Listen the Whirring Blades
A collection of short poems
listen the whirring blades
chop chop chopping motors
the daring escapades
over the fields and glades
the heat of explosions
the force of wind that fades
returning from tirades
ghostly chopping motors
flying for decades
again again in raids
fraught with meaningless rage
in the fields of all dreaming
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bleeding
i'm not bleeding on the outside yet
don't lick my buttons shep
my heart pleading at the outset
don't lick my loafers shep
maybe a trickle
get away dog
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Peephole
Through the peephole I see,
Starin' right back at me:
One round eye.
Could be the pizza guy,
If the peeper were blue;
But, stuck there like glue,
Brown and ugly mean,
Is the nastiest glower I've seen.
Where have I beheld that iris before?
Was it inside the finance store?
Or on the dude sold me my shitty car?
Maybe it's the pissed bastard from the bar?
He can knock until his eyes turn green;
He won't get a step past the screen.
I will just pad softly off to bed.
Screw 'im, hope he concludes I'm dead
About the Creator

My work is based on who I am now and have been in the past. It is based on a lifetime of reading. Autobiography, standard fiction, sci/fi, fantasy, westerns. I plan to put together a collection of short stories to publish via Amazon.
