Short Clawed Poems

Discarded driftwood
clawed branch in desperation 
where once it stood tall

Their profession clawed
News week with opinions prod
Painting teachers flawed

Hahaha she laughed 
It’s ok, it’s me, he said
As his lusty words 
crept in my ear 
clawed at my brain....

In circles and circles went the rat
On a family's front doorstep mat
A pet clawed for more
Then opened the door
Then was eaten by an indoor cat...

what, I wonder, did you unlock
winter songs of summer birds
in a dingy cell with clawed-at walls
in drawing rooms where princes died
and all the soldiers marching by
trembling in rooms...

Trump Did Discover

What Trump recently did discover
Like him will not ever be another
Through women ha has clawed
Especially ones with bare bod
Over them he liked to hoover.

Keen sight,eyes aglow.Moving slight no one knows.Smell of fear,very near.Undeniably
clever.The skill,thrill of the frightful prey.Can't hide from the beast
outside.Gnawed,clawed,taste of food....

between the remnants
of the clawed and rips
of the real
from beneath the jagged edges
i glimpse the vastness of the nothing
and oh how it welcomes
with its trumpets of buzz
and numb that hits the spot...

It started out as tiny as a half grain of sand.
An itch in my finger in my most leftist hand.
I scratched it and clawed it; now it is down to my knee.
This gigantic welt of an itch will be the death of me!...

Sometimes on their scrawled faces
where life has clawed
through ripping flesh like
paper strands
where strokes of shadow
echo with despair
and sadness folds itself
sympathetic in my resonance
and wonder if beauty will be...

Our Broken Wings 
Held in Our Hearts of Gold  
And I am  Torn Too
To Shreds
Our feathers shed,
Clawed by The Cat of all Predators
My heartless heart 
And I Kneel weary  before Our Rising Sun
Bathed once more 
In the Glory
Of coming  home......

The Dawn Broke every bone
While fighting the Darkness;
Still struggling to Rise,
She clawed her way
Over the Skyline,
Tearing herself on
Skyscrapers until the 
Whole Sky
Was stained Red;
Eyes were averted-
Everyone agreed-
It was Too Soon....

Endless stretch the tracks 
  of those who’ve ‘accomplished’!
The chilling realization
  Iron's flash, decapitation
    History's knife, expurgation...
   
What once moved men’s hearts
   relentless clawed apart ~
Fickle be the art
   of every fresh start...

Supermen in death machines, 
\were driven off, 
hot lead was seen,
 twas Hitler's Albatross.
the Nazis so obscene,
clawed from the skies the cost,
Brave men in Spitfires lost,
won Battle of Britian scene,
 ammo.303 ran hot, 
awesome warriors oh so lean!...

Jump sniff chew scratch
dogs loved to be stroked on their backs
Run pant stretch bark
dogs love playing ball in the park
Digging holes with their clawed nails
Long ears and wagging tails
I love dogs
they are such fun
throw a stick and watch
them run.

Blue black was the night
a cat clawed moon fright
larked against the sullen sky
no blow to bemoan
no flight to atone
and so no stars were on high.

The air leaden, gray,
weak of shadow's play
feline howls, growl, harmonized
uncovered shivers
bodies that quiver 
by a claw moon undisguised....

There once was a lion tamer named Claude

   For twenty years the cheering hordes he'd awed

      He had been bitten and mauled

         But the mad crowds he enthralled

            Alas, Claude met his doom when he was clawed!

When rain had soaked memories to rot
When the lightning came burning the debris of thought
And after the thunder of her pain
She stood in silence to see what her insecurity had done
And only then saw in her hand
The hammer that had clawed the nails from doors and roof
Before the weather changed her life...

The fiddler crab waves his giant claw
A rival crab has got him beat
Small clawed female watches in awe
The fiddler crab waves his giant claw  
Small clawed female stiffles a haugh
Unimpressed watches his defeat
The fiddler crab waves his giant claw
A rival crab has got him beat...

The dreamer
Lies buried in the hemisphere
Like hominids nested in calcium
Upon outstretched shovel
Vermillion corridors pounce in theatrical unfolding
Its all shadows and graves say
Those cliffside with buckets of fear

While I clawed suddenly the dichotomy came clear
Now I'm hijacking lotuses from the other side...

In the sun's light
I can see that smile.
Then that lion
with her roar
with her claws
with her pounding jaws
with her everlasting bite
she clawed my heart.
Tears to my eyes
as he says maybe
Still not knowing what tomorrow brings.
That lion and her claws smiles
as if she has won.
But I'm still fighting....

On raised thorny stilts
Marbled lampposts, lifted eyes
Clawed leaves for soft filth

The spider grown fat,
And hard, and round, and callous 
Like hogs, blinds the sand

I know my species
The same purpose fits the flies
The outer shell lies

Barrels hiss with us
Clambering to scuttle time
Gravity's dead claw...

taste
for
words
we are
an
chaser

chalkboard
blackened
by
white
erasers

fingernails scrape
down the backs
of
curtain
drapers

clawed
by
my
love

never had
an
love

my kind
of
love

hold me again
dear use me
with your
curves
naked
me's
admire your
taste for words

Staring wide out from the past;
Never seen to blink.
Superior; nonchalent.
As kings and as gods.

Trace, as on a wall of air
Speech; decipherable.
As fades, fades, in front of each
Awe which silent nods.

"All of this rubbing of Time
As fierce these sands blow
Is, in defacing, blunt-clawed!
Bears Nile's hexopods"....

Truth a word in tegrous clawed
Regal right admitted awed
Under spell of power old
Time has held it to be told
Hiding naught and standing bold

While the wicked ways of man
Indicate that no one can
Lie in true evasion
Let a pure and simple fool

Offer this assertion
Underneath each lie that's told
There lies a seed of truth...
