Short Back Out Poems

Cardinal swoops in, a female I see
Flies back out upon spying little me...

It's set
My choices
Can't back out now
Unless I want to drop
Face first...

I back out
is the reason
I am feeling the same way as you do.....

Wayward  by James Edward Lee Sr.

Up down
In out

In sound
Up route

Back out
Wayward...

So moving on
I wade through
The poetry
Waiting for
What I will see
When I get back out...

A sentence or two, nothing more.
Five rhymes, and then back out the door.
A meter that’s strained,
Some topic profaned:
Ah me! What’s a limerick for?

Check out the Gadzooks
on that one
the nasty boys say

I say go to your corner
and cry
like the children you are

Come back out
when you have grown up....

Sunny blue skies wave me farewell
  Into my domicile to take a phone call

Back out on the porch as soon as I can
  Starry skies greet me in a conversation's span...

Tossed About By Storm

By storm things were tossed all about,
And after all over, there was no doubt;
Location,
A relation;
We knew where to put things back out.

Striving to live
I put my truth into myself
attempting to pull me back out

Alas I am kicking and shrieking
for body is in pain-like stupor

All energy is for survival today....

Heat; day's, night's. The difference
Twixt caliph's oppressiveness
Swirled of sands about;
And what fine garbed, a-glitter
Offspring's, oozing sultriness
His own, lures back out....

Midnight 
Fireworks
New year
Never hurts

Back in
Party hard
Back out
Fresh start

Midnight
Head hurts
New year
Never works

Back in 
Party starts
Black out
Falling hard...

back out and bare

An older woman
Reading on the light rail,
In her purse, a bottle of water
With these words on the label,
"Source of an Epic Life."
I shift my gaze back out the window,
And face reality....

She has a hidey-hole in the workplace.
Sometimes we cannot find her for hours.
I found it accidentally once, but could not tell anyone
Because it was a rat’s nest and I never found my way back out....

With little to gain
and much more to lose
the soldier reloads
no longer to choose

A fate most uncertain
all outcome in doubt
his soul placed in Limbo
—too late to back out

A wife sent her hub to the store;
she phoned in more items galore.
He forgot to write ‘em,
came back sans one item;
she sent him right back out the door.

drug addicts no shame 
                 any excuse once it’s lame 
                  in court   last fix claimed
             back out burgling  on the game 
                    society accepts blame

Alive and death,
Are only The Breath,
Moving through the depths,
Growing it's strength,
Going to any lengths,
To enjoy an experience,
Coming In sync with the dance,
Back out into the expanse,
Creating chance after chance...

The black hole took a bite of stars, 
he dreamed a candy store.
He ate a hundred billion stars,
and still he wanted more.

When he had finished everything,
the universe was bare.
He put some stars back out in space,
to have an ‘over there’....

Today’s blessing is an old reminder for parents
That every now and deserves to be brought back out:

While you we trying to teach our children (and grandchildren) about life
without trying, they are teaching us what life is all about.

i jammed my tummy full of tons of goods: 
sweeters, bakeys, taffy trunks.. 
i stuffed my tumm with so many foods, 
i ended up spewing chunks. 

oh, my sugary, candy-filled vomit, 
you were much better going in it than coming back out it....

If you were the ocean
I would never let you drift
Back out to sea
I would hold you as if

You were a precious
Sea shell
Never letting you
Drift away

Your my pearl in a shell
Let me love you
Let me care for you
My sweet

Pearl in a shell...
