The Greatest Panjamdrum
There once was a philologist
a selcouth bagnio- callypgian
A lost man, gorgonized with
a dirl forming upon
his hairy philtrum
He would lulliloo, from his
cockloft, sounding like a
Hookah Hubble Bubble
escaping from a keld.
Notably strange indeed
A rare renifleur, who
collected kackidrosis
within a pooter bottle
a selcouth bagnio- callypgian
A lost man, gorgonized with
a dirl forming upon
his hairy philtrum
He would lulliloo, from his
cockloft, sounding like a
Hookah Hubble Bubble
escaping from a keld.
Notably strange indeed
A rare renifleur, who
collected kackidrosis
within a pooter bottle

never been great with titles, but call me sir if you must
((1))
sky seems dark now
darker than it's ever been
and I know, I know in my heart
there's light busting at the seams
trying to get in
((2))
they don't know
and there's no way in hell
I'm ever going to tell them
most of me died
in a court room
way back
they were children
and sometimes I resent
that they still look up to me ...

Solitude
In this room...
It's blistered cardboard walls
And a monotonous bulb
Guttering above me
Like a flickering 60 watt sun
That forgot to shine
Surrounded by the scent
Of stale cigarettes
And the scattered remnants of nightmares
Footsteps outside my door
Disembodied fragments of men
Scurrying down infinite corridors of solitude
Leaning out my window
Into the sprawling urban night
The wafting bouquet of garbage
And the relentless symphony
Of sirens and screams

A Poet’s Paradox*
( *according to Oxford )
A millionaire po’etess, very strange,
To be true to myself, negotiate!
How does that rate my writing in exchange,
Let’s see what’s in the 8 ball as my fate.
Commodities in verse, it says “Fuck Yes”;
A millionaire po’etess, very strange.
I might as well proclaim a lucky guess,
Come visit me I’m at the stock exchange.
The other times I’m practicing my range,
To duet with the artist known as ‘Sting’.
A millionaire po’etess, very strange;
I’m born with perfect pitch but I can’t sing.

Peaced out and in
---a morning ritual
of logging into the
best. poetry. site. ever.
only to be greeted
by more of the same
unsubstantiated rants
from the usual attention
starved dullards who gave up
on being wordsmiths years ago
blessed to converse with your
Best. Friend. in. the. Universe
for an hour or so
before becoming waterlogged
in an epsom salted bath
taking a sorely needed nap
running hours into overtime

Arms
Tornado, wind hushed child.
I hope one day
you'll find a place
where you can
unload with ease
into arms that
stretch immeasurably
to catch you
when the life dance
is a rhythm out
and you wonder
where to now.

THE SAMPLE
THE SAMPLE
What you will see in your next life
and what you see in your night dream
are both your deeds of daily life
which night and heaven give them gleam.
Same fibre has the dream you have
with life up there; they're both divine.
What you with full intention do
gives after effects of the wine.
That is the sky that you aspire
to live in when life gets sheer night.
Heaven and dreams will show your acts;
what's done before becomes so bright.

Propensus
common cattails
bowing gracefully
to the coming changes,
their toes still cooling
in the muddy edge
of the marsh,
while Autumn’s chilly breath
and Summer’s toasty fingers
argue over who will lay claim
to my bare ankles
