I am on the wrong side of my Looking Glass,
but at least the characters have changed!
There’s Gretel
that’s me
without the crummy bread, though
and Hansel
that’s nunya
without GPS, either, and you know he won’t ask directions
and the de rigueur archetype, off course, too
that’s lawless
Good, bad, or Clint Eastwood,
it’s hard to say
witch house
I’ll walk back inside…

Pan fry
Angel cake
Flip it once
Double-Bake
Styk it in
A fiery lake
Soak up Spirits
Dry & Shake–
–multitudes
With Halo Flake.
Toss’ta Maker
Down falls fake.

<*)))–{{
have a greater than 3 heart
& hug with double-brackets…
when U smile, Colon, please go 2 D
LOL
& when U frown,
no squiggled brow…
if U can do this
before the M dash is suffixed
with a #
there is a Y
U can enclose
in that X-tra set of parentheses….

Note: this is a poem I posted before. As I sift through a couple years worth of files, I am noticing how many poems have *pOOf* disappeared here, and I heartily recommend all fellow bloggers keep multiple copies of their work–as I myself do.
a barker at market
marketing parkas
told me to park it
beneath his marquee…
Remarking my burqa
was yesterday’s jerkin
and hurtin’ for certain
the way I’m perceived…
Shaking out tunic
in shaking down movement
he barked that most sheiks
are taken with frayed
–fringes and edges
as long as alleged
unraveling hems
are finest of suede…
Then trading my jacket
in bartering racket
before I could counter
my coat was replaced,
by fast talking honcho
hawking pseudo-suede ponchos
to passing by pawns
showing poor fashion taste.

If 1 Day
is Monday
that’s never 2sday,
and Wednesday
> though midway <
lost 3 in translate.
while Thursday
which sounds trey
is really the 4th
—not Friday
(a free-day)
since that’s 5th
of course.
The 6th day
that sits way
—down in the week
is all about sitting
and “past tense” in speak.
And Son-day
is fund day
for God’s favorite sun,
who pulls triple-duty
returning to 1.
