you can follow with stuff, and even poetical ideals... often a poem or even haiku is a prayer uttered, sometimes in passing, or next to death, or in thanks for living

next, forgive yourself and others of their mistakes and pray for the good things about themselves to improve

then bless what you are happy to have

next, a hail mary, or an act of contrition

Start with Our Father...

ap, that's not something you joke about...

what would you pray for? Something useful?

high desert sage brush
coyote lopes across the road
looks back and wonders

jesus will save you
pray real hard there moxie
just keep on prayin'

ronin sounds like reaming
love that shit from shithole
hate me all you love!

there's that side of me.
unredeeming social value,
so like all of you.

california
oil rigs fucking the earth
near bakersfield

i am envious
of their potent stamina
slow and steady works

trucks climb the grape vine
just ninety three more miles
to Los angeles

roy orbison sings
only the lonely to me
blood shot driving eyes

ahem..."moxie...?"

a little more evangelical next time, ok?

well hey!!! that wasnt a good idea
it didnt fit at all and i tried wire and
wood coathangers....you could hurt
people with suggestions like that
what would god think of you ???

i came to tell you
all to put a coat hanger
into your assholes!

A man made from mud.
Walking and talking, alive.
Thinking and dreaming.

Like clay in potter's
hands, molded and created
The kiln fires solid.

Me devotchka,
listen very well and see
what kind of poet...

you will be!

Yes, I agree with
the good doctor, ideas
are good if understood.

So, not artsy but
succinctly hitting the point;
this is your goal.

One last time for you:
Big and bad words can cut your
thoughts into thirds

Objective thought like
wide perspective lacks the being
(Sun/Moon) - blind seeing

merry christmas, folks

..ALTERNATIVE POEM

.a light evening breeze
so softly lifts the firefly
....ap above the sky

crackpots and stray dogs
mossy rocks a fresh mown lawn
I'll say now more

An abandoned house
craked pots, stray dogs, mossy rocks
overgrown rose bush

Old, lonely and used
so pregnant with memories
very much to tell

A cake divided
Which one is bigger, I muse
either one looks fine

out in the mulga
where churches are few, rude men
ride nags in scanties

Each morning I wake
time surreal, the crazy schedule
then silence, complete

Racing far beyond
Never looking back again
Not looking forward

a song in the wind
reaches deep within my heart
and a stab of pain

(hi ronin)

(better than nothing, which
..quite describes bool-s 8)

ahhh, peace and quiet
..conducive to poetry
...and wan reflection

........A BIT CONCERNED

........mellie's not herself
i think, somewhat lacking her
..........usual vamp elan

.........interesting, AP
you must have done lots of it
......at the mental ward

(like when you did time there)

..GETTING BACK TO FORM
............(vile haiku)

..boo sounds more like poo
something like a piece of shit
.........a likely shithead

..(an unconceding shithead!)

i think the pope is
catholic, and ducks do swim
realbadhaiku, mel

yeah pigs might fly
is the pope a catholic?
and can a duck swim?

pull the other one
slap on a bandaid perhaps
and kiss it better

on realbadhaiku
you'll be able to block these
posters of drivel...

what cha gonna do
when the gamma rays come for
you moxie or lee

giant gamma ray
bursts, one hundred light year
blast radius....ouch!

neutron double stars,
many pairs of which are close
to solar system

Procrastinate with poems
Damn the internet

and the score so far
terrorism six thousand
forces of good nil

keep tuned for more war
good triumphs over evil
and the curtain falls

meanwhile, far away
recalcitrant ex-allies
won't follow the script

arrrgggg
