Quintain--
Puppies
Playful, awkward
Spirited energy
Clumsy fur balls to cuddle with
Hazard vest is highly recommended
held her heart, thinking of stars
he shouldn’t have trusted his sight…
it was my twin, he embraced~
awkward tale of lust..
there was a bit of a rush
by those quite ready to gush
during intermission
(an awkward position)
Awaiting the last best flush
Marriage
Rocky stable
Loving hoping longing
Family warm cold divided
Hating torturing and loving
Distasteful awkward
Divorce
Alice alligator anxiously awaits for an audience of awkward anteaters.

A clumsy encounter
Where words fail
Keeping a distance
With those present
Abetting a slow
Riveting
Demise of dignity
Sometimes
I just want
the background noise
of what is true,
common, awkward
and comfortable.
Most
of the time,
I don’t.
HOW ARE YOU---
Passions falls;
Emotions fail;
Your heart calls;
Your mind sails;
Anxiety sessions;
Awkward blessings

Tragedy of human affairs
fledgling...a comedy of errors
incidental....accidental
awkward,as we clumsily stumble
The world is awkward, ferocious-
when I make my mind
mind of hater;
when I make my eyes
eyes of hater

had a good childhood
was an awkward teen
did well in school
worked hard played hard
found then lost love

Straw for hair
Charcoal nose
Awkward stare
Robotic pose
Emerald dreams
Carving my eyes
Red painted cheeks
Onyx cries
Wonderful at wind dancing
I alone drink wine
my choice is sweet red wine
that leaves me smiling in delight
I fear the beer
it's awkward taste
leaves me with bitter face
round and round everything's swell
without a hitch things seemed to go...
then suddenly an awkward hiccup

The small, full moment
of love in the afternoon.
Awkward and nuanced.
•
Small, empty moment,
a remembrance of passion.
My constant sadness.
it seemed
his pretentious gibberish
would never end
and then
out of nowhere
emerged
the most blessed
awkward
silence

I don't mean to be untoward.
This news, I grant, is a bit awkward,
but there are some things that must be said.
As of last Thursday, noon, you are quite dead.
Awkward sunrises confuse
A broken heart
And a window tapped outside
Cracks open to reveal
A staggering splendor
And taking in the scenery
I see
Me without you
Form:
I'm sure the seagull on the post
in my garden
was feeling
Feeling good
His awkward tilts from left to right
his bobbing squawks
catching the beat
just too well
Sue was just a farmer's lass
At whom I made an awkward pass ~
She said, Let's have some fun
I'll let you see my bun ~
Too bad dad had a long shot-gun
five's were easy
five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty
the nine’s should have been easy too
but they are not as jazzy to sing
18, 27, 36, 45
awkward melody
I say hello,
the room goes quiet,
it is filled with awkward silence.
I am not wanted.
I turn to leave,
I take three steps,
I slam the door,
conversation resumes.
Form:
metronome
keeping me in perfect precision
with the demands
of the world
to conform
to stay
in the restricting confines
of this awkward box
while the
world
twirls
Form:
Our first kiss was very awkward and fast
it didn't take my breath away at all.
