Climb trees.

Stop!

There’s a pattern to this.
Shut up.

I said stop!

Dream On – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on September 16, 2009

Never fail to dream.
Believe there is more,
Life giving magic streams,
Bubbling on golden shores.

Or passion rending fantasies
Whose shades twist and never end,
Because of a visionary
Who builds upon a promised land.

Wear within your broken heart
The lock of happiness and joy
That comes from the dreamer’s art
Played recklessly in thoughtful ploy.

Be imagination’s well,
Even if you think you can’t.
Thrive through times of trial
And find and use all your talents.

Use the tools God gave you.
Dream, hope, and live again.
Do what spirits do,
And love, dream, fly, spin.

And do it all again.

Black Rain – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on September 11, 2009

Fits rock bright days
when the black rain
comes down.  My head
hurts so much.  Rainbow
drops will spill
my life blood

pumps the agony
further along.  Hurt
feels the poison collect
in tiny dark pools
inside.  Like gators
come to feed,

the hurts
fling themselves
on My battered psyche.
The reptilian voices
ring and beat
the waves
that seek to drown
my head.  But the whales
of hope drift

over to the gentle
shores.  Hopes drag
only a few strands
of hot seaweed
to blank the stares
of fits that bind
when the rain falls
black.

The Strokes of Doom – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on September 8, 2009

Pounding round and round
Fingers up and fingers down.

Each key a stroke of doom
In the early afternoon.

The project must with grace
Be placed on the boss’s plate.

Ere his pronouncement make
And in the unemployment line wait.

The Birth of Reason – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on September 4, 2009

The simpleness of insanity
is reflected in golden green
when tin’s polluted face beams
up at the passerby from the pond.

The deft hand of embarrassment
then claims his victim’s senses
as he (the victim) comprehends
the trash we fling at the gods.

Cere’s loving harvest gift
is brought up and pummeled
to make candy bars and rubble
sing the woes of unjust hogs.

The blight of man hovers o’er creation
like shades in the warmth of evening,
and creature stops great, starts believing
the crass counsel of foolish pawns.

Reason unreasonable, unreadable,
credulous, penniless, proken in pity,
becomes the forte of insecurity
while new algae covers the frogs.

Heavy with the fear of understanding
the victim turns his countenance
away from dark circumstance
to find a more apathetic god.

Words – A Poem By Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on August 14, 2009

Hasty words, pasty words
Sounding on my head.
Sprung about
By hateful elves
To disquiet the thoughts of men.

Soft words, kind words
Bouncing on my ears.
Wrung out forcefully
Thru training
Of long and tearful years.

Other words, smother words
Neither here nor there.
Filling up vacant days
Like vacuums
Piling polluted airs.

The Ballad of Johnny Trimbold – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on August 12, 2009

Little Jonny Trimbold tumbled
Across the cold and brittle mould.
His steps were lowered and faltered
Before the master’s heavy halter.

Arise oh Johnny arise
Came another’s cries
Though deaf on Johnny’s ears.

Up now stumbled Johhny Trimbold
Driven on by lashes and thorns
Heedless then of the growing scorn
Growing within his head anon.

Press on oh Johnny press on
Came the voice of calm
But fell deaf on Johnny’s ears.

Johnny Trimbold still pulled the weight
Though aged and hard his akward gait
Pulled him across the silent mould,
And sighed for weary in the cold.

Come stay oh Johnny, come stay
Whispered the voice again
But deaf on Johnny’s ears.

At last brought down from toil and strife
No longer was cut by lash or knife
Johnny set down his deep despair
Each guilty brick to time and air.

To rest, dear Johnny, to rest
A call so soft and breathless
Tho deaf, now Johnny could hear.

Posted by admin on July 17, 2009

Whip Stickitt
Get a ticket
Then go lick it.

About a toffit
To Ms. Moffit
On a loftit.

Ham scramble
In a bramble
I can ramble.

Chewing Gum – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on July 10, 2009

Icky, sticky, chewy.
Chomp, Squish, Ooze.
Day and Night she chews.

Doesn’t spit.
Doesn’t swallow.
All the taste is gone.

Behind her ear.
In her hair.
Sticky everywhere.

Around her toes.
On her nose.

Sticky fingers
Sticky thumbs
Sticky elbows
Sticky gum.

Ten Years

Posted by admin on July 8, 2009

A decade.
High School twice over.
All that time and nobody but you.

A thrill.
More than just fun.
Everyday and nobody but you.

A picture,
Books of photos,
Filled with kids and memories with you.

A dream,
Waking too soon,
Only one lifetime to share with you.
