Best Splinted Poems

At the footbridge Sue was meeting her beau
(He was married to a woman called Flo)
Sue soon found out his deception
She dismembered his ********
For his love life it was a massive blow

To the hospital fled poor Rodger
For an op to repair his todger
Now fixed, it's SO...

Fi is my name 
Short for a title I can't rename

Fi is not a note
Two letters shorter than a mote

A fiddler from Finland
First son of a worker in hinterland

I travel near and far
With or without money in my jar

I am not broke
Just a funny bloke

I...

My world on a piece of paper
Drawn and felt under the Moon's vesper
Simple life I rended
Under a tree I shredded

Early in life I staggered
Held only a pencil and a paper
Walking with shoes of a cobbler
Trudging many roads that bantered

At sixteen my life turned and spinned
In...

There is a story ‘bout Casey, that is but incomplete
It tells of simple ball and bat and Mighty’s ignoble feat
There we learned of failure and the storied Mudville name
Here we’ll learn what happened in the very next ballgame  

The year was long ago, it...

What the Butler Heard
Extract from a memoir

Lord Illustrious Penge of Lampwicker Hall,
Welcomed local Toffs, to his Name-Dropper ball.
Noses upturned with a touch of conceit,
Hob-Knobbing with gentry and gentleman elite.
Colonel recalled, his luncheon with Churchill,
Discussing backbenchers and a new Commons bill.
Shooting down Stukas, Captains claim to...

The shield shall be splinted
The sword shall be broken
But the love i have for you 
Will never be broken
Neither will love be forsaken

Like an everlasting convinant
Which binds us together
So shall we be forever
Oh sweet coconut water
You are my heart desire

The first time i meet you
I...

Disciplined organised and full of stout,
Marching in formation to the General's shout,
Holding their swords and weapons at the ready,
An elite told to stand steady,
For little be known for the evil this legion die to protect
A howling fills the deathly night
sends a splinted shiver of fear...

Is my mind an accident of the metaphysical,
of fragile pain, uncertain life or follies of desires?
Abstractions attract me like flies to honey,
vacillating theories seems to me like a refuge,
trying to grab air where only vacuum exists.
 
The creativity in me rebels as my mind accuses
my...

Rusted spiers
Splinted by liers,
Triers in sin
And all that is wrong
Mounted in untruth
Where they've been for so long

Dented hopes
Noosed with ropes,
They team with darkness
Writhes with ire
A most jaded wretchness

Our ghouls within
Away won't spin
Din of fear
Clear not the future
But danger to come
Fighting fast is the creature....

...To prove his point he even opened his shirt,
laid bare his sternum so our blades could stab,
but we were all frozen by what we’d heard,
the worlds just sounded so utterly mad.

He believed he was possessed by Genghis Khan?
And that the ghost had trapped him in...

In a bit of a witty mood
Attitude becomes rude and crude
Flipping tables, tearing down stables 
Preparing for morning cartoons

Full bowl of cereal unreels my lethal cerebral. 
Toons blast till noon then on to serial killing the reaper. 
Neither of us has the guts to spill...

eagerly i followed my path
dangling so i suppose 
beneath the quaint notion
the tranquil gestures

i'd become lost wandering away 
from calm pastures
while i pateintly awaited 
thee emptiness

about the braising shores
abruptly the shadows form
between the four o'clock flowers
the cardinals sang the bells rang

a shephards song
standing before me...

            Conch shell sea gem and sea snail    
            Horn held tone gyrates the tritonis trumpet

a softly moist beating heart 
Has somehow hardened in retardants
Hollow mind a splinted soul
A wandering spirit
A cold Frozen Heart
No one comes near it
Beating heart 
fleeting heart 
Harden heart come soft again
