Curious Storefront

In a distant curious storefront
a haberdasher beckons invitingly
no items of noticeable usability found
nor confections of the finest sugar
opening with a simple slideshow ruse
fantasies to sustain every mortal soul
here minds wander on a daydreams pyre
and sanguine teenager titans gather
chasing comely Nereids in wicked games
dense loathsome serendipity knows no beginning
angst countenance etched on far too many faces
the trap is laid without any realization
a soul bargained in a tilted game
your fate is sealed for eternity

Butterfly

Vulnerable sapphire butterfly
triangulating on an odoriferous flower
alliance of peace between plant and bug
nothing to sublimate it from its pollen obsession
its delicate majesty enthralls your eyes
as its wings seem to enclose the flower petals
it finishes its work and moves onward in moments
my eyes linger on its blue wings in flight
and my spirits are lifted on its back

Turkey Run

Astonishment at the truthful superstition
all finally would end up as a steamy meal
with nobody to atone for their actions

A relational plan developed with much pizazz
they would extricate themselves from farm
sheathing themselves underground for safety

The plan however, went horribly wrong
a scout was not punctual in his return
focus distracted, the humans descended

A supposedly simple mission assigned
lead to a turkey massacre aftermath
inept espionage was the only blame

The turkey run had failed.

@shemah (imbecile), @Piratelover22 (listless), @Karee13 (insipid), @TrinaMb (volunteer), @petergan (blues), @JoeManna (Camera Fraud), @WorkingLori (blithe), @filigreegirl (phytoremediation), @booksaboutpeace (vilified), @inab2 (humility), @RemBeatZ (Memoriam), @Jemfyr (unnamed), @websitetoptip (theme), @rockalong (inconceivable), @manitisle (until), @shonie1966 (lover), @sinned24 (twitter)

handcuffed

Repeat Offender

Handcuffed, sitting listless an insipid imbecile
now unable to brag about your deed on Twitter
humility an inconceivable thought and emotion
feeling vilified for a simple unnamed crime
a volunteer with blithe indifference for laws
RAP sheet a list of failures and mistakes
contaminated dirt needing phytoremediation
recurring theme of corruption destined to repeat
professed lover of crime and chaos until being caught
only the jailhouse blues to keep you company now
no positive In Memoriam will decorate your grave stone
yet no regret exists for committing camera fraud

Parenting Troubles – Random Twitter Poem for Nov 4th

twitter poems
04 Nov 2009

Parenting Troubles is a poem about a parent who was resting or meditating only to be disturbed by children fighting and punishing the kids. This poem was inspired by my own life (joking, I think) and by the 17 random words (in blue) provided below:
@Piratelover22 (meditation), @blusol (grounded), @anefallarme (frustrated), @Zorlone (pandemonium), @TrinaMb (finally), @miriella (ecstatic), @jmbuckingham (longing), @JessicaGottlieb (shot), @Karee13 (vestal), @inab2 (dialectic), @shonie1966 (fallen), @AnnEvanston (disruptive), @purple_froggy (cast), @mikki_fit (theocracy), @KathrynVercillo (returning), @RemBeatZ (conjugated), @Jemfyr (bergamot)

Parenting Troubles

Frustrated, longing for peace and quiet
disruptive pandemonium draining sanity
ecstatic play turning into a raging battle
dialectic questioning spurs only retaliatory remarks
no vestal theocracy could decipher who started it
a sharp vicious glance shot, silencing the shouting
fallen behavior not tolerated, justice is metered
conjugated punishments cast, children are grounded
you then enter your bergamot oil scented chamber
finally returning to a state of meditation
