Long Poems About Stephen King
#StephenKing
[ SK ] The night is dark and full of terrors
Shelter from the elements
and shelves upon shelves
of fresh food and beverages
well within expiration date . . .
Other than perhaps toilet paper
one would think nothing else
would be necessary for survival
but one would be wrong
While enduring any storm
in the company of a few
within the many who can't see
beyond their own personal mists

[ CC ] [ SK ] The Centers cannot hold
Secretly engineered in wing opposite of Prevention
a communicable that could never be Control-led
99.4% likelihood of fatality
the Centers for Disease cannot hold
Judge, jury, executioner in unnatural selection
Now rampant ruthless, once most common'ly cold
Sweeping through populace, normal flu we're told
the Centers for Disease cannot hold
Widening in gyre scope, eradicating hope
in takedown of anyone from President to Pope! ...

[ SK ] The Hollowed Children
Due to the silent war we're winning
The world continues in its spinning
The world continues in its spinning
The world continues in its spinning
Due to the silent war we're waging
the ends always justify the means
Simple cogs engaging
complex machines
is what you are
In service to
your country
Thanks you
for your heroic efforts
We do
the dirty job
No one wants

SOMETIMES DEAD IS BETTER
There is a place beyond the cringe of sanity
At the end of the bleakest path when you're too far gone
A graphic reminder of remains of families
Broken with dearly departed names chiseled on tombstones
I swear I can't go on like this
Cause the terror in my eyes show me
The dead look reflecting beside me
Don't judge me on my last letter
Because sometimes
Sometimes
DEAD IS BETTER
She had such a merciful heart
I traded it for a hellbound one
Now revived in the sour ground
To kill everything beneath the...

[ SK ] Ghosts?
There's no such thing
Hey, it's just my opinion
Though having read any books
of mine based on numerous
"supposed" haunted locations
along good ole Route 66
you'd already know
that's how I roll
And by ghosts, I mean lost souls
dearly departed from their bodies
still wandering this mortal coil
But, just hear me out for a moment;
what if there are places in this world ...

[ SK ] different day same shit
happens to the best of us
Bucko, while the rest of the world
is driving their Chevrolets
shopping at Wal-Mart and
watching Friends on TV
boarding trains of thought
with their own carry on baggage
oblivious of the circumstances
you struggle to escape
---nothing and I mean
NOTHING is allowed in or out
through the perimeter
Give it up
---call it quits---
hands in the airspace;
you're surrounded
...

[ SK ] Rite Of Passage
Misfortune And Glory
You could say Ray Brower ended up
the only true celebrity that weekend
---raised wrong side of tracks, us four
nobodies hoped to be someone different
seasons further down the line
Right Under Their Noses
It was those goddamn pennies
Vern buried! Several dollars worth
in a mason jar under his front porch;
digging for the buried treasure, he
unearthed whereabouts of the body

[ SK ] red
From a bucket of warm blood
childhood innocence shed
Wounds flushed clean
with mean adrenaline
SHOCK!
Feeling sick---
End of being Queen
After hush ensues
L A U G H T E R !
igniting her fuse
Toxic
rage spills over her dam-ned self
has her sea-ing only

[ SK ] Carried Away
So, yeah
I guess we got a little
carried away
It was supposed to be a funny prank
a way to say, Thank you
for being such a good sport
I myself was shocked when
electrocuted, the principal
as well as the King and Queen's
Court went up in flames
No sense in pointing fingers
or naming names
because most everyone involved ...

[ SK ] Clowning Around
When it rains
in the town of Derry
it pours
---flooded streets
awash with paper sailing ships
and a merry assortment of toys
swallowed by sidewalk drains
on field trips destined for
the sewer
Does anyone notice
laughter lately is dwindling
as the number of kids playing
in the neighborhood
seems to be getting fewer? ...

[ SK ] Prisoners of War
Old
sick
tired
Past its shelf date
Evil
unexpired
forced out of retirement
back-drafted into service
retro-fitted with a uniform
not meant for all
partnered up in a ballroom
resuming the dance
in tune with keys of Double S
Teacher, captured
an unwilling participant
hesitant to relive historic darkness
... for now

[ SK ] Welcome to Castle Rock
Small Town, Maine
Fulfilling consumer need
dealing antiquities up the block
---taking away each ache and pain
with a granting of earthly desire
You only need do me a favor;
be a willing stooge for hire
A harmless prank or two
What ... or should I ask, who
could it possibly harm?
I don't make the rules
choosing only to suffer fools
eager to pay fees for the luster
and charm of these things
too...
