Short Scrambles Poems

Bushed
scrambles
straddles the
belled flower strands
for a treacherous hold camera pose

Eating three eggs a day cracks me up
It scrambles my brain, like Benedict's butt
If egg foo young
Then over-easy my son
That's it eggactly, we should omelet it or cluck...

Hearts irradiated gasp
Neutrons scatter at the clasp
Architecture crumbles heaven
Kremlin scrambles level seven
Xeric tissue lacks retention
RNs wilting for Roentgen...

Those seconds tumble
as your lids reveal your eyes
as light like a sweet fuelled child
hurriedly entering a park
scrambles to touch
hues beauty
and infinity has no time
aching for something i have never known...

That sway as she turns
her hips resonate with an unquenchable wrench
Her hazel eyes were light lingers
refusing to depart in deepest dark
A gossamer arch of alabaster skin
as heels dig for completion
In the dark she scrambles for my lips
to bring my final death
as her mouth exhumes
my lust...

Under cover of darkness
two glowing eyes in awareness 
of all its cruel foes 
that appears where ever it goes.
An untuned carniverous orchestra sings
funerary songs as Death stings,
suddently, many glowin' eyes scrambles in the shadows 
like consternated desperados,
yet an unlucky prey
met its doomsday!...

Foxes ruffle feathers
 
Blame bunny for raid on hen house.

Bunny claims “Easter” privilege.

Rainbow coalition boycotts eggs.

Media scrambles to cover story.

Free range chickens running amok.

Roosters union demands investigation.

Search party to assemble at daybreak.

Sadness scrambles to survive
and tears become termites

Self reliant moles taint speechless lips 
and form explanations yet to ripen

Tears that reject wiping 
smear pride's respiratory system
leaving heart beat unpuffed

Humility is Reality

What makes sense
is not always understood...
And weeping ensues....

My translation of calligraphy by Ven. Master Chin Kung:

Face difficulty with liberality,  
Face hostility with patience, 
Steer through scrambles 
With leisurely grace and pace, 
For peace is found in temperance 
And the love of excess speech
Is the root of every calamity!

This merciless tyrant,
Tormentor of souls
Chooses trusting young
Leslie as prey

He scrambles her thoughts
And darkens her moods
Each dawn brings
The same stormy day.

Alone and adrift
On an ocean so vast
She’s as lonely
And lost as can be

But on the distant horizon
Gleams a gold, welcoming shore
That no one but Leslie can see....

A sage plant scrambles for the
mob, walking out of bed
and begs for a death.

The adolescence had become
graphic. Do you agree with the
splurge of moonlight under the street light ?

The unborn stink was hovering
after the shipwreck. The seagulls
were bewildered.

There was only one slogan
for the black booth.
Priest was sitting cross-legged in a liplock.

Solidarity songs echoing
Trampling in the forest
Birds up in the air
Escaping from frightening roars
Rhythmic terror all around
Drenching the day in horror
The masses pursuit
Way-laying none but the bosses
Deserted the purchased scrambles
Though untouched they got away
The powerful lashes of the masses' tongues
Keeps hitting their minds

Calming journey present travels
Daunting highways of dirt and gravels

Firebombing  businesses and homes unravels
Housewarming rebuilding from grounds battles

~

Coming into life Victorian castles
Crawling toward the scrambles,

Daunting  hoards of freemen  shackles
Calming are the finish structures panels

A chipmunk chases another, 
who somehow vice-versas the first,
One chipmunk pops out of a hole,
and hops across the lawn,
and stops upon the wall,
and rests upon its haunches, 
to chew up a maple seed,
One jumps up a rohodendron’s wiry arms,
and scrambles to get lost among the leaves,
Piercing with a peep somewhere deeper in the woods,
Does The Tall look down at a fighting-to-rat-race us like it's cute little chippering play?...

Salinder’s Mammoth

an 11 year old 
Russian boy
finds the mammoth
carcass which 
scientists claim at
early analysis to be
almost complete &
30,000 years old.

“6 feet 6 inches tall &
1,100 pounds it had
been at 16 years” &
upon reading this 
a frantic believer in the
faulty organized 
fictions of the world
scrambles through their
little special book,
desperately trying to
find a loophole 
in which they can stuff
this creature so that
for them, it will all 
still make 
sense....

Bombs fall and 
schrapnel
sprays my 
burdened back
and lifting my head
I catch glimpse
of safety 
I could crawl 
into your eyes
to rest my head
I run to
your silk voice
my bunker
of reprieve
soft safety
in your touch
as the world 
is at war and 
I hide quiet
strong chest above
me guarding my 
my honor
while maliced
bullets shed
angry blood 
we stay 
hidden as the 
enemy scrambles
chasing it's tail
knawing on 
it's misery 
our souls safe
untouchable...

The music stopped
A screeching halt
My heart dropped
The fight was fought

The race was ran
The story, told
Like wind and sand
I couldn’t hold

Nothing looked
Or felt the same
Insides shook
Fluids drained

Stripped of color
Color blind
Vain valor
Left behind 

Mangled heart
Life in shambles
Tragic art
Poet scrambles

In search of words
Hard to find
Quickly dispersed
This fatal time

The lights are low
Silence thick
My muse won’t glow
Abandoned wick...
