Eleven Poems, Notes

The Graveyard Zoo

As I was made to,
I make you too
See love with a moral view.

Not a moment true
Have I been to you,
Always I some kind of shrew.

In order, a rebellion to pursue,
A me against I coup
Long overdue.

Can I be split in two?
My ancestory rue,
What I was made to do?

Immorality's stench, "phew"!,
Or immortality's pew:
Brought to review.

Skin painted blue
A snake tattoo
Join a pirate crew.

What I has put us through!
What blustery wind blew
The kite of Winnie the Pooh!

A daily loo
Stuck to like glue
I was on your shoe.

Oh, a ghost can always go boo
And frighten a few
In the graveyard zoo.

To I, I say adieu.


What For

For goodness sake,
The Black Ships shuttered,
The whole damn ocean dried up.
The crews endless playing Dead Man's Poker
With black decks on the Black Decks.
Some humour in this somewhere?
Show me what for,  before she does.


Daybroken

Behind the black glass doors
An above ground tomb it is,
A mausaleum,
Where you and your siblings
Ghostly dance,
Where I bring you flowers
Of the singlular species you prefer-
The whole bouquet for you-
How you keep or distribute,
Your affairs.
Life is simple in the afterlife.
Nightly, from the living I come,
A wanton for ghosts!
And daybroken to the living I must return
Where my wits run out
And I'm halloweenish!


Poem Written While I'm Still In One Piece

I'm still in one piece.

Post Card

maybe, maybe you can find
an open souvenir stand,
or two, or three,
and find modern replica four
corner hats
the pre-columbian Peruvians wore,
maybe tocapu tunics too...
wishing I was there in Cuzco
and traveling the four corners of the Earth!

Regards to Mr. Potato Head


Journalism

It's an unfortunate condition
Aquired in misbegotten fashion...
Stay sober, my friends...


Homes

Oh, what goes with being Bear
Is Bears homes:
Polar Bears ice,
Koala Bears eucalyptus,
Panda Bears bamboo.


Refrain

Sunrise and the birds happily
Singing singing singing.


Wait And See

I met up with them at midnight
And they doubted my tale of sunrise
Having never seen the like
Being stalled at midnight.
I gave their second hand a push start
And said, "Now, wait and see."


Have An Answer

...anymore than I would expect
my own reflection in a mirror
to have  an answer...
wait...
what was the question you asked me?


C is for Christian

Oh, along the curving road
Through Sprintime green Sierra foothills,
Near Hornitos I'd say,
With my camera I paused
For the roadside flowers,
And Cow sauntered up
To the barbed wire fence
To look me over with those big brown eyes,
As Cows often do-
Bulls snort and stomp their feet-
And I thought to Cow,
As I often do,
Thankyou,
I'm no Hindu,
And we are both on the menu:
Small c is for cow,
And small c is for christian,
Fate's even mission.

Notes: things are getting crazier and crazier, and my comments to youtube comments in the swim...today I thought to get out of the pool...no youtube for me!...or googling for that matter, except to work on The Graveyard Zoo...I was back and forth to Rhyme Zone a lot!...thought to make stanzas using all the 'u' rhymes, then noted the polysylable ones, and realized I was overboard...I'm always overboard!
