then dashed into the pantry
For a scrap of food...

tred the shells of shattered dreams
 dashed on shoals of grief...

when the noise is dashed
   a lone cigarette 
   flickers ~
      then ash...

Ugly
Stormed the cloud
Rammed locomotion
Dashed the leftover of hope

Was found to be at fault
When he dashed off on a whim
No one kept up with him....

ranging venom of cruel souls
thousands of hope dashed
burning ember raised its hands
the world united in grief...

Girl, frail; by a chilled sea.
Its terror, life's! Shore-faced there.
And invigoratingly!...

Hope dances in sparkling terms

III
Hope sparkles like false diamonds in South Africa...

To skate on the lake in the sun
At zero degrees
The surface will freeze
I’m soaked: It was just above one...

As she dashed into her yoga school
Each move is complex
Regardless of sex
But the vicar just swallowed his tool....

Was charmed by a sweet-talking bloke
He gave her what-for
Then dashed out the door
Because he mis-spoke and he's broke...

Of items treasured now lost in schemes
Of hopes long lost or freshly dashed,
Left in limbo as cheques were cashed....

Dashed over the highest hurdle
With lightening speed!

Pickled farts I gotta  let you know
If it tickles when it comes out your hole
You better beware
When you stare down there
You probably pebble dashed the toilet bowl...

dashed like the wind, manoeuvred and leapt 
reminiscing those memories I treasured then kept...
for most of my life I slept....

but then it poured with rain,
I dashed inside and found a mac...
the sun came out again!

our paradise, lost
strewn and scattered, dashed upon
the beaches, our dreams
harrowed by a demon wind
heaven, devastated, drowned

Dashed devastated betrayed
Annihilated crucified smeared
Smashed dribbled drowned
Discouraged disbelieving debilitated
Life holds less meaning now
Unbelievable sadness...

We
dashed through
the
rainy
afternoon
taking
a
moment
to escape
the deluge in
a corner
café.
Our 
stormy
adventure
fueled 
an
intense
love....

Dreaming of your love
Adoring your beauty & smile
No smiles in return, hope dashed

Love is like a rose
Smell the petals , hurt by thornes
Rose and love, live in my heart

News splash

      Cars crashed

      Both smashed

      Heads gashed

      Arms mashed

      Legs slashed

      Whiplashed

      Lives trashed

      Hopes dashed...

With my lamp my left
And my brown haired dog my right
Something dark lurks in the woods
Who is there I call out?
We dashed out, smeared with blood a babe.

Listen to poem:

Hindsight is foresight's foe
Heralding woe betides
Halting the hoodwinking
Haunting the present tense
Hanging regrets in caches
Hype, hope dashed by failures
Holding you back, abjure!...

What I write is gone the second it hits the page
I write with the frenzy of a wild cat in a rage
It spits and hisses and snarls at me along the way
This is how I write poetry every dashed day....
