Short Solder Poems

The solder was pointed the wrong way
falling scrap metal through the Scrapyard's chute
"Please, be loved," it said,
"this automaton has nothing left for itself,"
resonating equally 'warm'....

Western wars brought to foreign fields
Bullet barrages blocked by grim guillotines
Petulant petrol fans the flickering flames
Courageous captains solder soldiers together
Teething tigers ripped from mad mothers to 
Carry demented decisions from bribed bullies
All hail the casket caravans of yesterday's youth...

Resting on-solder John AN EPITAPH

So dies this wayward soldier laid at rest
Battled on raging strong
At skies night he fellowships
Now with those others veterans of other wars
His body now at peace
As God has him now on His golden streets
Resting on-soldier John

Even, even, even,
Odd, odd, odd,
Odd, even, odd, and even odder.
Solve the riddle and give me a call.
We’ll forge ourselves a spiritual connection.
Whatever we can’t weld, we’ll solder.
If you can see the key to it all.
Even, even, even,
Odd, odd, odd,
Odd, even, odd, and even odder.

Who Am I ?
I am many. I come from the rich and the poorest of families.
I sleep in mud ,the rain and snow. I eat when I can and where I can.
I only carry a rifle to protect those I am asked to. I ask nothing in return.
I do so because I am proud to love  my country. For what it stands for.
I am an American solder and I will die for you....

The Plumber

By Elton Camp

When the pipes under sink began to leak,
Help of Big Bubba’s Plumbing I did seek
Bubba promised he’d be there right away
And he showed up later that very same day

He said, “Big Bubba is here your pipes to fix.
I brought the tools to help me do the tricks.”
Wrenches, pliers, solder—nothing did he lack
But, so sad to say, he also had plumber’s crack...

I'm a solder in this tough world,
trying to deal with all of the problems in one hurl, 
yet patience is a virtue that doesn't come with todays culture and is over looked,
one day I hope the hypocrisy of society will finally be over and be nothing more than a page in a history book,
the power mongers will grow sober,
and the middle class will only prosper,
when the infringement of rights happens no longer....

Papilloma’s daughter
Whale droppings
Frantic knocking
Eutectic solder
Anal eyes
Flabby thighs
Don’t bother

Purple ink
Sugar water
Melon slice
Sticky rice
Bubbly juice
Fruit tree
Pretty feet
Bustin loose
Air guitar
Morning star
Spruce goose
Genius type
No hype
Sweet night...

Memories are being snipped like flowers.
Putting together shades that scent like oil.
Melt almost like yolks pleading on towers.
The work depicts the many threads of hours.
The solder between brushstrokes and bowers 
Fear behind the helmet till its touch spoil
Memories are being snipped like flowers.
Putting together shades that scent like oil.

Do you know
You were my shelter,
Do you know 
You have been my pride

When we had
Nothing to solder,
When it was
Long before I cried.

I felt your work 
As a good father
Making us 
Fine and satisfied

As “daughter”
My job was harder
You went far
While I had to hide.

Now my dear
Don’t treat me tougher
Don’t hit me
With your blaming side

I know you,
Perfect lover;
To myself
Have I ever lied?

I Desire to be noble
and true
To be faithful in all I do
Even on days when 
it seems cloudy and blue
I desire to reach
those near and far
to be a solder, to spread
the Good News wherever
I can but what I desire
so, many times seems
so, out of reach but in my 
strength I can do nothing
but what's impossible for me
in God's hands it becomes 
 the possible and through him,
 I begin to see the unimaginable...

Had courage been concealed that night
When I could but yield at the sight
Of your tender eyes and lovely lips
That pushed me miles along waves in ships…

Had courage failed to keep its way
When despite my fear I heard you say
A few words to comfort me
That I then thought would set me free…

Does courage melt as it did then?
With the warmth of your touch behind the curtain,
You clove after coming closer
Keeping tears and a heart to solder…

Why still talk about a Late Mother
No more around with her useful order
And an unhelpful, unfeeling brother
Stretching The Emptiness Farther?

Hard-to-Reclaim time you murder
And A Deprivation take farther
With childish fixation on A Mother,
When a million things would man bother;
The one swift to replace another …

A past not dropped shuts a border
And makes one to not two wires solder …

Then, one should the past leave behind
Or in snatches bring them to mind....

A broken vase
is mendable
with a bit of glue.

Silver solder
repairs a rip in metal.

New parts often
keep the car running.

A doctor plasters
a broken bone.

New shingles replace
a worn-out roof.

Road crews pour asphalt
into dangerous pot holes.

Planks of wood
restore barn doors.

No substance on earth
can mend a broken heart.

Time is the only cure;
 healing is slower than molasses.

Sometimes, grief-gouged wounds
leave shadows
reaching into eternity....
