Long Kneecap Poems

Before scant opportunity

reach out across cyberspace without delay
jumpstarting and kickstarting reflections
linkedin with fifty plus shades of gray
snapchatting and twittering
do you know the way to San...

Each poem’s a web that I hang (time-smoked adage
that swirls in the sky) and dream seasons rare eyes!
With no thought of entrapment or hope of ingesting,
rhyme longs more to bless you, verse whispers, “Hello.”
Heart’s a...

Twilight off darkness
opening past scars entering 
into those violated by unpleasant dreams 
Dumped in a canal left for dead 
trailed through a wooded area an unknowing victim
tortured for hours without mercy or shame
I prayed to...

Giving it all
When something happened

My kneecap snapped
Broken real neat
 
The...

Walk slow up the stairs,...

Please pass me a double with 100-proof zing
No, I’ve no money, but I’ll pay with this ring

Her memories had her waiting
for his oft' tardy appearance,
and in her patient time
perhaps wondering,
"Has he ever noticed the scar
below my kneecap?"
His litany of lateness'
was covered by a bond 
of mutually assured affection.
She'd never hold him...

There is a twinge in my left knee,
right on the inside of the kneecap, under the bone.

I’ll jump, sometimes.
Tendons stretching, stretching, stretching—
muscles flexing.
My foot leave the ground (pointed, of course).
My other leg is straight already...

Sometimes the kneecap is sitting in 
An unbalanced way
This can cause the kneecap to slip out of the joint or
