If you slap me I 
Might cry one tear from one eye
Take one cloth dab one
cheek then give you one chance at
Diligent apologies...

Pineapple upside down cake.
Delicious coffee.
Serve with a dab of whip cream.
Brown sugar on top.
Melting in your mouth.
Sensuous.
Sin!...

Poetry in your thoughts
Poems of fonts not taunts
Paintings you stroke or dab
People of places hub
Pleases and kisses knit
Pencils and pens that lit
Poetry of your life...

There once was a cute little girl named Sue
Smack dab down her forehead, a curlicue
   She so much wanted straight hair
   She planted an iron there
Now, instead of hair, she's got barbeque...

Though she holds the greatest of horns
Smack dab on her head with thorns
She sees herself as good
With a smart body and hood
A devil she mocks, she surely did mourn

Love vibes

Up rush inner-strength, peace sublime, glee ,when
        dab of love by darling buds
        taste the tender tendrils

Always feels naughty to us
For to tingle so.
Bare-sodded, bare-streamed; cool, cool;
To dab, dip a toe.

The worst frivolity, bar
Being wholly nude!
"Look away now!" What's on our mind.
To worm's, fish's prude. We...

A dab here, a splash there
vivids and pastels
smooth and scraggy

spontaneous strokes
wrapped in mystery

Profound
Subtle
Silent
Divine.

Abstract Art.

A beam, a flame,
A flicker, a flash

from

Infinity....

Eye of newt, wing of bat,
A dab or a dollop of dragon fat,
Stirred in a pot o'er a witch's flame,
A potion for love, or riches, or fame,
Or delousing a kid, a dog, or a cat,
Or dispatching a spouse, or suspending a spat....

A little dab across her wrist 
"what scent is it ?" 
She asks with one inquisitive 
brow, ...
He lays a kiss on the vein of her 
bangle arm,  
" its smells like poetry, doesn't it ?" 
oh indeed, it does....

dab and strain
casting hues behind silhouette tree tendrils
pinks slide effortlessly into ambered oranges
clouds splice and span
in whispered wisps
straggles of reddened blacks
Tetris shapes cut the horizon shadows
and night holds its note
in frozen hurt...

A lighter moment
doffs his hat
inviting me
to a little chat
engrossed in angst
and emotions deep
I sigh a bit
and dab my cheek
he snuggles down
and draws me near
taking off
my cloak of fear
raising up
his finger-tips
he blows a smile
onto my lips....

Worst place for a man to get hit, is smack dab in his junk
Getting hit in the center of his universe puts him in a funk
Rather be stabbed in the eye
With a sharp stick by someone nearby
Happened to me only once, never ever again even if I'm drunk...

i stared at the blank canvas
brush in hand
a dab of black 
eager to make it's mark

i put a spot 
then another 
and another 
a clan of black 

not done enough 
i put some more conformities 
no painting, just painted black 

Conformity!

With a stroke of the brush,
A dab of paint,
A portrait, I drew.
Blew into it the breath of life,
Lo! There it stays my Masterpiece

A dab on the shoulder
A drop for the knee
An oil for your comfort
The pain going free

A magical oil
No doctor to see
How easy for moving
from one place to three

For old people ceasing
from rust in their blood
just a little glob of oil
brings good health from crud....

Gather her up with velvet mitts.
Dab with cotton wipes.
Toss her gently on a bed of roses.
Yank her light switch until she glows.
Purge blues with muted pastels.
Whisper of wealth yet to come, 
encourage with chocolates and wine.
Agree to die first;
love her back to roundness....

There she stands and watches me.

                Big, brown eyes that shine with glee.

                Smiling face with laughing grin,

                A dab of chocolate on her chin.

                Innocence and childlike grace

                 Etched upon my baby's face...

Rabbits create quickly
fruitful procreation

spurring tender feelings
domestication shared.

I connect with one for 
just this dawn, she has birthed 

four babies, smack dab in 
the middle of my lawn.

Smack dab in the heights 
a moment missed 
where cracks crease 
the self-destruct
unnoticed 
in the reality
that life evolves
enveloping every step
up the ladder
surveying tattered seams
costs of lovers dreams
and then you fall
or fail
to see the lessons
and what they truly mean...

every morning
I paint my face
this pale
uncompromised
canvas
a dab here
brush stroke there
in surrealistic hope
that the world will see
someone else and
somehow
still see me

at night
a little more
glitter here
gloss there
maybe you'll see
someone else and
somehow
fall in love
with me...

They ply themselves to sculpting,
to fingernails and foie-gras,
those crafty cutters, carving, trimming.

Creations to delight the senses,
a dab of blush or sauce bearnaise,
a final glance, she's ready for her audience.

Haute couture or haute cuisine, 
they'll grace a page
in any food or fashion magazine....
