Patagonian poems on Hello Poetry

D Eric Pettigrew Mar 2016

Lying under a Patagonian sky
The silence is loud
A few gauchos happen by
A crowd
The wind sings
As the world passes by.

Distant fields of snow
Paint patterns on peaks
While clouds lay wispy blankets
On glaciers far below

Mother Nature speaks

A lingua franca
Time and space
The whispering of grass
In an empty place.

Estancia Nibepo Aike, January 2011

Lost for words May 2014

Life 0-100

The goo-goo gaggle gobble grammar
New eggs standing in a roe
Alphabetting the Blurb is Cuckoo
School kid robots on the go
Fopdoodles questing for an ology
Dilly-dally on Patagonian trek
Mead-merry escalators of industry,
Or dudes who lakh in debt?
A billion ****** bridegrooms
In taffeta take-away
Cherry-picking for the species
From the matrix DNA
Muggles meet at midlife
For a Royal English tea
Swapping apps for homemade yogurt
Just a wee bit too PC
And so the dames riddle their speechcraft
On the doublespeak roundabout
Before Alzheimer's wicked edit
Skirts the bone-house bounders **out

Look at me! Bejesus! Flattened-plane-Earth's-marginally-Catholical mommy Mary: madre de Holy Princely Rex Christus Jesus, please
see: My troubled Kent babified doll Marie just deliberately infected
me with the ravenously-bacterial, cutaneous diphtheria that she got
in an ***** den hovel in filthy, broken-down Constantine, Algeria.**
Marushka Anya the pull along the thighs brings the space into view
of the maternal honeycomb where-from, your Mother, emerged you
in '98, upon no-man's Patagonian land that skirts Chile & Argentina
where no Java maids milk foal ******* at coal tipples in Micronesia

Kairotic Cairotic ******

The transience of everything
Like tears lost in rain
When breath becomes air
Moraccan train to Spain

3000 years of Egyptian history
A few pyramids in sand
Ethiopia
Tanzanian band

Dark Star Safari
Old Patagonian Express
Her apartment in Istanbul
She quietly gets undressed

I'm a man of many obsessions
Decades, driving nights
3 brown libraries
2 green lights

Mr. Spock kites

A citizen is under no obligation to address an elected official as "your honor" as the U.S. is not under a monarchical government.
