First Friday- Poetry Slam

Spiders

Spider ling’s balloon
over tiny strands of silk
thread- trapeze artists.

Steel spiders muscle 
circus owner, draw sideshow
acts to live wire.

Spider vein try-out’s
announced in carnival ad
beach sandals welcome.

Tall, Thin, Young and Gassy—pidgin poem

One sistah from Kahaluu

carving
into da
banyan tree
next to da
Hygenic Store.

She waitin on Kimo
da kine moke neva even
graduate Castle High School.

Da tita
get one zit da size
of one forklift
on top her
nose.
Pretty soon
she gonna pop da bugga
da ting going ooze
and she going use 'um fo
fill-in da kine words
into dat tree.

Words like
I gonna get you fo dis, KIMO
I not playin wit you
no more games-- gangsta.
I like wrap your brains round dis tree
wat you tink, I no life.
You tink I
going stay hea foreva.

So she tink and she write
some ting else into dat tree
dat no one eva going forget.

It say,
Kimo like sleep
wit ladies undawea on, cuz

Dat going fix da bugga.

She smiling now
like she wen release
one huge
onolicious fart.

“Kay den, she say,
my work
pau hea
wea  you like go?”

Trending Pointless

I admit it

I am

not the sharpest knife

in the drawer.

Actually I hail from

a whole set

of dull knives.

In fact, the sharpest one

is currently afflicted with

a pitting problem. No cure

missing some stainless parts

if you know what I mean.

It is surprising

shocking really

that not even one

sibling in the drawer

has an ounce of steel  

or any hidden alloy

of any cutting edge value.

Apparently
when the big guy upstairs

was doling out sharpeners

we all

skipped class.

I must admit-- I’m worried  

the makeup exam

appears to involve

massive pumpkins

and no one’s trained

in carving

except of course

our distant cousin

an ancient

serrated edge

with a long handle

sketching a subliminal

outline.

Multiverse--cinquain

More than
One--is it true
that there is more than ONE!
Maybe we’ll get one more chance to
survive.

 Matter
 exists, to learn
 our origin, stars
 progress, energy amplified
 study.

 Science
 Mathematics
 divide reality
 Quantum theory resides within
 space time.

Breakfast at the Villa

Apollo is beginning
with a plastic appetizer
the meal
a cutback sleeve of
a five gallon bucket
fashioned to house
a large dog’s dish.

It is his.

We know this because it
has a large red A on the side
unlike his brother’s
which has a large red R
for Rocky.

They have access
to all the amenities.
These pedigrees
needn’t
bend down to eat.
Gracious NO!

This clever design
keeps their dishes
at shoulder height
a comfortable level for dining.

The cook is late
and Apollo being
extremely advanced
for a bull mastiff
unlike his rather vocal brother
who is whining
doesn’t voice his disdain
but instead has
brought his bucket
to the front overlooking the ponds
and will diplomatically
start
alone.
