Jinxed

He swallowed vanity whole,
spit up rhododendrons,
gasped at greasepaint fingerprints—
his own—
finally saw himself:
Clown.

Notre Dame erupted in fire
Ghosts gasped in the funeral pyre
For the Devil's horns
Are the Crown of Thorns
Held fast by an angelic choir

Reflection

I gasped aloud at my reflection
When I glanced in the mirror a minute
I wondered about a crack that appeared
Was it the shout or image that did it?

Leftovers

O circus, circus 
the ox and his Fergus. 
The whale took a bite of the moon. 
The carnivore gasped to see that chomp.
And the pig civilized the baboon.

Crocodile

There was an old man from Carlisle
    Who went for a swim in the Nile.
    He soon gasped with despair
    When he came up for air.
    He's now just a crocodile's smile.

Head Dunk

Fred had a huge sore appear on his head
Feeling itchy, he scratched until it bled
He risked looking like a fool
And dunked his head in the pool
Then gasped at the huge tick floating he shed

Sammy the Spy

He seemed quite shy
did Sammy the Spy
Yet his reticence masked
a mind calculating, sly

When but a wee lad
Sammy uncovered the facts of life --
Picking his folks' bedroom lock 
He gawked, then gasped, 'Oh, my!'

Once Upon a Pond

Floating, once upon a pond
He caught a fish by light of dawn
A fish so big he gasped in awe.
As he gazed into her gaping maw
But he saw by her belly, she was yet to spawn
So he threw her back in, and told her "be gone"

Polly the Prude - Rude

A trio of guys in the nude
encountered old Polly the Prude;
they gasped as she tried
to drag them inside,
while shouting, 'I want to be screwed.'

Gulp

a glimpse of heaven
   a taste of hell
 that's what he perceived
   at death's dreaded knell

 summoned to court
   he gasped hard when he saw
 the judge and the jurors 
   his wife and kids ~
           his maw and paw

Time 'Twill Mend

The long red line, ma'am, atop your hand
   a mere scratch, sir, time 'twill mend

That growth all swollen on your neck
   just a wart, infected a speck

O! you gasped and clutched your heart!
   ~ bled once, 'tis torment to restart

Even Then

As I write I am reminded of my faults, the numerous times I fell by my hand. Yet, even while I bled, I dreamt of my best. Even while I gasped for breath, I dreamt of my next. Even while I lost the will to be, I dreamt of a smile, her smile.

Joke Is On Him

Our Heart

It all started in,
That age.
Where our parents raised,
I do have him met,
That night but you won't
Remembered it Right.

It was pure but Fragile,
It was hard but defendless,
Nothin' seemed to gasped it,
But it did and keep you still.

Wedding Tradition

Wedding tradition of carrying the bride over the threshold

He wheezed and gasped, his body bathed in sweat,
Remembered months of training at the gym -
And strained again, he wasn’t beaten yet...
She eyed the threshold, sighed - and carried him!

Crossing Over

I can feel my dreams collapse
into a single vibrant image--neural blast--
brief synapse--

of you, above,
as I now exhale my life’s last
true love.

My death,
a final gasped
breath--

I can feel my dreams collapse
as I now exhale my life’s last
breath.

What Do You Want To Be

The first-grade girls were in a pattern.
What do you want to be?
A princess
A princess
A unicorn princess
A faerie princess
A pony princess.
Then they reached my child.
A witch, she said.
I will eat princess and chop unicorns in half.
The princesses gasped.

When We Were Titans

once upon a time
 we laughed 

clutched hands
 and loved shamelessly
 fearlessly protective
 when her back was turned
 
I caught every arrow
 dodged every snare
 swallowed every poison
 until I gasped for breath
 
reaching for a hand
 that is no longer there 

once we were Titans
