Poems

Brinkman
Old Jack Priest
Old fogies Jack priest COVID cold sea eyes
Blooded guts gemmed fingers
Eyes Light from the snot green ghost candle
She said over her shoulder, with her face- mask a-jar
Bulldog Mack marks her words
Cowboy’s bull by her horns
Gruff squires and Indians in house lock-down
Pigeon house at Porters corner hospital
Thick plotting Ash plant dying line
Weather Permitting
Norris to Canyon
Start your trip
In touch with wilderness
Road schedule
Norris to Canyon
Are you ready?
Road schedule
Bison eat Grasses
Lodging
Eroded the weakened
Above or under ground
Visit Yellowstone
Hike on a trail
Weather permitting
Sleepy Whale 258
Accompanied his erroneously silent
Frequentative derived from literature
Imaginary pleasures, of real life
Found their glossary solution
Repeated reading, potential poet
Certain classical passages
First piece, City Weekly newspaper
Topical South King Street
Personal Christmas, Pantomime
Sixth scene song, supervision
Municipal local interest
Hyperandrogenous
To enter or not too
Saloon Chalk scrolled Dining room
Alabaster dark Bride runner and fair Groom
Ministers Toad’s belly running Kazoo
Other father’s well-to-do
Runners Wedding will be close to noon
Honeymoon on the moon
Red labeled Gin cash bar taboo
Temporary insanity to run the course
Win or lose endless pint drunk
I’m like a burr in the mane of a horse
Long legged silk stockings runner’s Monk
Drink like the devils after decision divorce
Limp as a sleeping Skunk
Sonnet CXXXXVI
Poet chap’s music
Cat beyond a dog’s jump
Wide brim Hat slump
Moon looking limerick
Poem for love-sick
Keep off the stump
Kiss the rump
Night clouds hick
Frightfully clever
Mad-house brain
Beseeching sever
Dark woman champagne
Lady love forever
When you fail try again
To Paint Her
She stands in a turn
The beads are falling from my face
Her dark wine perfume fills the place
Can’t stop, my hand begins to burn
This will be my sojourn
I won’t lose this race
Her wet sand skin like lace
Her heart will I earn
With each stroke of paint I glorify
As I complete we agree
With the strokes I amplify
The backdrop like a raging sea
The oil begins to dry
Now her and me two cups of coffee
Sleepy Whale #103
A Paper-shuttlecock on the door step
Crown standing by last bottle
She heaves her booty
Brandy child swaying her lamp
Drunken tugs askew
Peaked coup and hobbles off
At the corner
Navy gripes with both hands
Watcher two in shoulder caps
A woman screams
A plate crashes
Staff-holsters loom tall
Sleepy Whale 318
Model farm frost bound poker playing fumigant
Forcing the case of profound pity
Drawn Innis killings polo limit
Double envelopes sheepskin ear flaps
Escutcheon garnished sable
She eulogies glowingly
Insulting to any lady
Cat-o-nine-tails horse whippy
Chastise her she squirms’
Unbuttoning her gauntlet
Violently
Oaths of a man
Child roar mutter cease
Sleepy Whale 400
Toppling masonry Brick
My Moon and her Sun
Snot green Skeleton
Merlot bottle candle-stick
Lady’s time’s lost Arsenic
Subsolar lost simpleton
Sabastian’s beyond the dog’s reach, phenomenon
Good for nothing arithmetic
Smoking pot she’s very high
Tin crystal Palace
Mottle affairs horrify
Hubbub noisy Alice
Bitter-milk Pie
Drink blood from chalice
Sonnet CLI
Scaffold high
Mug of beer
Loud roar atmosphere
Secret panel Bar-fly
Screech-owls cry
Bullock-be-friending Auctioneer
Pyridine pomelos cheer
Sad anemones lie
Noble Lord Embrace
Limp as a wet rag
Brass polished base
Jerry Maundering bag
Old lacy face
Gloaming grey Nag
