I put the letters in a box
and shook them till they fell
awoke to find a crooked poem

turn yesterday—
paper sighs low,
pressed petals, crooked keys,
laughter fading into hush
slowly.

I Lost Myself Somewhere Along This Crooked Line

can you love this friday heart
that greets you on
    sunday
when
    you
are at your

and

Unlocking Our Hearts

His crooked white clock
On night stand like a black block.
Time stands still on clock.
Music making us unlock
Our hearts out of every block.

How does your part-crooked smile
Break out with such elegant style?
Subtle flaws modeled graceful and true
Like a gown woven just to fit you...

Lune - Stones

one small stone
laments it place on top
a crooked tower
built on sand
cannot abide a rising tide
slow creeping near

Mourning

Empty lockets
dangle softly
from crooked necks--

dappled granite
faces west
where the sun sleeps--

whispered prayers
linger quietly
as a child weeps.

Disbarred

The crooked lawyer was disbarred
When the case he worked on was charred
He sunked so low
When hit with a large blow
Then pulled out his latest trick card

Hiding Under the Lily Pad

No longer was she a croaking bullfrog
but a pretty faerie in the middle of the meadow
unless you looked under the lily pad
and saw her crooked polka dot legs

Dishonorable

Trump called her 'Crooked Hillary;'
     It became an incessant curse.

  After firing Tillerson through the media:
     It's plain that Trump's much worse.

Crooked House of Poland

Poland’s shopping center in crooked house,
Showplace of Sopot, fairytale, right Klaus?
A crazy look.
Shop with books.

Corruption In Legal Matters

He defended two thieves with a smirk:
one bimbo and a jerk;
the old, crooked judge released them
knowing it was a scam...
they walked free applauding his trick.

Humpty Trumpty sat in the White House,
Humpty Trumpty had a great electoral loss;
All his lawyers and crooked friends, 
Couldn't make Humpty Trumpty president again.

Candles lit crooked flames breeze enticing
Tradition rich climbs eerily naked inviting
High heels and spirals, seashells and stars
Legs twined with ideal stain tinged wisdom.

Lawyers want money to buy a new suit
Thieves with a rolex and evil to boot
They're as crooked as can be
They all need buried at sea
That's where they'd be but I just don't pollute

Trump Like So Many Saws

Trump Like So Many Saws

Trump reminds me of so many saws,
With crooked teeth that have flaws;
Is a total pest,
Like all the rest;
He even shot and killed Santa Claus.

Pervoked and Croaked By Trump

Provoked and Croaked

Elegant words from mouth of Trump evoked;
Even those complacent became provoked;
No denying;
He was spying,
And what we wish is that he had crooked.

Playing Church

steeple hands
piano voices
stand up, kneel down
confession box
anointing with oil - at door
sign of the cross and a crooked knee
chewing gum
ruffling papers

one tear-stained face

Desire

Crooked teeth love rings
Bloody nose offerings
Carpet burns shivering
My little bruised thing

You are mine

Eye vessels busted
Hidden skin welted
Your pulled hair twisted
Burning love cysted

Santa Visits Ukraine

Why Santa hurries to visit Ukraine?
He knows the people there are in great pain.
He feels the consequences,
Of Putin's crooked senses;
He grasps Ukraine will fix Putin again...!
