Best Splint Poems

Today was a good day

Today he walked on legs unbent
And erect spine of a man intent

On stilling the cacaphony of monotony
And smoothing the callouses of convalescence

For today, we both forgot
The wasting rate this cancer's wrought

Today, he teased and squeezed and poked
Fun at his trademark old...

Looking all around me and becoming more aware,
Of the people and surroundings at which many children stare.

I come to terms and realize the acts of hate I see,
And now I fear that this same scene will soon envelope me.

Walking on a lonesome road, though crowded...

Today I found a bird with a broken wing,
From whence it came, I know not where.
His delicate body shuddered in fear,
The pain he felt was much to endure.

Left to die without help to survive,
This little bird stumbled around outside.
Without ability to fly,
He suddenly noticed I...

Aristotle, who once said, “A flatterer is a friend,
Who is your inferior, or pretends to be so.”
Magician or not, the appraisal we try to defend,
Veneer covered ready, prepare for the overthrow.

And a splint named psychology supports nowt,
Tender are the suspicions, a tourniquet gripped,
That of emotion,...

brittle stained jagged fingernails
scratch against the splint hairs
of a cold weathered wooden elbow

an impatient clock had sapped
a once supple leather coat

now requiring constant mending
as homeless unraveling posed an inevitable ending

torn pockets spilled over
with a plethora of dead letters

hope had long ago delivered 
its final walking...

Poor Frosty’s carrot had unfroze 
Quite useless for a snowman’s nose
It looked such a sight
Bending to the right
Looks like a limp ‘dong' I suppose

So frosty visited his doc
Said his carrot looked like a limp ‘sock’
It’s gone soft and looks pink 
Kinda looks like a shrimp
Kid’s...

1. All I want is an increase in bonding
and on that smile to be a shareholder
watching the growth of your guts silently
to tenderly tame a curious filly
and put our hearts to a lovely feast

Chorus
I’m trying to make you see
I’m trying to make you know
I’m wishing...

Spark forgotten birthday candles
Brittle kindling of bike less handles
Kiss less shins that need a splint
Graduation's a lonely stint 
Cover up, cover up, skin is showing
Guilt you’re here, big and glowing

Heartfelt softness never seen
All adults are really mean 
Solo outings, deplete dimension
Counselors pondering intervention
Cover up, cover...

When midnight tides impeach my chamber door
And clot to rot the splint no flood can pass,
By thrashing currents, shocked, I drift ashore -
An endless stroke of pain where grains are glass;
If day has ever been, then sun collapsed,
Where darkness blindly carves relentless sight;
There is no...

Journey Of  Heavens Solider On Earth 
Am a Solider stranger here in town?
Walking am so lonely
Just another soldier man-without guns
Yes am really lonely

I sojourn from a land 
Destiny quest I find
On this path my bones ache
I have been beaten now am shy
Have been beaten...

Mint, peppermint, Cool Mint, badminton. . . . 
But that's not what I meant. 
You still don't know what I meant? 
Then I'll give you a hint. 
There's a famous guy named Clint. 
Yes, his family name is Eastwood. 
As an actor, he's sharp as...

He was a midnight black stallion with little white spots;
Who only let me ride him, but others could not.
He had a temperament unstable, make no mistake;
His looks, not his personality, earned him the name of Snowflake.

Snowflake could out run and out jump other horses,
But didn’t...

feeling to well known
can't hide the hurt 
travel far and wide 
to uncover the splint in my heart
the day after you broke it
i play the morning over 
in my head remembering
what you said 
not that it fell on deaf ears
not that i didn't understand 
but...

caught beneath a nautilus
rudders spinning, cutting my breath
into bubbles that pop on the surface
i never thought i'd get my wish
when i asked to taste the dead sea

salt and spit and sweat and piss
i'm drowning in all of it
head beneath the waves
staves prickling from each and...
