Poems
by Terry Brinkman
Daves Last Ride
Four-Wheeling his contretemps Queen
Passed through the gape in the clouds to see the moon
Letting the sun fall on the floor at noon
Down a Well so deep the bottom could not be seen
Enemies of mans reason drinking from a canteen
Good bad or indifference Railway Bridge over a lagoon
Attributed to the repetition of our raccoon
Tenacity of hat-reds domestic Halloween
Common factor is similarity in work
Rode over smoking globes of turds
Nocturnal perambulation crucified shirt
Rearing high a proud feathering trail
Mutate celibate gas-tight in dirt
Less than the arc which it subtends
Wild Curiosity
The silence was not a long duration
War department library
Bare pearls and lilac veils
She will not forgive you
Should have been a terrible blow
War departments lumpy bed
Luck starts as I suddenly recalled
When the well was out
Quality peculiar to desert storm
Enough with these rides with your dad
Quality peculiar to the dry desert present
When the tide was out
When all is said
Favoring several melodious
I am very happy
Ardent Black Opal
You heard them say not death by Arsenic
Dreaming of eating Corn lanky simpleton
One Two Three sillies Arithmetic
Her never things fly too high
Irishmans new bed his Coffin Palace
Invented in a lovely briber horrify
She died Must be dammed unpleasant pie
Ardent black opal crows Chalice
Utahs Plague
White hanker-chief masks sail
The Azul COVID 19 dark skys ahead
Above us clusters of Red Rock Respirators
With one online Mass Priest
Licks angry spirit juices
Coffin views from the Mount Olive Press
Red-mask risk of life to save life
Souls condiment not by bread alone
Besmirched the lily, until his last days
Voluntary poverty is bitter milk
High life, in my Truck on the red road
Chief Coffee-House table-lickers last trail
Utahs plague like cavity of a mountain
Indigo Brew
Spiritual in its irony like Indigo Brew, purity delight
A charmed woman such eyes of youth
Primeval forest cruise, unnipped with aluminiferous
Uneven unpolished dark surface of truth
Unexpected Post Womans double door knock wit
Absence of light disturb her never more
Light would disturb her sit
Lower middle and upper hills of paper work
Sonnet CCCXXXXVIII
Hers are the medium pair of skates
Something between them happened surprised electromagnetics
Full blown Water Lily bogus poetic
Lapses of purely domestically erring date
Sight of the Whipping Post came too late
Home life surroundings permeated sympathies
Loop Line Railway foot path mate
Crying around the crackling Yule Log Burdensome
Mumbles incoherently in the museum
Indecent uproars and catcalls Christendom
Alleged guilty weak case quarrelsome
Cobblers especial atavist crematorium
Mosaic Code prosily Platinum
Sonnet CCCXXXXII
Waving oriental palms lemon green
The Worlds greatest reformers light
Chapter of saints plutocratic twilight
A Black Skull Cap burning Kerosene
Keep back the crowd cornices Nazarene
Interplanetary transmitters daylight
Women whisper eagerly at night
Very puissant law and merci Caffeine
Rich rolling utterances under her hat
Ney Pots rainspouts whistling in the breeze
Icky licky mickey sticky Bat
Knobbed with knuckled buster Bees
Slipper-slapper hand slides over her cat
Toilet tank of life disease
