Best Plaster Cast Poems

Zooming, zooming, zooming fast,
I'm racing by in my billy cart,
Had to swerve to miss my dog,
Smashing into a fallen log,
Now I have to wear a plaster cast....

>I have a blinking broken foot.  
By Stanley Russell Harris
The new mad author

Poetry soup honourably mentioned.

I have a blinking broken foot.
My left one can you not see.
The picture’s on my Facebook page.
For all of you, to preen!
I did not do it in action.
Nothing brave...

He was born perfect in every way
Until that fateful day
When from a height was dropped
His knee joint fractured, out it had popped

Was just two weeks old a boxer pup
Went to the vets to have it bandaged up
Had a plaster cast, yet he still wanted to...

Racism 1952

A man had been working on a flat garage roof
jumped into the yard, not a long jump but
landed badly and hurt his ankle.
He picked up a plank and used it to get out
and to the bus stop.
The bus driver wouldn`t let him on because
of...

This plaster cast is
By far the hardest thing you'll
Ever have to wear...

No one had seen Rudolf for weeks
He was wanted via loudspeakers and flyers
"This is the moment where everything changes", Santa Claus said
Christmas Eve was approaching, there was nothing more to do

It came news from the University Hospital of Northern Norway
Poor Rudolf, lay for three weeks...

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...

Here are the French Connection facts,
Monsieurs and Madames
No need for reverse English translation,
Ladies and Gentlemen

Step carefully ... 
You’re now at the yellow tape border of 
a Jurassic Park murder scene investigation
Here’s robo Rico “Bio-Class II” Suave,
your mechanized splatter sherpa:
A top-of-the-assembly line android crime reporter,
it has...

If a pink elephant rides on a green wave then the tarantula will be under great pressure. Chains are a peril. Particularly when placed upon a coconut. Technical difficulties are often solved with the clear blue lines of a fountain pen. Or black. Any colour...

I love to go dancing each week,
alas, a new partner I now urgently seek

No conversation, Joe was such a bore,
as we shuffled around the dance floor

We’d mastered a waltz and the tango.
but he didn’t quite ‘get’ the fandango

He’d say let’s try that dance move again...

If I could comprehend the constant rhythm
slow breath 
as if in one first soft impress
the indefatigable resolution
I embodied a warming tide
habitant in a miracle
extant of a souls immortal
upon these initiatory eyes   

Such is the memory perpetual
of first days creation gave
with all the testaments...

Passion fell by the wayside
Cold Phoenix doubt rose from the ashes
smouldering on the inside

Broken candlelight date invitations
rue glow leaves grey matter with dark, unsettling thoughts
Giving restless peace of mind, 
plenty wary settle down reservations

Apache war paint tone
crack the dead zone silence
Smoke signals sent 
on a...

The modern mattress 
is what makes possible
modern sleep;   
soft so I
model myself in it
like I'm to become
a plaster cast.
 What's wrong? she asks
there's something bothering you.
 The modern mattress
can hide the mite
that eats my skin
slough, lives small
excretes itch and sneezes.
 Just anomie, I...

The heart off sanatorium
Broke a little in a winter time
cause it went alone
and this is how that ends
fixed with cement
too late for a plaster cast 
now weighing a bit more
and colder too
but

matter of practice...

Body Casting

Standing there naked for all to stare
Or is it a pleasure to share
The days when before
Your body took a different shape and more.

A way of remembering the time
When pregnancy was progressing just fine
And your body changed as was due
For nine months pregnancy was ending...
