POEM: Awe is Won

Posted on April 20, 2026 by Top Pun

Violence is a low bar where people go to pound down, that unquenchable thirst…

Awe is Won

When life is divided
There are too fundamental questions
Violence is the answer
Two neither

POEM: Living in My Mined

Posted on April 19, 2026 by Top Pun

This poem is about sorting out what is mine and not mine…

Living in My Mined

I searched the whirled
It was what
It was all a bout
And soully after
A sweeping
Inspection
And awe-embracing travails
Did I
Whys up
What was mine
To mine

POEM: Showing Up

Posted on April 19, 2026 by Top Pun

There is no gift like the present. Just say “YES” to presence…

Showing Up

May I
Just
Show up
With nothing in hand
Accept enveloping arms
Offering presence
That assurest invitation
Sow much more than
What we may no

POEM: Not My Own

Posted on April 18, 2026 by Top Pun

I was razed on autonomy, the notion that I am the captain of my own destiny; I suspect that this is like water to fish in American culture. The shadow of this is being a control freak. I have learned that life is much, much bigger than me. I live in a sea of grace AND vagaries — often sublimely beautiful, often ignorant and unkind. I have learned that the antidote for overdosing on the illusion of control is letting go and letting God. Fortunately, I have a profound sense of a beneficent universe, a loving God, with deep harmonies and order that I cannot fully see in the whirled of chaos and hurt. This poem is a tip of the hat to the 99.9999999999% of the cosmos that I have no control over…

Not My Own

I am
Knot the author of life
In naked truth
I am
Barely the author of my own
Life
Amor likely
Then knot
The sores of my own being
In that vane temp
I, I, captain
Of awe that
I am
As mirror vagaries
Ahead beclouded
A heart shrouded
As overcast that mettle
In that crucible of now
And unsettled prospects
And what remains
Moltin’
Taking to the shed
Fore a beaten
As won
And unending seconds
May I have another
Surly
Thank you
Fore the heart of life
Not my own

POEM: Mortality Creeps

Posted on April 17, 2026 by Top Pun

This poem is about our gerontocracy, particularly in Congress, even more so the Senate. I suspect that even in our broader culture the general accrual of power and wealth with “seniority” is the larger dynamic. I fear that in our largest looming existential crisis, climate chaos, the simple fact of being much closer to one’s own death than the average person blunts the saliency and importance of avoiding global calamity. I hope to only grow more radical as long as I get to grow older…

Mortality Creeps

The gerontocracy ruse
The whirled
The dying plan it
As mortality creeps

POEM: Hollowed Be His Name

Posted on April 16, 2026 by Top Pun

The name of Trump will surly be a villain in world history. Let US make this come swiftly…

Hollowed Be His Name

Halve you herd
The real state guy

Billed her of Brooklyn bridges
And boarder lyin’ walls
The Don metes realty
Sow much bigger
Then himself
Hollowed be his name

POEM: A Door, Me

Posted on April 15, 2026 by Top Pun

I’ve added a poem for my Trump Jesus “doctored” image…

A Door, Me

I am the weigh
The truth, lite

Unhinged
The King of Kings
With no close
Leading no wear

Trump Jesus “Doctored”

Posted on April 14, 2026 by Top Pun

I couldn’t resist doctoring this pic. Trump claimed that in his Trump Jesus picture that he was a doctor, more red cross than wooden cross. Of course, everyone knows that the light goes in the other end to properly disinfect…

POEM: Yore Superpower

Posted on April 14, 2026 by Top Pun

A poem about Disruptor-in-chief Trump’s super power of not caring hastening the accostly rot of American power and empire…

Yore Superpower

Hour dear leader
In his wish caste
Did reckon
His super power
Knot caring
That Trump it
Of his own
Specious of victory
That calumny nation
His peak for fit
Dead on a rival
And awe that remains
A power full lyin’ backer
Sow moving
The goal post
His virtual realty
As if
Ever more
TD US
And what might be
The soul accost
And blood letting
Of buy gones
Be bye gones
As sum kind
Of surpassing reckoning
And amor sow caring

POEM: Little Donnie Going, Home

Posted on April 13, 2026 by Top Pun

Little Donnie’s inner chide, finds its home in “Potty Time USA”…

Little Donnie Going, Home

Wince up on a time
His daddy tolled him
To be
A killer
And love that
Consummate snatch
Of defeat
From the jawboning of victory
The cause and solution
Too awe of his problems
Know madder
What!?
It’s awe a bout
Timing
Little Donnie going
Home
Potty time USA

POEM: The Best I Metaphor

Posted on April 12, 2026 by Top Pun

The soul plays I am called to…

The Best I Metaphor

Hear arises
A tapestry of metaphors
Sum call
Religion
Yet holy uncaptured by words
Nor a scribe
Who you
Be
Long to
They’re abides
Wear no deed
Possesses won soul
An un-brake-able keep
The best I ever metaphor
Collected
Yet not quiet herd
That irrepressible summon, never some out
In no weigh a loan
Awe to gather now

POEM: The Man™ – Owed to The Man Squared

Posted on April 12, 2026 by Top Pun

This poem is dedicated to “The Man™”– currently on a run of the DT’s — flailing in his war on Iran, some won that wouldn’t know peace if it hit him in the ahead…

The Man™ – Owed to The Man Squared

He is Narcissus
With a new clear bomb
When he looks in
The mere
Limpid pools
What does he sea?
The Man™
Soully UN Abel
To efface
The impossible
That is
Seize himself
The all
Might he
Sees fire
Pilloried
In too be or knot to be
As wear have
Awe the flowers gone
To grave yar’s
Every wearer

POEM: Can You Sea It?

Posted on April 10, 2026 by Top Pun

Can You Sea It?

I am
Know longer taking
Invitations from cramped quarters
And haves
Halving little, a peel
Eye now
Sea something
Sow big
That it is
Elusive
More than can
Holed
In won life
Can you sea it?

POEM: Cerberus

Posted on April 7, 2026 by Top Pun

The Bully-in-Chief is threatening to end Iranian civilization, unleashing hell…

Cerberus

He unloosed the dogs of war
The hounds of hell
Soully mything every point
The biggest looser ever

NOTE: Cerberus is the hound of hell in Greek mythology.

POEM: Axes of Evil

Posted on April 6, 2026 by Top Pun

A poem about the evil twins of Trump and Netanyahu…

Axes of Evil

If you halve too
Ax
Perhaps you can take
Your lumps together
Trump and Netanyahu
A pare
Of awe that is laudable and applaudable
Terrible twins
Pernicious and ridiculous
The perfect hacks
Hitting it
Off
They’ve got the chops
Whacks on
Whacks off
Chips off the block
Until nothing left
And awe is afar right

POEM: Madame Amaryllis

Posted on April 5, 2026 by Top Pun

A Spring poem. An Easter poem…

Madame Amaryllis

Too bloom
In what is
Abut sacred moments
The realization
Of what many times peers
As a barren stalk

Circles round

That you would like

Too dwell in

POEM: Thread Bare

Posted on April 3, 2026 by Top Pun

The naked truth is that our true power is to be fearless in our vulnerability. Happy Good Friday!

Thread Bare

Take your choice
Pull on any thread
And you may well
Dis cover
Naked truth
More than thread bear
It is awe
Connected
More than any won can say
Sew what
To life re-nude
