Punch-Drunk Poet Meets Chandelier Chin

With nothing but a jawbone, I
unhinge the night, let silence die—
book of broken psalms, toothless songs
of what was right, of what went wrong
beneath the hush of watchful sky.

No prize, no game, no lullaby—
just marrow's oath and blood gone dry.
I didn’t mean to last this long
with nothing but a jawbone.

Still, blood remembers how to lie,
to shape

The Punch-U Gang

There is a new English gang in town
In the town of Punctuation
They call themselves the “Punch U” gang
A solid gang with a strong foundation

The Punch-U gang members consists of:

Hyphen - the gang leader
They call him Dash
He is charismatic, clever, a born leader
Firm but fair…. excepting no gang trash

Exclamation point ! Dash’s right hand man
They call

i'll still punch uh brutha out

.

                       i felt hern pretty
                            

O pack a punch in life

Zaahid sharaab peene de masjid mei baith kar,
Yaa vo jagah bataade jahaañ par khudaa na ho.
 
Priest, let me sit in a mosque with my pint,
Or show me a place without His footprint.
                      

Punch

Peppy steaming cider 
Prepare with Brach’s red hots 
Potent with cinnamon
Pleasing with warm pretzels
Popular with popcorn
Premier holiday treat
Pass me a big mugful!

On lunch, munch, and punch

And leaving all else,  they debate on lunch.
To one, lunch time was waste, hence, break-less munch.
The other felt, lunch-less
Would no new glory bless
To UK, nor hoary 
Return to old glory,
Lunch is a place mid-stream--  
Island to which all swim,
If cooler breaks are fine,
Need for lunch-break’s genuine,
For, from stomachs come working peoples’ punch.

When Cupid Hit the Punch - TRI

Cupid went on a tear
that day he hit the punch.
His shots went here and there.
He sure was out to lunch.

That day he hit the punch
and ventured to the zoo
to where his arrows flew.

His shots went here and there
and hit a hare and sloth
thus twitterpating both.

He sure was out to lunch,
and I would like to know

Punch Drunk

He should never have stepped in the ring

Because he had no talent to bring 

Even though he battled

His brain just got rattled 

And now he can't remember a thing

Overladen snow covered crackle and crunch
though, this skeptic owned a doubtful hunch
that such 24/7 round the clock whether coverage
would make laughingstock of forecasting
how Jack Frost feigned being out to lunch,
whereby inaccurate weather forecasters
outsmarted courtesy Mother Nature,
where snowfall accumulation tallied 
one for the record books, a

Punch Drunk

Barn house full of goods,
Fool rich man brags for himself,
Dead one day relief.

Smack, Punch, Kick

*smack* *punch* *kick*
Behind closed doors is what you miss
On the outside, it all seems fine
On the inside, it all declines
But hide or else
You might hear yells

Throwin' a Punch

no need for brass knuckles for a knockout punch ~ just a pair of brass balls

Sucker Punch

Death is at my bedroom door
It doesn’t have to knock
doesn’t have to show its face,
I can feel its presence...
Should I open and embrace eternity,
Or for a few more breaths suffer mortality?
