A Beguiling Life

From 
my 
kismet
this time, I
will ask boldly, a
different kind of life to live...
Full of adventures, romance of beguiling nature;
but not again, a mundane, normal, humdrum and a run-of-the-mill life anymore.

I Met a Deer

I met a deer
I met a deer a big brown deer.
We met in the dark. 
Not as friends just a run of the mill meeting.
I had to stop but it was too late 
The meeting was over and the deer was dead.
I guess a car at 65 would not make a good friend of a deer.
So stay out of my way. I like deer meat.

UNIFORMITY
a
romantic
   wondering
in enchanted
 impressions
such
 remote sounding such
breath
an unmissable
sight
resisting
  translation
this
curious feeling
 absorbed
 painstakingly
in
matching
run of the mill
 fictions
with
a
startling
 alternate
as
 singular
abstracts
 of
stillness
in a setting
 of the ordinary

My Monster Is Dumb!

all the other kids
had the standard monster fare...
lurking in the closet,
hiding under the bed...
my luck, I got a monster
with ADLD...
yeah..attention deficit learning disorder
da_m dumb monster
hidin' in my desk drawer!!
don't he see it's got a lock
he'll never get to me
tonight I'll pray again
I get a regular monster
even run of the mill...
this dummy...
he's over the hill!

The Pitch

Want someone who’s good?
Can help your company make sale?
I could sell milk to a cow,
and for free I’d chuck in the pail.

I can make a pigeon buy scraps,
a snake part money for venom;
I am the silver-tongued cheque with a grin
who persuaded jeans to shop for denim.

So, you need some success?
Change that red line to black?
A leopard would order spots from me,
I’m not a run of the mill old hack.

StAnD StIlL

Trying to get back up that hill
But with little or no progress
The same old run of the mill
My emotioal state is a mess

But is their any such magic pill
Perhaps just thinking alot less
Again seems l am back at nill
In need of a complete recess

Have l come to a stand still
Well perhaps,maybe er yes
But at times a loss of will
You know what l diagress



Again excerts from poem a state of confusion

Freudian Field Day

A mental mind freak,
Or just your every day,
Run of the mill nut bar,
If you prefer.
Eloquently presented,
But not really.
Unless bat crap crazy
Dressed up as a pretty girl,
Is your cup of tea.
Making friends with the blade too much,
Making enemies with food even more.
Puff puff,
And there’s a pretty little smoke ring
From one of many chain smoked cigarettes.
Crazy you say?
Nope, most certainly not.
I’m just a bloody field day
For every one of those Freud wannabes.
