Poetry Odds and Ends

(12 quatrains not put on the poster or the ladder so they are only here, top and bottom bottom quatrain not new)

The world nears all her cusps untold,
and steers by her rudder rot.
Rhyming nothing quite so old,
as the tiny private thought.

A Hand with Adhesive Coloured Buttons,
that fall off when its Person Thinks gently.
A very long Tent Pole to the North-Sky,
from a very-small empty.

Lawn grub coated with salt standing on snowy mountain,
wondering what it all means.
A dreamed Webpage for something called wonder-io,
and Input output Teams.

A Valuable Antique Document Explaining,
how to Fire someone for Hard Workings.
A cat Looking into House from Burrow in Snow,
beneath its own Droppings.

Meditating on Nearby Rock,
nudity Tree being Picked out of a Lineup.
Rusting Bicycle in Swamp Marsh,
watched by Owner after thirty year breakup.

Two Friends about to take Crane Lift ride,
at an under-funded countyfair.
Farm Tractor with one Wheel higher than ego,
being driven backwards by sleepless care.

Large Purple Onion in Garden growing,
into a Once in a Lifetime-Shape.
A Male Mosquito on a bedroom wall making,
plans to afford Columbo doctoring, waits.

Watching cat Smell Coins,
and Swallow them without Human Interference.
A Deadpan Man Surprisingly Standing Still,
after Flipping through air's disturbance.

Being given very Dusty Vintage Wool Sweater,
and Politely being Thankful.
A Bus making a Difficult Turn in Life,
refusing the Offer of the spoiled tranquil.

Applying some Medication below a Cat's Right Eye,
and having no Memory of its purpose or Who.
Entering an Art Gallery near Male and Female Browsing,
and Shielding Eyes figuring out what to do.

Man on Date Confessing to Woman,
he Made his Arm Look Wounded to win her Passion.
Finding Plates of unfinished Food Under Sinks,
in Cupboards, on Shelves and in Fashion.

An Improvised Worshipping Idol left by someone Lost,
in this Complex Transit System Like Me.
Man Standing at Workbench with Hands Embedded,
who Can Never Work or Leave.

Demonstrating TV Clown holding Plastic Cup,
up against a Five inch Eye Ball's silence.
A Hollywood Makeup Student Delighted to Tears,
that Her Friend has brought a very first Client.

Any world that can cast slow shadows,
upon my flesh feels wise.
And all I need to do to choose one,
is reveal my morning eyes.




(15 quatrains that were to big to fit on the poster or the ladder so they are only here)

My aunt introducing me to a friend of her daughter's,
who strives to act and dress like me.
Nothing on a train track, built for delivering future flowers,
shaped how a rose could be.

A Teacher of Meek Ego, fighting to keep Hold of his Teaching Aid Bucket,
that his Principle always has Fun with in Jest.
A Virtual Village in a Virtual Valley,
Irresistible to Exploring Avatars who Fly over it's Crest.

A Female Fifty Foot Tall, Swim Sport Instructor Training New Students,
by Holding their Heads Upside Down in Water.
Mother Sitting Talking Cheerfully, to Someone Lying Face Down in Garden,
Her Head under Bench Park Daughter.

A Large Turtle on a Bus Stop covering a Diamond Encrusted Man Hole Cover
that No One but the Turtle, knows is There.
A Bus Zooming Past a Bus Stop,
Blowing Fast Food Litter, up into the Air.

Looking out my Window and seeing a Toy Radio Controlled Balloon,
crash landed on my Snow Covered Lawn.
Woman at Bar Striking Bartender, with Large Pan of Meatballs,
Every Time He says Something Wrong.

A Thirty Year old Shy Owner of a Large Corporation,
Embarrassingly admitting that yes he owns the Largest Office.
A Newspaper Relationship Column advising,
Whenever She is Still the Softest.

Headlights of a Large Truck Turning into our Driveway,
Approaching a Wolf Waiting in our Open Garage Someday.
A Passive Model on a Catwalk Stage walking Past a Toilet,
Placed at the Start of the Glamour Runway.

A Well Practiced Rabbit Rushing Exactly and Directly Home,
with a Well Practiced Window Leap.
Finding a Pair of Reading Glasses,
inside a Well Compacted Composting Heap.

Woman searching for Good Place, to Hide her Tough Man Spike Belt,
Looking towards my Pillow.
Woman Gut Punching a Garbage Collection Man,
who is just Making his Regular Rounds so Jello.

Explaining that its Paw over this Barrier,
demonstrates its Political Views are too Radical for Me.
My Cat saying, we, could Never be Friends,
Must Stop One Doughnut Per Day, Goalie!

Unfindable in an Ominously Messy Sink Cubboard,
An Automatic Scent Freshening Machine bought Last Month.
Where, as they Take a Break From Scavenging,
Man and Woman Make Love, in a Garbage Dump.

A One Thousand Protester Sit-In for no Reason Really,
Except to Share Lunches and Relax.
A Man Disgusted by Acquaintances Removing and Returning
his Pets. Saying, Why would Anyone, do That.

A Man Looking into Stove Oven Tossing Food behind him,
Saying and Now it's Time for the Real Heat.
A Portrait I Painted of Myself with Some of my Siblings,
Where for some reason I'm a Ball of Meat.

Man and Woman Driving Convertible on Fast Highway,
with Woman Pulling Down Radio Antenna to Take Something off for Play.
A Proud Insert Falling out of your Newspaper that reads
Inspiring Ways of Solving problems Everyday.

And Lastly for the really Big Bonus Question,
Name the Cells that Rhyme.
A Man watching a Man at Work, who has Converted his Big Toes,
into Guns so he can Tunnelling Demolition a Mine.


(5 that can't be put on the posters because they are not quatrains)

yearbook with white ink
show up in sunlight someday
tiny cloud be brave
_

sunrays thank darkness
that the eyelid gives away
a gleam's cost is paid
_

Rose wake you missed her,
I dreamt I tripped and kissed her,
I tripped a thousand times.
_

Cars can oh through intersections,
but two ways I pretend.
Pause for just eternity,
for that light to change again.
Or ponder with some uncertainty,
which direction never ends.
That time of choice a moment,
that's poetry; my friend.
_

Sing to a person with sound.
Don't drag your heart on the ground.
It's hard on the cells,
gets sore and swells,
and dam oh it hurts like hell.
