T.H.O.T. 's
I'm not a player, I just use big puns a lot
I'm not a rapper, I just abhor these THOTS
Sharing my thoughts with those who care to see
All of the T.H.O.T.'s that really make me angry
The Hate Of Today that is always on full display
The Hungriness Of Those told to just kneel & pray
The Heartlessness Of Trump towards immigrants
The Hopelessness Of Those struggling to pay the rent
We weren't meant to live life in such a hateful way
Christians need to read & heed what their bible say
To convey one thing but practice another is...

Summer
Summer here is all mixed up;
it's not our growing season... and
We're north of the Equator...
so we know that's not the reason why
We plant tomatos in November...
and pick them 'fore July...
Forget the lettuce and the kale
Come summer they will fry...
We live between the salty sea
and the desert, sere...
You'd never think so many different
critters could exist here.
Puma, Deer, Fox, Ja-ve-li-na... Skunk,
Co-yo-te, Deer.
By day Co-a-ti-mun-di's out. ...

ITVBE, home of the look at me
Where dull in the head
viewers get their fix
Where girly wannabes parade in
smaller skirts & bigger boobs
Ex school girl bullies desperate to
become D list celebrities will do
anything for a lense.

Flashback: Acid 101
Vietnam: American soil
maroon(ed) southern roots
twisted around a civil war;
Nixon and tin soldiers
lay four dead in Ohio.
John F Kennedy: membrane
sliding down the limousine
shattering the American dream;
a souvenir of pavement
by way of conspiracy.
Martin Luther King, Jr: jawbone
disjointed, hanging by a tendon
cupped in the hand of a friend;
its severed skull conjuring
Injustice on the balcony.
Woodstock: retaliation's skin...

What Men Really Want
Always give him what he is really wanting…
A smile and body that are reserved for him.
A laugh and a smile that will be haunting
Him in his dreams. Eyes that he will swim
In for eternity and will never feel like he is
Downing. Be someone who will stimulate
His mind and always wants be a part of his
Growth. There are plenty who can create
And keep physical attraction, but there are
Very few who have mental attraction too.
Just one look and you will be a shining star
In his eyes, but realize that you are the blue
Sky too. You are not...
A smile and body that are reserved for him.
A laugh and a smile that will be haunting
Him in his dreams. Eyes that he will swim
In for eternity and will never feel like he is
Downing. Be someone who will stimulate
His mind and always wants be a part of his
Growth. There are plenty who can create
And keep physical attraction, but there are
Very few who have mental attraction too.
Just one look and you will be a shining star

Sky too. You are not...

Speed dating
Sorry if I'm not optimistic, in fact I may be a little the opposite
And at times erotic, deep and even a bit twisted
But you'll never find out because you was only willing to skim the surface
Drawn by my look and a catchy phrase
Was enough for you to want to explore me but it usually ends with just a gaze
Guess I'm to deep, guess if I am a story I am a continuing saga
I am not a quick piece, I am what builds the suspense of a drama
I am worth so much more then a quick stop,
Take time to explore my emotions that could give you new life or make your...

Forgotten to smile
Trapped In a cage
made of marrow
a cemetery of souls
never taken form
& penance bells
sound out
within the walls
of her cranial uterus
silence never comes
as she limbo's under
a vanishing horizon
made of marrow
a cemetery of souls
never taken form
& penance bells
sound out
within the walls
of her cranial uterus
silence never comes
as she limbo's under
a vanishing horizon

Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups !
I turn on the tv, and what do i see
A bunch of politicians arguing, how could this be
A load of tossers jumping to conclusions,
Never knowing the full story,
They're all just assuming,
Corruption and lies is all we're consuming,
The media twists stuff,
Now this is getting confusing,
Where have the good people gone,
This must be an illusion,
This is a bigger problem than pollution,
Some of these idiots missed out on evolution,
They would be more at home in a mental institution,
It's time to start a new revolution, ...

bbc off a cliff
bbc off a cliff 19.07.18
cheap to score
as the point of view i underline
we don't talk anymore
long time since mistletoe and wine.
poetry won't creep
all smart so its bloods and crips
like you cliff i'm ocean deep
i got poetry no lucky lips.
finding days that's a saviour
you can see its taken its toll
don't look at him as a boy that's a bachelor
you have created this living doll.
not going on a summer holiday
responsibility to travel light has repercussions
it may keep the devil woman at bay
now its all out...

Oz, Down Under
(Written for Ode to DU poet comp)
The villagers gathered
at the courtyard gates--
would this be the day
he would speak?
There were no greasy-fingered
trolls
to harpoon, yet
they longed for a word,
any word,
to set their souls at ease.
"Perhaps he is out riding the boat," one said.
"Maybe he is stirring the Barbie, " said another.
"But the Bible says that no man
shall know the hour of his return," still another said.
The villagers nodded in agreement
