Short Scud Poems

Sails full
Nor'easter blows
Tides pull

Clouds scud
Raindrops spatter
Makes mud

Sails rip
Could this be the
Last trip

winter's afternoon
                                              
                                              negligee nimbostratus 

                                              scud by cumulus...

wild stream crash hard rocks
white clouds scud in sunny yolk-
hills splashed in flowers

It seems that even-tempered Ralphie Parker,

   Had a side to him that was somewhat darker.

      Ralphie lost his cool with his mortal protagonist,

         And bloodied the beak of Farkus his antagonist!

Everybody assumes

you like dogs

especially their dog

sprung from its tether

breaking for you

this morning

all a-scud over the gravel

propelled by yeasty, toothy

gushing grins

	homing in on you	  over there
	
	fossilized, frozen by 

	by the dumpster’s     Gape,

	one less

	cat person

the world won’t miss....

They'll check my wrist
They'll look me in the eyes
I'll throw in a twist
They won't check my thighs

It'll be easier to cover
My dirty little secret

So easily hidden
No one will ever know
I've done the forbidden

I don't need a jacket
I wear pants everyday

When they see the blood
I'll blame it on my time
The blood will scud
My scars will be sublime...

Serotinal days, pouring rain eased drought
Some were blessed with right amount, others flood
While some enjoy late summer garden sprout
Some work to throw out piles of rotting crud
Summer rain upon forest fire, drowns out
Summer rain on saturated ground scud
Blessings of showers or torture from storm
We know God yet does miracles perform  ...

The wind is up and roaring.
Thrashing tree's fling Autumn away.

Clouds scud like ghost ships
and we struggle to keep steady
on backyard decking's.

Most heads are down
as we walk alone leaf-blown.

Some miss the late sun,
most breathe deeper
the cooler air mussing hair
as lungs billow like sails.

Color and gray vie,
they battle in the sky
and who or what will win
is up for gusty grabs....

A thrown sky pushes and scatters.
Small birds fall from their songs.
Sticks fly up invisible chimneys.

A strong wind has come from the north,
it unearths the stringy and un-mulched.
Fusty heaps scud, makeshift mouths gawp.

Whoever has a quiet lamp,
Let them take shelter 
from the helter-skelter,
for the graveyard owls are loose,
their feathers ruffled
they fly as loud 
as the clouting forest....

Upon the slow-flowing river,
Suddenly swans 
Scud quickly away.

From round the bend I gracefully glide,
I am the queen of them all.

And quickly my king arrives.

The dance of love begins.
We bob our heads, wings quivering,
Necks entwined.
Unruffled snow-white plumage.

In time my eggs are hatched, 
Cygnets are so cute.
How quickly they grow.
Now we are a royal family
Suddenly swans....

Love blasted a hole in the wall
                               All heads twirled mayhem in the mall
                                               Sound of thud

                                 We two seized the money and  ran
                                     The street we got into a van
                                             Dark clouds scud

Listen to poem:

The virtuality of the moment is like...
Hmmmm
You my mysterious online coquette!
The celebration of all festivities,
unlike any banquet,
I knock, you butt-in
Voila!
Pearl on the shore,
And your belly butt-on
As Heidegger's Dasein
Being-there
I swear
I step before you with nothing to hide
I let my eyes glide
As a spiral,
A whirlpool of desire,
A scud,
In peace and in blood.
I crave to be the wave
On a day, and in the moment
I feel I myself am....
