"A Day's Weather" poetry book by John Kaniecki

Rain

Down the rains came,

Splattering heavenly tears

Mourning over sinful years

Mankind is still the same

Playing the part of the fool

Same today as yesterday

We cannot even obey

The simple Golden Rule

And thus begins an epic poem…

“A Day’s Weather” is my first poetry chapbook. The date on the book I have recorded is January 25, 1991, but I am sure that the writing is older than that. This journey through time shows my mind and my writing when my epic literary journey began.

Refreshing

Hey will you be my friend

We’ll be loyal to the end

We can share our toys

Laughs innocent boys

They are guiltless when they

Forget their father’s way

Colt arise

Open your eyes

Life has just begun

Soon you will run

Nuzzled by mother’s nose

How graceful a horse grows

Walking in but a day

Soon galloping on his way

Gittup, gittup and run

Life has just begun

“A Day’s Weather” explores the world poetically expressing each phase of the weather in poetic form. It is a warm and endearing book. It is ideal for a child approaching their teenage years. It is a great introduction to the world of poetry.

The Rainbow

What could be better than this?

A day filled with overwhelming bliss

Wonders will never cease

How great are my people

Look up in the heavens with a glow

There lies a glorious rainbow

Sevens rays a colored delight

Fills my heart with unending light

In Our Land Of Oz by John Kaniecki

In Our Land of Oz

By John Kaniecki

Tin Man leads Scarecrow

On the Yellow Brick Road

Strolling, rolling always on the go

Dorothy in the sweetness of her teens

Oh if only you could know

What lurks between the obscenes

Tin Man cruel and vile

Scarecrow in constant denial

As the vibrant, virgin whore

Poses for a camera flash

Rolling Stone defines the score

And they pay you off in cash

On the Yellow Brick Road

Tin Man calculates psychological illusion

Scarecrow charges blindly as he pathetically screams

As Dorothy, she softly dreams

For some way out of innocent confusion

And Lions in Masses abound

Quiet as cowardly mice making no sound

As Oz sits upon the throne

And my has apathy grown

And Scarecrow is clinically insane

Intoxicating using anything for the pain

On the Yellow Brick Road

Oz’ voice thunders above the crowd

Who cares what he says it’s plenty loud

Tin Man silently, privately laments

Depraved darkness with vampiric desire

No heart, no soul, to kindle any fire

A strict rule, nobody repents

On the Yellow Brick Road

Ruby Red Slippers click, click, click, three times

If you’re the Law you can commit no crimes

And Chief Joseph laughs in most bitter tears

Oz is far worse than any of his fears

Dorothy lip syncs and gets the lyrics wrong

While Hopi dance singing tomorrow’s song

Ask Langston Hughes when it will explode

On the Yellow Brick Road

Scarecrow song lyric by John Kaniecki

This gem is from an attempt to at a concept album. It got eight song lyrics into it. If you are a musician and would like to collaborate send me a message. 

Scarecrow

I was as thin as the wind

My dirty long hair was a sin

The holes in my jeans weren’t style

Still I did my best to smile

Mother was always pushing me out

Another uncle visiting no doubt

An x rated deflated reality

Best to flee to a happy fantasy

I was always on the go

Went by the name scarecrow

I have secrets you don’t know

Please call me scarecrow

It’s a terrible thing to want to die

When like rain endless tears I cry

I would like to ask the Good Lord why

But I hear loud and clear he’s but a lie

I was always on the go

Went by the name scarecrow

I have secrets you don’t know

Please call me scarecrow

Seven years old and the world is black

I’m going to run never coming back

But I know the dangers of the street

What children will do for a bite to eat

I was always on the go

Went by the name scarecrow

I have secrets you don’t know

Please call me scarecrow

I am hollow with a brain of straw

Believing in love was my tragic flaw

I wish I went blind seeing what I saw

You can never leave once you enter the door

I was always on the go

Went by the name scarecrow

I have secrets you don’t know

Please call me scarecrow

"Drone Man" by John Kaniecki

Drone Man

by John Kaniecki 

My favorite pit bull Clarence

His savage sharp teeth

Protrudes from his drooling mouth

Mimicking a Lion in starved rage

Carefully, cautiously

We go on a pleasant stroll

Over green hills and through

Valleys of yellow laughing lilies

His studded leather collar sturdy

The short leash tautly secure

We arrive at the Blue Lagoon

Flocks of diverse birds gather

Joyful choirs singing glorious poetic choruses

I flash a picture before Clarence

An image of the suspected target duck

Sketched personally with my presidential pen

I tie a sacred red, white and blue bandana

Over my pit bull’s bulging eyes

Effectively blinding him

I remove all restraints

I issue stern and proper binding orders

“Go and Kill!!!” I bark out

Off he rides into the sunset

Moments later Clarence returns

Colorful feathers fill his obedient mouth

SO NOT SORRY!!!

Our suspected terrorists

Was a family on the way to a wedding!?!

Welcome to the world of collateral damage

Thank Allah it was in Yemen

Cause if that shit happened here

We would Nuke Em.

"Innocent In Jail" by John Kaniecki

Innocent In Jail

by John Kaniecki

I know every crack on the ceiling

I ain't just feeling blue

I am the ocean

I am the sea

I am a man

Longing to be free

The system ain't blind

It was meant to bind

Slavery

Political oppression

That is the lesson

That the darker your skin

The greater your sin

And if you don't wanna serve the man

And you ain't hip to the plan

Then damn

Your soul

They'll prove whose in control

See the country's justice system fail

A common tale

Innocent in jail
