browsing through emails,
and searching for an address,
just by accident
I come across an old friend's
poignant obituary
entry for Charles Messina's "Fourtle" contest, September 17, 2025
no stair, light blown
climbed chair, broke bone
it was an accident
he was not a violent man
her death was her own fault
she goaded him
he dropped her body into the hole
I ain't gonna walk no more, no more
I ain't gonna walk no more
Got in a wreck and broke my neck
I ain't gonna walk no more.
The tragedy of accident,
the wonderment of fate
imprisoning destiny
—on whose steps we wait
(Dreamsleep: September, 2021)
The accident and the lesson it did give
Tis better to almost die than almost live
*Celebrating the 4th of October
temporary blindness
view obstructed
fog
ice patch
loss of control
accident
snow bank
at the intersection
brakes fail
The road accident
Left so many students killed
On the very spot!
Totally heartbreaking news
For their friends and relatives.
The walls break
My heart is a stepping stone
It's swallowing the rain
Nightmare's obstacles
Faith's accident
See through clouds
the girl in the purple leotard
that everyone made fun of
until the accident
when they all went to the funeral
and pretended to cry
Form:
Driving in the rain
Slippery road, we hit car
Person hurt his neck.

Any starting
presages the result
but the word
“Sudden” comes accidentally!
oh; it changes the whole

Don’t ask me
To write a cartoon on Islam
Write a cartoon on the Ku Klux Klan
Or on Diana’s car accident
You have a better chance to survive

I'm looking for my brother
Could he be hiding in the kitchen?
Oops ~ methinks I found him

From a small accident I didn't foresee
Again, I see dirt all over me
It's no new alert
I'm older than dirt
So that's why it's attracted to me!
There was a man called Terry
Who captained his own Ferry
When his ship hit a rock
He recovered from the shock
Drinking a bottle of Sherry.
Aerial acrobatics at the circus.
They have everyone in oohs and ahhs.
One slip and fall ~ it’s all over.
Broken bones won’t be the worst of it.
peacock plumage
divine perfection ~
or cosmic accident?

The ballet dancers are missing two members for the show tonight.
They got caught in an accident on the way.
Two members of the audience joined the show.
Adieu, Grandma. We loved you.
Christmas won't be the same without you.
We'll miss you a bunch.

round and round everything's swell
without a hitch things seemed to go...
then suddenly an awkward hiccup

So with Nitro I'm sure you're aware
They say it's to be handled with care
But when it eroded
Is when it exploded
And then blew everything in the air
Driving uphill with only faith.
Stay in your lane at all cost.
Chance meetings can be catastrophic.

not
walking
in my sleep
but
waking
i take a pee
and
making
my way back
to bed
intending
but instead
get
sidetracked
a very horrible accident
Form:
Floundering on the shore
Of a new-found land
Couldn't breathe air
Til I landed on sand
Purely by accident
Not by my hand
Purely by accident
Can't understand.
