Not Cut Out For the Ninja Life

Seen in the movies, swishing swords about,
Those Ninja fighters make you want to run,
Hiding in shadows, jumping in and out,
Would challenge me: my Ninja skills are none.

However do they manage all they do?
So swathed in dark disguise and masked,
And carrying a bow and arrow too,
Leaping on rooftops, entering unasked.

I couldn’t hit a target with a

Ninja Duck

Ninja duck had a powerful war cry.
More than a quack, it sounded like “Die!”
How did you become a ninja, and truly why?
He said it came to me naturally bye and bye.

Ninja duck could do maneuvers and moves on you.
That would change your attitude, turn you black and blue.
I stay out of his way when he

Ninja On the Shelf

I have a little ninja,
I keep it on the shelf.
It’s not exactly quiet;
I wish it came in stealth.

The things that you can use it for!
There is no lack of wealth.
It even makes fresh pizza dough
And smoothies for your health.

Sometimes, I like to chop things up
When I can’t help myself.
We are a blended family now;
I puréed

The Late Michael Jackson

An enduringly charming singer, 
His heard voice did linger,
His conquering kicks of a Ninja,
To The Despairing, a ginger. 

Wondrously effusive a singer,
His lyrics a bell ringer
And to millions, their Bliss Bringer:
Losers to the heists of Dead Dillinger.

His rhythms rolled the ball of God Wingers,
The strings of his guitars plucked by practised fingers.

Every handed Grammy,
For his

Ninja Spider

Ninja Spider

Spying a spider on my wall
your not staying there - no never at all
with rolled up paper intent to squish
I tip toe over quietly shoosh shoosh shish

Approaching the spider grew it much bigger
I was ready to strike but spider was quicker
it moved and turned I swear to confront me
making me squeal - felt such

Ninja Granny's Exuberant Colors

The master of mischief shatters her darling windowpane,
grey-haired ninja lady twists her bulletproof cane.
Oh poor antique walls displeased at this routine,
they groan and wither at what this battle has been.

Granny in her sixties against the kid aged 5 to catch,
the monkey business in this house with none to match.
Broken cups, torn pillows-- souvenirs from February,
they

Ninja Granny I - the Rescuer

Folks say his mother used to read
Stories of ancient warriors indeed,
To give birth to a child as brave
As a legend beneath a historic grave.

'Achilles'- She used to call her son
And he grew up, fascinating like none,
Granny still zealous, planted ardor aboard
His mother gifted him a fervent sword.

Ninja granny took him to a wonderland
Where he was

Bonsai Ninja

with each breath I invite inner peace
approaching with meditative intent

manicure scissors in one hand
zenlike harmony in my heart

a passion for recreating micro landscapes
it’s a labor of love aesthetics and patience

defoliation wiring clamping and grafting
tapering shaping with explicit precision

twisted branches gnarly roots
graceful symptoms of ageing

pruning windswept replicas 
of effortless poetry in motion

My Ninja Woman

Ninja woman steadily studies me.
She has come to live, and she is gloating.
I feel a power I have never felt.

She is coming to life in my living room.
Staring at me from beyond the sofa.
I recognize her look; she is gloating.

I feel a bit threatened. She exudes danger.
Can I sleep tonight? Will she annihilate me with

Ninja Flop

Sticks
landing!
Crucial flaw -
cool critter flops
Ninja Warrior's cool million Pipe Dream.




*Pipe Dream is a Phase 3 American Ninja Warrior obstacle ~ so close, little guy ;)

Did I See a Ninja

I could have sworn I saw a ninja from my boat
who moved stealthily through the night.
Thank goodness he wasn't after me.
He was in just the right amount of light
At window height
When I saw him flee.
I could have sworn I saw a ninja from my boat
Who moved stealthily through the night.
I was out of sight
There was

Ninja and Samurai

Warriors become philosophical black
Assassins walk on water in fabric magic
Boots move quicker than the wind
Clearly invisible through vampire mirrors
Void of color, empty of human images

The night draws shapes on Ninja Lake
Reflects back vivid in shards of ice
Protecting natures shadowy body
Secrets blend in with Winter

Light objects gentle to the touch
Become solid as spy machines
Scramble into action
Move

Soccer Mom Ninja

If you ever meet up with a soccer mom ninja
Watch you don't cross her or she'll chop your chinchilla
Vicious and surly
This dangerous girlie
Avoid her at all costs or call in the militia
