Best Skedaddled Poems
An Evenin' At the Long Branch SaloonThings wuz purty quiet 'til them thirsty cowpokes stormed into Abilene town!
They'd been on the long and dusty trail and wuz ready to toss some whiskey down!
The trail boss paid 'em thar wages sayin', "Boys, behave yerselfs! Yer on yer own!"
They invaded the town like...

Death Is Ugly Oh death,
You are ugly!
Get away from me!
Each time you laugh
Your guttural laugh,
Like a Python,
I know you have devoured
Another poor soul
I know because evil forest
Lives next door
Every witching hour,
I observe your lifeless victims
From my tiny window,
Where I plead my own case
As they ferret one unfortunate...

Sneakily
incognito
Tip-toe
to her chamber door,
Whereupon
it was ajar,
Never ajar
was it before.
Cloak and dagger
I did intrude
Across her
chamber floor,
Thereupon
she was asleep,
Never asleep
was she before.
Bold as brass
I did inquire
If I could see
of her...

Circa Sixty One Years Ago July 6th 2001Circa sixty one years ago July 6th, 2001 -
birth of dear beloved wife
We now get along swimmingly
analogous to this bro and his older sis
on the cusp of our gifted silver married years
if her presence absent, I would sorely miss
after earlier decades bereft of wedded bliss.
Rarely...

An EpitaphThe days of happiness skedaddled
And made a grimace out of the wrinkled face
Which in a drunken stupor , saddled
With the burden of desires , unlike a sage
Broke into a lugubrious psalm.
Spurs hallucinated, hampering the vision
Hitherto held the verbosity to the mind.
Brevity , the soul of...

The Onset of Old age
Written: by Miracle Man
1-20-2019
Was when our get up and go,
Had suddenly skedaddled.
And with serious health issues,
We suddenly found ourselves saddled.
But this hasn't left us,
Entirely broke Just slightly bent.
Leaving nothing to fight over,
Has become our intent.
At death, what remains,
Those feeling entitled...

Depressing Thoughts For Today
Depressing Thoughts for Today
5-29-2016
With aging came a bad attitude,
The things I enjoy, I can no longer do
The few things I can do,
I have no interest in.
Little pleases me,
And my patience skedaddled at mid life.
I care less about how I look,
That’s your problem;
And more...

Being Dauntless
Being Dauntless
Written: by Miracle man
1-20-2020
When younger I was dauntless,
and in thought yet remain.
But due to time passing,
things aren’t quite the same.
The times are long past,
when I would cede to no man.
If doting on intimidation,
one needed another game plan.
There have often been times,
when I have been...

Bug On a RugLarge black hairy spider on a black rug,
trod on it with a bare foot.
Did not see it, felt it though.
skedaddled over to a chair to take a look.
Yellow spider pus, stiff broken spider legs,
had to scrape it all off with tissue paper.
Flushed the gooey mess...
