Limbs - Apr 28
Crick, Crack,Pop!,—“Ow!”, ach… won’t my joints of ache
never relent? The tension—every move—
with each attempt to loose—a rigid groove—
my muscles,—all efforts to simply break
the pressure,—ayayaye,so,taut—,to shake
free my body, to feel the strain improve,
I’ve tried to stretch myself so to remove
the overwhelming cramps and pangs, which rake
my shambling corpse.—But ill I

Limbs
Beneath a galloping wind
I am gathering fallen twigs and
other broken scrub.
Suddenly, head bent to this
thoughtless labor,
I am aware,
now upon my unheeding skin
fox ears prick up.
The pink shells
of seeking fingertips
trace my shoreline.
An ocean spills over
the walls of my heart.
Flocks of Robins shower down,
a gift from the racing sky?
Swift time is confounded,
I am transfixed.
This very windblown acre

Beneath the Limbs of Life
Several
forever fading
fragments of
one single
shattered dream.
Who’s streams
of significance
flow far behind
the shadows of time.
leaving behind
their minimal
minor moments .
Which forever engrave
themselves
deep within
the depths of my
shattered heart .

Soul Limbs
The crunch of leaves beneath my feet
Murmur of hope, a whisper in the shadows
Growl of a rainstorm, howl of wind,
Clap of thunder rolling across the midnight
Skies, blessing, confessing all the wonder
An evening filled with the beauty and laughter
The inspiration of nature’s bounty, breathing
Through the crackle of her turbulent voice
Autumn sighs, a hush so beautiful, graceful
Like

Walking Through the Woods
Walking through the woods
Surrounded by the oaks
Whose whispering leaves sigh
Inspiring the heart to listen
With an eagerness, an elation
Breathless as the imagination
Walking through the forest
Surrounded by pine and spruce
Whose wistful needles groan
Reflecting on the promises
Earth’s music rains a chorus
Insight into the heart’s hopes
Walking through the thickets
Surrounded by birch and bark
Whose rustling leaves breathe
Enchanting, enlightening, enthused
By the

Back To Rock N' Roll
Our time to spin round the world,
Back to rock n' roll!
Springtime leach's wings speak a lot
Back to rock n' roll
I've been to Mars still never let hopes
In flyin' around the world
Our time to spin round the world,
Back to rock n' roll
Fistful figurative piece of word
Back to rock n' roll
Riverside fresh, beaches of green
Really

Ignored Assumed Taken For Granted
Ignored Assumed Taken for Granted
By George W. Clever-----7 September 2020
Admittedly, there is a most important thing I take for granted
You may ask what do I mean by ‘taken for granted’?
I mean it is something undervalued
I mean it is something underappreciated
I mean it is something innately unfailingly available
Are you surprised to learn it

Lurched Lousy Limbs
*Lurched Lousy Limbs*
thick soles seducing
eerie earth scrunching
tracing tactic trudges
cowering cornered crushes
pale paths tucked
gaunt gaze; gulp!
mystic monster smirked
nocturnal nature athirst
felon fondling first
then a twist
lurched lousy limbs
dactyls callous covering
goblin moved monster
dragging dainty disaster.

Decaying Oak
Decay, decays?
Never, this oak lives forever!
Bit by beetle bugs that on me did graze.
Birds my bark did sever.
A broken twig pointed the way of my decline.
Twisted
