12 skulls talk at an important meeting

By Gary Lindorff

If the leader dips then so does the next and the next / Looks fine from a hundred feet / All is well / M&M stands for Mars and Murrie

::::::::

First skull: Making friends on the way to Jupiter

Making friends with the ocean

If the leader dips then so does the next and the next

Looks fine from a hundred feet

All is well

M&M stands for Mars and Murrie

Private boy plucking on string resonates

Spread the words

Second skull: Do not feed the bad

Hello what is your name?

Follow the leader

Third skull: All the way down the line like a wave

That no one notices

Hello there

Fourth skull: The 100 folds in a chef's hat represent 100 ways to cook an egg

The slice is our most useful type

Do you have a bandaid?

(My toe is bleeding)

The longest wedding veil was longer than 63 football fields

Those poking around are the first tier of color saturists

Fifth skull: I know what you mean

Product code: R050

Is it good to see you?

Sixth skull: Declare a formats slice with three message formats

The first to generate a random number for selecting an item

Will request a greeting

Seventh skull: But some cats are allergic to people

Eighth skull: Some ducks are allergic to horses

Sit tight.

Comes with a matching A7 envelope

I am coming for you

Ninth skull: That reminds me of a tear-jerker

Bring your umbrella

Tenth skull: The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland

What the sun is doing or that child

Eleventh skull: The voices of Mickey and Minnie Mouse got married

Call out by 7s and then subtract yourselves by 4

Report on every third Monday

Which will serve him well later in life

Twelfth skull: Shall I cut you in?

Though how I cannot say


.....................

Here is another poem about skulls:

Skulls

This is the first of no more

Poems about many skulls.

This poem is about just one of the many skulls.

Skull 100: "Where is everybody?"

Only skull 100 can talk.

If skulls could talk
They would be asking too many questions.

Authors Bio:

Gary Lindorff is a poet, writer, blogger and author of five nonfiction books, three collections of poetry, "Children to the Mountain", "The Last recurrent Dream" (Two Plum Press), "Conversations with Poetry (coauthored with Tom Cowan), and a memoir, "Finding Myself in Time: Facing the Music". Lindorff calls himself an activist poet, channeling his activism through poetic voice. He also writes with other voices in other poetic styles: ecstatic, experimental and performance and a new genre, sand-blasted poems where he randomly picks sentence fragments from books drawn from his library, lists them, divides them into stanzas and looks for patterns. Sand-blasted poems are meant to be performed aloud with musical accompaniment.


He is a practicing dream worker(with a strong, Jungian background) and a shamanic practitioner. His shamanic work is continually deepening his partnership with the land. This work can assume many forms, solo and communal, among them: prayer, vision questing, ritual sweating, and sharing stories by the fire. He is a born-pacifist and attempts to walk the path of non-violence believing that no war is necessary or inevitable.
