Short Throwers Poems

Party Throw or Get To Go

Always impressed when party we throw;
To someone other's always do get to go;
Very elegant,
When we went;
They are throwers who we want to know.

Shh said the Tallywacker agent
this new baby needs a place to think
we dream mongers and sand throwers tiptoed out
understanding the need for baby to clear his mind
sorting out his past two or three lifetimes
in order to fully enjoy this incarnation...

Crystal dewdrop jewels pendent from leafless Hawthorne
over snowdrop pearls and early golden buds of daffodil.
A blackbird upon Sparrow, Peggy Gladys does adorn,
while morning light accentuates the name of Mitchell, Bill.
I look behind, my footsteps in the dew a path have worn,
past Throwers by the row, as well as Bunting, Jane. Stowe, Daniel....

I don't chirp very much... anymore.
I prefer to show case this journey in stanza.
Those open-ended cages that shooting stars and rattlers 
occasionally escape from.

I choose not to be around the "them."
the earth stream is cascading with "them"
the users 
the flame throwers of hurt and abuse
the spoilers of the soul
Polluters of good dreams.

I prefer to nest in a maelstrom of verse,
and the wonderful shadows they breed....

The confirmation hearings are low brow theatre
packs of C actors and bitter stone throwers
getting off by degrading-disgracing- humiliating.
Transparency and truth are a pale afterthought.
Do let your children watch the theatre though....
Explain to them that this is how you should never
converse with or treat another human being.

Now, for an encore take them to a playground 
leave your cell phone behind
let them teach you the art of play... 
all over again.

To War goes a Chariot:
To a Special Riot; 
With Quivers of Arrows, 
Bones piercing with Marrows… 

Had Throwers of Javelin, 
All through Men, no Jocelyn.
Chariots were for Elliot 
And Judas Iscariot; 
Largely part-horse, part-cart
You’d see and lose heart!

The Armored Car of Old,
Now in loved plastic Sold;
For The Tough Kid as Toy,
Future Soldier still Boy;
Some in Expensive Gold:
Their drivers fierce and Bold;
Ready to Homes destroy.
Make one cease being The Coy!...
