The forest man
He had bought a cabin in the woods near a lake
he planned to go there after his divorce
with no demand on his time, life would be simpler
first of all, he needed a dog, the one he had
was a poodle, his ex-wife could take the mooch
he needed a strong dog that could feed itself
catching rabbits in the glen
The cabin only had one room, a big room he could
make a kitchen in a corner, for the he needed
a hand pump and dig a Hole for a cisterna.
bedroom and living room together was ok, he had
a sofa bed but needed...

Second Wind
I’m sweating letters from my pores
Must keep up my pace in these Napo wars
I’ve been through hunger strikes and sores
To brain freezes both in and outdoors
I put meals on wheels on speed dial
My wife’s cooking deserves a trial
Mars and Venus are out of alignment
I can barely continue this assignment
Someone, please force me to stop
Or at least take the reigns and make it a co-op
I can’t feel my fingers anymore
This verbiage stew is hard to ignore
My stomach growls
This persistence howls
My light bill’s growing

Drawing Circles
The puddles I engorge
Falsify my course of action
Cemented in the past they forge
A permanent reminder of my traction
Daily struggles I juggle
While acrobatically walking the line
Watching every step for trouble
I ensure I don’t recline
Careful of my existence
I keep track of every foot
Looking back to calculate the distance
As if it were residual output
Pushing through the crowd of eyes
I slowly begin to realize
The world is backward and full of lies
Napo, Napo 21 surely flies
March drums...

As I lay crying
Awoke, with pressure in my head,
Brain felt like balloon, pink 'n' red.
As clichèt as it sounds,
It'll POP 'n' explode rounds.
a continual pump action,
Cranium capacity, full,
No more room, even a fraction,
Cracking open the skull.
Eleven hours, most of the day,
Head'll go BOOM, so clichèt.
The very next day I wake up,
Deep in ocean, like U-boat, sub.
Surface top, is baseline,
Emotions dive 'n' decline.
Periscope reluctant to raise,
Unable to see above top. ...

Wounds May Heal but Scars Run Deep
I used to recall
How “empathy” felt
Spring was in my heart without fall
Winter wrapped around my belt
Summer was my season
Free of hatred’s treason
My love became a blossomed rose bed
Petaled with bouquets free of vines
Butterflies haloed about my head
My personality had no confines
The sun was free to shine
While the rain would troll away
Robins nested where I’d lay
As their songs
Delightfully encouraged my hammock to sway
Until that dark and stormy day
When you introduced me to your wrongs

I'm At Home
Endlessly I sought the lines of a poet’s verse
Writing day and night in a sheltered hearse
My pen was the sanctity that kept the beasts away
It littered my cardboard in a hieroglyphic display
I wrote on the back of my world and tucked it far within its mind
My residence was pillar to post and sometimes an inadequate find
I lassoed the moons dimmest rays of light
Rebuking fell creatures of the night
Wild and free was my imagination
Creative liberty my motivation
I dug through landfills of words
Feasting off the worms of early birds

Ooohhh Happy Day
Ooohhh happy day
My Super Nintendo
Arrived today
After four weeks of waiting
I’m finally celebrating
What a beautiful day
For some childhood advocating
I bought the classics back
Now it’s time for me to attack
Mortal Kombat and Streetfighter
Were always my personal igniter
I played them so much as a kid
You’d think they fell off the grid
Everything works as if it were new
I don’t know about you
But I’m a big kid at heart
Who can turn poetry into art
I’m an old man gamer a la carte
And I can’t...

Lost
My eyes became balloons
When I targeted the prize
My heart grew the size of moons
Kidnapping my breath like a child
On the brink to become baptized
My childhood flashed
In brief moments of elation
So many smiles cracked my face
Surrounded by the annoyance
Of delivery vexation
The price was right
Avoiding a crater in my wallet
Though my childhood is priceless
I was more than happy to swallow it
Daydreams and dreams at night
Playing hooky for just a bite
Tournaments with friends...

Red Light, Green Light, Poetry All Night
Red light
Greenlight
Poetry all night
Wee hours in the morning
My poetry’s still calling
Sun up
Sundown
Chin-up
Pen down
Nourishment is optional
Sleep is inoperable
Blisters are the game
SOTJ’s my name
Syllables and verbage soup
Cigarettes and coffee loop
Hemorrhage homage headaches
Nonstop poetical sweepstakes
Inspiration on the fritz
Number and alphabetical blitz
Words behind eyelids
Self-destructive bids
Napo in my dreams
Napo in my screams
Napo in my blood

YouTube and Chris Hodge
YouTube and Chis Hodge
It came as a surprise to me that Chris Hodge
has been banned on YouTube, a man of knowledge
worth listening to
He is an honest intellectual; as such, it is hard
not to be critical of the Jewish negative influence
in the world we inhabit
Of course, I see on Facebook that I have become
skeptical of, the wiseman Chomsky often appears
his criticism of Israel doesn't plow a deep furrow
The Iranian attack on Israel was a warning
as they couldn't let the Israelis bomb their
embassy go unnoticed.

Window Shopping
You seem to enjoy
Pulling away at my strings
A puppet master without employ
Sea-sawing on my impulses as the pendulum swings
You mock at my suffrage
From the refuge of your store
Granting immunity to my orderlies’ roughage
Discouraging my efforts for more
You sit on my ego
Fly fishing my impatience
Breaking and entering is illegal
So I’m straight jacketing my patients
Childhood memories rage
Throwing popcorn from the rear seats of the glass
So many awesome titles rumble in the beat em’ up stage
Finally I’m not...

Your sole purpose for existence
Was derailed through our persistence
Humanities resistance
Will always allow us coexistence
Even if there’s a six-foot distance
There will never be a difference
You’re a Petri dish of destruction
A lab rat for mass production
A parasite of ignorant construction
A fuckin leech for black deduction
2020’s introduction
To our government’s induction
You’re the face for terrorism’s fear
An unnegotiable nightmare
A shit stain on societies mirror
Your motives couldn’t have been much...
