The Storm
Miracle man
11/18/2024
First the T.V. went,
then ditches filled with water;
the storm had arrived.

he was caught running between ditches
the witch’s wand stopped his running legs
and his pumping limb arms
now he is forever running in place
we call him the running tree

Find Glitches In Stitches
In everyone and thing, we find glitches,
So God will gladly help us sew stitches,
And a dirty deal,
Does not appeal;
God likes keeping minds out of ditches.

Digging ditches deeper does depend on dirt
Degradingly dry or dampened and drenched
Discovery delivers different diagnostics
Despite dimensions of developed domain.

My fingernails are filthy
Looks like they are digging ditches while I sleep
I begin to groom myself like a cat
I do not use my tongue, I use other nails
Nails scraping gunk out of other nails
Hoping to put off my bath until Wednesday

Whisper, whisper goes the wind,
Ruffling though my leaves.
I will not let him blow me down,
I’ll proudly bend with the breeze!
Drip, drip, goes the rain,
As it falls right through my branches!
I quietly let it slide right down my trunk,
And run into the ditches.

Rain
pours down
cats and dogs,
leaving puddles.
Water flows down through
canals, drains and ditches
Sky, overcast with dark clouds,
signals a torrential downpour.
Nature's fury, unleashed in full force.
Lands being inundated fast, men flee.

For lovers fighters and wild bronc riders
heres to the boys from new mexico
we have no trifles
we hang our balls upon the walls and shoot 'em down with rifles
when sex rare we'll rape a bear and sleep in dirty ditches
we'll show them texan boys we're some bad sons of god

I am a woman saver
I see them all depleted and torn
Smashed and squashed
Down in ditches
I try to pull them out
Not using church or books of man
I put my arms out but they do not leap into them
They think I am a killer, a maniac, someone else to hurt them
I never stop trying

My dog chews through cars
And houses and ditches
My dog chews through underwear
Spitting out delicate stitches
My dog chews through anything moldy or kosher
My dog Buddy chews like the blades of a dozer
We love him no matter that he just ate the house
At least it got rid of the cat and a mouse

autumn rainbows stripe
vegetable september
across bromham fields;
roundway island, hazed in mist
on a marrow orange sea
wiltshire sunbeams fall
gold on the cockle pickers
green fields, fishermen;
down fruit littered ditches glint
glitter strewn rivers of light

All through spring,
the catalysts of eddies,
encircle the rivulets
bubbling over,
like wherewithal's brandishing
this errant song.
Now the lesson is over,
dark ditches all reignite
treasons answer,
twice mightier than the sword,
he carries his words in the rain
following like the lamb
the serpents gain.

Rain brings the memory of the day
The car's engine caught on fire, and the uncles started
Dragging us kids out of the backseat
Throwing us silently into ditches
Saving our lives, without talking
We all knew better than to tell our mothers
Dad was the one pouring stuff on the hot engine in the rain
When it happened.

I have a habit to squash,
An ardent disciple of nyash,
I'm getting born again,
Never to follow it again,
From it I've lost my teeth,
Even from those that are petit,
Severally fell into ditches,
Look at all these stitches,
The latest hitting a wall,
Nyash is perilous as a whole,
@Tha Formidable Cheru.

Rhyme
You were our sun
Giving us the shine we did not get at home
You lifted us up
Out of the ditches of our lives
You gave us hope
We did not believe you at first
We thought you were lying to us
We knew who we were
But you did not give up
Inspiring us
To become
Who we could be
Rather than who our parents thought we were

Those who fly alone
Can survive tornadoes and floods
Leaning on others is not their go-to.
Lone wolves
Become savvy and wise
Learning more than most
Those who go it alone
Can survive other’s wrath
Crawl into ditches or pitch a willow lean-to
We are our own best teacher
Experience is our playground
Survival is our work

Man so brave we called him Sissy Britches.
One bee and he would dive into the ditches.
Terrified of fire,
One we couldn’t admire.
Killed during game by one of the pitches.
We did not hate him now that he was dead.
And learned pretty quickly his name was Fred.
He became a saint.
Memories a taint.
Put up a statue made of metal – lead.

The dirty skeleton of March
Wears a coat of shredded hope of winter's passing
And drags its feet through wind, rain and blackened snow
In ditches and across fields of stunted grain,
Swirling forgotten leaves of November
Still lying in dead and forgotten flower beds
Blowing away traces and thoughts of a gentle April for now,
But not forever..

Narrative
fading light captured
the roadside shimmers
soft shadows fall on ditches
I’ve been here before
I watch numbers change
on the odometer for amusement
to mark the passage of my life
a familiar song on the radio
but outside whispers of silence
sun and the moon in the sky
as they get ready to dance
my life given to reflections
a day given to moonlight

Oh Winnie the Pooh
Why don’t you wear shoes?
Don’t your soft yellow paws hurt?
Do they get covered in dirt?
I myself wear clogs
As they help me to jog.
While wearing my boots and red britches
And I can jump all around and over ditches
Whereas I know you will slowly pad along
Before you stumble over a log
My dear, dear Pooh
Why don’t you wear shoes?

I do not know?
softly, whispering
featherfalls on silent stone
winter, gravity
lost in the fog, birds
grieving morning voicelessly
remembering love
dead diamonds, ditches
glittering cold promises
fossil furrow froze
darkness, deepening
the womb and the grave hiding
secrets and shadows
in the ground, waiting
the souls of springs children sing
muffled lullabies

Where there’s a will, there’s a way,
While sun shines, let’s make hay.
Eat healthy and stay healthy,
Write poems and be wealthy.
For creativity is true riches,
It neither drains nor ditches.
Poetry is an art magnetic,
Only versed by folks majestic.
A royal hobby during leisure,
Perfect pastime of pleasure.
Let’s compose couplets cool,
Being royal they just rule..!!

The pain of night
When sleep ditches me at midnight hour,
Loneliness haunts as no one is in sight,
and in his thoughts I travel with stars,
The whole day is fagged in inside fight,
but who can imagine the pain of night ?

Quintain (English)
Pebbles, rocks and boulders
Obstacles in our way
Over, around and upward
The measure of our day..
Puddles, streams and rivers
Bar the way ahead
Step, wade or swim
Find another path instead...
Cracks, ditches and canyons
Roadblocks to dismay
Busy building bridges
Until we're old and gray...
Twisting, turning byways
To keep us on our toes
Eyes to the horizon
How a man's life goes...
