When I saw him enter,
an illiterate, I surmised
(one you may despise)
But he spoke some words
about the drug he wanted…
He changed my mind.
Pharm argued no further.
We learnt a lesson.

Want a ride in my jalopy asked Uncle Lou
That depends said Shelly. Is a jalopy an athletic shoe?
Where would you get that idea? Her uncle asked, surprised.
It sounds like something you would wear on a foot; she surmised.

Your my Doppleganger he surmised
Did he have it right?
Not so sure I said out loud
I just loved you at first sight
His evil grin appeared wider
Don't fall in love with me
For I'm friends with the dark side
And I will take you there with me!

Circles and sticks.
Round holes that
don't fit.
Elementary
my dear.
Magic carpet cruise
down
crooked streets
of vacant use.
Nonsense.
Silly.
He was always
square.
Whoever surmised he
was cut from
the round?

Ellworth Ant thought marching was fun
With his good buddies, one by one
Tail next to nose
Never in rows
But some days the odor would stun
Ellworth Ant wished he could compete
to lead the assembled antfeet
Ellworth surmised
(Being trail-wise)
That, not viewing antass'd be sweet

Dawn awakening in
Thy celestial eyes,
Thy redolence like
A breeze wafting thru skies,
Thy smile,
A gleam to mesmerize,
Thy embrace, a fantasy
Surmised,
Amongst your arms mother,
Amongst my guise!
Amongst your arms mother,
Home…I reside…

As I sat I stared at the teeniest tiniest of hairs which by and by was not so easy for these naked eyes to quantify it was but one single prayer that then as it were by or perhaps with some sort of surprise that I realized that what I had just then surmised could only have been seen slantwise…

It woke me from my sleep today-
banging, flapping on my window.
And when I heard it, I surmised
that bird returned to try again.
Bang after bang- it would not stop-
every day, it tried and tried-
not knowing glass prevented it
from entering expanse it saw.

Verse
A vacuum wanders down the stairs.
I tell some folk, but no one cares.
It staggers by without a thought.
I contemplate its being… not.
It vanishes, leaves ne’er a clue.
While saying zilch, as vacuums do.
Reflecting back upon the scene,
my eyes were sharp, my mind was keen.
I sensed my heart had not a care,
And then surmised, ‘twas nothing there.

The new kid’s name is Dallas, she is in my class.
Told to us by our sixth-grader at supper.
Yeah, I know. Houston’s sister.
I was confused now. Who is Houston?
Her brother. He is in my class.
This was reported by my fifth grader.
“Any relation to Austin or San Antonio?” my third grader asked.
Apparently twins joined his class today.
I surmised they might be related.

Intoxicated pinkish elephants
electrified in splendiferous drunkenness
surmised surrealistic playgrounds
of surround sound echoing laughter &
expansivly lit hot air balloons
merrily drifting to embrace star-dusted
skies' kaleidoscopic enchantment
ever wonder,
do intoxicated pink elephants hallucinate
the same as our own alcoholic delirium

Said the rattlesnake to the spider
I've seen you before
The prey smiled
you've been here a while
Conscience clear
nothing to is to feared he surmised
Said the smiling gateman
I've seen these times before
Cat Burglar agreed
I've been here before
Said the late Man
as he took the key
I'm in now
The Janitor asked
what took your time
Never lost, but doubt
you take it away

I adopted a cat around Thanksgiving
He was the sweetest thing in the beginning
To my surprise
He’s in disguise
With The Joker kitty I am now living
This balmy yuletide season Milo despised
My silver tinseled Christmas tree he demised
Never expressing gratitude
A clawing catty attitude
Yet a contented kitty I have surmised

My computer is congested
With all the stuff it's ingested -
The silly poems that I've devised
And the inane things I've surmised.
Yes indeedy, it's been force-fed
All my foolish nonsense instead
Of important things and the like,
Now it's told me to take a hike.
All I asked was for it to print,
It said, "Listen, bub, take a hint,
I can't answer when you call.
I'm not responding. That is all."

She would be the perfect Ursula for Halloween the entire family said.
Aunt G who consumes cinnamon rolls, scones and plenty of bread.
Let’s tell her yelled her cousins, nieces, nephews and grandma too.
Don’t do it! Screeched her husband. That would make her feel blue!
Behind their backs she had been working on a big costume surprise.
She showed up at dinner as the best Ursula they had ever surmised.

Success is said to be a milestone
But is it a platform or
a journey?
They define it as destination determined by destiny
but a real thou savvy its importance
For others, success is surmised
by thy position
But you know how often thou
break down
You know what you pay off....
Success is not a destination
but a journey which never ends....
Time to believe in yourself
Time to redefine success

They must be rich and exotic, we neighbors surmised.
They had gorgeous raccoon coats, a huge surprise.
Drove automobile that cost more than my house.
I see flash of a luxurious expensive silk blouse.
When they moved in, they elevated the rest of us.
We tried to act normal, without much of a fuss.
But they were ritzy, and we were dreary and plain.
We never got invited to their parties, don’t remember their name.

I remain, he surmised, the possibility of outcomes,
I am, he collected, but particles upon their way
like a snowstorm towards a windscreen, I wait to
be a final measurement, and yet, to all miscreants
in need of harmonious affairs, as Prometheus upon
his rock, as Nicorates in his right hemisphere of my
ever-seeing, I, the incumbent of waves gliding through
plasmas, he trifled, am never at rest in my somewheres.

Those eyes that flicker in yonder light
flourish like snakes during summer nights
So seasoned and cultured unshaken they float
Though none can tell what’s pristine or trite
‘tis often I ponder what spare
pages you sought to share
A question mark be thy beauty
such a being surmised as rare
her smile benevolent as summer’s breeze
Upon my knees nimble I appease
And in that time I recollect
These memories that are elder keys

Verse
last night I dreamed a thousand lies
floating on moonbeams not surmised
a faceless lover I recognize
dreams unfounded that won't survive
breezes lilting deep green pine
our bodies flattening a design
on dense, sweet grass and forest vine
love heats quickly as we entwine
and you taste a lover's wine
opened eyes reveal night lies
of a dearly beloved and I
blazing truth in heart not mind
this broken heart split open wide

Surmised, assumed
Foreboding shadows brood
Like omens without mediums
Their strange impressions loom
Blind they seem
Gloating as they gleam
Rippling, murmuring
Stifling a scream
On the brink of speech
Their mutterings recede
Occupied by the thoughts
Of the lost and in between
Conceit or dream
Mythic or obscene
They coddle with a moonlit bribe
Confiding the unseen

At work one time, I was surprised
When a lady gave me quite a big smile
I've still got it, is what I surmised
I had more pep in my step for awhile
After a few more times it went bad
When I found, I lead myself astray
"You remind me a lot of my dad!"
Was what she would finally say!
I thanked her for the nice compliment
Meanwhile massaging my wounded psyche
And thankful that her accolade spent
Wasn't her grandpa that I looked like!

The Symbionese Liberation Army hushed
Dusk paved the way for a new day.
Who speak for poor, once rich?
Murderous men surmised-
Women, too, brewed wealth.
God forbid we stay enslaved,
Numbing, numbing, as with
Sexual molestations...
Chasing blood from our brain
Coagulated into pain.
We hurt ourselves not knowing
Why we pine, yet
Long before that final breath,
Moment after moment will meet us,
Forgiving as new day's light.

Night's breath has coalesced
upon the window pane
etched a landscape all in white
with forest, trees, and lanes.
Frosted panes, once so plain,
now graced by nighttime's sighs
lift lacy limbs toward white capped hills
below a pristine sky.
Comes the sun, the night's undone
and I can almost cry,
as night's trace is fast erased
from my weary eyes.
Day time yawns, with the dawn
as surely you've surmised
most of nighttime's beauty will
not linger once baptized.

Verse
Fear is a strong feeling for me, an emotion I despise
It is sometimes debilitating to me at times, I have surmised
Spiders, heights, creepy crawly bugs, diseases I may get
I am fearful of failure, not giving my all, having regrets
I fear being alone, dying alone, wasting away in a nursing home
I fear the afterlife and ponder if I will go to another realm to roam
