Short Stockpile Poems

Stockpile toilet paper if you dare
All kinds of tariff talk is in the air
World Health Organization is in the dust
Praying for the USA is now a must...

didn't seem to

still end up 
with the same

of the mind

a range of 
tricks used 
as a reserve 
for when things 
go a stray in order 
to keep composure

jugernaut of the masses
call forth the minions
stockpile the odes
and breathe no more
hold into account all I have
pillage not unto my weakness
scoff not part now
plow the ground
and support the groves
of my shortcomings...

First to the moon
     first to Mars
   We use AI
     to drive our cars

   Carbon-free emissions
     stockpile of munitions
   Our nation's a superpower
     the world, ours to devour

   Before we strike
     here's what we're like ~
   Execrable, ruthless
     wicked, truthless...

Two million soles collected
One million souls lost
Can humanity recover,
From the holocaust?

This stockpile of shoes
Is a reminder and clue
That what happened to them
Could happen to you.

Auschwitz reminds us
Of man’s inhumanity to man
If we can forget
It can happen again.

Wear a smile well,
Indulge fond cheer;
See that joy tells,
Extract all fear.
Intent now sparks,
New ideas come;
Deed ushers mark,
Urge flings bold sums;
Live in that light,
Give heart sure poise;
Expand fond sights,
Niche a firm voice;
Charm weaves a style,
Explore stockpile.

When you quit
I will grab your smoky voice 
and embrace the cyanosis.

It was not brain insult.
The blues under the eyes 
were unintentional.

Molestation was not the choice.
Your marbled face 
becomes cold and hard.

The frozen lake.
Bring the music to break
the ice. The black sun.

Unleash the stockpile
of tears. The life has taken
an ominous turn.

I looked back, all smiles,
At my perils trailing miles,
‘Too early, dear mate’,
They said, ‘you had better wait,
We have a stockpile of wiles.’

Poet’s note: Thank perils that life feels alive. They provide life with vim, vigour, and drive. Upon triumphing over a few perils, never mock at them. This Tanka has a rhyme scheme of a limerick....

Your warm yellow radiant rays fan out 
Following the wedded sun touching smile. 
Through the dense tangle of vines and leaves sprout. 
Your  warm  yellow  radiant  rays  fan  out 
And bends down in sadness during night stout. 
From your heart as dawn break your seeds stockpile. 
Your  warm  yellow  radiant  rays  fan  out 
Following the wedded sun touching smile.

Repeating Themes

I guess maybe I am tired
of repeating the same themes.
But I must, if I’m ever
going to overcome them.

My patience is not there.
In my mind, the more often
that I go through something
the faster I have to overcome
it the next time around.

This time though, I’m sick to
my stomach at what it will take
to overcome this theme, or
rather this stockpile of themes 
that have accumulated over time....

Listen to poem:

Cool Master Lil' Miss

Shiloh's art-filled hoodie argyle,
warmly snugs young miss, save Charlie,
he rallies firm, quick briefs the term,
timely step shifts the sundial,
gray culls while golden spears briefly,
while life roams its normal lifestyle,
e'er discerning events may change,
as felled leaves crowd in a stockpile,
squashing in passing was gnarly,
quick briefs the term, he rallies firm,
her hand in his made all worthwhile.
