Bar Poems
by Terry Brinkman
Royal Bar
I stumble in to the Royal
My stool between dark woman and fair man
Ghost-woman drink a beer from a coffee can
Unreluctance mobility loyal
Steaks on to broil
Fair mans name is Dan
Fishing tomorrows plan
He puts in his beer fish oil
Half mad deathless Gods
Making friends without half trying
Moon mid-watchers awed
Gloaming gray sky
Alabaster silence Izadi
The dark woman is so shy
Bear Pit
I hiked from the top floor of Old Faithful Inn
Signature drink is the Morning-Glory
Employees are hear from the Dormitory
Gruff Squire alone playing his guitar
He sound like a poor tuned truck
Clear glass and sky, much like an observatory
Not enough beer to tell a story
Look now a shooting Star
You can smell Old Faithful through the door
Scenic Yellowstone in glass
Kids hanging from the decks on the second floor
In July Christmas
Hiking all day, now Im sore
Time went fast were at the bottom of the Hourglass
Bluebird
I peddled my bike to Bluebird
Organic food and beer
Everyone in biking gear
Tuesdays live music from Blackbird
Organic Peanuts too absurd
Blackbirds music to loud to hear
Saving the Earth and Deer
Save like the rest of the herd
L.E.D. candle lights
The West Wealthy way
Flint glass to maximize daylight
No power Hopscotch play
Solar-power making dim light
Now snowing I need my sled
Dragonfly
Star ship to Dragonfly
Everyones wearing a Jetsons T shirt
Maladroit silk skirt
Sonic fast Barfly
Moon landing we glorify
AREA 51 in the desert
UFO were all alert
Mars-Woman sings a lullaby
Catalectic tetrameter star
Moon Mid-Watchers Rocket
He plays an atomic guitar
Works with George at Spacely Sprockets
For bars this is bizarre
I left with a Sprocket in my pocket
Way Side Inn
I slide into the Way Side Inn
Past the Green worn wood door
Snow was falling Christmas Eve
In the corner a Ghost woman dream weaves
Sewage breath and Ashes on her Chin
Jockeyed old Bar-maid too Feminine
Its Christmas you must believe
Coat hook tears my Crucified shirts sleeve
Drinking Black-Forest Wild Geese Gin
Smell of Logs almost burnt glow
Dark woman and fair man in the Gazebo
Closing time
Old drunks begin to sway
She gets a kiss under the Mistletoe
