Best An Arm And A Leg Poems

It 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...

They 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" 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...

Two 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....

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 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...

Lucky 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...

PTSD, 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...

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...

We 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.

Stroke meditation left side
I AM RESTING, CALM, RELAXED, MY EYES are CLOSED.
MY ARMS AND LEGS ARE FLEXIBLE…..
I FEEL FREE, RELAXED……NOTHING DISTRACTS ME…I LET MYSELF BE DRAWN ALONG …I AM BREATHING SLOWLY, REGULARLY…
I AM QUITE RELAXED…A WONDERFUL PEACEFULNESS ENVELOPS MY BODY…..
IN THIS STATE OF PEACE, I...

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...

I 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...

How 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...
