Short Surplus Poems

Emotions are like piss,
They pass through your body, and, more often than not, they are surplus to requirements....

bricks spent in Spring
a scant leftover
azure blue surplus

Hard working farmers
long hours spent in fields 
reaping the benefits

Sending surplus
to retail stores 
feeding families daily

Black balloon bellies…
Sunken red orbs peering out:
Visions of hunger… 

Tables are sagging,
Loaded with spoiled surplus food:
Empty stomachs growl…...

Donald Trump joined The Hair Club for Men
With a surplus of hair on his chin
But the more he called
The more he was bald
That's a Big Deal that Trump cannot win!...

rain came in drenched streets
showered life, near-drowned plants
Heaven's broom, harvests' groom

puddles in garden
odd beauty, surplus, providence
water sinks low, rises too...

When you see a big yellow school bus
Take care, a bunch of kiddies are making a fuss
Jumping up and down
Acting like clowns
Must be cautious, their hormones are in surplus...

When we get to the ripe old age of 80 plus
Our memory can deceive us without much fuss
Remember diddley squat
Frustrates me a lot
Oh to be young and virile with charm surplus...

He walks about

They talk about

Eyes lost focus

 Nobody could contain their surplus.


This is what he want

 Whence he put on a shirt made with green plant

Stories without end

 He brought to town, a new trend....

Surplus Kirby’s dance
Computer screens digest your time
And spit out Kirby’s.

This girl next to me
Likes writing concrete poems
(I am wasting time).

Reds turn slowly blue
Leaves disintegrate to snow
Fall turns to winter....

With your sudden guise
giving Shirley poppies seeds away
To Welford for the snowdrops
in mid February
a hushed garden
with done, knuckled buddleia
rose hips nipped
no surplus food for the birds
Spring like weather
down the South
no snow to contend

Glimpse grace grip gain
Prize pleasure plain


Sense success speak
Ply precious peak


Make moments move
Gain gracious grooves


Such special span
Plenty pays plan


Word wealthy ways
Sketch surplus say

                            supply 
                  ample, abundant

surplus, provision, necessity, upsurge
     requesting, expecting, satisfying 
                   desired, requisite 
                           demand

If we put the wisdom of providence on one plate of the cosmic scales, and the mysteries of luck on the other one; 
the bottom line will turn out a third mystery. Let's say, our individual value in the universe.
Would not the deficiencies of one plate be made up for by the surplus of the other?...

An archer from Sherwood made shooting an art
Persuaded the wealthy from surplus to part.
He fell for a maid at first sight
But fearing to tell her outright
Enlisted friend Eros to capture her heart.

Women are costly commodity.. 

So costly to the common man.. 

But Affordable to the Affluent.. 

Women are currently moved by currency..

They trade themselves for the currency..

To cure their current state of lack and high taste ...

And deem you surplus to requirements when you're sleazy.....

Hope deferred makes the heart heavy,
And justice postponed is justice denied;
Faith betrayed is faith undeserved,
For peace is peace if mutually desired.

Little is little if more is there,
And more is more if the giver is fair;
Excess is surplus if enough is known,
And it cannot be reaped that which was not sown!...

counting deaths servants, circling these wayward surplus thoughts. Plucking one by one just 
as you pluck guitar strings. Surprisingly beautiful, as they flee from deaths servants. Pulling 
out his sickle to slice, slash anything in its path. Raping them of any existanced of mind. How 
lovely. I guess I'll take a number....

Seek subtle spheres
Stream sublime swing
Spread surplus spheres


Bright blossoms bright
Bridge booming brink
Blast bearing blight


Taste testing think
Thought thrilling thing
Touch tinkers think


Spread sexy sting
Bright bursting brink
Soft subtle sting

the kindness
the goodness you inculcate
- they surplus

you're a young brave woman, my Éponine, 
your petty crimes made you no fault 
it was your parents that leads you to

you deserve more the love
you've been giving his
you are selfless

Rest now, little lady
Up there you'd see the Love
the earth oppressed You...

Pixelated poetry, 
these trapped little bits
Manufactured in the silence,
concocted, badly fit 

Sound of feigned defiance
with surplus ablated
Or surreal with cold intention,
reality choked, castrated 

Making simple complex,
floating on minds stream
With deliberate circumvention,
billion corks bobbing in my dream...

I:

L-a-g-o-s!
Fantastic, my city
Of many surprises,
O, Ngozika,
& you just expect anything –
No! everything?
Not just the Nolly wood products!
’Tis a sort of world culture
Everything black in surplus,
Plus, of course,
Doses of Eurocenticism –
L-a-g-o-s!
To know her well
You may get into a thousand pages!
Let’s get that in bits!...

That night in your bedroom
I watched a star (die)
its fixed suspended beam
blink (into blackness).
So many surplus lights were there above me
that I should not have seen its smothered eye
nor cared.
 
But I watched (beneath it)
a million backward steps away
that star of mine (implode)
a soundless clap 
(a gunshot)
in some suicidal ear....

My faith is lifted
held in surplus for the gifted
when my passion swings toward sadness
My faith is lifted
emotions stuck on gladness
troubles come negates problems shifted
My faith is lifted
hope in Christ our Lord dis bud, knitted listed
