So unsteady and unsure
Much like my MS....

recently in love, her hands

past her poor fate

It's not too late

draught horse tripped on clod
so sure of gait and big hooves
looked for a scapegoat...

Steps help move up or down
Spoil not cham with a frown;
Gait, speech reveal class
Pace, pause reflect class....

Canyon darkness
mocks the uneven gait
a stoic wind mimicking
the shuffle-drag
of combats scars.

The gait, a step slower
  Ambitions, now lowered

Yet the heart is still spry ~
  Proud voice, shakes the skies...

Regret life’s wrong steps.
Oh, that I could someday fly
over millions more.

with slow, stilted gait
neck bent and eyes fixed downward…

such a tiny frame, and he. . . 
with so little speed

The diva
In her disillusioned state
With her idiotic gait
She was venomous to all
Oozing arrogance, spitting gall.

twenty-four to half-past eight makes pivotal mime....

The horse that dares 
to jump the fence, 
with gallant gait and stride;

will be the horse, 
to enjoy the spoils 
that await on the other side....

her left, his right

stymied-knees in between

cross the starting line

with a tricky gait

Wee young butterfly
   Graceful on your blade to graze
      Harbinger of wings.

my gait went haywire and I was thrown,
while I was stumbling sideways,
police thought I'm in a haze...
"Honest officer, there's no homegrown!"...

The path is shady
    the gait, shaky
  Destination known
    elicits a moan

  Tried to turn back
    behind me all black 
  The only way, forward
    to the vast sea, shoreward...

The stooped gait
   the squinting eye
A curmudgeon sure
   personified...

Yet when from parted lips
  his timeless treasures poured
The very Founts of Wisdom
  yearned for even more...

Like fossils deeply implanted
Molded forever in time
Seared with years of living
Piercing creeping thoughts
Tripping over feelings
No perfect gait outlined
Like silhouette on the mind....

Andy's crib was so small
For a gait or a crawl
Boos and tantrum
brought busy mum
Oh this was a catcall.

eyes almost hidden under heavy brows white; 
stout and laborious of gait,
he came slowly by mid night…
bloody, could this man be “The Joker”. No fist!...
