Premium Member Ode To Elderly Snail Man

Elderly snail man with a wrinkled body and face
You are aging out fast, without delicacy or grace
Your eyes are squinty now as if they are full of mace.
At least the old women in the complex no longer give chase.

Premium Member Mom Morph

Mom shrieks as I tap like Ginger Rogers on the kitchen floor.
The raggedy mop with rigid brows swishes me out the door.
With squinty eyes, the traffic cop regent-points to the yard.
Her majesty, with dish soap hands, wallops my cap, soft not hard.

Happiness Is a Balloon

Expectant,
baby smiles and squinty eyes
raised to the sky, 
waiting for the first glimpse
of varied hues, climbing
contrasting the denim blue.
Release the balloons!
Let them be free, in memory
carried away on a northernly breeze
Happiness emitting from the
radiant faces, pudgy hands
can't quite grasp, cant capture
can't catch me now.

The Warning

It’s funny now
To know the truth
That all you care about is you
Your squinty eyes and sneaky smile
You had a plan all the while

Pretend to care 
Say some words
And then not care
Who you hurt

Cause your plan is #1
All others be damned 
Your having fun

You pile it on 
Cause I can take it
Curse my name 
And try to break me

But evil does
As evil see’s
Wait for my plan
It’s a doozy

Putin Has Squinty Eyes and Not Wise

has small squinty eyes
brutal attacks he applies
never very wise

over a barrel
so Putin should be sterile
life is imperil

from our deduction
Putin wants total destruction
has a compunction

up us story chocks
Putin likes to harm all folks
Sandy Hook was hoax

God made no mistake
look at me who He did make
perfect and complete

Detrimental Train Ride Poem

Drowning in distance
Homesick lips
Chapped and bewildered

Skin pale
Faded by friction
Squinty hands
Hold sunken eyes blinded

Voices echo
Under chewed fingernails
In throbbing vocal cords

ash ingested
leaves feet tapping
rhythms mindless in nature
corresponding
with denim treble
between legs withdrawing

sunrise water
fills my mind’s puzzles
deliberate and violently
melts into my sleep
so i can dream again
