.

To
reek
of blouse 
sweat. Kindle
inanity like
living room fire, mothers in
coarse grain. Steeped in organic growth. Saturday’s swelled yeast....

Devoid of all life
Humans reek of greed and hate
They stick in the knife
Can’t be saved, for its too late
I won’t break under this strife....

An estate agent from the Forest of Dean
Was known to be terribly mean
His clothes they would reek
As he'd worn them all week
But he was doing his bit to be green...

that Every Greek Boy Does Fanny

Was not his joy
Instead he played New Key with Nanny...

For dunking, it may be less than intended

One end of a mule is certain to reek
  Its alternative end whinnies and shrieks
    A mule may let go
    So you'd better know
  Which end will just speak ~ and which spreads its cheeks...

Goober went panning for gold in the creek
 Hot and bothered, needed to take a leak ~
   Goober pulled down his drawers
   His hose produced more and more ~
Cried, "O, my, but doesn't liquid gold reek!"...

I bring her candy and flowers.
I wish this date with her goes well.
My shoes are shined and two showers
make this dude reek of sud's great smell.
Old car is bright with wax like glow.
We will have dinner and see show....

As words begin to rain,
my sleep's in ruin.
my cries reach none,
In my darkest hour,
when I am the only one.
I reek of misery,
as I drown in my melancholic song.
Ineffable is my sadness,
yet I somehow manage a Chaplin's laugh....

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it sink like an anchor at sea?
or reek like a corpse and then rot?
Does it ache like a broken bone? or scab and scar over like a battle wound?
Maybe it just spoils like old milk
or does it expire?...

I wrapped myself in veils of lilac
Beauty hid my flawed skin
Slowly they peeled back my layers 
Revealing my imperfections again
My arms reek of blood
From scratches self-induced
Scars and bruises around my elbow
Show all that that produced...

We shuffle through the gorse tunnel,
Harsh underworld of impaling thorns.
The reek of alcohol is rising from your back 
Like steam that twists entangling my thoughts
With gut twisting clarity and certainty that
This things is upon you, 
this dark thing....

A thorn in the flesh of the green, green grass
Between the line painted straight,
And sometimes bended.

The reek of the starters gun so black
The bulge of the rippling calves, sometimes slack,
As spikes rip through the blades
Of turf so lovingly tended....

I am the vomit
Greed Devoured
But couldn’t keep down
Dogs of desperation
Lick me up
Digest and shit me out

This piece of shit
Undisposed, and exposed
This shit
The only rose
In rows
Of dead
Screaming flowers
Reek of shit
As they decompose....

I reek of trauma and a soiled past, 
my lungs are full of mud 
from when I was buried alive. 
Life was not kind to me,
neither was I; 
I berated myself and took down
my own worth. 
Now I sit among the earthworms 
and the grieving beetles, 
remembering how I was 
before me....

Oh, you dare call me rude,
You are the victim in everything,
You just act,
That is not the truth,
You tell not the fact,

~To Conclude~

You yell, you scream,
having no knowledge of what you speak,
On you just a look of entitled arrogance,
Your strength is to just lie,
You Reek!...
