Best Juggled Poems

I stood on the step by the unopened door
Far from the meadows that precede the shore
Grasped tight the railing I longed to explore 
Searching for truth in the lies

Looked at the mat as it welcomed me in
Wondering when all of this would begin
Washed up and...

I live not far from humankind the cradle that is of
what and where we are all coming from Johannesburg
so they say and going to one human race of every colour
no need for power domination colonializing margins

The ‘dark continent’ where the ‘savages’ did not abide

'Twas the night before Christmas and I still had gifts to buy.
I procrastinated getting it done; a terrible fault I can't deny.
As I juggled bags of presents that cost far too much money,
A sidewalk Santa winked and said, "How ya doin' Honey?"

I scowled at the...

Devotion Poem, Paradise.    
  (For Jim)

Dare I say —
We feel marvelously sculpted to fit,
Our hugs mold their moments
Into wishing to last forever.

Dare I say — my silent hopes
Rise into the liquid
Moonlit blue above our kisses,
Wanting to make millions of dozens.

Dare I...

jokingly jumped a joyride

he juggled with multiple scenarios worried
how things could go terribly wrong
and then he asked her how
she saw it all play out
he was relieved 
no barriers
no strings
he could see
how it was all different 
better than he dared hope for
and better than he had ever imagined
he was...

Aboard a barque, across cerulean seas, 

Beneath boundless skies, chasing destiny's pleas,

Came courageous colonists, yearning to be free. 

Dreams danced delicately in the salty breeze, 

Eager eyes seeking sanctuary.

Founding fathers forged a future fair, 

Guiding principles etched in granite grand. 

Hope hummed, hearts held with...

This is a story, short, but true
About a woman who had eyes that were black and blue.

 About a man who can eat things ten times his size,
 And a dog who was considered to be amazingly wise

 They lived in a land of shades...

The Crazy Kitten
 

The crazy kitten purred.
Its soft and slender  body 
Brushed around my skin.
It meowed as it juggled 
The ball of woolly yarn
All about the living room.

The crazy kitten leaped about 
Pouncing on the little mice.
It wondered about the house
Seeking new places to...

I have a friend called Bob Beaubobble
who trains unusual pets to juggle
assorted items frequently fumbled
by freakish fish or octibumbles

This hobby made him mucha dinero
which he put in the bank ‘with interest’ to grow  
but while he was filling in all of the forms
One creature...

From a city's hilltop ,
I gaze down there below
with lights in rhythmic hop;
notes bouncing to and fro...
on alleys where life croons
women dance as skirts fly;
and blues whip juggled tunes
sax cooling a flamed sigh!

She juggled suns and moons
Bounced Mars on her head
Waltzed on Jupiter
Never leaving the bed...

She skipped over to London
And skated high in the sky
Hugging her friends
As they all skated by.

She had tea with non-people
In a beautiful...

Don't we all live deep within the walls of a 
rain painted rose.
Rosy moments once fresh are set ablaze.
Whose bones are jewel encrusted with decay.
within our deepest reds 
The scent of saints and dreams are bled.
Glancing off a soul of glass.
So very briefly glowing off...

There were three little monkeys,
Named Mindy, Murray and Moe,
And everywhere they went,
They put on a little show.

Mindy was a dancer,
And she was very good.
She danced like a ballerina,
Then tap-danced where she stood.

Murray was a tumbler,
He jumped and flipped about.
The children really liked it,
And were quick...

Watching her board bathed in fog at the station
Spectacles slide down the bridge of his nose
Usually a blur, not in this situation
Smudges can’t hide every beauty she shows

Lugging a satchel in high heels and cotton
In her left hand rests a statue that grins
Such an odd...
