Yak Poems

christening cruise, ship to shore...queasy slick ~
  tropically trotting, tempura-tapping, sure shoot’n quick ~
    digital capture of roiling hammock can’t help courting hacks ~

In my castle, live dragons...yes, dragons; 
after all, they are humble beings
quite suitable for keeping the place 
warm in the winter months.
Oh don’t worry, my castle is completely stone;
fourteen-foot thick walls,  house my scaly brood.
It’s the only dragon-heated castle...Read More

Lion 'bout grabbing tiger by tail

Holy mole lee
watch out fowl, balladeer
look out... i.e. donkey kong
primate doth share
footloose slothful writing,
essentially swiftly tailored hare

reed styled mountebank
gets made by mice elf,
an imperfect triangulated square,
while "fake" charioteer
looses neigh scent horsesense
glomming "fake" papier

mâché piñata across...Read More

Whoa .. I’ve need for some hay
then a trip to the trough to quench my thirst.
I’ve not eaten much;  I need to rest this very day
will stop at Laramie, must have a stable first

My saddle is heavy, will need...Read More

Argh... infamous pinwheel on macbook pro 2009

alas and alack
myopic staring eyes
bulge out their sockets,
cuz yours truly taken aback
I espied sight more frightful,
than rookie dazed chess player

checkmated courtesy men in black
pawn during next move dizzily
stunned as if suckerpunched smack
dab, now seeing...Read More

Mock battles with my sons.
Star Wars characters hauled out
of their tubs.

Rancor Monster, Squid Head, Yak Face.
Darth Vader, Jabba the Hut…
Snaggletooth is a real dick.

Skeletor, Beast Man and Evil-lyn.
The whole crew, just bad to the bone,
but at least Evil-lyn was hot....Read More

Higgledy-Piggledy Pop;
Make the madness stop.

Empty your bladder,
On the boob tube blabber.

Yackity Yak, Yackity Yak,
Our sanity is under attack.

Spin, Spin, Spin, the thing;
The world defined by the southpaw wing.

Chapter VI explained it all;
60 million died at that ball;

Higgledy-Piggledy Pop;
The madness needs...Read More

The Tibetan Yak came to town to set us all straight.
We are hard-working fellows, our work ethic great.
We do not stand around using idle chit-chetter.  
Please change the other meaning of Yak for the better.

HE CREATED A SITUATION WERE SHE COULD
BE SEEN AS BEST
HE WAS UNTESTED
AND SOME WHO KNEW HIM

ALONE
AND ALL WHO WISHED ME WELL
FOUND REASON TO BELITTLE...Read More

Yak Yak Yak
Saying less than nothing
Gibber Gibber Gibber 
No one hears for we have shut off our ears

Yammer Yammer Yammer
We try to eat in silence
To no avail.
She needs attention, not realizing she is annoying

A brave soul attempts to interrupt
She is...Read More

Ain’t that a kick in the head?


Ain’t got nobody to ‘love you lots.’
So what?
Ain’t got nobody to call.
That’s cool.
Ain’t got nobody to call me good.
Good.


Ain’t got enough time to tell you the truth.
Whether I am good or bad is not...Read More

Field and forest lay painted pearly white.
Nature unravels her artistic side.
Angels descend to view the peaceful sight.
Trees glisten with a smile full of pride.
Snow capped meadows welcome and do not chide.
The winter sun calls out for none to hide.

Peaceful people...Read More

I’m still at it.
illmatic.
religious with a pen
Like a nun with a bad habit.
Read between the lines,
I mainline ink 
I’m an addict.
I’m not your regular average 
I’m a caveman, 
a savage.
Smashing with a passion
Til the paper gets ravaged.
Writing on automatic
My autobiographic

Catch the latch under the thatch
Roof within the hut
In your village where you snatch
Every chance to balance the gut
 
That propels your vision
To embrace the trace of the future
You believe lies in the diffusion
Lying at the intersection of a culture

A yak and a yeti made a bet
To see which one was the hairiest.
The yak was an ox,
And the yeti, no "fox",
Had already won as the scariest.
Neither had the allure
Of the latest coiffure,
They were unkempt and creasy and craggy.
Then a...Read More

the tiny duck with quite a quack,
an ear shattering YAK, YAK, YAK,

Of all the places
I have been
This is the strangest
That I've seen

It is called
The mixed up zoo
where the animals
Just will not do
Exactly what they're supposed to do
That's why it's called the mixed up zoo

Imagine lions in a tree
Not where they're supposed...Read More
