amidst Jeffersonian opulence
the Prez broke bread with his
GOP poker face friends
to solve government gridlock
and sequester predicament trends

citizens of the republic
hopeful for nonsense to cease
sat at the table asking

“would you pass
the biscuits please?”

Obama perused the wine list
boldly choosing a luscious Merlot
senators ordered the finest hors d'oeuvres
the guests were all aglow

numerous delectable dishes
were liberally splayed on the table
revelers sipped flowing vintages
wine a surefire icebreaker

sparkling crystal Lennox flutes
tinkled with convivial release
while America’s disenfranchised
voices ask

“would you pass
the biscuits please?”

chutney meat, curried hens and
sweet walnut rainbow trout
the table a horn a plenty
the guests gorged on fine cuisine
a blessed nations bounty

the feast consumed
the Senators sated
said it was some
of the finest ever served
but the taxpayers only
got a peak of the banquet  
a whiff of senators nerve
and asked

“would you pass
the biscuits please?”

the dessert cart was rolled in
with custards, cakes, creme brulee
cordials, cognac and VSOP tastes
rounded out the wholesome feast

when the check was presented
for payment all guests headed
for the door with haste
they told the waiter the bill of fare
was covered
by the guy asking...

“would you pass
the biscuits please?”

Monday nights on earth
A choice of two remedies
Warm me up at home or in the new place in westlake?
But first
Which way, to which way goes the winds?
Windy libra evenings blow all around me.
After all, what did I expect when venus stays above this part of town.
There is refuge from this cold
uptown
in the cafe on Lennox.
It was here that I met deep purple eyes.
The ones filled with magic, luxury, and the smoothest contact.
They cried the kind of warm purple tears that are hard to describe.
You taste like velvet feels.
You taste like twinkle sounds.

Have you ever had lavender hot chocolate on a cold Monday night?

Interesting because neither have I.
OR
The Child Is Father Of The Man, But Not For Quite A While

So Thomas Edison
Never drank his medicine;
So Blackstone and Hoyle
Refused cod-liver oil;
So Sir Thomas Malory
Never heard of a calory;
So the Earl of Lennox
Murdered Rizzio without the aid of vitamins or calisthenox;
So Socrates and Plato
Ate dessert without finishing their potato;
So spinach was too spinachy
For Leonardo da Vinaci;
Well, it's all immaterial,
So eat your nice cereal,
And if you want to name your ration,
First go get a reputation.
Joseph Schneider Jun 2014
I was gonna rip his heart out. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion, there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allāh!

A repost of a poem with comments .
It was quite evident as a teenager , drawing Boston's guitar shaped space ship on the back of an English book , playing the opening riff to Smoke on the Water with a broomstick
Hiding in the closet , listening to Kiss's first album , singing in front of the mirror to REO Speedwagon
Bad Company on the eight track in my '63 Ford Falcon , taking a Guess Who album to show and tell in Kindergarten
Reciting every lyric on Three Dog Night albums , Foreigner turned up so loud that the windows would ratttle !
Learning Free songs note by note on the guitar , playing Born to be Wild like I was on a World Tour
My heroes are Page , Scholz , Perry and Geddy Lee ! Soundgarden , Alice in Chains , Mott the Hoople and Queen
Jimi Hendrix bringing his Strat to life , Eddie's blistering fretwork !
Crosby , Stills and Nash , three part Angelic vocal harmonies , Ronnie James Dio wailing like a banshee !
A Gibson through a Marshall , A Fender through a Vox , a Tele through a Peavey , a Rickenbacker through an Orange !
Jim Morrison turning poetry into song , Elton John baring his soul through the piano
Eddie Vedder in a trance on stage , Anne Wilson crying out in pain  , Layne Staley raising the hairs on the back of your neck , the reassuring voices of McCartney and Lennon , every musical note committed to paper by George Harrison
Chris Cornell screaming into the night , the aura of Robert Plant onstage
the sweet guitar work of Eric Clapton , heart wrenching soul of Janis Joplin
The wailing guitar of Robin Trower , the blues power of Rory Gallagher
Siren song of Annie Lennox to the infectious , brilliant lyrics of Tom Petty

Mary, Mary
Quite contrary
Egressed from the East Indies
A lost child
Grief is a long hallway
With sketches of pain
Adorning the walls
Hope is a drawer
With a hidden key

Bottled-up
Mary Lennox
Jumps rope
Out in the cold
Hopscotching
And exploring
Follows the red robin
Enters the garden
Long forsaken
Befriending life within
Evoking life without
With the one exception
Of herself

Mary had a little plan
"Might I have a bit of earth?"
To plant
And to chant
To sow
And to grow
To return a loved one
To both father and son
To open the secret garden again
And feel the inner workings
Of her heart begin

Sorcha, Remembered**

why does sunlight
shimmering through the trees,
leaving shadowy patterns
on the ground below
remind me of you?
or how watching
two squirrels
chasing each other
around the Sycamore
remind me how you loved
to listen to Lennon’s ‘Imagine”?
~~~
Yesterday
I came across pictures
of your ‘safe place’.
The ones you emailed me
to let me know you were okay.
a small waterfall
glimpsed between
lush green over growth
sparkled in the sunlight
and I could imagine
you sitting there
humming to the music it made.
~~~
You once told me
you thought we (humanity)
could make a difference,
could fix the damage done
to the earth;
fix the damage people have done
to each other.
and this was said in spite
of all the pain, suffering
and damage done to you; which
eventually led to your death.
~~~
I must apologize
to all I know
for not thinking of you more often.
for it wasn’t until
I recovered your photos
it had been awhile.
it reminded me
that after I heard of your death,
besides playing ‘Imagine’
over and over again,
I couldn’t stop playing
Annie Lennox’s re-mix
of ‘I Can’t Get Close To You’.
~~~
You lived down under,
Queensland native
with husband and kids.
so while I never met you,
I felt a human to human
kinship - one we all should share.

Aztec Warrior 11.3.15
Sorcha died in 2002, of a brain aneurysm as the result beatings and abuse throughout her childhood. Sorcha was a poet and friend.

What to do?
What to do today?
We have talked about Confessional Poetry
but I realized that I have none to confess

I am no Sylvia Plath
I have nothing to distress about
I have no daughter nor Daddy
no love to suffer to and fro

I am no Annie Lennox too
I dare not put my hands on you
you..
you are a vegetable
I compare you with a green vegetable
you are off no use
of no feelings
nor hatred.

Oh, what to do
What to do.
Okay, so I just finished class today, and the topic was quite interesting. Yes, obviously, it is about poetry. Confessional Poetry to be precise. No hate okay, just love.

Born with a clean slate

Loved ones teach kids how to HATE

Each day Choose good versus bad

Children mimic watch and learn

Live by example your turn

The pluralism origin.

In context of contrast

A mistake is made

All take part in witness

As event collapsed

To correct is to fix from error to non error

Mail and postage create such actions

Homekey defrauded the public of delivering of correct address to owner of reserved address in building of steps to a reception point.

This coordinate no longer exists.

It is and has been rerouted fraudulently without a hearing of free speech.

I am party to this and remained above rebuttal by remaining aside from the matter in poverty per se

Innocent of provided with the fraud against me, alone.

Lumox and lush
Louse and pilfered ******
Tiffs usage and spent upon
Failures smiles acrid laughter albatrosses
Black lacquers frames oft walked
Nascent snouts
Corrections endless encounter
Bedmates watering wells
Filthed cloths arrival again
Lovers brail

A question in thoughts Kendall
As life's complexity
Couldn't explain
Lennox, Annie
In my still shot


Taylor the blemishing grands offers scales

If Melissa Marquardt and I have brunch again alone we did this instead


No more ambulance Melissa
Sheepshead and lobster taco lunch
From Mark and Luke

Goya Rancheros vegan
Embasa salsa casera
Tostada cold
Carafe
All day pause in the heat

Late walks to the establishment
Absent bollilos

Becoming smells of vanilla

Jack Jack's new mom likes this vanilla ***

She is six in three weeks

We remade the process of Jack Jack
To double check
I'm not how she is

She found frustration and war
In inability to hurt my mind
My heart was science
Left in gutters and jails

Her bday is in today's vacinity

Angel's New born is home
She has a new addition to her uppity
Happies

XXIX

Traveller, the road is only

your footprint, and no more;

traveller, there’s no road,

the road is your travelling.

Going becomes the road

and if you look back

you will see a path

none can tread again.

Traveller, every track

leaves its wake on the sea…


Hello Empty Quill 2

Begun whilst trampled, all creation
has ended

Specify contact, absorbed indifference

Angel of epoch today may doom
And alas the sufferings laughter
To each embrace fills another's curfew

Go again abroad titled castle
Swim triumphant
Begin each loon

Original playful expounding


Canto of Lend



Psyche's Decanter
Forgotten Muses

Durga
Glimpse
Faltered Catchings
As fate was renewed
In spoiling of ink and songs
The clawfootings nest, awakes
Spirited joy
Gambling and dancing
Mischievous nuscance's
Joy filled pander

A French ladies girlhood
Jestering with courtship
And thievery

Her handed change
Spills of galaxy
Abandon of Greece
Partner of romance
Wonderous mortal boys torment
Goddess of folly and treasure tears
Fall at once
Capture my Irish play
Off with your heathen again
Grab the thatches and begone


Hangle and Lie
The devout of tomorrow
Belie your desire
Blankets of spite await in my idioms




As we are water without
As we are water without a place
Hours of enlightened
Enlightened?
"Yes, boy, go on"
Wells of timber and anul
Find mercy vast
Yet our sorrow is pillfered
Our galaxy poorly felt
Tinsel is bedridden
The screens crackle, distant!
"Yes, cupid, again"
Psyche and leopard
Confounded assumptions

The stage is drought
Further in beyond lighting
Able returned, call of your true naming
"Destitute rest he begins applause"

Lyrics in quivered harm

Yes mantle I understand now

Madame he finds no worth in your crestfallen humor

"Only as your song, Irish boy"

"I will decide you later”



Unsay
The island lied and friendship won't last
Spiteful romance, hateful lips

In his friendship I found a brother
In her eyes I found torment
Italia would dance as me
Winde in wind
Faltering rains
Catch of shoulders

Eyed unlasting
And his songs begun in hair
Sundered tulips
Well unopened
Has he left you closed
Finally?

You know their truth
Is never from you


Reliefs
Reliefs under water
Under the shiner brilliant
Goal
The day falls unlent
The impedance of progress
Unable to handle the plummet
The fail the folly

Reason wills not from a far off
For a door will not answer a shined summit nor a petty prince

In deeds of sacred loves lost in time
The path in ash reddened twine
Lurks, spinning divinity's can
Divinity can beckon me
She lowers her mind
In meditative embrace
Her taught, turgid leaf
Lingers in meadows soft
Aisled sands become wilted papers sorrows and every rotted sunrise
Requires another signing of poetry

Eyes just won't see the day for hours of darkness have her bedridden in a French prison

Castled walls limber
As breaking guillotine falters
Limbing the courtyards again
Ignorance of nose
Spittles of france

The whispers hopeful
Rusted eyes
Calamity and silence
Dread of scandal
Speaker in blasphemous gore

Tincture and Elixir,!!

At cacophonies exile
We married jest
Stilled in adjacent alcoves
Neither gauge filled
Hours falling limp
The stained glasses potions, hurled
Forgotten absence
News of aphrodite has gone

On missing knee?
Cleric of nomads
Handle of Zeus
Laddle in compromise
Will you carry and spring?
Joyful blooms you hide
Sharing tempers brides


Beaten and sacrificed harp of greeds vanity you've no lies left

As in the final spill
Listing shimmer
And collapse of benign
Goddesses kindred
Crinkling gasps
As holds on clothes, wavering
Spins fetching castle
Murky laddles warmth
Lilts of gentle gripe

Skinned after birth
The olive bleached
Candled in doubtful ointments
Unlived yearning at hands
Crisis in voided times
Mutes bound lips opining lids



Founder of Eden

Sir! Madame!

The children weary in filth?
As babes unopened?
Clocks for sorrow yes!

At once my liege's!!!!


Tomorrow

Edgewise you sorrow again tomorrow

Some wild days winde
Poorly felt planets of magic
Are your sadnesses so full?
Will you spell in quite ruin?
Pointing slides and valleys

Shell next in door
Crescent sinuettes
Nimbles kind at end
Lingering eyes as fogs
Peasant boys resting tug

My breakfast fast too
Thiefs I say?
Satin blemishing the parkway
Her jazz dead and gone

Manhattan Surrender round 2 enters 3
Linda we on, channel Royceda59 up.

I can get you socks and shoes.  It will take a few days.  Where can we meet?

That's my social worker from Ireland
She takes my civil rights home
Claire Williams

No problem.  I don't have a pair of size 13 but I can order them. I'll text you again when I have them.

HACLA Ventura Basilica give you a raisin
You live there Kevin

I noticed she's Annie Lennox at night
Swaray American!?

Kelly and his Stencils

In low brushed wind
The river resides under tiles oft

I finished my examination of my Taylor Knox frame

I shell in ashes regression
On occasion
The swell is silenced
Safely I choose to speak again

In the plummet
A retreat to give
Surrender and break
The dolphins shall wake


Behind is Niles away
As it saunters, trace your stencil
Wallows boarding pays the lift



While Apparitions Appear
No silent chirped lips twirl
A world less instill

In the hour a slave
Glass cannot reply
Inkless surrender you bade

the emancipation?

Typical democracy isolation day in thousand oaks California
No services no serving the country
No food no clothes no legislation

Speech is not free to or from the beautiful crimes vanity

Typical day business hours of refusal of free speech creates hunger


Editors Remarks
Ventura County Star
Makena thanks for the escape from the acorn.

If I rarely comprehend as a scientist
Yet literature allows article positive description in democracy so as not to refute, rebuke, etc.

The job is attended and dramatists guilds are a trap.

Objective as per capita inclining in economic freedoms is an achieved literacy.

Pleasure writing with as opposed to otherwising surrenders edits

Thrive Thrivent etc are trademark obstructions being utilized in conejo valley against Ventura ghetto assumptions in Provocation of witness
