Premium Member Buzzards On the Infamous Hill

Buzzards on the Infamous Hill

Always sitting at the edge of my seat,
When, oh when, shall truth finally come out…
As a true,American splendiferous treat!

But buzzards of cravish deception,
Fill the political, pockmarked skies.
Leaving us forever, with questions.

These carnivores reside on The Hill.
Where truth and goodness perish.
Americans left with lies, hope is killed.

Ethics lay as pricey,broken sunglasses.
Crushed beneath deceptive, well heeled feet.
“No news, just pure propaganda for the masses?”

Now, an amoral ,upside down, nation,
Where cheating and lies are given full reign.
And all good folk, dubbed as “abominations?”

Indeed, tis the poison Swamp’s entire purpose.
To establish a frightening totalitarian future.
Where depravity is honored, in their very sinews.

The Door Wolf

The Door Wolf.
And, what of the waxing Moons
Its flood, of relentless tides, that time
of scar faced pit dogs, long sharp toothed,
their belly grumbling handlers, eager 
to chalk a death line, on cold ale stained flag stones hard.
While in bleakness yard, belly tumbling hags squeeze, last drops out of well gripped ****, for the blind pups bellies,
babies must wait, in so many ways they  are a benefit, against the door Wolf.

And what of pale,  deep eyed children
Barefoot in waste lands of snow
Thin as cotton threads, as are their ragged clothes !
Their belly grumbling quenched, by easy swallowed earth worms, to placate the parasitic worms hidden within.
Ahh, all in ! to the avoid the door wolf.

And what of the well heeled lace lover, 
hovering in trinkets of silver, and cups spilling with distain, against the scroungers pain ?
With, Parisiene perfume, to muffle the drum
Hum drum  stench, from a piss trench
soaked and brandyied to sleep.
Her blinkers finaly,  blinked blank.

Those waxed, and wained Moons !
Now cobwebbed in long past night skies.

Premium Member Jackpot Eyes

How close it was but sadly not to be
  with chosen numbers falsely provident -
deserving no such serendipity
  lest I remain reckless and delinquent.
Mine are the sins of a Protestant son
  for which I am well blamed but not well-heeled,
which robbed my vulgar life’s fortune undone
  till I’m pale and hermetically sealed.
Lost are foreign cars, no pockets of gold -
  no libertine joy till O’ happy dirge!
My Faustian spirit that sold its soul
  alas will not my blunted senses purge.
O’ well, seems my fate is not to abscond
with some giddy perky pneumatic blonde!


           Written: December 1996

Greatest Fear

I have dreams and goals to fulfill,
Longing for a wife to join me.
Hope for a place to call my own,
The confidence to stand alone.

We all have one fear at the least,
Whether or not you choose to believe.
None of us should trek in fear,	
Live in hope not your greatest fear.

When I think I’m getting it together,
Glass shatters by life’s wrecking ball.
There’s always something I don’t get,
A detail that seems impossible to miss.

When revelations finally dawn on me,
Everyone is already seven steps ahead of me.
Will I ever be the well-heeled man I want to be?
Or will I always have an Achilles heel?


Interesting Times

We are winded and on the ropes.
Backwater banjo boys
strum against us,
clouds prey upon our minds.

Bad days for going out
or staying in.
A time to be sleepless
to be dazed by the paltry,
nibbled by dogged uncertainties.
We must live timidly,
bargain for more
expect the unexpected
thrive with less.
Go shopping
in the poorer parts of town,
seek thrifty ways where
the well-heeled fear to tread.

When Cable News
assured us that the sky
was about to flap away
we began to dig deeper
with cheap plastic shovels.

We networked a few viral prayers
sought the company of magpies
while the nigh and near
once more took us all by surprise.

Reflections In a Cemetery

It’s lovely here especially in the Fall,
the Maples are tall and burning bright.

The graves and crypts are ornate and marbled,
old money made them.

I thank them all for being here before me;
for me though, a cremation
and a river journey awaits.

I imagine fishes nibbling at my ghost,
abandoned truck tires
accommodating my swirling ashes.

Eventually a karmic wheel
may turn to my turn.

In generations perhaps, I'll be transformed
through new seeded dreams
                              into a beautiful Maple tree
in an autumn cometary for the well-heeled
                  and long planted.

Premium Member Holiday Lovers and Well-Heeled Brothelers

The carefree menagerie
          a very merry coterie
        of holiday lovers, and
          well-heeled brothelers
        they rarely miss a chance
               to freeload for free

        Not stranded at borders
        shell-shocked from orders
            ~ no pretense of royalty

Premium Member Steeplechase Day

THE RACE

In a rural 
    country vale
Aylesbury's forgotten tale

a steeplechase
       from memory  long gone
the four mile hunt 
     from Waddesdon

Twenty  
     weighed in at the White Hart
the old windmill
   .. the place to start
riders famous & the well-heeled
racing across
         ditch &field.

each carrying
      twelve stone seven
the starters flag
      dropped  at exactly eleven

across brook spinney &
      the Thame
seeking the prize pot & fame

in long furlong field 
    the leaders showed
to the roars 
    from the turnpike road
the well backed grey 
became the toast
  winning
     by a length
     at
the red flagged post

Merry Christmas

The exodus is on course
Homeward bound, full force
Christmas and New Year cheer
Of the pandemic, we have little fear

The well heeled among us, lead the pack
Who knows what they will take and bring back
Those who can, alone, stay home 
Trying to preserve their human microbiome

Shades of post- war nineteen twenty
Soldiers brought Spanish influenza aplenty
Hit us hard, many died - we had no masks
Our Doctors and nurses this time, not at their tasks

Like then, we rush to send wishes true
To the political and CoVid millionaire crew
Next year, if we are here to tell the tale
Their fortunes will move further from the pale

Premium Member Elevated Status

Well heeled prove worth accumulating items 
Excess possessions symbolise hierarchy
Available funds allow aristocrat to buy them
Unwittingly sitting in prison of patriarchy
Drawn lustily to slope of have it all quagmire
Lay claim on the latest, insatiable aspire

Managing menagerie of restless investment
Inhibits by dictating subsequent strategy
On hold, breath held in waiting for a best yet
Comparitively impressive, an odd flattery
Asset gain brings accolades, remote admire
Burgeon of wealth paled by pull of desire

The Private Eye and the Femme Fatale

I’m  Packing and She’s Packing 

I’m a film noir private eye and I’ve got my eye on this voluptuous dame. I’m investigating the murder of her rich husband and searching for clues. Because deep in my gut, her sweet demeanor made me suspicious and I smelled a rat no matter how much charm she exuded.

My research told me she used to be a barmaid in a well heeled club and her gentlemen friends (they weren’t  gentlemen) sought her out and she could pick and choose. During my questioning , her sorrow consisted of martini in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
I questioned her candidly and she answered as well in a sultry way. I was tempted but I had to be hard and in control of my misguided hormones. but I was determined seek the truth.

she swayed me
But I was on to her
time will tell

Back To My Dirt

Dredged me from squalid littoral
Brushed me up; saw the first light
Eschewed from things personal
Gleaming new being; future delight
Stepping on high table of moral
I'm now the well-heeled protégé of a rosy sight
O but it ain't free! T'has dismissal:
Obey without permit
Keep mouth shut, but be loyal
Respond with no slight
Shan't be heard; not even vocal
Still on duty like a freight
For their legacy's balance 'am focal
Because they showed me light
This, than my home, is abysmal
Thought 'twas free will-alright!
My place was freedom, though lousy local
Get me out of here. Take me back to my dirt

Wafflestompers

Weekend wanderlust, backwoods trail tramping
Accesorized with well-heeled, hard-soled boots
Forrest frolicking, overnight camping
Freefalling footsteps connect to grassroots
Lost in labyrinth of lengthy commutes
Energized inboard engine outpaces
Scavenger hunting and other pursuits
Tieing up loose ends with taut bootlaces
Observing the touch of untouched places
Muddy meanderings, dry diversion
Pathway erases bootprint/ retraces
Exiting road-less-taken-excursion
Rejuivenated, (much to my liking)
Striking campfire desire for more hiking

WELL-WORN PATH OF SHOES

shoes ~ saddle

with gray and blue     catholic uniform

dove white ~ easter

sandals     dressed in ‘60’s powder blue

sneakers with my uniform

last minute mistake

mercy meted me a guard duty post

click~click~slick

cruise ship formal night

not for love, arm in arm

delicate walk to dining room

catherine de medici taller

well-heeled so we can grow smaller

dining in our fancy chairs

sacrificial slippers – quiet hush hush

toss them overboard

bare ~ love cuddles
