Short Chested Poems

Fox cub ventures forth

Blood-orange pelt, white-chested

Sneezes seed pod out





Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow
Could imagine this is a fox sound.

Ahee-ahee-ha-hee
is quite funny!...

The magpie
was swooping
the waddling toddler
the little blackbird
chested the black and white
mid-air
his audacity
broke the magpie's
trajectory
saving the toddler's
sight....

I am a lion
King of all the Savage beasts
Shouts roars not whispers
Mighty King of the jungle
muscular, deep-chested cat

My husband fell in love with the beautiful Mae West.
I knew it was because of her oversized breast.
"Mae is beautiful," I retorted,  "but small chested girls also like to hug."
"You and Mae," he laughed, "is like comparing a Cadillac to a Volkswagen bug."...

Nine Inch Nails play Handel’s Messiah
Gauguin paints Guernica bare chested
war poets fall in love with what never was
a Gingko tree blossoms at Hiroshima’s swords
into ploughshares condor legions into peace doves

cacophony synaesthesia proverbially composed

Blue eye shadow, blue beak, black innocent eyes - bleak
Chestnut back with designed grey gown and tail ~ misspeaks
He with a white necklace, she a smooth ochred chested
Silent birds still in bare forests at God's behest...

The winter emerged bare chested and ripe, stripped of summers hot and heavy lusty nights.

A virgin frost had formed upon the flesh of the olive branch, and the flushed face of summer's bloom slowly sank.  

Cloudburst now revealed the nude turquoise of winter, which flooded the skies with its breathless chill of frigid pleasure....

A wee fellow, sporting an outsize bold-orange chest
  The male of the species, ever doing his best
    To protect his shyer, pale-chested mate

Back and forth struts Mr. Robin 'cross yard and fence
  Twitching and turning, movements taut and tense
A most dutiful look-out, if not so in actual name
  ~ Noble sentry, setting Madame Robin's heart aflame...

Death be not proud, bare-chested, forever resting
in dross mixed with the amalgamation of your unrest.

— by poet

Putin’s Final Resting Place

Blow it all up!
Be done with you!
As the ash, like snow
earns you
your eternal urn.

Celebrity Carrots shook hands with onlookers
    Barrel-chested Beets beat their chests like bass drums
  Soft-spoken Celery Sticks whispered soliloquies
    Mild-mannered Mushrooms spun themselves silly

           At the Vegetable Pride Parade
           Not even legumes left behind
           Rootin'-tootin' Green Beans
            ~ by blaring trumpets designed...

Branches like bars
separate me from skies
birds in flying
alight

Sung out of this
feathered corset —
each tongue tight,
for night's

Unseen way up —
alone, lay
me down with
my unseen streak

Their skeleton
unlike my wings;
God, they
sing —

Eyes nest
nowhere —
I remember morning
by heart

Red chested,
I'm blinded 
by the percussions
who can see dark —...

The accretion of a perfect squall
when claws were out-

scavenging novelties. A lewd
paranoia slains a farewell

in a trench. The chamber has
vomited a mound of gold blinding a shell.

The combs did not straighten
the puff. The old man was very lonely.

I would stop hunting the stings
of a bare-chested moon.

I recuse myself from judging the paperboat
which wanted to cross the ocean.

Five bare-chested boys
Got bored of their toys
Marched down the lake
Without teacher Jake.

Wearing their trousers
They played four hours
Under the sun’s heat
And were tanned a bit.

John climbed up the tree
With the help of Lee
When stung by a bee
He wanted to pee.

Sach and Ted wrestled
While Andy whistled
All stayed at the bank
Safely making pranks.

Five barefooted boys
So hard to decoy
Such valiant and smart
They were all boy scouts.
