Best Gymnasium Poems

Take a look my Love
do you see how the diamonds of our dreams
are burning so brightly and violently
silhouetting the lips of our wishes against the walls of ancient Latin gold
in the sacred villa of Love's Kingdom where there is no escape
where rescue is unwanted,
where we...

You're smiling ...
I'm staring at you
I know you know that I know
That you like me ... that you REALLY like me
Wendy told me, and Linda told her
(After I had Dave ask Debbie to ask Linda)
So it might as well have been you directly ... yeah
I...

Driving past our old home on Glenwood Avenue
Memories came to life from my childhood days
Going over the park, Mom. I'll be in before ten
Got a game of hide and seek. Everyone plays
We'd take a bottle of yoo-hoo  or nu-grape to drink
In winter on Clark...

She'd entered my dwelling, my stalker a complete fatal attraction, mimicking my every move, simply distraught I was ,who could this intruder be, ripping pages on my Elliot Ness desk, pages I'd written I in disbelief this burglar searching through leaf's binderies ,I was frozen...

futures cavort below the horizon
  an expectant dawn glows, duly announcing the first born arrival
  tomorrow then forward smiles, feeling good
  half planned momentous moment, ordering fate, shaping survival

  surf wave crests on a rising tide of change
  present of...

We are all but dancers
In the rhythm of life
While some seem to dance it perfectly
Some can't get the steps down right

Don't let that stop you from dancing
We each have our own heartbeat
Whether or not you are sure footed
Or if you were born with two left...

It was 1971, and I wore fish net stockings at the end of the school year 
I had no garter belt so I used knots but they soon fell to my ankles, Oh Dear !

Pedestrians are moving ups and downs the day can define the differences he experiences in the bathroom, cars buzzing their noise, around my understanding I cannot keep on thrusting for answers which has to be beast of my thinking 
Dancers are exercising their muscles to...

The Teacher boomed "Girls Curtsy" now "Boys Bow".
"Learn your Etiquette, Ladies first Gentlemen".
"We do not run we are not a herd of cattle, Now single file !"

"You Mr Smith will hold the door !, Thank you sir"
We filed threw the door unlike cattle as best...

Bodyweight !.. I constantly gain..
Diet Regime ..gone in vain...
My body- totally out of shape..
Gymnasium is a total waste!


Huge shoes and clothes size-jumbo,
They tease me"Fatty Little Bumbo".
They say I'm fat and call me a ball,
Or they say I am huge wall.


Elephant, Hippo , they call me...

I
Hear the bouncing of the balls--
Basketballs!
What a sound of merriment they cause when each ball falls!
How they echo, echo, echo,
Inside the gymnasium walls,
Arriving at a crescendo
While the spectators shout “Bravo!”
Drowning the referee’s calls;
And the players start
To make their last dart
Amidst the reverberation ricocheting off the...

In the little town called Cleveland
Some many years ago
In a high school gymnasium
Met a group of girls and boys
Since early in their childhood
They were plagued by many peers
Because they lacked
The perfect look
Like many other kids

After many years of torture
Constant badgering from everyone
They decided was time...

That small town Christmas spirit...
It grew a little brighter
just after Thanksgiving.

Garlands were wrapped around
every light pole lining the main street.
Multi-colored light strings
outlined every window.
The drug store, the library.
Even the corner bar
across from the church
had a little Christmas spirit and cheer.
And, the post office, busy with...

HAIKU GLIMPSES #1


Busy corner
Clash of zigzag feet;
Small talk echoes

~~~~~~~~~


Post Office crowd
Orderly queue;
Minds elsewhere

~~~~~~~~~


Newspaper vendor
Overstock complaint;
Financial problem

~~~~~~~~~


Outdoor gymnasium
Overgrown kids cluster;
Mental muscle

~~~~~~~~~


Beach barbecue
Motley bunch mingle;
Strange faces 

~~~~~~~~~


Holiday mood
Not much to do;
Mental vacation

~~~~~~~~~


Seaside stroll
Small crabs scurry;
Monster feet stomp

~~~~~~~~~


Listen now
Can you hear;
Mermaids singing

~~~~~~~~~


Dawn light unfolds
Dust through sunlight;
Energy percolates

~~~~~~~~~


Lonely songbird
Serenades...
