Kar’ Pen Try

Words.

to the writer

words are more than symbols and

signposts and

ribbon-tied oaks marking path—

to the writer words are boards

repurposed signposts

boards a bard nails together
 
 
into a whole new thing!

(person slash place)

a place wired with

state of the

~art~

elocution and

high-definition and

flammable insulation and

paint.

Lots and lots of self-sustaining paint that changes color Mood ring style.

Tree house complete with infrastructure

so…more than two floors if there’s sub-text

Dark Matter ethereal and

Milky Way amorphous, this

energized, expanding entity is totality self-contained—

blurb an’ scrawl

a Singularity cosmic as the effluvium of the universe

which would itself not exist

in the second place

were it not for

Word.

Keepin’ Kitty

There are consequences

consequences to cat walking

~~off leash…
 
 
 
on dog beach, especially;

the spare dogs being the least of the cat’s problem

Birds are the problem.

Phoenixes, particularly.

(the wake of Immaculate Vultures)

Bred from

unbordered bonfires,

(set by dry D.O.C. drunks)

these hybrids of Fire & Spirit

have a taste for uncradled cats.

and that’s skipping the

murder factor entirely–

Crows circling nearby

> on the wings of a thousand clichés <

grimly reap

any

pray

–so long as it’s alive–

(and resistin’!)

assisted

by the grimmest raptor

still…

Portent-Us owls

& strictly messengers for

RSVP—these birds invariable lateness is a

synchronicity, as the fallout

of chronically tardy folks proves substantial.

Dry Fly Toast

Marge

–the bookworm–

fell asleep

(reading Kafka, incidentally, but that’s neither here nor there. Forced to say: it was mostly there)

you couldn’t blame her

she was pupa

(gave an inch that seemed a mile)

and upon waking

found

herself in

a no fly zone.

(SWAT team at the ready)

Imagine.

A onetime caterpillar in a no

butter fly

zone

(pain in the nectar, really)

so

she

compromised

(well, it’s a little funny)

Holy Hitching Post, Batman!

May 16, 2015 by Charron's Chatter Comments Off on Holy Hitching Post, Batman!

Batman

the Penguin

married Poppins–

–and Batman: Dracula,

the one was due,

2 shaded views,

the other

—maculas–

impaired by light

the Darkest Knight

went bats for pointed tooth…

Wonder Boy

went on to wed

–his Bread–

and what a wedding!

until the toast,

when guests disposed,

of bride with tasteless spreading…

(no big surprise)

since super-size

of bride begat baguetting

Mr. Freeze

dug

feline sleaze,

–the woman known as Cat

but pose she struck

was frozen stuck

when ice-man dropped to knees,

a sculpture that–

–graced punch bowl at

the rites of fellow thieves…

the Ridd’lah next,

wrote witty text

for vows employed in lieu…

but lost his wife

who failed to cipher

words to say: “I do”…

no punchline sung,

from twisted tongue,

just teleprompted clues.

yes, Batman and

prime-time brigands

–had lives off TV set–

that packed a punch

¡KAZOW!

(and lunch)

though Joker’s still on deck.

Pretzels > Pringles

May 15, 2015 by Charron's Chatter Comments Off on Pretzels > Pringles

chips
 
Life’s a party

surprise–wake–“of five”

…a party…

all that

and a bag of chips
 

(arranged festively with nearby dip)

but what about after—

–after the chips are cashed?

post hummus

do we get another go around, d’ya think?

re-Pita

contingent on chips that remain in the bowl?

double-dip

fat-free, salt-free, and taste-free?

BOGO

(bury one, get one million)

Well, it makes sense. Why would God bother making chips

­er…souls…

from scratch?

Disbelieving of Time

cheeto

He doesn’t like to mark-it.

(add campaign)

–doesn’t like to count beans and

doesn’t like to throw His die-it off

so it’s amazing some brands

small potatoes

merit shelf space

at all…

gloves

No kidding

I need kid gloves—

not boxing–

spiked

or

> open-ended <

the hand hold

deuces at best…

dependent on

far too many

wildcards

–bluffing skills, mainly

fake it ‘til you make it

poker face

no wayfarers, though

mouth guard

tic ~ talk goes the clock

and

venue.
