World-Class Poetry

Two poetry books I've written over many years. The content is vulgar and intentionally immature in quality, mostly on the subjects of feigned melodrama and ridiculing poetry. A few serious works are thrown in, if you can spot them.

They are both currently available free to download via .epub at the provided links, as well as many other popular sites including B&N, Nook, and iTunes. Perhaps not Amazon, as they make things confusing.

The Poet's Poet

Juvenile Takes on Adult Themes

To mark this momentous occasion of writing two poetry books and lacking the patience to even post a link until years after the fact, this post will end on a poem:

Explaining Why I’m the Best Poet of the 21st Century in the Form of a Poem

Like it’s been said
With 90s existentialism
“Everything’s in quotations”
Or a self-reference
It’s the way of the new world, pig
Let’s bleed, pig
In my world
Everything’s a Cobra reference
That’s how I’m the realist
Realism isn’t real
It’s real with an ism
Real is phony is real again
There it is
Your moment of zen
Real is freedom
Not your constraints
Real is human nature
Like Napoleon perched upon a peacock
Bossing around your in-laws
Walking through your fields
With that slow duck walk
Musket at my hip
You can’t stop this irreverence
You can’t pull the plug on fun
Sure the poems suck
But Andrew Dice Clay’s were worse
You gave him the 80s
You low-brow twits
You Alanis Morrisette-championing
Never-seeing-good-art
Always-looking-for-a-way-out
Wanting-to-seem-deep
Pretending
Pretentious-fans-of-pigs-shitting
Staring-into-the-eyes-of-death-blindly
Couldn’t-find-the-tornado’s-eye-you’re-in
Van-Gogh,-seriously
No-one-could-realize-he-was-alright
Starry-Night-and-shite
50-years-from-now
It’ll-be-just-me-and-Denver-the-Last-Dinosaur
Enjoying-the-company-of-Playboy-bunnies
Keeping-warm-by-a-fire
Of-burning-Mark-Rothko-paintings
At-age-80
Reveling-in-late-blooming-success
Popping-Cialis-and-Percocets
And-you-will-still-believe
In-a-creator
And-Jewel’s-poetry
