QUASIMODO TAUNTS SUN...AGAIN!

Quasimodo points his paintbrush in the Sun’s eye. So, the Sun begins to cry, then gets very angry, and shuts the sky down, and reaches for his rifle. The shots crackle through the firmament as he (the Sun) shoots frozen pellets at the perp, who is hot-footing it back into his tower seeking his... Sign in to see full entry.

CARA CLARA

What’s in a face might be none of my business Sparrows don’t cling to dawn Does the red dog bark only at noon? My feet are not my thought But they take me where I’m going Simpler to think what one is Or declare the same name twice Without the mirror Sign in to see full entry.

I READ A POEM TODAY

I read a poem today That carried me to the bluntness Of my truths Some unexamined And others that got away I am lackluster in my turpentine I sing songs in my veil Waiting to be touched By an unknown saint Who knows another song Sign in to see full entry.

OTHER GHOSTS

The lesson is in the poem or is it the other way around?

QUEST

Time to find the inner scale the outer has become shake-worthy the mind opts to travel as long as there are paths to follow Perhaps all this is known before seeking dimension: A story must record itself within its outer form Is there another way to have a life?

EXISTENTIALIST IN MY CLOSET

There’s an existentialist in my closet snoring in my shoe Sometimes I know his dreams better than my own because I don’t have any But I put him under my bed, once and dreamed why Buddha climbs no mountains while three Christs show me their new pockets There’s an existentialist in my closet a hermit...

THE ROAD TO SEX

IF I COULD HAVE SEX ALL DAY I’D PROBABLY GET VERY CONFUSED ALL THE ZINK WOULD BE DRAINED FROM MY BODY AND I’D SEE THE SUN AS THE MOON THEN I’D BE THE LAST MINER IN CAMP TO WATCH MY BONES FALL APART MY TONGUE WOULD WIND UP IN MY SKULL AND THAT’S WHEN MY EYES WOULD POP OUT NO, THE ROAD TO SEX IS NOT...

HUMORIST SUCCOMBS TO RARE AND EMBARASSING PROBLEM

Well, tongue and cheeking has been around thousands of years, and its the first we at WRAYL (We Report And You Listen) ever heard about it too. Its a rear and little known condition called Myapoperia. Now if you don't have a dry sense of humor (if any humor at all)--not to worry, because it only... Sign in to see full entry.
