Poet Introduction
I hope you find a treasure in my trash. Pent
A Peak Into The Valleys
Checking out involuntarily
Chasms of space between peaks
Valleys filled with thick underbrush
Virtually impossible
to pass
Heavily stepping forward
Stumbling, peddling retreats
Headwind breezes pummeling
Weather transforming
suddenly
Reaching a steep climb base
Eternity round and around
Seemingly naught progress
Burdens unimagined
amass
Gasping altitudes barricade
Dead-end sheer rock spiked
Lifelines strung haphazardly
Heeling, cursing,
curmudgeonly
Chasms of space between peaks

Heavily stepping forward
Stumbling, peddling retreats

Seemingly naught progress
Burdens unimagined
amass
Gasping altitudes barricade
Dead-end sheer rock spiked
Lifelines strung haphazardly
Heeling, cursing,

Manhood
I don't think I'm a man yet
I'm an old man though
My adolescent unsureness
Still prevails, I know
I know when I meet a man
I just play along
I can't compete with completeness
Makes me feel I'm not strong
Even my manhood is fading
In inadequate ways
My wife's so understanding
Showering praise
I'm so critical
Transferring my faults
Hiding old wounds
With verbal assaults
So undeserving
Just nobel intentions
I tell myself not to
But my inner child mentions
Maybe...

Angling
Alongside, a cast away
patiently reeling, with hat adorned
fishes that odd, old fellow
from the reserve....
Multiple lines below the surface
landed at a distance
determined by my gear
State-of-the-art equipment
recently purchased
hoping schools appear
I had returned his approaching wave
darkness soon would be the day
unconquered nibbles mourned
Peacefulness dominated
leaves red, and golden yellow
save the spinning of his reel
He expertly timed a hit

Breed Between the Lines
They go home to see what's happening
Check on their reflection
Perhaps ponder a new direction
They make a selection
Hoping to be aroused
By something new espoused
Their fantasies are housed
In a very public list
Revisited when missed
Embraced, or kissed
Replaced, innocently
By words delicately
Deliciously
Savored
Freshly flavored
Unknowingly wavered
In a tranciful, fanciful trek
A chicken feed peck
Some a homemade wreck
This whorely affliction ...

Poets are Thieving Whores
Poets are thieving whores
men, and women, alike
Sucking from their victims
due to an uninspired psyche
No wonder poets burrow
festering, hibernate
No longer willing to put at risk
what others simulate
Cut off pickpocket hands
stick pens in their eyes
Poets are thieving whores
worthy of despise
Mayhap, overtly harsh
my brush, too liberal
For I've noticed a smear of paint
in my poems so far you know
My legs...

Comforting is Trying
I know that she is suffering
her well made plans gone awry
It's all there in her texts
wish I could hold her for this cry
Circumstance has us apart
not our hearts, it's only miles
I send words that make her laugh
give her temporary smiles
This misfortune that she bears
of emotion from a mix
I envision her lips a'quiver
it is nothing I can fix
It's just another hurdle
eventually she'll clear
Her determination awes me
and rubs off it would appear
I've never felt so grounded ...

Sow, and Sew
I debated whether poems
Are seeds planted in a row
Or stitches joining fabric
Sometimes randomly you know
Do they sprout tender seedlings
That often turn out wild
Or are they hand-me-downs
No longer sized for you child
Are poets really children
Speaking through the words
Trying to take flight
Nervous little birds
I imagine some are bold
Believe in every verse
Others tending fragments
Playing doctor, playing nurse
Does weather play a factor
When it dials up a mood

Body of Water
I steal from you poets
Like speeding, I know it
You sew, and I reap
It's not a secret I keep
because....
Bella puked in the kitchen
Conjured mess I clean while bitchin'
Now she's the queen on her chair
Licking, old, leg, hair....
I don't have a beach to wander
to leave footprints as I ponder
There's no mountains in my view
to inspire a poem, or two
The ocean isn't close
to take a deep, poetic dose
The trees spared by the city
are not a forest, that's a pity....
The giant factory to my...

Legacy
Give your collective heads a shake
Shoehorn them out of your arse
Greed is a deadly mistake
Grandchildren will suffer your farce
You'll leave them fancy cars
And a house too big to clean
But if they can't see the stars
What will your possessions mean
They'll mean you're a selfish twit
They'll mean you've gone to hell
Your legacy of destructive shit
Gives off a bitter smell
Your cars burn, or rust away
The house will be ransacked
The wild west will have its day
As outlaws plan attack
And...

Hid Inside
I conjure up my evil side
On a night when the moon looks angry
Left alone to my device
I let my mind flow free....
Thoughts of assault the first dark wade
The aggressor begins the spiral
But victimhood becomes me
Those images run viral
A leash is biting taunt
Forcible orders prevail
Blackmailed manipulation
As more join in the assail
Their sex is metamorphic
Their tone humiliation
Obedience becomes ingrained
Consistent condemnation
Their property gains value
Experience to feign ...

Walking Under the Influence
So these guys walk out of a bar
And wisely left their car
It was past two in the morning
As the moon hung low forlorning
They came upon an intersection
Along their staggering direction
With not a vehicle in sight
Crossed against the red stoplight
Suddenly a cruiser screeched
Stopped abruptly within reach
They gave the boys a talking
And charged them with jaywalking
In fairness to the ones in blue
One of the drunken fellows knew
A bylaw supervisor
Whom he claimed as his advisor
His...

Ark
A couple from each race boarded the ark
having been told they all must survive,
or they would all be killed
They were forced to work together,
to share, or die
Unfortunately,
it didn't rain long enough,
so nothing changed
