When We Have Food Replicators 2
Written on Planet Furry
Captain's JohnnyKirk's log:
When our hairy alien friends have
more time and good health for
grooming or restless legs syndrome
while attempting sleep, not overly hungry
calling my ship for aid every time I orbit over
Or sending me space raid siren pleas for help
because they have such simple alien brains
comprehending little beyond hormones and warp 1. . .
Barely reaching warp the frenzied ambassadors
feast-ively flying into action upon hearing
the Accord that is Pavlov's Bell . . .
When there are no more furry friends
Well ...
I guess that's when the SOS calls finally end!

Deep Love
What more can really be said besides that we're here
expressing ourselves to the masses, or at least a lot
of people who call themselves 'Creatives and poets" So
there is no other thing to do but to pay respect to the
originators of a place free to judge and smile at the
same time. We are the crowd. The folks that speak
real loud, the ones that went out of their way to seek
something where expression rules, and here we are.

a blackwolf ringing my door bell
There is a blackwolf ringing my door bell
Banging on my door and it wants in
Howling it revolutionAL howl
To rectify my mistakes and guide me to a better path
There's a blackwolf ringing my door bell
With fur as beautiful as a genus of flowering trees (Melia)
Forever showering me with the sweetest of compliments
There's a blackwolf ringing my door bell
It comes running and running me down
Chasing me down the stream of juvenile 66 butterflies
Chasing me into a poetic tragedy
With words so shakespear-sweet
Sending me into Ely down the cambridgeshire
There's a blackwolf ringing my door bell
Banging on my door and it wants in
Howling it revolutionAL howl
To rectify my mistakes and guide me to a better path
There's a blackwolf ringing my door bell

Chasing me into a poetic tragedy

Blue Lotus
Hide away, my psyche
Don’t risk getting feisty
The World won’t understand
Your voice, most likely banned
Wrap it in some verse
Ambiguous or terse
Authority won’t notice
Not unlike Blue Lotus
If you dare to strike a nerve
The nation-state will self-preserve
Except for those who they dismiss
Already on the crazy list
Poetry, Deep Underground
Is, in a word: Profound
The powers who rule over us
Already think that we are nuts!

Deep Underground
Can’t go anywhere but cyberspace?
Visit the place where poets come to write,
Distancing yourself socially to not catch a case?
Race down to the Underground and see the site.
(Or is it see the sights?)
Despite what the world is going through,
Here you’ll see and hear the voices of dreamers,
Filling each other with hope trying to be SOAP,
That’s the Sum Of All Parts for the cleaners.
(Shameless plug ^)
Dig Deep like the roots of a tree in this Poetry,
Talk to the poets and ask how they wrote ‘em,
Check out the comps, groups and forums,
Oh, and make sure you have a good modem.
(90s kids will get that one)
Deep Underground Poetry is an awesome place to be,
You get to connect with other poets, writers and artists,
Share your verse and rhyme it’ll be a great…experience,
But give it your best because DUP be the hardest.

My line unwrapped
Words all jumbled, like spagetti
pen at start, now I'm ready
word of love to impress a lady
melt, her cold, cold, heart
She that grass and you the rake
try to groom, to ordered state
polishing to delicate or intimate
somethin smokin, somethin tart
But she's the bitch that has you fettered
writing lines that cant be bettered
hook, line and sinker
in a pose, like Rodin's Thinker
no stop button, when you start
For that mile was so uncharted
hesitant you stumble thwarted
that leap of faith, in rhyme or pro's
"And that's Rap", my soul exposed
mindset all, in that impart
Now I'm here I sit and reason
for that "cool" I bin seeking
Aladdins cave of treasures gleaming
to change my life and sense of meaning
self emancipation in that form of art
By adding DU to your shopping cart

Deep Underground
( a Tribute that tells a story through poem titles from 21 Deep members )
It’s now one year forward since the scourge;
Comes the dawning of the first new Light
Through a crimson sky, the colours of time.
We are no different despite the purge.
The cleansing of being tethered flight
Beyond of what seemed to be a lifetime.
Lockdown cities, street by empty street,
Isolation by isolation,
Considered a privilege if we survived.
A hint of sadness, we’ll never meet,
Emerged from charity sedations.
But almost harmless doesn’t mean we tried.
Almost wanted had a second chance
If you’re bracing for the unveiling;
It’s just enough to make you stay alive.
A wild child in moonlight for this dance,
The hum that ripples a song failing,
Here Nature is speaking to save her hive.
The 21 Deep members whose poem titles
(in italics, picked at random from current pages
of My Updates) my poetic ink honours:
