Best Both Foot On The Ground Poems

FROM A HOSPITAL BED
Wordancer

Even if I’m dizzy with an aching head, 
I must not disturb the others in the beds
In this hospital ward where not much is said
For fear of making a fuss.

It’s not much fun with nothing to do 
Can’t even get up to...

Double, Double, Toil and Trouble
Or Dragon Hood and the Secret of the Burning Pants


Our traveling actor trolls, came home to help with ‘Shakespeare in the Park’.
We wanted ‘Romeo and Juliet’, our neighborhood witches wanted ‘Mac Beth.’
Dragon wanted only happy endings…From Shakespeare? Yeah… R.I.G.H.T!
Suddenly everyone was...

I don't know how it started

But it's an annual event

But I don't think that an egg hunt

Is the best way to present

The story of our saviour

Chocolate eggs you go and find

I don't think that's the image

That the church wants in our mind

Every year since I...

THREE year olds know about circles. They play
ring around the rosy and here we go round
the mulberry bush. And if one should say 
that in reality nowhere is found
a perfect circle, they either don’t hear
or won’t buy it.  Yet.  Another year
or so they’ll...

This writing is my interpretation of the Susan Boulet's painting "Bear Child"

*Bear Child*

Docile and tame as a young child
The bear hugged every opportunity to come close to man
To peer into the everyday lives of what they had planned
For fear they would travel upon his path

He...

Break all the shackles of attachments
wash away the guilt,regrets from the heart
dust  the unpleasant memories in the head
melt the fear of unknown,
loosen up the  tangled hair ,
with the enlightened soul
smile on the lips,confidence in the eyes
with free spirit and freedom,
live the life to...

Legs shaking standing on the edge, 
as I feel the strap tighten around my neck,
I can hear myself struggle to breathe,
It brings me comfort to know soon I’ll be at ease,
From the darkness surrounding the demons are near,
They can smell my pain, my sorrow and...

Chevrolet


Imagine life is a journey in a car, without a map or a satnav.
You can only go forward, there is no turning back.
You only know where you are going to.
Your destination is ‘love’ and it has to be ‘true’.


You may burst your tired heart and...

I stand, waiting, out of the dappled sun light.
Listening to the hollow timpani that is my 
stomach, the adrenalin coursing 
through my chest, telling me 'its time'

My neuronal switch 'clicks'. I am no longer
inert, I am hunter. I have smelled the air
and read its menu....

So we took Bonnie the Border Collie to the vet yesterday for a wellness check and to update his shots. While there we discussed Bonnies dominance issues over Crusher the female Doberman, especially when he holds her to the ground by her throat. He explained...

Billy Carts and Marbles

Yes, we all played marbles when we were just kids,
Had a big ‘Tom Bowler’ and a bag full of migs.
Held onto your marble with fingers and thumb
No fudging allowed, and your eye was the plumb.
Picked out your opponent and stayed on the...

I stand looking in, the narrow path ahead of me.
Before me lay twists and turns that I can’t possibly predict.
Each step will take me further from refuge.
Demons hide in the dark recesses, waiting.
I hesitate, foot half raised to take the first step.
Fear saturates the air...

What sounded like a woman's scream got me scrambling for the door,
I raced to save my cat at dawn so she could live some more.
The chilling woman's wails were really that of a hungry fox,
I hadn't put my shoes on yet only my dirty socks.
My...
