DougV.alt's Saved Poems

Sitting on the topaz throne-
Looking down on the dregs of society,
The few leftover connections on the phone;
The hero of this cautionary tale mighty.
Takes a closer look to see what’s really going on,
Survival motivated dependence on the group...

Give me 600 words pronto
Rhyming ones like virago
Or deep ones that are obviously pseudo
Fillers superfluous are also good to know
There is the troubled starving artist
With a cannula on his wrist
Being injected the blood of an activist
A...

The common man
Tries to make a viable plan
But gathers his bearings and drives off in a moving van
To his next settlement at the flash in the pan
The very core of consciousness
Is to arrive at its own essence
Hence he tries to question then...

Lost my wallet
Don’t know how
Any thievery I
Disavow.
Busy day and
Lots of stops.
Missed my pocket simply
Dropped?
Stores and restaurant
Went again.
Lost and found
No sorry, Man.

Licence driving
Health card too
Points card drug store...

Did that seem slightly off?
Let’s banish it with sage-
Surely we won’t let them play with the putty we cover in Schwärzkopf,
Our jelly cerebellum under hair turned white long before the right age.
Let’s expunge our demons-

When I can no longer cope

Our hearts elope
To climb higher
than any...

Prostrate before you

Have mercy, O LORD
We all have fallen astray
Kyrie Eleison.

Mortal are our sins

Behaving like gods
With mockery and with contempt
Kyrie Eleison.

As a refugee
Ukrainian child poet
A boy named Vova
Of Slavonic ancestry
You are born to serve others.

A soulful servant
Who will serve with poetry
With words that bring hope
The poetry of freedom
Of liberty from bondage.

Lady Liberty ...

I try so hard to picture the heart that lights the moon and beams love like a dart to my waiting face; as I pear into space, never complacent of your grace.
I imagine the touch of a planet so at peace it silently sings us to sleep as it sends us...

We look if we can see
Know if we can know
Touch if we can feel
Hear to raise our spirit
Taste and maybe glow
But why are we all here
Perhaps we'll never know
Or maybe it is clear
as the waters flow,
We are here to build
That some of us know
