"anthropomorphize" poems
are the vagrant weeds, there on earth spread like greedy ********
never appreciated. Dandelions , to me,
are as gifted glorious,
as any violet or rose. and, fro'
to and believe just as an Orchids scent
on Easter day.
In Ecclesiastes ,
is told that mere breath,
just living, is meaningless.
everything just dies, all is meaningless.
I write thereby, an autobiography,
as if I were a ****
germinated not pretty, fragrant
vagabond, I analogize, anthropomorphize
into a moth ugly,
I try to be a Butterfly,
flutter beautifully, colorful.
But am I
I am
beautiful,
anyway
suffering, continuously
burned in the fire.

Once a year, I'm reminded here
on father's day, I have no father near.
My father could not be farther.
Actually, that's not true.
He's in one of the Southern counties of England
but it's distant enough to do.
He has two sons that he chose to have
and raise and support and endow
with all those cultural allegiance mechanisms
that I try to imagine somehow.
Painted their rooms,
changed their sheets
throwing a ball and stuff,
giving them a father that they can observe
doing his worst, best or enough.
I'm a secret secreting jealousy as a crime superfluous to needs
watching all you parented people
making pronouncements on your old Dad's deeds.
Bitter, sour grapes and cynicism are the silent names that come,
"Don't utter or mutter a single word of distain
keep our game a zero sum.
It's not our fault you had no dad
there's no need to rain on our parade!"
I know this poem is digging a hole
but who got you your first *****
Which, I guess gives me license to continue
to go on about the other problems that came
When I was a kid, they talked of a god
and "Father" was his name.
As if it wasn't challenging enough
there's a celestial, all-seeing eye.
I found daily life to be complex as it was
without attempting to anthropomorphize the sky.
Intimidated, un-encouraged without a male adult to hide behind,
I learned I was a ******* without belonging
while mother ******* raised their own kind.
But, I guess it's time to turn around
face the future face-on with the rest
I've two sons now, who know that they are wanted
Glad I typed this crap off my chest.
Sorry if I offended anyone with a dad
Just wanted to put words to my own case,
it was not written with any malice in mind
just like your annual slap round my face.

Come, come you avian darlings
You hawks, gulls, wrens and turkey vulchers
Lo! I have a sacred place
Where mountains are made
From unburnt debris longing to be ashes
Come, come you airborne circlers
Wafting up on heat streams unseen
Your kin abide on Jealousy Lane
Thinking you are satisfied. All your needs met
Without having to scour the ground
Those careless human benefactors, wry and grizzly
Poking fun at the sight
Of so many black shadows
Flies in swarms
Gnats attacking the pitcher’s mound in August in the swamp
Bees. Caressing the Queen. Delicate, Loving, Caring
How can we not anthropomorphize the cackle,
They arise out of curiosity
And stay out of satiation
When do the bats revivify the seeds of waste?
Why are there no jackals?
Who built the fence?
That glorious victory mound
Miccosukee burial ground
Green seeded with local grasses
Humbled with railroad trances
We, your dancing gymnopedies
Bow down.
Constant motion
In your service
Thank the wasteful trash purveyors,
May the dump rise high!

one day there won't be an edge kids
just a hole in the ground for the suicidal
do a bacteria count of your spring water
while tossing down a few useless conventions
why do anachronisms live so long die so hard
and cause no embarrassment he mused
musing had become his compulsion since
the holy ghost serpent handling incident
their medicine man pronounced him dead 7 times
his own ancestors sent crows to peck out his eyes
the fortune cookie antidote worked off and on
then hell ascended under his smoking feet
their vanguard toes now on fire
one thing is sure in the lust for truth
contemplation will not buy you serenity
but yes your life can be lived
without a prison cell oath of allegiance
if the universe demonstrates intention we’re it
the battle between sequence and simultaneity
may be good for another 10 squared generations
in this hypnotist hunch monger demolition derby
where a legendary and enormous ignorance
complicates matters for no apparent reason
well maybe for the following reason
all explanations have been oversimplified
in a panorama of benign efficiency
arise you yuppies and management level trainees
you have all the tools of cognition
you will ever need right in your head
every act begins with an estimate
let's put Humpty back together again
feel relevant that's all there is to it
since a monopoly on endless pleasure
is yet to be fully achieved and moreover
the Great War in Heaven is officially boring
and furthermore the iris is a sphincter
just thought you'd like to know
sorry a lung obstruction makes my voice whistle
one ******* homophone after another
making the undead radar in on me
my wings have been clipped so many times
they fall off at the sound of grinding teeth
thanks to the dogs of innuendo and pantomime
we anthropomorphize absolutely everything
no beanstalks on the horizon he noted
just a marsupial orphan with an Aladdin's lamp
charmed into the gesticulating arms of Venus
by the secret patty cake handshake
then a magic thing happened
there is no magic
only unknowing

Generating a ring
of bright waters, which
currently meanders, ponders,
and then streams - twitch
ching reflexively as flora
and fauna lap rich
text chard liquid
timelessly streaming, rippling,
and quivering pitch
sure risk gully confidently
babbling, bobbing, bubbling,
burbling loch a king
dominating his rill small niche
wade ding in the wings,
one doth espy, (sans oxbow lake)
analogous to an err
river rent sea sunned bay sic
wide whirled, whetted, webbed itch
perhaps berthed as a ******* creek,
and/or survivor of a ****
ling, which ordinary
happenstance attempts
to anthropomorphize
life giving resource hitch
ching various synonyms for water,
where sustenance to biosphere
can become flushed out
vis a vis via an ecological glitch
which dry dystopian scenario,
within the realm
of human activities circumstance
leaving most animals plants awash
bay sic lee lurching,
gasping, and choking
within an immense oceanic ditch
availing an alien landscape
awash with post apocalyptic
desiccated global cribbage
match, where the losing hand
would be a real *****
thus summarily, punctiliously, and merrily
describes the edifying whirlpool
life sike ****
where countless marine species will flounder
(literally like a fish out of water)
viz deadened ghyll.
