04-30-15 Wake Of The Flood

Drip drip drop
Drip drip drop

A leak becomes
An ocean

Water flowing
Into whirlpools

Swept away
Across the sea




 

04-29-15 Sasquatch On Madison Avenue

He appeared

From out of nowhere

On the southeast corner

Of Twenty Ninth Street

Crossing my path

In the afternoon 

He stopped to say hello

We talked all day about 

Mysteries of the universe

Before thanking me again

As he waived goodbye

Disappearing into thin air

    

 

04-28-15 The Screaming Child Inside Us

Sometimes I feel so angry
The rage takes over the page
And my demons come out
From deep down inside my soul

Kicking and screaming
Crying and exploding

Sometimes I can't control myself
But I get through it the right way
Because you are always responsible
For your own actions on this planet




   

04-27-15 Fires Are Burning Again

Destruction

The chaos and magnitude
They are throwing bottles
Police clash with rioters
Fires burning in the streets

Intensity flames crackle

Vehicles on fire
Smoke in the air
Panic mayhem

Violent message
Anarchy spreading

Blood on the sidewalk

Anger
Freedom
Justice





   

04-26-15 Springtime In The Universe

Sweet buds blossom
Fresh fragrant flowers
Freedom to explore space
High noon sunlight sky

Birds bees everything
Making honey for gold
Spring fever in full effect
Warm intoxication relief

Fireball rocketship attack
Frozen stars stolen at night
Cruise control asteroid flight
Unlimited potential for growth




   

04-25-15 Central Park Coyote Chase

On the prowl
Hunting you down
Hiding in the brush
Hot on our trail
Spotted trotting
In Lincoln Center
Taking a short cut
Faster than everyone
Evading police patrols
Strolling the streets
Moving on uptown




 

04-24-15 Alligator Stew For Breakfast

Yellow eyeballs organically blink
Floating green sea weed dream
Sharp teeth ripping flesh to shreds
Radioactive blood flows in the swamp

Swimming with gators
Down in the sewers
Under the subway
Eating pizza





 

04-23-15 Midtown Hustle

Golden skyscrapers
Growing up from the ground
Where we all run around
On top of the world




 

04-22-15 Lazy Morning Ritual

Early in the morning
I sit outside in the garden
Sipping my cup of coffee
Reading the newspaper
Watching birds hop around
Breathing cool fresh air
While orange sunshine
Warms my soul





   

04-21-15 The Swarm Before The Storm

All the bees are dying off
One by one under the sun
No more sweet honey nectar
But we need them for our survival




   

04-20-15 The Birds Are Watching

Ducks swim in the universe
Flocks of firebirds mock our every move
Snowbirds fly south for the winter
Pigeons are swarming everywhere

There's a falcon on our roof
And an eagle perched in it's nest
Across the woods up in trees
Flying free into the horizon





 

04-19-15 Next Generation Poets

Lay down your laser beams
Pick up your pens and notebooks
Join the band of fearless rebel troops
Figh for freedom in times of war
Set new fashion trends to impress
Collect the entire complete set
Read books from your library shelf
Turn the pages at the end of the day
Yellow paper so old and delicate
It smells like my Grandma's house
When the kids read the hot catalyst
Messages flow underground to crowds
Fresh voices of poetry speak aloud






   

04-18-15 The Path To Tranquility

Surrender to the sunshine
Sleep until noon on Tursday
Lazy days in the backyard
Sipping lemonade relaxed
Enjoy a good thing while it lasts




   

04-17-15 Astronaut Ice Cream

Strawberry cubes
Dehydrated sugar milk
Dry floating by

Space madness
Stuck inside the ship
Surrounded by aliens

We saw strange objects
Which could not be identified
Flying beneath the stars




 

04-16-15 Home Again At Last

The hand of grandeur
Delusions of the highest form
Only on empty alone together

Warm comforts of safety
Sleeping in a cold dark cave
Frozen in time while moving

Chicken and rice for dinner
Kung Fu fighting on television
Climbing the walls in the winter

Laughter and good health
Bad jokes talk turkey at the table
Family fights for the holidays





   

04-15-15 Light Hot Love Millenium Style

May the beauty of your heart
Shine a zillion times brighter
Than the lights in Times Square
On New Year's Rockin' Eve
At the turn of the century



   

04-14-15 Greetings From Zombie Town

Ghost wind
From the graveyard

Bitter chill
Bloody revenge

Remember my name
Never forget me

Kill in the darkness
Evil wins again

Stunned from beyond
Mystery whispers

Witch's wicked brew
Black magic medicine

Glowing red eyes
Fire blazing flames

Twist the hook
Spirits don't look back

04-13-15 Thirteen Ravens Rising

Frozen cold under a warm sun
Dark birds swarmed in slowly
Under the cover of sinister clouds
Black smoke rising above the city

The excruciating sting of death
Passes through life in a dance
Visiting late at night silently
Evil spirits haunt this location

The birds interpret the underworld
Voices from beyond this existence
Echoes calling out in endless cycles
Let your light shine again in the morning





 

04-12-15 When You Were Here With Me

When you were here with me
My life was complete
I felt safe and protected
We always connected

Now that you are gone
My life is broken
I feel so cold and alone
There's no one on the phone

I go to those same old places
Where we used to have good times
But without you nothing is the same
All I have now is memories




   

04-11-15 Radioactive Mutations From Mars

They've come to Earth
To eat our brains
To drink our blood
And it turns out
There was life on Mars
All this time in plain sight
Extraterrestrial mutant armies
Launching an invasion
From their hidden base
On the dark side of the moon





   

04-10-15 Clone This Poem

Once upon a time
We all lived
Happily ever after

But you've stolen
My heart

You've stolen
My soul

You've stolen
My words

You've stolen
My value

You've stolen
My work

You've stolen
My blood

You've stolen
My joy

You've stolen
My suffering

You've stolen
My imagination

You've stolen
My good name

You've stolen
My integrity

You've stolen
My robots

You've stolen
My memories

You've stolen
My poetry

04-09-15 Father And Son Haiku

Hanging out with Dad
Watching a good Yankees game
Laughing together



 

04-08-15 Modern Apocalypse

Cycles of the moon
Have us running
In circles

Fire in the cities
Rage and revenge
Torn apart

We have the power
To make a change
All together

Criminal destroyers
Have taken over
The world

Indestructible robots
Are no match
For mankind

We live in peace
To fight the wars
For survival





 

04-07-15 Nostalgic For Those Good Old Days

Those old days
Will never be back
Nothing will ever
Be the same again




   

04-06-15 Sinister Powers Seduce Absolutely

Something scary comes this way
Dark winds are blowing strong
Evil mind feeding on garbage
Savage impulses run wild again

Dumpster diving fun runners jump
A bummer for sure twisted backwards
They talk about you behind your back
Everyone hates you but not to your face




   

04-05-15 Sunday Night Baseball Poem

Sneaking onto that old baseball field
Through a hole in the fence onto the ball field
Collecting stones throwing home at the plate
Playing ball from dawn until dusk

Let's go out and have a catch
Throw the ball around all afternoon
Chasing the ghosts of yesterday
While living large in this moment






   

04-04-15 Saturday Night Shenanigans

This isn't night time
This is good time

This isn't sad time
This is happy time

This isn't bed time
This is fun time

This isn't sleepy time
This is crazy time




 

04-03-15 Electric Coffee Connections

We had so many of these awakenings
Over coffee cups and jelly doughnuts
Realizing the full potential of humanity
Before forgetting the worlds we discovered

Strange symmetrical shapes make perfect sense
All knowledge of everything is instantly revealed
This cartoon universe exists is all infinite forms
Unseen by the naked eye as we walk away blind


   

04-02-15 When Destiny Met Fate

Slow fog rolling through town
On an odd night to say the least
Numbers came in strange patterns
Destiny seemed to take over completely
Fate stepped in to align these circumstances
Everything was in sync and out of step
It was clearly all supposed to happen
A stroke of luck in the blink of an eye
The pizza tasted better than the pasta
It was a dark time for the freedom fighters
The clean fresh air smelled sweet to taste
Planets in the universe revolved and evolved
The stars told us what to do as the story unfolded
Then we all lived happily ever after




   

04-01-15 Don't Let April Showers Get You Down

Rainy days on our parade
Springtime allergies sneezing up
Bummed out gloomy afternoon
Then there is a break in the clouds

Beams of light blazing through

Orange sunshine ball of flame
Golden sunset paints the sky wild
Blue pink red purple fade to black
Tomorrow sees the dawn of a new day
