The First Lady

Jill Biden went to Tokyo
To see Olympic rodeo
The Delta Strain
Was inhumane
So Jill told Joe its time to go!

*"Governor Ige gave the First Lady
a fragrant lei"

A Yo-Yo In Tokyo

It's easy to lose your bearings in the Bering Sea Or your yo-yo in Tokyo get what I mean How about this Being squished by a fish The fish needs to apologize, that's totally obscene

Vignette-Visualised Poetry

Attractive scenes so manifold,
Pictures of the floating world unfold
Hiroshige's landscapes flow-
One hundred views of Edo
Now known better as Tokyo

Tribute to Hiroshige's wood block prints ukyo-e

Stays / Tokyo, Japan 2008

Diminutive,
held in outward sighs,
control, curtsy, chivalry
with oceanic eyes;
Deep dreamer,
forward thinker,
silencer, sprouting poise,
kindnesses core respect;
of place, art and age;
current behavior
from bygone days
Japan stays.

Spring In Tokyo

Cherry blossoms cruise

     Serenely on tranquil pond

          Koi glide beneath

               Seeking shade 'neath lily pads

                    Bright parasols on parade

In a Tokyo bar “Special cocktails for the ladies with nuts” I'm eighty-three, never heard of Japanese ladies possessing coconuts Maybe in an outlying region Not known to us civilized legions But civilized enough for the ladies to have twenty-three pups

reindeer fly a new hybrid

Biologists and zoologists from Tokyo to Berlin worked on a new hybrid.
Unaware she was unique to the world, reindeerfly zoomed in the night sky.
Her hooves were sharply pointed, her wings were delicate said Fred.
Botanists and chemists were in awe, in disbelief as we saw her fly by.

Five-Star Generalissimo

Puzzled five-star Generalissimo
On his map, he couldn't find Tokyo
  He looked here and there
  Darn near everywhere
'Course, his map's a street map of Kokomo

Kokomo is a town in Indiana, north of Indian-
apolis, with a population of about 58,000.

Rocket Ship

'Twas at the age of nine,
        In the year 1959,
        I undertook to build a ship,
        A bright red, plastic rocket ship,
        That housed a transistor radio,
        A cheap Japanese transistor radio:
          By whose dial I could magically go
          To Boston, New York, or Tokyo.

Me

Rocky
Brother, son, uncle, artist
Brother of Aaron, Amy, and Jessica
Lover of the arts, cute girls, and love
Who feels happiness, love, tired
Who fears rejection, pain, and falling
Who would like to see Tokyo, Hollywood Undead live, and an acceptance letter to MIT
Resident of Clarkston, Washington

Biograph

Christopher
Thoughtful, tough, passionate, loyal
Brother of Megan
Lover of novels, chocolate, and Chloe
Who feels confused, loved, but still lonely
Who fears insignificance, failing loved ones, and the after
Who would like to see Rome, Tokyo, and my children grow old and happy
Resident of Cleveland, Ohio (it really does rock).

Embark Less To Save the Planet

Fluffy's joined the jet set
in the upper stratosphere
where the cirrus clouds are wispy
just like her touzled hair.

Is she off to Tokyo
or maybe to LA?
When dogs have joined the jet set
it's difficult to say.

But what about her carbon count?
It must be very high.
More local earthbound walkies
should reduce her need to fly.

Tokyo Blues

Welcome to Japan where an Uber costs
two hundred dollars and a can of Spam.
Tokyo — all my pockets it exhausts.
My plane’s just arrived and I’m in a jam.

I turn the spindle and it cuts me — ouch!
I miss the lights and the tree and my wife.
A limo would have taken half my pouch.
I miss her long arms and I miss my life.

Midori

It has the sweet taste of honeydew.
This is liquor for me and you.
You can be in New York or Chicago.
You can travel to Osaka and Tokyo.
It is in bars and clubs wherever you go.
This is a spirit always on the scene.
It can be recognized by its color of green.
What is this liquor of great popularity?
It is none other than Japan’s Midori.

Japan

The island of the rising sun
The land were work is fun
With tireless proletarians
And boundless trailblazers 
Land where days and hours clock first
Where it is already tomorrow when our sun sets
At the edge of the world 
With a new age for the world 
They break paths for us to maintain
The earth cracks but they build again
Lights never dim in Nihon
Nihon always lives on

If I Had a Magic Wand

If I had a magic wand
I’d stupefy my enemies into becoming friends.
With me and with each other.

I would wave it around in New York City
And chant words that would spread love and hope
From that city to Tokyo and back.

I would build the homeless homes with it
and I would show them how to plant gardens,
So we could feed the third world countries.

If I had a magic wand.

Ghost Town

I saw one with the placidness of death
A necropolis pummelled, with mallets of sorrow,
By the brutishness of Silence and numbed by the
Prickly shafts of premature grey hair, sickly and odorous.
Even Tokyo, normally awash with people and pets,
Pots and pans, observed the rules of siesta.
I witnessed it —a virus so vicious —!
A plague that humbled one and all —
Troglodytes we!

The adventures of Pinocchio

                             - His Italian growing nose 

                                    Timber stiff ... in repose -

                               ... doctor came from Tokyo

                          World needs more men like Collodi Carlo

The Vicissitudes of Modern Air Travel

I relax and sip my martini cruising at 40000 feet.

If only my bags arrive with me, all will be complete

I arrive in Tokyo and watch the carousel go 'round and 'round.

Although it made many circuits, my luggage could not be found!

Here I sit forlorn in the terminal in Tokyo, Japan.

Alas, my shirts and drawers ended up in Kyrgyzstan!
