Google's doodles fill my screen

Google's doodles fill my screen,
artworks full of spit and spleen.
Fill me now my own art make,
make me uber for land's sake.

I love the flowering of the flower

I love the flowering of the flower
grows in Egypt's rise-up power.
Tea Party people need take heed
when the people take their seed.

Watson Fever

Swirling avatar colored green,
Yellow – shrinking from the screen,
HAL could be proud of him:
Bastard spawn of I.B.M.

Ken and Brad, buzzer queens:
Watson sends them lost between
The microseconds it transpires
Before the buzzer light expires.

Lincoln's Birthday CPAC Bash

In the midst of teasing secessionists,

these Tenther-proclaiming States' rightists

and Fourteenth Amendment revisionists,

Abe Lincoln comes into their fold —

leaves a log in their crystal punch bowl.

craigslist lit: protagonist looking . . .

for role in novel or screenplay
able to fill in superhero dress

in all the tight places

can save damsels or mansels in distress
can solve crimes with Sherlockian cachet
can pursue fierce antagonists

in round-the-world chases

and command spaceships with Kirkian poise
able to decrypt and expose historical myth
can race fast cars and make lots of noise

I'm pleased to offer my service herewith

There's an app for that blues

Want something to do and need it stat?
There's an app for that blues.

Put on a few and want to lose fat?
There's an app for that blues.

When it's just you and want to chat—
There's an app for that blues.

Sharing those two cute pics of the cat?
There's an app for that blues.

Find someone to woo at the drop of the hat?
There's an app for that blues.

Hungry to view a place to eat at?
There's an app for that blues.

Need to get through a lovers' spat?
There's an app for that blues.

Buy something to shoo attacks of the gnat?
There's an app for that blues.

Whenever you're blue and feeling flat—
There's an app for that blues.

Super domes

Cathedral of the new age,
the stage of sport and pop bands,
the billion dollar outrage:
these bubbles in the heartlands —

What temples, mosques, or churches
have funny hats and badges
like ones seen from their perches? —
of "pigskin" pilgrims' hajjes.

Testament

No novel will my life inspire —
biographers will look elsewhere —
nor playwrights need an actor hire
to play one so outside the glare.

Though what I know is what I'll leave:
the trace of lore and comedy,
the bits of verse and wordy weave —
electric'ly bequeathed by me.

For the Egyptian revolution

Where pyramids once schemed behind a cryptic Sphinx,

where Cleopatra once ruled in black pearls and minks:

Egyptians marching up to democracy's brinks

and crying "Give us back our land. Mubarak stinks!"
