Maxop's Lyricism Poem
Acacia tree satel’ the prairie land
townsfolk gather the witnessing stand
music man muster the rhythm band...
a waltz they played,
gravedigger prep a solo grave,
shackles jingle limbs accursed...
hands, feet,
each thwack step... weak, weak, weak,
hidden from popular sight
a woman, Abigail, weep
latched onto mercy’s flee.
hers the lie condemned the meek,
hangman readies the gallows floor
spring-door springs, dangling legs swings,
neck snaps a hoarsen gasp,
buckeyes bleed,

Maxop's Lyricism Poem
Once dolorous by
the might of
disaster's lick
and hope flick
the luminous Cross
and it was... ‘Red’
RedCross,
flame eternal wick

Dangling upon
thread of dreams
forbidden love snagged
arousal... unseen,
for a maiden clove
serene

Maxop's Lyricism Poem
Heat laden dust
fluff scorch searing
desert plains---
earth seems aflame;
gust twirl
it's stinging grains,
rays of sun bake
minds of us who dare &
foray hamlets that
know not rain, too
tame austere in name

Maxop's Lyricism Poem
Westward blown…
sprinkled mist of wind’s wisp
bathed in summer’s blazing heat
upon iron frame bench I sit
my legs they dangle above madness,
sandy ledge,
not a cloud shield me from sun’s bake
baking my starving arms…
hunger’s thrum
I wait here for love to come
my eyes they roam the torrent angry sea
splash of wave’s cast swab my face
amid gentle breeze
so consumed with the wind’s mist,
the sun’s bake, the sea’s splash,
my hunger’s sass
I missed the love that walked pass
daydreaming… what a drag!

Maxop's Lyricism Poem
In the years of
nineteen-hundred and sixties
in palm of muggy
Mississippi Delta
we would walk around
in thick & bitter air,
we would hide
in denial’s shadow
too witness laissez-faire
across forbidden tracks,
then I, as a child, nine or ten,
would sleep
and dream of flying,
of flying above thick
& blinkered, & pungent clouds
into flare of
greeting nihility,
and as I would awake
for another chronic day
rustlers mounted
jimmy crows
awaits to shatter our rise

Maxop's Lyricism Poem
Normality
ills of academic hordes...
sought to lampoon the rest
into robotic construct
notable exploits ~wings of creativity~
via abnormality
certainty of hordes' unquizz
fore they conceal
wee might in twilight’s hour
meager lab’s florescent
shine dimly against darkness peep
of night starry
luminesce cuff
lonely Scoffer draped in madness
abnormalities
isolate unknown gene’s molecule
dispel horde’demic norm
certainty of normality quizzed
by abnormality… fore
he is said not to be illuminati

Maxop's Lyricism Poem
Brother. O Brother.
O when when we were callow
In days young Shakers of the movement before
gray & silver turned our locks we held in idol
Spree even damned were we
Lessen a very score ’til callous became un-sore
away had you myth into the far-off seeking a northern star
Thus did dim of you re-turn filled
privileged besiege ferrying scripted jots of the novel are
deluged in assure
Brother. O Brother.
Dont forthwith tell to me nor else what I do not
forth I have continued a militant pace
Dont mid uncommon lot tell to me nor else
demur girding resistance rebellious plot
If you must speak a hair tell
of owned stead mid factional fight In the absence
tell of owned gallant march for quality rights
If adapt if no longer a sworn knight
tell of owned rationalism of moralism the plagiarism of
Quisling plight ill-gots Are you not at will zealot
Brother. O Brother.
Here in the brawling depth the course bowl clear
onward the struggle un-stop
You we in pledge had warrant to our brethren aged
to carry the pillars in lift
O out furthest yon you hither re-turn elope dystopia sum utmost grift
—whitewashed literacy alien pensive — these snares gate
earnest mental width so readily turncoat gift
in errand of handmade suits and seasoned goose
be too un-loathed the dandy one who tend the noose
Steady are the angered us of sternly force
undue toil seizing liberty under conquer
Brother. O Brother.
If for reasons untold at sun’s godly will alms’ shine
shalt fetch flicker of brotherly chime
O the left-behind aggrandizing autocrat-kneeler sprawl
as liken wayward owl
cant find luminous in eyes of kinship kind — formed
across absolutist allured far-off whereat darken desert loom
Muse this Steely-dusk rise leap desert’s sandy sweep
to the heavens it seeps to hand the moon its imposing greet
if for reasons untold

Maxop's Lyricism Poem
Masterful!
lordly framed
picturesque rain stain
ing icy cap summit’s height,
vaulting off grassy green
pediplain’s sloping foothills,
impinging azure sky’s obscur
ing clouds.
blazing sunbeam painted
freshet rush to where river-rocks
are the fairest.
rosy-finch, gray-crowned,
bathe cross-winds breeze clink
ing conifers lazing at the frost rich shore,
river flow, embolden splendor.
the poetics surrendered?
ingest’d without disturbance,— by us,
graylings are of abound... thus!

twerking minds rain,
sins are a-flame
aloof corset a-blame,
and fame...
