Best Cripple Poems

Blind-
Help me son, help me daughter, help this old beggar,
Give a coin, give some water, help this blind creature.
Help this aged, come to aid, help this downcast blind,
Draw your hands, off you pockets, mix your hands, combined.
Lacking sleep, bloody hunger! I'm pale and dying,
Ten rupees!...

The king and the cripple all day. 
Whilst awake they must make hay.
Men must allay; not dabble like the abbe.
Even if they make child's play,
the king and the cripple have cache,
for one other day's living' per se.

A king must be wary,
and with excellence must parry,
all...

It happened on one autumn morn
The bright sun raked the sky
The two men stood and faced each other
One of which must die

The wind blew down the dusty lane
This bright an sunny morn
Along a quiet winding creek
A gunfighter would be born

The breeze then sent a puff...

You cripple me,
I fall into you hard, 
Abandoning motion.

You deafen me,
I fall into the sounds of you,
Neglecting to hear those of the world.

You mute me,
I fall into the allure of your words,
Disregarding my own.

You blind me,
I fall into the beauty that surrounds you,
Forgetting to see...

To anyone familiar with the state of Colorado,
there is a place out there with many a casino.
It is nestled in the mountains like a town of yesteryear.
There are several houses to take a chance here.
It is just beyond the world famous Pike’s Peak.
This casino town...

within the darkest corners

Cripple Creek in Colorado

Ghost town before have you ever seen?
Behind old buildings is grass so green,
That we looked for and started to seek;
In Colorado a place called Cripple Creek.

Thriving mining town it once had been;
With several people there, mostly men;
Trees they had cut down by...

Don't you worry. I promise to be meek.
I've got too much to gamble here at Cripple Creek
Where's that creek at though? I want to swim.
It won't take long, I'll just go and jump in.
Lettin' that water cool my nerves is a good way to begin.
I'll...

He was born a full cripple,
Who is now causing ripple,
Unleashed shock waves a triple;
Soon to catch some disciple...

As cripple had sucked nipple,
Fed flesh fifty times supple:
'The most blessed cripple'—Sample
Mum's testimonies —Ample...
Of his mother's eyes—Apple
Though on his body Dapple
And the redness of maple...

At twelve could his...

Do you remember me 
Walking under the rain and sun
To prove my love,
Fetching your water,
When friends and others said 
"I was as a madwoman?"

Looking for you in every corner,
Putting food in a bucket,
Yet, you look in my face
And said, "Love is cripple!"
I didn't understand your...

Only life in our mortal realm
entrenches self-doubt’s stand.

People and events cripple us
with critical mirrors showing us
visuals of our ineptness.

   All who are predisposed to clutching their negative blows
	               ...

Cripple

Nature made me incomplete
She failed to give me two good feet
The left one’s fine,
It’s well in line 
But the other is rather bittersweet

It twists around to a great degree
A much disgruntled employee
Of a brain as quick 
as a lightning stick
But useless just below the knee.

A...

trademark green on white 
"Welcome to Colorful Colorado" 
me and the Sangre De Cristos
march across the border 
and Mt Blanca rises to greet us
smooth and elegant 
as a wedding cake
draped with fondant
majestic and proud
above  the clouds
in my heart 
she strikes the home chord 
deeper...

“Come now, my friend, let me help,”
Said the rich man with a camera in hand,
His voice smooth, his smile grand,
As he approached the man in the alley so damned.

“Tell me your story, we’ll capture it right,
For the world needs to see your plight.”
The poor man’s...
