Best An Arm And A Leg Poems
Plane Crashes Fate Takes OverIt was Christmas Eve and I was at the airport,
Not a soul in sight, almost deserted, it was 10.00 pm,
Only two hours before Christmas day,
Perhaps if I got on a plane, I would see Santa in his sleigh.
I lined up at the counters that were...

Broken DreamsThey said it was just a passing fad
Dark clouds continue to stay
You have to take the good with the bad
But the bad just won't go away
They tell you to live the American dream
And fight for that dream at all cost
But now we all live the...

At Plaza SquareAt “Plaza" square
Where sugary stars kindle for the evening,
A forgetting child wake up from the nap,
Weeping over, dull night where the time flee
as water drains into along distance-
Long evening, tossing transparent spirit
By light clouds, drizzle on sad...

In the EndTwo swigs of tequilla
Strawberry Daiquri
A pair of scissors
Some anger
Pain
Emptiness
An arm and a leg
Meke a good time
For shedding some blood
Tears anyone?
Breaths feel cool
Taste rebelious....

Ode To a Veteran
What is a Veteran?
A veteran is a man ,or woman that has been to war
and fought for our Country and our freedom.
A Veteran is sometimes an unsung hero. One that
we never hear about and sometimes He, or she
is just forgotten.
Today I want to...

Loss of a MateLoss of a Mate
By Leonard Kleeman
The loss of a mate is a terrible thing,
particularly when wed together for over 50 years.
You will miss your mate all the time
and for the rest of your life, no matter what happens.
It is like losing...

The Lucky OnesLucky ones
Your pay is to break, to hurt, be bent and stink,
the bank is your body, selling labor the means.
A wage is a a wave of dread
for the very dinner on your plate.
Again with the pinto beans.
You vacation is those times you...

PtsdPTSD, this is nothing that's new,
it's just a new label to stick on you
They now blame it on the wars today,
unless for your trauma they have to pay.
Then all of a sudden, it changes it's name,
and you are accused of the malingering game.
So you lost...

Mothers Day,I remember, across the lake
in late afternoon taking playtime,
how visiting children in my line
of vision gleefully hurled themselves
into the water from a small dock
rocking summer, reinventing childhood's
simple pleasure that did not cost
an arm and a leg, (hopefully) -- the lake
is...

NauseousWe now have six people with absolute power.
Is this really a victory or just our darkest hour?
Our God given free will is no longer in play.
Fifty years of progress has been lost to us this day.
Our laws can be changed behind a locked private door.
I...

My Charm and HumblenessWith my tongue planted firmly in my cheek...
We certainly can't all be movie stars
Who'd be left to go to the show
I don't mind being the one to sacrifice
It's not about the big heaps of dough
Yes, the sacrifice would be a mighty one
But I'm prepared for...

Santa ClawedI heard a rumour that I never knew
Santa delivers to animals too
But, throughout the ages
He’s feared beasts in cages
So he leaves till last, his trip to the zoo
Small children, they play the game right
Of Santa they never catch sight
In the Amazon halls
Santa lost both...

I WonderHow many pleats perfect the fall in Radha’s sari?
What portion of turmeric flawlessly lights up mum’s curry?
Without spice, how can some people have last names like, ‘Achari’?
When meeting after long, why does Tom ask Harry, ‘What’s the story?’
Why do tiny fruits have to cost an...
