Cracked lips, heels, elbows and smiles
Your dust hurts me deep...

Our elbows collided, 
'cause my desk is wrong-sided.
Made for a lefty, 
When I write
with my right....

Bobby is an amputee
He's got no elbows got no knees
But Bobby moves- to some degree
When Bobby bobs across the sea...

Emotions smolder
Fires burn down to cold coals
Silver shiny glass
Makes for hard brittle mirrors
Fragility breaks elbows...

earthly angels
strolling in the mortal realm
rubbing elbows
with rich and poor alike
inspiring hope within

Monkey Face!
Tilted to the side,
Giggle in the move,
Elbows down!

Never a frown,
Fists tight to the chin.
Monkey face!
Always a grin....

Two brothers named Mischa and Sam
Collided elbows with a bam
Both jumped in the air
Said, “This isn’t fair”
Then switched seats to eat eggs and ham...

The rain has washed away
The sadness of a loss
The sun elbows over the cloud of misery
And colour paint a smear
As a rainbow slowly melts into the earth....

       same as for a birthday cake

     Do your elbows feel good today ~
       that'll seal the deal, the grateful say...

After parking I busted my ass
Cut my elbows and knees on some glass
What was my first thought?
“Quick! Scan the whole lot
To make sure no one saw you, JACKASS”...

Defeated men, seeking solace
Elbows posed on time polished bar  
Staring numbly into empty glass
Eyes gazing dumbly, sadly, humbly
Reliving the unforgiving
Lost  time…long past

Trump Loving and Amiable

Trump does like being available and amiable;
While we know he is willing and will be able;
State of shock;
Terror on block,
Who must keep both elbows off of the table.

On bended elbows in the grass,
I watched a caterpillar slowly pass.

It showed no fear that I was there,
and turned its head toward me to stare.

A brief encounter before it passed.
Two earthlings meet in the grass....

I broke myself on your busy mischief
Impaled my heart in community spaces
Rearranged my timeline and still wait

Now, as ever seeing the carnival tricks
Elbows flash, i'm ready for the quick hit
I will never submit or quit...

I'd like to be dressed 
In stretched clothes that you're wearing like a taming.
I wouldn't try to climb on the fabric,
To climb with elbows on the shoulders.
I would be closer to you
Exploring attire
From the inside ....

mucho akimbo, all elbows and knees,
sudden as summer rain, white as paper,
he falls thorugh doors and windows;

then,

closed like a shop on Sunday,
window eyed, still as a nightbrook,
a dry wheel under clouds; silent...

They dress for theater with gloves up to their elbows
The Roosevelts, Thomases, Rockafellers, and Shelbows.
They wear their glitziest tiaras, while carrying their fans.
On their arms they show off their tuxedo-wearing mans....

She’s completely dressed in black
Elbows are crooked
Leaning down she looks at me
Eyes that are sacred
Her lopsided smile
Tickles me with great delight
A glow from her guile

You make me 
anticipate pleasure;
while you glide
across the floor.
I observe your
elegant contours,
your elbows,
and more…
Your pale eyelids,
marked eyelashes
like a skilful ink stroke.
You glance in my direction-
I return a smile....

Spindly elbows skew 
Laurie rides his rusty steed —
Owl eyes sparkle blue.

Blue-bottomed bees buzz
Through dappled dims, garden green —
Whispered perfume haze.

Twilight windows glow
Wispy wings are glass-dancing —
Gecko chuck chuck goes....

f you wait long enough, things will surely start clicking
Your elbows, your knees and your eyes will start flicking
You'll bump into doors
Trip on things on the floor
But everything's okay as long as ye ole heart keeps on ticking...
