08-31-15 Cookie Crumbles

Sprung a leak
Wrecked everything
Setback to move ahead
Here we go again

Broken down
Trapped in an elevator
Stalked by a psycho
More subway delays

Broken heart
Don't forget about me
Friends who manipulate
Take it to the talk shows

Stand up tall
Brush off all the dirt
Walk forward through fire
Rise above the bad




 

08-30-15 Entering Through The Exit

Backwards thinking transfer flash
To the past we travel through time
When the front door closes shut
It doesn't mean we are locked out
We can walk in through the back
And take care of our business




 

08-29-15 Numbers Are All Connected

Eight nine seven four
Lucky thirteen all day long
Double triple and in between
Subtracted division figured out
The mix is open digits again

Math machine calculating
Statistical equations solved
Counting places on the surface
Exponentially growing larger
It all adds up in the end

08-28-15 Full Moon Haiku

The crazies are out
Everyone has gone insane
Lock yourself inside




   

08-27-15 Dropping Couplets

Forces of evil are at work
But love will save the day

Set the bad energies aside
Forget about the negatives

Lightning strikes too close
Burned out all the appliances

Lucky ducks across the canal
Hot days like this kick my ass

These politicians can kiss my ass
Freedom comes with a heavy price




 

08-26-15 Nighttime On The Farm

Cows sleep standing up
Sheep count themselves
Pigs are slopping in mud
Spiders spin beautiful webs

Until the rooster rises with the sunshine
Darkness dissolves into colorful light
Crowing out loud at the break of dawn
COCK A DOODLE DOOOOOOOOO





 

08-25-15 Crazy Summers When We Were Kids

Green trees on the lawn
Play ball in the afternoon
We really don't care at all
Hot sunshine exists for us
Surrender to the high order
Under the cover of darkness
Circus flow at the box office
Wild like impossible maniacs
The payoff was worth the wait
We were kings for a day every day

08-24-15 Ghosts Of Destruction

Waiting in the dark
Wandering through
The night alive

Killing ships
Potato chips
Tornado trips
Reality slips

Talk in shadows
Whispers of doom
Evil growing unchecked





 

08-23-15 Intergalactic Evolution At The Speed Of Life

spotlight shines brightest
colors inform the mood
vibrations linger in the air
support from the silver moon

stars illuminated in darkness
twinkling a million miles away
echoes of the universe sparkle
somewhere there is new life




   

08-22-15 Woodland Creatures Under The Stars

Turn it all around
Leave troubles behind
Driving on the highway
Up into the mountains
Through the tall trees
Winding in the cities
Unwinding in the country
Spiders spinning webs
Monster mosquito bites
Back to mother nature




 

08-21-15 Fantastic Cherry Soda Bubbles

The wizard will be here
In solid gold dust clouds
Floating in nightmares

Three octopuss astronauts
Hanging out on the moon
Melted cheese all over space

I'd love to live in a land of chocolate
With strawberry gumdrop rainstorms
Where I can finally get some peace




   

08-20-15 Misunderstood Sasquatch

Bigfoot lays down the law
At the right time to get up
But he's misunderstood
And it's no good
If you don't believe

Bigfoot somehow eats beef jerky
He seems to like how it tastes
And when he raids your camp site
He'll go for the cookies
But he ain't no Wookiee





   

08-19-15 New York City Heatwave Rave

Silver disco boots
Hit song on the radio
Hot city summer heat
Trash strike blackout

Dirty on the dance floor
Silent art show rejects rejoice
Black and white TV shows
Never miss another Sunday

Nighttime fires burning
Steamy passion in the street
Love scenes playing out loud
Yankees win again




   

08-18-15 When You're In Our Shoes

strange new eyes
changing perspectives
back into collective minds
push to the front of the line

we do the best we can
struggle through the waves
time well tell the truth
if we did the right thing




 

08-17-15 Crab Shack Feast

Enjoying ten pounds
Of delicious blue crab
Fresh from the water
Tender delicate meat

Peppered with Old Bay seasoning

Cool refreshment
On a steamy hot day
With a twist of lemon
Dipped in melted butter




   

08-16-15 Hanging Tuff In The Groove

Worn out burned down
Half a step slower tonight
Raged yesterday away
Ragged from battle scars

Another chapter written

Refuse to go down
Fight until the end

08-15-15 Seafood Feast In Maryland Tonight

Wood grilled lobster
Lemon butter drippings
Prawns all year around
Seven days a week

All you can eat crabs
Drive through open all night
Sleep it all away tomorrow
Old bay seasoning is perfect

Creamy dreams in freshness sweet
Fast food junk pile in new transitions
Salty seas of sensational delight fight
Seafood feast in Maryland tonight



 

08-14-15 Journey To The Forbidden Planet

Running around downtown
Like amazing super heroes
Chasing comic book dreams
In a wild cartoon fantasy land
Spending an entire paycheck
On vintage action figures




   

08-13-15 Shakedown Treats

Starving crush of forgiving sciences
New moon in bloom over June flowers
Battle power paranoia train wreck flick
Meltdown clown stalking pure silk drip
Back door floor plan blood drive alive
Weekend flip paycho paycheck driver
Grandstand soap box gold strip road trip
Disco lightship gun show smoke job
Return to the days when we were electric





   

08-12-15 Homesick Summer Night

Make a wish for you
I miss you back home

Stay awake to kiss me goodnight
I'll read you a story or two if you like

Happy to know you are safe and sound
While I am unbound wishing I was with you




 

08-11-15 Trips On Rocket Ships

faces in the crowd
melt away into memories
morphing into nothing
dancing all night long
bathed in illumination
discovering fancy colors
life will never be the same



 

08-10-15 Escape From The Thrill Of Paradise

Running away from all the stress

Killing me every minute of the day

Flipping out into a twisted jungle

Swagger swinging in your face

Piña colada tropical sunrise sugar sweet

Calm tranquility in mind body soul spirit

Relaxing as the poison takes over everything 

Beauty is evil in disguise waiting for darkness

Stand up in the incredible world tomorrow 

Focusing clear on the current core issues 

Magnetic messages lost in the translation

Find your way back home again to safety 

    

08-09-15 Those Rarities You Never See

Flowers slow down
Be careful of that train
Maybe we'll see ducks
Astronauts fly to Mars
They can't touch the sea
Don't get lost in the woods
They taste so good for lunch
We will show up anytime
The fun will never end



   

08-08-15 A Taste Of Nostalgia

Old times echo forever
Happy memories of laughter
Does anybody remember laughter

Generations pass by agelessly again
Photographs of our beloved ancestors
Remember those who exist in pictures

Details remain in the background
Transporting us to simpler days
We are the ones who are left behind




   

08-07-15 Golden Warriors

A badge of honor
Wounded forever
Always a reminder
Already a superhero
Time will heal the rest





   

08-06-15 When Lions Ruled The Jungle

Illegal vampire kisses
On Saturday afternoon

Triumphant elephant
Walking all over you

A silver snake in the grass
The moon is fast asleep

In a pretend world of fantasy
Illusion is what keeps me here





   

08-05-15 Eagles Will Fly Again

Why can't eagles fly
Every day in our sky
When evil dies alive
The eagles will thrive




   

08-04-15 Blowing Kisses Into The Universe

Wishing we were young again
To the moon and back to Earth
Sail away on the starlight express
Throw pop rocks into a sea of syrup
Jump across the sky on fire tonight
Fantasy cartoons transform into light
Falling in love out beyond the sun
Close your eyes and try to relax




   

08-03-15 Vampire Devils On Fourteenth Street

Strange beasts shift in the night

Evil lurking on a dead end prowl

Shivers in a cold foggy nightmare

Terrors jolt fear into our hearts

Bloodlust thirsty after midnight

Werewolves howl out in Union Square

Demons dance to an unnatural rhythm

As the city never sleeps away the moon

Electric beauty of the sunrise shines

In golden tones of poison radiation

Their pale skin burned to a crisp

This was the end of the vampires

    

08-02-15 Robotic Invaders From Outer Space

They were programmed
For total destruction here
To burn down all the trees
To crush the cities on the planet
To force the extinction of all life

But we beat the robot invaders
With the power of our human heart
And now we live on to celebrate
The independence of all mankind





   

08-01-15 Music Of Our Lives

those old songs
were the soundtrack
to the last days
of New York
as we knew it
