human contrast !
               Throughout the life journey,
               many share crumbs,
               few are crammed of bread ......

Mangiferin crammed,
Magnificent fruit king...
Mingled with vitamins,
Minerals and fibers
Makes marvelous milkshakes...
Maintains mental health by
Marring malefic moods......

We are boxes of matches,
Some crammed with chances,
Some rattle th last few,
Some too chafed to spark a new flame,
Some crumbled with th rain,

My last matchstick,
I want to strike it for you....

The Naked Truth – Sequel From Another Sequel



he strutted around like a brute
crammed in a too tight bathing suit
but on its release
It weren’t no smooth peach
just a wrinkled piece of old fruit

With Christmas done and dusted now that we’re in January
I’m feeling rather portly cos I ate, drank and got merry
With twenty pounds upon my waist and ten pounds on my legs
The last thing that I need is shops crammed full of Easter eggs...

Relax, Slow down.

The world isn't going anywhere.

You have time to catch your breath.

So breathe in then out.



Open your mind and let your bad thoughts unclog.

Now you can move on in life without being fully crammed with life's hardships....

The silvery fog called to me
Come sit enjoy leisure
You've worked hard, its time for joy
Create poetry caricature

He was squat and fat funny man
Bald, round, loved cups of dram
He'd laugh and joke kid many folks
True feelings inside crammed ...

 The food tasted so very yummy 
He crammed it all in his tummy
Soon he wanted to poo
But there was no loo
Had it before found a toilet crummy

Pourquoi?
Much have been left unsaid.
Why can men be the most
	miserable
		ignorant
			unattractive
creatures to live?
To seek approval, and
	feed themselves money.

Brain crammed and jammed and packed
inside a hollow slot.

How [...] live(s) in a second-hand framework.
[...]self....

Do words live in my fingers
Making escape from the mind
Or might they be under keys

If they do live in the keys
Can I touch with my fingers
I hope they will never mind

But they sit within my mind
Not crammed inside the keys
Residing underneath fingers

Fingers put my mind to keys...

“Be still for Chrisake!
The head is crowning. 
Now be still, damn you!”

These women are the damned
Crammed into slab huts
At the edge of Hell.
Condemned as sluts,
Their bellies swell
With hunger
Or some bastard’s bastard brats.

"Be still, please God!
Let the brat be still!"...

KILLING JAR

you promised to kill…
this morning a
dark head pacing
sidewinding
slimy sublime
narcissi

the blood read:
trespassers will be
persecuted
strangled
pungent veins
entangled

crammed pulp 
congealing 
filling
killing jar

Behind Those Eyes

What’s behind those dark brown eyes?
A scheming mind, a selfish streak
Blaming others, with blatant lies
Words of scorn crammed in cheek
Emptied on a victim when confronted
Defensive beyond any other I’ve known
Dismissive, emphatic, if cover blown.

David Cox 13/09/23...

when you read a poem
consider the probability
that what seem to be chopped off phrases
and shreds of dangling sentences
are actually jagged blocks and slabs
of porous prose lumped and crammed 
in a page in a manner that's ...


           ...  not entirely


                    ... unintentional....

Crammed between inverted commas
one puts quotes or direct speech,
could be single, could be double
seems a simple task to teach.
Yet some students often mix them.
It’s a skill beyond their reach!

Where is the twisted human club?
I did not know, so here’s the rub….
I saw them crammed in a cranny down the street.
Their petootsies were showing, it was not sweet.

Now when people ask I send them there.
But they left years ago, without a care.
I still like giving them a wild goose chase.
Serves them right for asking me at every place....

The man waited for Thanksgiving Day,
To take part in an evening buffet
The food would be inviting
He felt his mouth watering
He stayed so impatient for Thursday

He found the food tasting so yummy
He crammed all he could in his tummy
He wanted to go for poo
But sad, nowhere was a loo
He ran up and down very crummy...

Maurice was crammed full of buttock-clenching humors
                        One day in the month of May he poked Jannie's tumors
                                             'Oh they are real groovy'
                                              'Must taste like anchovy'
                      "How can you be so sure?' 'they are under my  bloomers'....

pines
fragrance
the woodland
with their rugged
air is crammed with a pungent aroma

Branches of redwoods arching to the skies
like the cleansed breath
Knotted stems
unspoiled
Grows.

Grown to Die
By Valerie D. Staton


Beautiful and fragrant is how we’re described
Yet they cut us, as soon, as we arrive
Crammed into vessels with limited space,
To put a smile on another one's face
They place us on tables, watch us decay
Then quickly toss, our fragments away
We sprout, then blossom, within days, we die
That is a cut flower’s cycle of life....

In London 
Big Ben told me the time
Seven p.m.
With chains clinking history
A few yards away
With his heavy jaw
Churchill was chewing 
Burned out human wisdom
People were crammed into every space
And cameras were flashing and weaving
Like stunned fireflies 
The world’s caique appeared in the mist
Old, very old
The captains come and go 
But the oarsmen are the same –
Nameless...
