Hors d'oeuvres boxed in shells
From the kitchen fishy smells….
Red wine sautéed snails

Take one chicken breast
Cooked for 5 minutes too long,
an expired boxed wine
And she’ll be out of there quick
Perfect end to a bad date

my gray cells are few
my emotions are boxed up
a blank page stares back
mind over matter
allow my fingers to dance
escape from my cell

the chains that are bound
choking on each other's ignorance
fall short of the key
linked in division and plight
unable to stand as one

Good and sweet
Non-sour
Enough for tomorrow
Homemade
A four-layer
Chocolate with light icing
Surprisingly, delicious
Boxed up for a gift.

A once existed moment
Prior of defeat
Before fear
Boxed me in…
Laughter echoed
In tree tops climbed
Nature’s ignorant son
Rarely taking, ever shaking
Hope…

Mourner In A Corner
What he must be is some mourner;
He has been boxed up in a corner;
Around poke,
And then joke;
Am shocked that he is a real stoner.

Suddenly aroma of sweet shisha flew from across the room,
As I walk out of hot-boxed washroom, and into the living room,
I see love of my life in a chair far across the room.

caged and boxed
smacked into a smallish space
Confined
I am a lion
roaring loudly and clearly
In mindfulness
Praising family
for their non-interest
caged and boxed
Living full me-ness

There was an old woman:
a bit of a shrew -
She couldn’t have children,
'cuz guy parts won't do.
A shocking pink swath
up there on her head,
she drank boxed Chianti
and raised cats instead.

Funny depressed
Seek refuge in the soup
When your heart beats to fast
And ghost's crawl the walls
Slowly dim the light
Till your boxed in a corner
Watching the entrance cave in
Am I afraid?
Yes I am
I am holding my own hand

All
is finite
or infinite
the scientists say
Laying the
trap
that supports
their foray
If either
is neither
is or
something more
Entrapping
our freedom
and handcuffed
— unsure

BOXED LIDS © Haiku +
fear
Don’t enclose me in
Boxes come with four walls sealed
Seals me inside out!
fear
BOXED IN! © HAIKU +
A well fitted ‘box’ closets in
When the lid clamps shut
Capturing me in darkness!

I once boxed Mohammed Ali.
Then I knocked him out in Round Three.
I thrust out my chest
to show who was best.
Said, “Yo, now who stings like a bee?”

outside of all the boxes,
dwells the realm of innovation,
uncharted territory,
to be discovered and undiscovered,
once mapped, sucked into the mainstream,
boxed and normalized,
each innovation expands the known,
while also increasing the unknown.

Unaltered
One’s true self
Altered in Faith
To be your best
Emotions… memories
Unaltered, without peace
Altered in Faith
Emotions and memories
Are boxed and put away
Unaltered
Will return another day
Keep the Faith

bottleneck
gridlock
no go
five miles to the rest stops
tense grumbling
vultures are gathering
there are people out of their cars
screaming incoherently
like zombies
inside an in-car video game
avatars turn helplessly
in small jerky circles

Villain
Caged in
boxed-in
in love
with a
villain
Handcuff
to evil
nowhere
to run
away
Turned light
to dim
fond of
stealing
peace; joy
Closed hand
bruised face
regret
repeat
please stop
Thoughts of
slaying
villain
escape
bondage

Cleanliness Kitten was a professional cleaner and mom of the max.
She could clean with one paw nail while she dusted with harsh wax.
A small mouse learned the hard way when he was boxed about.
Trying to stay inside a small dollhouse she was cleaning, no doubt.

With air
All around
Yet I still go:

write a poem
make it rhyme
catch a word
out of time
trap it
wrap it
serve it up?
have it read?
boxed like that
is it dead?
limit thought?
how absurd!
why do that
to a word?
rehearse
