Bryan Taplits Poems

I paid her once a compliment
Flattered, she fluttered her eyes,
Yes, I was preparing for another affair-
So I got ready for my new enterprise.
...

The thing with age that lets you down-
until you figuratively creep on the ground,
Retrieving what no longer is there
A quest imprinted-no longer found.
...

What a store and a delight-
A stratagem which I believe,
A fevered fount
(Where votes all count) -
...

A cloud came out, the sun went in
More drizzle was my life
I prayed then hoped-but just got rope-
My heart: All slice and diced!
...

Oh. How the mighty has fallen.
Oh. How his family now weeps.
Oh. How the good ground now lays sodden,
As the mighty who's fallen now sleeps.
...

The ant it crawled and crawled and crawled
to get out of the sun,
It thought itself
'I'm very smart'-
...

This Summer-Time, my future plan
I dote on it today,
A pioneered and vast new land
And where I choose to play.
...

Yes, they I revere
As their image appears
And I recall as the memories flow,
For they are my present my past-
...

Regulate till doomsday
Tax when in doubt
Repeal all current liberties
When the payers begin to pout.
...

Life, is ever short or long
-under a re-repeating sun-
But you'll always be buried alone,
Either 'Advance' or 'Retreat'
...
