splashed his colour with free will
was considered all colour&slash
so his images seemed a trifle flash...

a goblin ate the custard

On early morn
children were playing
at the river’s shore

close to the noon
soldiers came
out of the blue

by the dim
river red
played theirs sins...

hidden not to elicit 
a trifle response
spiteful mordacious
shackled on a horde race

cartridge loiter about the ground 
wizened with years

Gustave Eiffel's tower's an eyeful.  
The view from its top makes me stifle 
a gasp when I look down.  
My stomach flips around; 
I might just lose it in a trifle....

Vainly searching who to be
Avidly yearning for more in me
Narcissistic jubilee 
Isolated tendencies
Trifle bouts of insecurities
Yawning at the piercing pleas

He is wizened, shackled to the horde,
Trifle deaf,  he would loiter use mordacious words,
Owned cartridge of film that would elicit laughter.

A guzzler from Lollapalooza
just joined the parade - P. J. Sousa.

    he's a trifle off-beat 
The cops coax him "off" to their cruiser.

Each day the airwaves brings an expert
Leaves one in awe a trifle inert
There they are on the telly
Advice on setting a jelly
Enough to put one off their dessert.

Value Of Life, A Question

Were I wizened, not shackled to mordacious horde,
I'd not loiter to elicit trifle rewards,
With my one cartridge, could I, end life sadly bored?

Once was a handsome fellow of twenty-eight
Don't know what happened, maybe something I ate
Got old and crickety
A trifle persnickety
The young girlies giggle when I try to negotiate...

IN THIS MOMENT
NO WORDS ARE SPOKEN
THEY SIMPLY FLOAT
ABOUT THE ROOM
WE ARE FROZEN
SPELLBOUND
IN THE HAZE
LIKE A DREAM
WE HAVE HUNG
SUSPENDED
WE DESPAIR THE END
THE PASSING
IT'S THE FIRST DEATH....

Sitting in a food court, watching the people
Interact with each other, they follow like sheeple
If someone says jump
They interrupt their lunch
And oblige which is certainly a trifle bit creeple...

There once was a shutterbug named Louie
Whose dry humor was a trifle screwy.
To a saguaro he said
Hands up lest I shoot you dead.
A shot; a flash; kablooey went Louie.

Saw my dear Dr. Kimberly this afternoon
She noticed I wasn't chipper like a Bugs Bunny cartoon
A trifle depressed
A weight on my chest
Even this slap happy pappy is not immune

Old Wounds


As if shackled to the bench
the wizened loiter, a mordacious horde,
prone to ellicit lies that trifle
with an empty cartridge chamber.

What ills you elicit with your mordacious tongue
shackled am I, while you trifle with my love.
You horde my affections with a cartridge of conceit
then loiter in self pity as I, wizened, exit with relief.

Eight wizened words to elicit thoughts mordacious.
Not shackled to the horde, a trifle bit audacious.
The cartridge to loiter, waiting, bored, to fire out rhymes vexatious.
