Legs Poems

Giocante

The boy stood on the burning deck
arms akimbo legs a'brace
while cannon balls rolled above and beyond
'twas the greatest challenge he had yet to face
as pouring oil on troubled waters
they who only stand and wait also serve
to post o’er ocean without rest
don't receive all they deserve
and crying, “O Captain, my Captain,
an order's sorely needed,
should I stay

Leg Walking

I walked with my legs
straight into nightmares
never saw another person 
coming up the stairs

- Come to get me like that

Breathed through my ankles
lived from a rucksack
slept in the tree house
and walked like a quack quack

- But don't you quote me on that

Take three steps at a time
never need no crutch
didn't want a brother
wasn't asking for

Legs And Windsocks

I run with the wind,
past a couple of windsocks. 
I see they sometimes droop,
sometimes stretched full,
indicating the speed of the wind
that thrusts forward my body,
helping the tired legs
stride at the pace of the wind.
My legs seem to wear windsocks,
so, I know my running speed.       

His Legs Would Not Reach to the Ground

A man from Connecticut found
His legs would not reach to the ground.
“I wish I was shorter,”
He told a reporter,
“To stop all this floating around.”

Sensual Legs

Ode to the legs silky and long,
Beautiful as an unwritten song
Sleek, slender, and milky white
In my dreams through the night

Luddite

In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you
From In the Year 2525 by Zager and Evans

Luddite

Robots that clean floors
and pools
Robots that assist with
surgery
Robots that search for
explosives
Robots in all areas of
manufacturing
Robots unpiloted as
drones

Self-driving cars
Self-regulating thermostats
Self-guiding weapons
Self-regulating houses

It won’t take until the year 5555
The time

Frog Legs Served Right

    Frog legs are reputed to be
      quite a tasty delicacy

    I must confess, though, as for me
      I prefer frogs served ~ amputeed

The Woman with Hatstands as Legs, from THE WOMAN WHO COULD EAT WOOD

The Woman with Hatstands as Legs


The Woman with Hatstands as Legs named Lizzy
hung toy store customers’ hats. Doing that daily put her in a real tizzy.
It was no fun
because she’d get real dizzy. 

I have eyes hands legs arms and a mouth to speak too oh and a brain

I paint stars until theyir lines are shine and bright.

SIMPLE SPIDER STORY

SIMPLE SPIDER STORY

Palsy poison spider
bickering, binding, biting
sparring, stinging, scampering
creeping in crevices cocooned 
coded crooked cock-eyed

Here, there, everywhere 

Scorpions enticed bicolour eyes
broken webs of gravity’s return
to sting a billion bites boggling 
so drenched in poison they 
polluted rivers and valleys alike

Here, there, everywhere 

Palsy spider died a peevish death
a pensive peony covered her crevice 
soon after

Mountain

With no wings to fly…
and no legs to walk…
as an elevated portion of the Earth’s crust,
with sloping sides and a peak,
stuck to the ground…, I am found.
Appear so majestic…
But to the core, a rock I am…!
Fixed at one place,
to be the guest of others,
I can’t move an inch further!
Whistling winds, rustling leaves, 
Frothing waterfalls are

Wobbly Legs

When I was younger and thought of old age
Thought we all became senile at this elderly stage

It appears I was wrong, I can still go potty
And able to dress this tired old body

Try as I might, I don't see very well
And my wobbly old legs are as shaky as hell

Sometimes my words come out like

Why Does a Spider Have Eight Legs?

Two of them are for the steering wheel;
To drive unsafely is to be a heel. 
One is to make penciled calculations;
To make missteps is to spoil relations. 
Two more make amorous advances;
Based on calculations, he has good chances.
One makes careful notes, oh so detailed,
So, one day, his memoirs can be retailed.
Two are needed to solemnly

Renaissance Fair Turkey Legs

Kansas City’s Renaissance Fair is fun; you can dress steampunk
Go as Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, or a Victorian Queen.
You can be a knight of the Round Table or King Arthur
It is embraced by several factions of people in Kansas City
Each year it gets bigger and more outrageously fun than the year before
The only thing

Little Jimmy Short-Legs

Little Jimmy Short-Legs
took it in his stride 
that everybody called him
“Little Jimmy Short-Legs”
‘cause he knew
way down deep inside
that his sturdy little legs
were really, really short
and one would have to be
all but blind
and ever so polite
to not plainly see the shortcomings
that his little legs displayed
he was however 
very, very grateful
that nature 
when being a little mischievous
