Short Toss Away Poems

Be You
wring out hurts
toss away regrets
wave griefs goodbye
Be the ultimate you!
enhance your talents
live each day as if it is your last day
for it might be...

And the air cools and empties

The darkened beach,

Like Edward Storer, the poet,

One would toss away all one's poetry as failure,

As no rival for Her pale blue eyes,

There so infinitely deeper than the rushing, deep blue sea...

cast away this
little poem
beyond the cold brook

cast away the
fairy tale
from a children’s book

toss away this
silly dream
from the dead of night

toss away the
lovely girl
from your bleary sight.

cast away this
ancient chant
from your memory.

cast away the
little poem
and let the past be.

From red to black
my blood turns
to bleed.
from misery to hatred
my mind sparks
Into a raging inferno.
My thoughts and my feelings
My suffering and my torture
burns
like a raging inferno
My body
Poisoned beneath the skin
I toss away
into a pit
My heart, my pulse
beats
like a raging inferno
Through my veins.
In a state of mind,
set to rage
Like a raging inferno.

Wrap me up in a crystal ball,
and toss away the key.
Put me on a journey,
away from land and sea.

Wrap me up all cozy and warm,
all flying through the stars.
Let me visualize all that's there,
to record in memory's hold: Afar's.

Shield me from all the woes,
Never to feel again.
Tired of hurting here;
Wanting anew to begin.

Want to travel, to travel,
on to-"Afar".
Want to keep on traveling...
To record each and every star....

Molten rings of fire,
Encrusted spikes of hate.
Devil-haunted liar,
You'll pay at any rate.

Deceiving, horrid monster,
Crumbling burnt-out rain.
All the tales will cost her,
Never mind the pain.

Living the dying acid heat,
Crushing the putrid dove.
The smoldering heart will never beat,
If you toss away the love.

Crippled hope and crippled sin,
Entwined by that wicked lie.
Your shame besieging morbid grin,
As you watch the poor girl cry....

Kind poets die
Bitter ones come back to life
Drunken ones have no life
Sober ones write novels not poems
Married ones write of great loves
Single ones, of love lost
Funny ones toss away their poems
...... and join the circus
My cat wrote a poem for a contest
........and Won
I am a very depressed poet
........ and lost
As the eagle soars high in the clouds
……....a great hunter of poetic verse
This poet crawls towards his desk
Another day
Another terrible poem...

I took a walk today, the sky with angry billowing clouds, with the trumpet to call the rain, 
with me and my umbrella, watching the lighting dace across the sky. It starts to pitter patter 
upon my umbrella slowly, I reach out and catch it at my finger tips, I marvel at what lives 
little pleasures are. I toss away my burden to be swept upon the wind and tip my head back 
arms stretched wide, I watch my whole life whizzing by and think ......damn i dropped my 
umbrella....

The Markets Are Down.


Banish the hubris,
Toss away the choice words
Spoken by rotten, broken tongues.
Silence the chorus of appalled shock.

Shred the sermons,
Burn down the gory edifices:
The churches, mosques, temples
And the muted Gods they mock.

Drain the sewage.
Flush away the insidious odour
Seeping up from malls, homes, carnivals.
Put it in a closet and weld the key in the lock.

Shut it all off.
Turn out the lights.
Pull the damned plug.
But hold on to that blue-chip stock....
