Short Stocked With Poems

grains of dew
forming a softening glaze
falling tediously
from your hairline
freshly stocked 
unabashed stare of longing...

Unfollow then you follow back, 
moving forward just to backtrack; 
Bloated insta inflator
stocked refrigerator, 
you’re back before I grab a snack....

The Path is not too occupied,
That all would struggle and yet fight. 
Let all pick himself his own path,
By that will we get all things right.

A carapace of courage
Lies buried in the hills.
A library of wisdom
Stocked with empty pages,
Erased for all the ages.
A husk of special skills
And verbal vitality
Dad, juggernaut at rest....

Blend of superlative words
       rinsed from all errors,
immersed in stocked emotions,
     spiced up with top tales
    and garnished with twists.
          ~Hot soup bowl~
                  SLURP!

Sun Furnace desiccating.
Man and Beast moving,
In crazed circles of Corral Mirages
Seeking shade.
Moisture-less Sky and Land.
Buzzards, certain of,
Meat Jerky repasts. 
Timing air currents,
Until the Western Buffet
Is finally stocked....

Our
Hostess
Committee,
comprised mostly
of women, makes sure
the kitchen is stocked with
supplies, arranges and serves
meals for major church events and 
bereaved families. Last, we clean up.
We serve cheerfully, for we feel honored.

The cruisers bought all the 
canned food that was for the locals,

The small island stores stocked in three week
segments of time,

The Marquesans waved when the sailors pulled up anchor,
smiling big with their gifts from the brief, fast moving visitors,
new t shirts that said USA...

My heart is locked
with so much pain
black tear drops
fall from my face
every tear drop 
leaves a puddle
with a memory
that's hiding from space
stocked away
behind my soul
shattered to pieces
with no where to go
locked away
to never get out
to see the good side
of my broken heart...

What if I were to lie?
What, if I were lye?
Don't you look at me that way.
Don't you look away!

The blond hairs on your back
I know it's cold.
Where are you going with this?
Wherever you are told.

Dance now, it's a stage.
The machine rotors turn.
The cabinets stocked with capitalism.
My Beautiful Idiosyncrasies....

Saw Farmer Fred sitting beneath his oak tree
He was all smiles and had a face filled with glee
Now this is what he reports to me

Last week I thought myself to be in dire straits
Then Uncle Sam came through with a check
Now my chicken coop is once again fully stocked
My friend it’s like money for nothing and chicks for free...

It's real to behold 
but real hard to forget
how things change
Who ever thought today was our last
But look
It's real so real
The fire is put out
but my heart is ignited 
Stocked here forever
This photograph is all i've got
It's all there is
that survived the flames
I chose it
Yes above all else
I get to see your face
even at world's end

CONTEST: Last Chance....

Green pastures,
O greener then green
With your beaten red farm
Ready to fall 
With your beautiful skies
O skies of wonder and 
adventure
With your pond in the middle
Stocked with the most excellent 
of fish
You were my childhood
O what a perfect childhood
I say goodbye now and forever
As you are being taken away
I will miss you
O how I will miss you...

The stores are stocked with chips and beer
And chicken wings galore
For munching during Super Bowl.
Well, who could ask for more?

I’m not a football fan, but yes,
I’ll watch it for a while
In hopes that a commercial
Will induce a laugh or smile.

Tonight at game time, most TV’s
Will show this football fare
But as to who will win, my guess
Is very few will care....

The door to heaven will never be locked. 
You and I will both have the key. 
Our cupboard will always be heavily stocked. 
All we have to do is pray frequently. 
He will always be there to hear our prayers. 
God will let us walk up the heavenly stairs. 
We must always have our eyes open to see. 
He will let us stay in heaven for an eternity.

Outer space
The imagination game of the 60’s.
Vast adventure, unknown discoveries,
Unblemished planets, unrealized potential

Rocketing, spiraling, swirling, 
Captivating, mystifying, overwhelming the imagination
Taking us to heights we dare to finally dream about,
Outer space

Rocket ship is stocked and ready to go
A five year plan, possibly never returning.
Who is with me?...

punctured passion plucked
gaunt confetti crunched
perforating porous pulps
oozing glitches gulped
cozy contractions cupped
lanky liquid's lust

eerie efforts etched
pompous platter's crest
sucking salient stress

gullible groom grooved
hoisted passion puked
bride trust bruised

meagre honeymoon mocked
sassy strife stocked.

The decisive die is cast
No rule is hard and fast
The Rubicon crossed and more
The Senate and other arms in tow

The Queen bee not to be rocked
Drones in hives,locked
The Emperor not at all shocked
As food reserves, de-stocked

The last Act and scene unfold
The conspirators, the Emperor scold
Daggers drawn; they await their fill 
He gasps "and you, Brutus?" as they seal the kill...

A door with a strong key locked
Is a room outrightly blocked!
So, in which space had folks flocked
When darkest eleven clocked?

Not a door at which one knocked,
For stubborn key one has mocked:
The picture: a room with wares stocked
By one who had a ship docked,
All its windows well-shuttered
For a privacy not shattered…

A door with a strong key locked
Is a double-barreled gun cocked....

Coming together like living magic, breaking liquidity apart
More infused with passion, that never has an end or start
Strongly vibrant with rhythmic silent sounds, that be still a stoutly content beating heart
A misty circumlocution, talking in invisible tongues, struggling to be smart
Oh, how clouds are the skies very own well stocked al a carte
A water color of depth, changing per second, alive work of art...

Black, black
Born black
Head to toe black
Back black, side black, cock black
Every inch black

Midnight without a star,

Black Friday, black Saturday, every day black male

Black out from home
Black in the pen
Ba, ba, black sheep off the streets

Whack, whack stocked against black Jack

Black hair, black beard
Pirate, attack black
Rat-a-tat, payback

Skin shine, melanin design, black Knight 
Black Friday night...

We walked over the rough soil
previously churned by machine,
exposing potatoes to open air.

Mechanized harvesting 
sheds debris
like careless love hands 
whose only aim is gain.

We picked up those potatoes
scattered like rubbish, 
floating on ocean waves.

Peelings pitched as casually
as the unwanted debris of our lives,
left a freezer stocked
for an entire winter.

There's an old cliché,
One man's trash . . ....

Running wild 
Through beds of rocks and stones 
His voice echoes... 'Neath the mountain tops 

Years gone by 
Slimmed thin; his narrow bones 
His arms, still trickling slowly downstream 

Of man-stocked 
No more reproduction 
Like a blood transfusion...the trout swims 

Just like that 
Outliving you and I 
One day, Old Man River...will be gone

now all have to seek
bleak winters... wild food wanting
wrong... what man has done

empathy applied
man instigated the need
mans greed kills wildlife

birdtables well stocked
not a supplement... a need
gone the natural way

for those who knew not
the UK... once forested
stripped for land... war too

man... still no respect
now being taught a lesson
nature making right
