Hobbles Poems

Waiting at the bus stop

...a bobble hat fellow rumbles along
sharp turns behind me - hello -
but reaches up to the wall
grabs an apple 80 percent intact
and hobbles away again

a few seconds later he's back again
turns ...

What Her Eyes are Saying

...She has this pretty smile, she can light up a room, but when you look into her eyes, the look is more of gloom.
 
There’s so much wisdom and happiness on her face, but to look into her eyes that sm...

Let's respect our two homes

...Time to be respectable
I live in two homes in my mind
I’m both Frida and Diego
Like me, they lived in Twin Houses
The tortured me lives in the blue one
The elephant in the red and white

Wondering About His Crevices

...his face has deep crevices like the grand canyon
I wonder how many ideas dwell in their recesses
blue eyes are alert, I can see his youth in their shine
he turns the second he meets my eyes

Father's Day - Any Year

...Excursions, picnics, get-togethers, ballgames
  An exhausted father slumps into his favorite armchair, leans back --
Ah, the pot of gold at the end of ‘his special day’
  
…Dad hobbles outside – ...

Out On the Curb

...At the curb
Without its mother
Rusty creature
Up to your knee
New born from the wild
Of unwanted chances
Hobbles on training wheels
Pink-perked handlebar ears
Hand written sign

Old Goat

...There was a little Nubian;
The kids just called her Split.
Banana was her mama, and
She looked like her a bit.

One day Split caught a nasty bug,
A mean old parasite.
It nearly took the poor g...

Ice Cream Gran

...My old gran had an ice cream van
And a bright green cape and a madcap plan
She’s out to save her fellow man
And with her walking frame, she can

Each night she prowls the felon’s range
Disturbi...

Waste Not

.... for public domain

Her changes, swift as Bluebirds fly,
her ranges, lift notes low and high,
and yet she hobbles on the ground,
anchored low, like Prometheus bound.

The gods hold stealing n...

Walks

...Toddler wanders
With unsteadiness,
Then darts and dashes
Tripping over less.
Skipping and hopping
Jumping on one foot,
Strutting,  parading
All to whom will look.
Pacing to and fro
Trekking ...

Of Times To Come

...Of times to come

	How sad it feels to see age struggle past,
	It shuffles, slowly pained by aches unknown
	Reminding me that soon the time must come
	When youth has from this vibrant body flown...

Call Me Africa

...Call me Africa,
The land of the ancient chiefs 
That lie in ruins.
Iam the sun-scorched plains
And the roar of Mosi oa tunya.
Iam the rolling hills
And the lush green valleys
Where rainclouds ...

Plague Journal At the Ides of March 2020, Abandoned

...The sound of a piano playing a dirge lies in the air. It was the day before general quarantine measures were implemented by the Austrian government. That same night, for the first time in recent memo...

Harvest Time

...Pretty girl slithers through the fields                                      
Bell around her neck swings out a cry
Under the howling moon a warning 
In open fields of golden wheat asleep

Unfinished Poems

...unfinished poems cramp me 
like a horse 
in his hobbles

they won't go away 
I hear them begging in the night 
like babies wanting more milk 
never satisfied
