Strangest Poems

The Gods May Be Crazy

Tossing and turning all night
recently had the strangest dreams
recalling them in broad daylight
don’t know what they mean
wrecked by a stacked deck
of bottom-dealt cards
I was under the gun
attacked by a pack of hungry wolves
had me on the run
lost in the woods and couldn't see
the forest for all the trees
mocked by a flock of tar-black crows
had me

Tai One On

I wasn't long in Hong Kong,
before I saw my first tai chi,
and it gave me the strangest notion,
the exercisers, advancing all in a row,
were line dancing in slow motion.

They put their left hand in,
right hand out,
in, out, in, out,
waved them all about
and, set to soothing, soulful music,
the male practitioners suggestively sang,
"If you show me your

Premium MemberLast night and this morning I had the strangest audio dreams

Last night I dreamt: I didn't have a nice enough dress to wear to my three
cousins' weddings. I knew that: my maternal grandparents, aunts and 
uncles and some of my deceased cousins, were already in the kingdom of 
heaven.  And that they were getting ready for the marriage supper of the
Lamb of God. (Rev.19:7-9)

Yes,

The Strangest of Sensations

I like the way he takes that car
and makes it howl with such a yowl.
Some guys like to drive from A to B.
They keep it simple.
Others never notice how many see,
gaze at their wheels, their roofs, their doors.
But this one experiences the strangest of sensations.

What is he feeling as he takes that car,
making it yowl

Premium MemberStrangest Folk In Charge We Note

Its not a joke.' Well to some that is ! How did they miss
Such crazy biz.? First there were 'roller coaster noises'
Then drawn out breaths, and hauranging voices comply
Was a buzz-word, and no-thing was normal? Masks
Macarbe; we were given slim choices.. 90% might survive
Just take the medcine..' you will thrive' there are others life's at

Premium MemberStrangest Lunch Date Ever

We moved six times she tells him.
I moved nineteen times when I was a kid.
She stares at him.  “That must have been rough.”
He shrugs. “I am better for it.”

She had told him that she was an assistant manager.
He used to have that kind of job before he became a vice president.
She told him about

Shudder, Tremble, Then, Now

A shudder, a tremble,
hearing a screech.
Was it that chalk again -
on that board or this wall?

We tend to hear things
at the strangest of times:
midnight, noon, three-seventeen.
But seven minutes to ten?

Hmm. That's an odd time.
It may come again tomorrow.
But what is weird is that
it will come yesterday.

Yet I knew nothing of that till today.
We have the

The Strangest Me I Have

the strangest me I have
attended this morning in mind
pointing out things I didn't know
about myself
for example the power of resignation
that I demonstrated by not rebelling
when the garbage swallowed my convictions
and also the ability to heal myself
of the painful wounds that were inflicted
by the continual battles of contradictory thoughts
the weirdest me take charge sometimes
if higher emotional

The Strangest Fruits Are Vegetables

My art on the tomb walls



Ventriloquism for the bored and the dying

Coffins nailed to this pale stricken plot

The blink blink wink of a bleeding heart

 

For all the world to see.

The ones that give perverts such strange thrills

Premium MemberThe Strangest Thing

You ask me where my homework is:
Well, teacher, I know you won’t believe this,
but I swear to you it’s true.
I really had my homework all set to give to you.

But as I walked to school, oh my gosh,
the strangest thing: This pterodactyl.
(what you taught us of in class)
dropped down from the sky
with fire shooting from

Premium MemberI Made the Strangest Collage

I made the strangest, weirdest, most inedible collage
Out of sticks and pretzels and things from Uncle Petey’s garage
I glued on nails, screws, feathers, ribbons and fur.
The fur made a noise, much louder than a grrrrrrrrrr
It was still attached to an animal who now had my head
In a vice, between his teeth, there was a bear

Minions: the Strangest Creatures

We are the strangest creatures...
those henchmen following the villains;
their urgent command we must obey, 
a human brain we don't have as they!
Our shape is rather cylindrical,  
our appearance is yellow or blue;
some have one eye, others two...
we are those minions so comical!

We set out to do unfair deeds,
deceiving people with promises,
" Vote for him,
