Best Ankle Poems

I took off my shoes 
and stood ankle deep
in the shallow reach and run
of the waves. I felt a sudden
cold, the slow sink of my feet
into wet sand, the gentle pull
of the outgoing tide,
then a tickle of seaweed 
as it tangled around my shin.

There are...

no pain
no gain
totally true
but what happens when your hurt all the time?
sprained wrist
sprained ankle
soon i'll brake it
and i'll feel a diffrent pain
one of these days...

Alone, aging actor alive after abuse.
Adult adept, adapt action above acute ankle.
Admit ached, agree affix aptly crepe.
Ashen apres, amigo angry apart afore. 
Asked aloof aunty avoid awful baloo.
Alarm nurse ahead, agony alert.
Aggro afoot...adios amigo....

The Sound of Distant Ankle Bells


Memories of those delicate tinkling bells,
casually fastened around calloused feet,

take hold of my waking moments,

and fling my thoughts back to a distant time,
where folk-songs were heartily sung,
joyful, yet hopelessly out of rhyme.


I barely saw her, a construction labourer perhaps,
hauling bricks,...

My cousin is wearing an ankle bracelet because he got in trouble with the police.
He's always getting himself in trouble, his mischievousness will never cease.
He was given the ankle monitor and placed under house arrest.
Just thinking about his situation is enough to make a person...

Writhing and slithering, enters a hissing snake.
What a foolish court jester he would make.
Belles on his toes, an attitude of 'up your nose.'
No warning is needed when he creeps around.
His strikes aren't lethal from on the ground.

Yet, he tries to bite ankles... what a joke.
He's...

Clink-clink
Black panther eyes peering 
thru the concrete canopy
What do they see in the blood-smoke midnight air ... 
safari sound waves shocking,
moving the ghetto leaves
What do the tree leopard tar-pitch, onyx ears hear ... 
a white rhino with a little horn tooting
Bars and Stripes liberty hypocrisy
Star...

I have been here waiting for you
ankle deep in the salty sea
surrendering away my pride as I gaze into
the spent promises that lap at my ankles.
waves created from the shipwrecked dreams
of what we wished we would be.
life's luxuries picked at by ever present seagulls;
the true...

When I was a teen, an ankle chain
Was given by one ready
To show the world that as a couple,
They were “going steady.”

It often came in gold, with hearts 
On which one could engrave
The sweethearts’ names, a token meant
To cherish and to save.

I never had one...

Hello young man! I surely have heard a lot about you.
I drove here as soon as I heard the news,
And I’ve something to say if you can excuse.
 
God gave a bird in my nest, we call her Steffy.
She grew up fair, slim, silent but...

I twisted an ankle
On a word,
One I used,
Not one I heard...

The pain rose straight up
the spine
Because that foolish word
was solely mine

When brain and mouth
Of two different a land 
Stangers to the other
Cover my mouth with my hand...

I twisted an ankle
I hurt someone
Oh, foolish man
What have...

The Showing of The Ankle

Now dashing Sir Giles was a smarmy old geezer
Bold with the women, he knew how to please ‘em
Money no probs and endowed with good looks
It was easy to get into ladies good books
He cast his sights on one such maiden
Her fair...

This morning chilled me to the bone,
For frost had crazed my window panes
'Twas hard to leave my cosy home,
For given choice I would remain.

But no, there's pennies to be earned
For what in life is ever free,
So into winter's arms I turned,
To face grey skies and...

And the night I wade ankle deep
in stars, and moon dusts caressing 
fall. Bespoke in the cloak of your 
eternal love, these footsteps of
passion and desire are easily
made. And to my side you I
whisper with words so sincere, 
words so delicate, for only you to...
