Long Flat footed Poems

Hungry for munchies, on his way to the lunchroom, 
a rambunctious, persnickety,“fuss-budget”, elderly
jittery, fidgety, geezer, named Cassidy…
whose questionable dexterity, aghast by a massive sneeze,
teeter-tottered precariously. 
at the edge of the thingamajig, ...jigging one way, jagging...

i am an old man
when i look in the mirror 
i don’t see me
a resemblance of my past
but know things aren’t 
always what they seem
	my skin is wrinkled and thin 
	i bruise easily
	though not emotionally
	my...

When Your Young Life Catches You Flat Footed

It was a huge celebration of friends on the Fourth of July
There was Tammy with beautiful hair and those dark tanned...

I Wear My Gun Easily, Loaded Well At Night

I meet my sacrifice with ample gratitude
Although with muted tongue, my ghost sings loudly
That crystal indifference soothes my attitude
None sing romance so damn righteously or proudly
Although never...

A Moment in Time

A moment in time…
Like no other -
No twin or triplet –
Sharing the split second
In eternity’s space
As minutes chase
Perpetual movement of earth -
A meeting of fleeting glances
Momentary held in eyes of seekers
A possibility...

At last year’s New Year bash in the ballroom at the hotel, had two 
hundred guests, this year 45 guests and the room was chilly and 
had melancholic echo of yesteryears.  A...

The trees in the park today
Swaying in the breeze 
Saying goodbye to summer
And hello to autumn,
Clothed in their display of
Greens and browns and
Russets and yellows
That drift and flutter 
And slide to the ground
To form a...

That's not my elephant
although it looks a lot like me
pallad and grey
and sometwhat wrinkly and she responds to Ella today!

and even though I am flat footed too 
at least I am not stepping lightly on...

The blinding speed of his fists and feet
     made all his fastest foes flat-footed

     as around the target of his jabs

Do they dream of vast oceans,
of soaring sea-raised mountains
of wave upon wave of rolling
aqueous seascapes?

The little brown ducks
show no such inclination.
They dabble and diddle about
gently pecking at moments
meandering from here to there
on the silky green...

Forbidden To Me

I groan flat footed
my love
For your witches brew I drank
Those words
you wrote
goblins sink
not me

For your
broomstick's journey
through our house
of no love
crimped 
my hopes

Still
I'm tickled by your pinks

Your lips
I phantom
singing a sweet melody
your song
spawning
blue skies
forbidden...

I was jogging,
I saw a quack;
I stop and pondered;
What is that?
I thought this, this is wack;
Look at my slacks;
They had gotten wet;
From water I didn't spill nor did I sweat;
And I bet, ya! wondering;
Just what's...

while shadow boxing
sometimes 
i kept on
moving dancing and
a prancing
just bouncing
off the ropes 
in my imagination and
suddenly i caught
my opponent shadow off guard
standing flat footed
so i use
the sweet science of boxing
with some 
stiff jabs plus
some body...

Just having to be erect
Supported by your two feet:
The posture that is correct
Before one whom others greet:
Bosses who would things direct
While ours are to matters treat…

Punishment for a sitter,
Sitters made to stand ‘bitter.’
You’re a brute...

BAREFOOT

Literally : shoeless
We think of a thief
Caught flat-footed on the act.
Like Colton Harris-Moore
Who was known as a “Barefoot Bandit”

Barefoot has other interpretations
It can mean young
Having an inexperienced, unadulterated , pristine mind
Possessing triple ‘V’ vision, vim...

The 
closet 
of 
my 
mind 
gathers 
the 
labour 
of 
my 
eyes,
My 
heart 
aches 
with 
sadness
The 
emptiness 
of 
life
A 
sharp 
contrast 
to 
a 
heart 
filled 
with 
strife,
My 
mind 
present 
yet 
absent,
On 
a 
wing 
it 
skates
