Wednesday poetry slam by The Elusive Robert Denby


Hi everyone, LL here. 

Today we have the second batch of poems which Robert (Kris) sent me. As a fellow poet, all I can say is that I wish I had written these.

Abductions

The universe is nothing

but a chasm to be crossed
so a fleet of flying

saucers can settle into 
a geosynchronous orbit

around you.  And your  

anus.

Good News

All these 
articles in The
Atlantic
and The New
Yorker
while 
America
keeps on
doing what
it was
going 
to do
anyway.

RESIDENTS DEMAND EXPLANATION AFTER MUDSLIDE

Okay, so when heavy rains and a hillside love each other very much...

Flash of Genius

1959.  As his
wife was preparing
to so something
with grilled pork 
roast in the kitchen,
he stared at the rotary
phone on the desk in
his den and pondered.
Hmm.  If only I could
look at naked women
on this thing instead
of calling the office...

Heads Without Stems

How many
daisies
had to die
so you could
spell out KINDNESS
and LOVE
on the front 
lawn?
