SONNET TRIBUTE: KATIE ROBSON
Sag my corpse in 32 degree weather through the city of God where paraplegics dream of running. “Oh Rhodesian mercenary,” humble my soul again like in C(hi)(ca)ongo. But remember The revolution starts on my mama’s bed at half past six. So excuse me while I smoke my drink like a Brooklyn Leftist from the 40’s tramples burning cigarettes on cold pavements where codeine and Sprite make any Tuesday fabulous because we already suffered from (and for) the goods of mankind. But before you read me the history of Hatchepsut; I learned the art of man within the confines of FCC regulations after my ‘Pa threw ******* out the window and made life in the cell not mundane by telephoning philosophical-entendres     that tomorrow never happened. He too was from the blood of the ancestors whose bodies were charred on as goods— whose children now char their bodies with the goods of the goddess of Victory— the official trademark for the lost Exodus—the blood and blue moribund— sagging pyrrhic victories in 32 degree weather as homage to their charred ghost (fore)fathers who preyed to the city of God for bread

Portrait of a milk carton as a young adult

Gnome in my yard
alone . strong, wise, driven, loyal. He has lived and loved, and chosen to be alone until something better comes along. something more than physical love. He found what he was looking for. Her soul was vibrant and beautiful; a goddess muse. She kissed him and knew it not; her naked words and firm young flesh excited him ... his wealth of wisdom and experience mocked him for falling in love with a soul ... a forbidden one at that. The old man had a need to feed, she was a hungry young goddess needing to be fed. Where is her champion? Who cares for this young sprite? Who dries her tears and comforts her throughout the night? He reminded himself again that it was only her soul, but still, he touched himself... saying her name to make it a little more real, "Candace," he whispered. Then he listened ... just in case. Just in case she whispered back.

Candace ...
In rows like crumpled paper set, The way one might design a brooch, There sets a sparkle down so purely Capital, beyond reproach and sure She is the blackest flea who sits Upon an old green dog, now should You query, her name's a pond. In Gaelic It's pronounced: Baile Átha Cliath— But in Irish she's plain, mightily named, Dublin. Where broods the dove, linnet And swan. Now take them pi'jons, they got Dank habits and linnets lament the silent Stones. Sure, the goose gave out and took To the air, but the swans, they've landed, To roost, enchanted as 'Children of Lir,' And so becomes a changeling child's Fair city, for in her anointed proximity, Gracious white birds do bathe and molt, Supplied as I can tell, she looks black- Pooled in clusters, long side her creases. Stout nectar flows in near every nook And cranny, but yer man, he's never Busy, that malty fish, daftly avoids, Swimming spirals round like buggies Do on petals, he'd rather grace gardens By drinking their dew. O Dublin town, She wends her ways and rows her houses Round-a-bout on cobbled shores in tribute To sprite, deary and fey, Anna Livia— Who like a stem of blood, stabs right To the heart of Dublin Bay— and proud As a crowned thorny, who once had reeked, She's bloomed large, into one grandeous Beauty, like a céilí so finely fiddled— A sandy, spirited, bombastic beach- Flower, she is, a flag so fitting upon The doons. In dream, I flocked to her Like the wild geese and saw her coy'd Repose and there I spied, from mackerel Skies— one monstrous, Irish rose!

Little shadows, little shadows Dancing on the chamber wall, While I sit beside the hearthstone Where the red flames rise and fall. Caps and nightgowns, caps and nightgowns, My three antic shadows wear; And no sound they make in playing, For the six small feet are bare. Dancing gayly, dancing gayly, To and fro all together, Like a family of daisies Blown about in windy weather; Nimble fairies, nimble fairies, Playing pranks in the warm glow, While I sing the nursery ditties Childish phantoms love and know. Now what happens, now what happens? One small shadow's tumbled down: I can see it on the carpet Softly rubbing its hurt crown. No one whimpers, no one whimpers; A brave-hearted sprite is this: See! the others offer comfort In a silent, shadowy kiss. Hush! they're creeping; hush! they're creeping, Up about my rocking-chair: I can feel their loving fingers Clasp my neck and touch my hair. Little shadows, little shadows, Take me captive, hold me tight, As they climb and cling and whisper, "Mother dear, good night! good night!"

From The Short Story Shadow-Children
I become more erudite at night. I feel a sprite within me ignite words, by candlelight I feel the old masters lift their quills, place nib in ink and nib to paper. I invite their words and imagery to suffuse me, use me in this modern world. Make new what once was old. Where nib would glide I touch my screen, watch avidly as sentences appear, magic symbols transformed to meaning, like runic stones of old, or bones thrown for reading. My words by candlelight enfold and embrace me, in the knowing language of the poets, bards and storytellers. Tonight, I delight at my copywrite scribed by candlelight.

"Good morning, sir" Said the cashier, "Can I get your order?" The man took his wallet out and said "Yes, I would like a large coke, large fries and a double cheeseburger" The cashier punched in his order Took large cup and filled it with soft drink The machine showed the total amount and the man put the cash on the table within a blink Everything went smooth so far as the man took his food and went to a table Now it was a lady's turn, as she was next in line I had a good day, and this was the point where it went unstable The cashier asked her in a polite manner "Good morning ma'am. Can I take your order" I was in great shocked with the lady's answer. "Yes, uhmmm... I'll have an uhmmmm... hmmmm... a friieeesss... a coke... uhmmm... wait! I'll have Sprite instead... aaaannddd... a cheeseburger..." And she smiled but before the cashier could register the order "On second thought, I'll have a Big Mac instead" At first I kept my cool, breathe... breathe I was still alright then, still having a chill head When It was time to pay up, she looked at the machine It was 27 bucks and a 60 cents, it was written in blue She took her bag, put it in the table And started searching for her wallet, I hope she finds her brain too I tapped her in the shoulder gently in the shoulder and said: "WHAT THE **** YOU'VE BEEN STANDING HERE FOR FIVE MINUTES AND YOU HAVEN'T DECIDED WHAT WILL YOU ORDER??? EVEN JUST FOR A MINUTE, LITERALLY A MINUTE, A MINUTE OF WAITING, WERE YOU THINKING YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE IN LINE? HAVEN'T YOU EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT ON THE WAY HERE?! AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO NEED SOME CASH, YOU HAVEN'T PREPARED YOUR WALLET YET? WHAT DID YOU THINK, THE MOMENT YOU WILL PAY UP YOUR WALLET WILL MAGICALLY APPEAR? THERE'S PEOPLE BEHIND YOU, YOU KNOW HUNGRY AND WAITING FOR SOME YOU STUPID DUMB TIME WASTING **** I left and bought some take out from other place instead.

Damsels of distress, Wings of vivid crests. All elegant in a romance. Spin my Fairy. Tilt your head. Sprinkle fairy dust, To ressurect the dead. The dead who don't dance. Who stand in awe of your crest. Spin my Fairy, Recruit the rest. Vivid streams, Violet strings. Strung on thy lute of play. Spin my Fairy, Sing your song. Of Vibrance. Of Honor. Of love. Spin now, Your wings beautifully carved. As a monarch or a sprite. You give life to the crowd. Elegance above Royalty. Love above Lust. Play your reverend strings. Of Story Springs. Spin my Fairy, Flare those vivid wings. You are the final act. Praise your Lute of Rings.

Spin my Fairy (Final)
Hither, hither, from thy home, Airy sprite, I bid thee come! Born of roses, fed on dew, Charms and potions canst thou brew? Bring me here, with elfin speed, The fragrant philter which I need. Make it sweet and swift and strong, Spirit, answer now my song! * * * * * Hither I come, From my airy home, Afar in the silver moon. Take the magic spell, And use it well, Or its power will vanish soon!

Thomas creek keeps moving This water gives way to childhood play. I think this place remembers me. Old gravel road, potholes lined in Oregon ferns The same ones that tickled my knees when I was as young as three I think they remember me Lazy light filters down to green Earth, mud and skipping rocks Serve as old novelties and Time ticking clocks. The only place left That remembers me. vast enough to hold my past. The only green enough that last Fountain of youth that makes me sprite Jump into a past with such delight Thanks for holding on. Stagnate nostalgia Remembering skinned knees Deep breaths, cold water that calmed dread youth to living all grown up some things remain the same... Do you remember my name? Do you remember me?

Lettuce is love, lettuce is life. You walked up to McDonald's and ordered a mcdouble I was behind you in line, looking for some trouble I said, "excuse me sir, you know mcdoubles don't have lettuce, right?" He said, "yes, but I can't eat lettuce at this time of night" I was getting angry at this point, not gonna lie I was like, "come on buddy give it a try" He started backing away, a little intimidated The farther away he went, the more I felt the hatred How can he not want lettuce? This dude's real close to getting fought The cashier interrupted my thought "I can get who's next in line" I said, "cool, I'll take a McChicken, it's a bite of heaven Actually I take that back, I want eleven" You already know i didn't buy them for the chicken I bought them for the lettuce, it's tasty finger lickin' The cashier says "is that all I can get you tonight?" I turned back to her said "naw, gimme a medium Sprite" Got my drink and my McChickens, then tried find this guy to fight He's at a table munching on his mcdouble by himself I caught him looking enviously at my McChicken, lettuce spewing out health I sat down at the booth beside him Told him how I despise him For not getting lettuce, how could one be so arrogant? I threw a punch to his face hard enough to leave a dent He yelled out in pain, tryna run away The cashier notified me that the police were on their way My fate was inevitable, but I did it for lettuce It's been 3 years now, been locked up ever since Lettuce makes me happier than ever, it's my only friend My favorite thing in the world, nothing and no one can contend Moral of this story: get lettuce on your sandwich, Unless you wanna go to mcdonalds and end up with a bandage I can finally conclude, after this long strife Lettuce is love, lettuce is life.

470: Sweet Darkest Rose
So many people into soft drinks think soda is soda It’s a general subtle to that order However, there is a feud going on between Sprite and Coke It may sound like a joke You might even choke But to Sprite they have appeal Then there’s Coke who feel they are for real Pull out your straws and open a bottle of Coke and Sprite Let the soda challenge begin The texture of Sprite in the see thru glass with its lemon and lime The Coke having its own ingredients with assorted flavor combined However with every pour It is the every soda fizz that is galore Sprite says, “They have the taste that dazzles the mind” Well Coke responds with, “We have been around since time” The Coke’s story centered around some Poplar Bears Well Sprite in that instance can’t compare Sprite is determined to have the customer obey their thirst That’s all that matters when doing it first Well this challenge is really hard to say But to this poet that is ok Sprite and Coke both have good taste Surely I am not going to spend time and make waste So what if Sprite is clear and Coke is dark Both have been around and made their mark This soda challenge is done It was a matter in thinking soft drink fun.

THE COKE AND SPRITE FEUD
she used to be okay. always a smile on her face and she talked with a sweet voice, which is something i don't want to under state, and she never really cared that she was 40 pounds overweight. but now as she lays on the beach and no boys and no girls look her way she feels invisible, even while she dreams of being able to tell her parents that she might be gay. her parents talk about her figure and how she'll never compare to how her sister looked when she was her age. thin, toned legs and a stomach with abs. after all, who wants to date a girl with flabs? she has a blog dedicated to the thin girls who make her feel so bad, it makes her feel less, it makes her feel sad. if only she counted calories and if only she could fit in that size two, maybe she's be the perfect daughter that her parents wish they knew. but even as she drinks a sprite and takes all her bites in spite she knows that if she was skinny then everything would be alright. all she needs a push and a pro ana friend and maybe she can be the perfect daughter again. She can't like girls and she must skip dinner, by the end of the year her bones and boyfriend will show that she is a winner. -r.a.

The Perfect Daughter
I know this vampire Clarence, He is a hippy vamp, He never wears dark cloaks, Or wanders like a ***** This ghoul is non confomist, His clothes are sunshine bright, His fingernails are azure blue, His favourite drink is sprite. His blood comes from the blood banks, He files his fangs twice weekly, His friends are *** head hippies, And , ****** he sleeps so sweetly. He enjoys sleepovers with his girlie friends, And loves to bathe in milk, His coffin looks more like a scoobydoo van, All covered with pink silk. Im looking forward to halloween, His parties are the best, We boogie, all liquered up, So next day, we can rest.

hippy ghoul
In the coffin lay your body silent and still As with wax, sealed were your eyes Bared of all passion, pain and strain You were at rest, tranquil was your face When your body was lowered into the grave Tears trickled from our eyes like streams of blood We stood orphaned beside the newly dug up pit Knowing quite well that the days of glory have fled! When you left, leaving in us a contused wound We hoped time would heal the **** quite soon But with every passing day you’re sorely missed Especially when our life goes out of tune At times when I feel lonesome with none to care In weariness I search you among the stars of the sky When my heart twitches with an unknown pain To your comforting presence, my mind does fly Sometimes I envision you coming into my room Smiling that sweet smile in the dead of the night But soon I realize it is only a fleeting vision And from my sight, you vanish like an ethereal sprite Rambling through the avenues of vanished years We remember your sweet assurance, tender care n’ love But never will we have the joy of having them again For you flew into the horizon like a gentle dove Mom, your presence my tiny world once filled With that old bygone past how I was content A treasure of sweet memories still I do hold Now your eternal absence, how deeply I lament Oh Mother, though you are dead and gone Our love for you is inscribed deep in our hearts Which nothing can erase or erode and will last Until finally from our body, life silently departs!

I Still Remember !
In the coffin lay your body silent and still As with wax, sealed were your eyes Bared of all passion, pain and strain You were at rest, tranquil was your face When your body was lowered into the grave Tears trickled from our eyes like streams of blood We stood orphaned beside the newly dug up pit Knowing quite well that the days of glory have fled! When you left, leaving in us a contused wound We hoped time would heal the **** quite soon But with every passing day you’re sorely missed Especially when our life goes out of tune At times when I feel lonesome with none to care In weariness I search you among the stars of the sky When my heart twitches with an unknown pain To your comforting presence, my mind does fly Sometimes I envision you coming into my room Smiling that sweet smile in the dead of the night But soon I realize it is only a fleeting vision And from my sight, you vanish like an ethereal sprite Rambling through the avenues of vanished years We remember your sweet assurance, tender care n’ love But never will we have the joy of having them again For you flew into the horizon like a gentle dove Mom, your presence my tiny world once filled With that old bygone past how I was content A treasure of sweet memories still I do hold Now your eternal absence, how deeply I lament Oh Mother, though you are dead and gone Our love for you is inscribed deep in our hearts Which nothing can erase or erode and will last Until finally from our body, life silently departs!

People come in and out Some to never be seen again Coke Asado rojo Frijoles People come in and out Asking if their food is done Yelling at you because the wanted cheese Some are nice Other are greedy Not always leaving a tip People come in and out Some to never be seen again Sprite Nopales Barbacoa Time goes by and food keeps coming out Here so many difrent people Who come and go Just leaving their face engraved in your mind To some night be seen again in your dreams

In rows like crumpled paper set, The way one might design a brooch, There sets a sparkle down so purely Capital, beyond reproach and sure She is the blackest flea who sits Upon an old green dog, now should You query, her name's a pond. In Gaelic It's pronounced: Baile Átha Cliath— But in Irish she's plain, mightily named, Dublin. Where broods the dove, linnet And swan. Now take them pi'jons, they got Dank habits and linnets lament the silent Stones. Sure, the goose gave out and took To the air, but the swans, they've landed, To roost, enchanted as 'Children of Lir,' And so becomes a changeling child's Fair city, for in her anointed proximity, Gracious white birds do bathe and molt, Supplied as I can tell, she looks black- Pooled in clusters, long side her creases. Stout nectar flows in near every nook And cranny, but yer man, he's never Busy, that malty fish, daftly avoids, Swimming spirals round like buggies Do on petals, he'd rather grace gardens By drinking their dew. O Dublin town, She wends her ways and rows her houses Round-a-bout on cobbled shores in tribute To sprite, deary and fey, Anna Livia— Who like a stem of blood, stabs right To the heart of Dublin Bay— and proud As a crowned thorny, who once had reeked, She's bloomed large, into one grandeous Beauty, like a céilí so finely fiddled— A sandy, spirited, bombastic beach- Flower, she is, a flag so fitting upon The doons. In dream, I flocked to her Like the wild geese and saw her coy'd Repose and there I spied, from mackerel Skies— one monstrous, Irish rose!

Nana thinks the magazine is the devil. “THE PEOPLE WHO DREW THE BLESSED ****** MOTHER OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST IN A BIKINI ARE GOING TO HELL.” Whatever you say, Nana. When we left my Nana made us tacos and tamales. She gathered all the food in the house to send us off and took all the cash she had and stuffed it in my pocket. She purged the cupboard of all the bananas, plums, nectarines, and apricots and placed them in a bag with two bottled waters a coke, a diet coke and sprite. She told me that she loved me and that she hated to see me go. That, “I had just gotten there” and that she would “miss me so much.” Before we left she sent me with a card that was “very important”. It was a picture and a coin embossed with my guardian angel that she bought at the church gift shop. My nana loves me more than anything else in the world. My nana still calls you my friend.

Nana thinks the magazine is the devil.
at first when you take off the world just looks small a dollhouse, a miniature world an amusing punchline to an old joke a fantasy tinged with g-force and sprite in clear cups but as the sky darkens and the plane lifts higher the world seems to drown in blackness an inky clarity of night not confused by clouds and suddenly it is as if you are at the top on an ocean looking at a far away ocean floor crawling with foreign creatures with all of their bones lit up over coral reefs of light and movement parking lots like stationary jelly fish and highways like currents of neon veins pumping lights and cars all of the world's exoskeleton is illuminated and it is beautiful and movable it is nature's patterns played out in electricity but the farther out you go the more the sharpness and geometry of the roads and cities attack the eye and the coral reefs turn to computer motherboards all of man's ingenuity and beauty no longer draping the world but ordering it into squares and jagged lines into distant pixel pinpricks into maps until you're not traveling through the world but over it
