Short Teak Poems

Old,teak made chairs,
Heavy weights,
New plastic and steel chairs,
Made sitting Chairmen light!...

The vast emptiness
spreads behind the tall teak tree

Teal quacking loudly.
Swam by Teak growing by lake.
Headed who knows where.
An electric eel,
becomes light to a dark world,
No matter how deep!...

Salad fresh, cool, crisp with
Sweet onion dressing tossed;
Salt and pepper a must !
Spinach added for health;
Sprinkled herbs for delight;
Steak strips added is nice !...

Success paddles forth on a teak-crafted boat,
God’s blessings now shine in a glow to adore.
Your foes only watch as your fortunes take note,
Your blessings now match every sand by the shore.
God made you a beacon of love evermore....

Steak, a versatile food,

So easy to prepare.

Seared, broiled, or grilled, my choice.

Searing steak, I prefer.

Savory, meaty, and

Smoky scent in the air.

Seared rib eye steak, yummy!

It's not about the now dull walls

Or the shiny tiles

Or the tinted glass on the windows

Or the sad-looking stairs

Or the new teak coffee table

Or the painted countertops

Or the new tawny couches

Or the jagged mosaic rag

None of that could make me leave

It just doesn't feel like home anymore...

Squeaky Clean Floors of Teak
All clean and shiny is my teak
When they step on my 
Glossy black my heart leaps
Joyous smiles deep down my timbers leak
You can see your face and physique
When you look at me
Don’t walk on me with your dirty feet
Shhh….. Whisper when you speak
If you’re real quiet you’ll hear me squeak....

beginnings anew ~ passing fades 
winter in your lovely days
fastidious brisk breath leaves 
nature bare of its loveliness

barn teak roost in silent air
wooing doves and many stare 
harmless they do flatter there
antiguos luna llena’s  prayer

I wish to die 
By the Teak rail 
Of a salt weathered deck
A poetic death  you see…
Wrap’t snug as a bug
Warm woolen shawl  round my neck
With my ol’ grizzled dog at my knee
 I’d like to be found
Eyes wide open and round
In a rocker of wicker
Gazing out to sea.
What better a death
An ol’ poet’s last breath
Could there possibly  
…and poetically be?…...

As I lay myself down to sleep
In the corners, spiders creep.
Webs catch many flies. I peak.

As I was a child, bugs I seek.
See a brown one I don't freak.
Bird gets a black one in beak.

Daddy long legs, not for geek.
Spider goes down a sink, leak.
Eight-legs creep, not in meek.

Scared cats see one, a shriek!
Black widow crawls on my teak.
Spiders are just not for meek....

How did I get to where I am
Only thru the senescence of life am I
Sensing nothing earthly at this time
My spirits instantaneous apprehension knows
Shadowed by flora, contained by earth, I lay down
Auras obstructed by man made
Satin and teak, what do they mean
Slowly rising, I sense light, aromas, and movement
Invalid dogmas in retrospect, passing obliquely
Obfuscating life as it was
More light, I run before the wind
This is future, I'm free...

You censor me so,
please hear my full row:

Standing on this Creek,
I felt like a greek,
with burning cheek,
I could not speak,
I was forced meek,
with no friends to seek,
my mind began to leak,
soon it was on peak,
I gulped full on peek,
before I sighted that man sleek,
as he came near he began to reek,
 I was forced to gesture and geek,
threatened I lifted the nearby teak,
I have stopped now,
you bloody freak,
its your turn to speak....

Don't you dare I'm a broken chair,
If you sit hard on me darling;
I'll be no longer there.
Although I'm not made of teak,
Smart enough your nose to tweak.
Should you throw me in the attic,
I can tell you one thing for sure;
Your days will come once more to you,
When you painfully sat on the floor.
