Best Spray Can Poems

Some people call it breakfast which makes me snicker and giggle
It might have been since it starts with a pancake or two
except then I add extra things to make it into a dessert.

At the very least I add a pacakage of vanilla pudding,
a teaspoon of...

White Feathers Sprayed Red
We war with impunity

And weaponise such things as the 
beauty of flowers

And all for what ?

When come today we have to guard the statues and Cenotaph that commemorate our fallen heroes

Only for them to suffer in death the indignity of being treated with such contempt...

Holey Moley Find Batman Slowly.
Batman and Robin leap through the smashed vault door.

Robin: " Holey moley, Batman, You were right! They're robbing the bank!"
Batman: " Right you are, Robin. What a fiendishly clever criminal prank!"
Holey Moley: " So you spotted me, Twin Tumors! I'm so tired of you two!"

Tragedy On a Wednesday

Nothing important happened today,
according to an omission 
in the local newspaper Metro page
The death of my best friend ... my husband,
this sad story of injustice was missing
Such a horrible ghetto tragedy
wasn’t worth one drop of black ink
A bucket of widow tears,
and a heavy casket of...

Oh Moles
A translucent but lucid idea is best held by a pea in a pod. A pea in a pod is protected whilst in the pod but shelling the peas means that the pea would then be subject to much misery. One might call it freedom...

Hound Dog Graffitti
The scream and shudder blasts of noise from the traffic passing by
Could not silence the echo of a pain filled whimper and whine
Floating down a dustbin lined alley, the gloom forever drab
The ribs of the puppy, like bars on a cage, pierced through the shade.

Graffiti...

Love On An Overpass
This is a tale of love so rare the kind both lost and found,
A story too big to keep inside or even on the ground.

As I traveled the road on my way to work one day,
I read a sign that I saw, to see what...

The Sky Grows Old
If the sky truly felt for us it would grow old too
Such words I read, and thought
It does grow old, each day
The hours tick its youth away
Late autumn fades its light
Dressed drab in old lady greys and browns
Bent low, pressed and tired
Winter-wrinkled, puckered up in...

A Jolly Fisherman
Once there was a really tall, jolly fisherman
Who had a slightly crooked nose, named Dan
Dan, the ever-Jolly fisherman came from Japan
And loved to show off his gigantic left hand
that helped him play the cymbals in a jazz band
He played cymbals better then anyone in the...

Life By the Gun
People creep by looking to score.
Its hell in the city.
Ya hear shots and ya hit the floor.

You try to keep it in check.
Smoke that blunt sip that forty.
Pretend your nerves arent a wreck.

You gotta see befor ya step cause arond the 
corner somone does creep.
Ya...

Premium Member Egg Bomb
I accidentally let one loose -
like an egg bomb laid by a sick goose.
It smelled like a place where they mass produce
sulfuric acid for nostril abuse!
I got out the spray can to introduce
sweet smell to the air. It couldn’t reduce
the odor! The stench was so...

Graffiti
that drawing of a flower
on what was plain concrete
is someone wishing there was life
underneath their feet

and that spray-can painting
of the sunrise on the bridge
is someone's dream they could escape
from the somber life they live...

It's going to be another hot Amarillo day, but as I emerge from my car, the morning is still only warm with a gentle breeze blowing.  I quickly cross the frontage road and head down the packed earth path.  In the distance, I...

Caught Up
Don’t get caught up with the madness
Stay anti, so you don’t have to deal with sadness
Politicians make us victims of the system
Trick us to love them, that’s why I don’t hear them or listen
There always hating on our history
Buy a spray can and go decorate...

Hi, I’m young, I want to belong,
I come from the school of hard knocks.
So I stamp my tag, wherever I want,
On the side of the shipping train box.

Hi, well, I’m the unemployed artist,
With a political agenda display.
I leave it in all noticeable spots,
With a large...
