Vaulters Poems | Examples


Lie Ability


Pathological spit-steroid addict,
blame-shifting weightlifting fanatic
Decathlon cracked lip truth ... 
Jumping over another 
	high      cloudy crystal
	methane alibi 
aloof sprint hurdle 
Twisted twin-lip discus throw 
on a poppy milk turbo fan blow
Veracity record unverified:                                         
	Marathon factual finishes
don’t have a Mary Jane
	Photoshop shred of proof

Possessing a prosthetic tongue 
allows them half-truth pole vaulters 
	to perform 
those verbal gymnastic,
lying athletic feats of strength,
so hash mark daringly
Yielding honesty sweat labor sparingly

Such a Festivus mucous odor:
pandemic ground-zero celebration fête
Noxious nitro nostril gas, 
on a downhill imposter incline oxy splat

	     Lie ability 
don’t hinder a moral victory thief,
it’s a boon to the burglar, actually

Carousel tales ... up-and-down lung sales
giving hazy, rowboat circular details 

Ever racing for the Pinocchio prize,
	wouldn’t knowz  
	        losers, 
with smelly rumor toes ...
Fan the foul exhaust fumes — 
when their tale pipe empty, 
bad-breath     bellow sneakers
reach the end of the road

~ Raging River ~

Went down to the 
rivers edge today-
jumped right in-
wondering-
fumbling-
all about-
asking-
where-
we're-
going. 


Struggling swept away 
by the undertow-drowning 
strait to the bottom I floated; 

could already hear the vaulters-
wailing together-at me from up under. 


As limp yes lifeless to the surface I rose; 
all-of-them pecking away; at my eyes... !


Time a drifter-is-never to be misconstrue. 


My hope for another would be 
this not happen-too-you... !


Mercy's given; mercy's-
shown, I figure-now-
if I'd offered more-
myself earlier, now-
with me this fate, 
to have happened-
I don't know still-
this-way-maybe, 
then, it-wouldn't.
