Lefty The Left Handed Poem

They built this world for the other hand,
Every door, every tool, every scissors command.
Ink smears across my palm like war paint,
While spiral notebooks mock me with their constraint.

But I am the mirror breaker,
The rule shaker,
The one who writes backwards
And dreams in reverse.

Ten percent revolution ninety percent poetic evolution 
I am the southpaw standing alone
Against a

Nina Loves Lefty

In bright red paint, beneath my feet,
Was a declaration, short and sweet:
Nina Loves Lefty! but with a heart
Instead of “Loves,” so, urban art.

That’s how graffiti used to be,
Touting one’s identity
Or that of someone much adored
Without a message untoward.

Premium MemberA Lefty Land

A different land exists somewhere,
Where lefties are the norm.
The lefty side considered there,
Is standard for the form.

Lets say, someone, you go to meet,
And then extend a hand.
But it’s the left, you’ll use to greet,
In all the lefty land.

A lefty golfer’s shopping dream,
For clubs would be abound.
Or you could fit a baseball team,
Where lefty gloves are

Premium MemberLefty

Lefty was a well known thug and criminal.
His reputation didn't do him any justice.
Because he was much worse than that.
He would rob or kill,depended on his mood.
Nobody messed with Lefty, all feared him.
Everything changed when he came across,
His protege , lil Lefty. Lil Lefty shot him dead
in cold blood.
The old saying is true " If

Premium MemberThe Southpaw

I’m a southpaw,
one of those left-handed,
upside down,
have to curl my arm to write,
backwards individuals,
liv’in-the-left-life
in a right-handed world.

Think It’s easy, e.g., 
being a leftie?
Think again...
we’re out of place at dinners,
have to master backwards scissors,
built specifically for righties and 
we are forced to learn everything, in reverse.

We wear permanent spiral wire imprints
on our left arm from trying

Poetic Lefty and His Unexpected Right Handed Sweety

never knew
you would dig my every haiku
but you do
even more i love you
you read another
then you read the other
we relate like sister and brother
we enjoy our downtime like father and mother
oh my oh boy
you read a few poems of mine with such joy
at first i thought it was a ploy
motivation from you i now employ
never

Driving Lefty In Righty Country

      where lanes for left and right must never meet,

nations that use the right side of the road,
and those preferring left for moving load;
