Stunning New World Naked Aphrodite

Sailors by a sea 

Beleaguered do not want 

To see wondrous dappled waves 

Lapping your feet--they hunger to see you 

Bursting full-blown from an oyster 

Shell before a herd of grunting 

Swine mooning over a brimming 

Trough of mind-blowing slop; 

So step right up and humor us

Knockout, please don't stop.

 

 

On A Fence (For The Time Being)

Where you were before

You decided to

Stay there(in)--

Definitely.

 

Wake-up Call For The Duration

Zounds!

Super poet profoundly 

Durable always more 

Than capable of leap- 

Frogging from one fantastic 

Telling line to another 

In an unbroken series 

Of singular bounds 

With hardly any wear or tear 

Worth mentioning till 

An astounding lack 

Of down-to-earth metaphors 

Finally set him and his oh so 

Flimsy craft soundly crashing 

Down to ground-zero!

 

 

Flight (After Seferis)

Do not preen your feathers, 

Strange bird—there’s yet another 

Mountain peaking over 

The next ridge, the slightest 

Distance—please rise fully 

To the occasion.

Huuklyeand Cinquor's Fishy Blame Game

Hey, stinker-- 

You keep on telling yourself 

You've spent the better part 

Of your life waiting 

For your very own voice to bob 

Full-blown to the surface. 

Well, guess what, chum-- 

It's finally stopped playing 

Your silly game and now wants you 

To take the bait, the blame 

And nothing 

But the blame and reel 

It in hook, line and sinker-- 

Are you still game?
