Clawed wings, blue cheeks,
Rufous crest, maroon eyes
Gawky gait, baffling diet, odd
Bird stinks*
*Hoatzin bird

There once was a girl from Milwaukee,
Who was terribly thin, even gawky,
Her brother, called Pat,
Was exceedingly fat,
So she always addressed him as "Porky"!!

Limerick
Leaves have fallen down
Making colorful bed
Children hide and seek
Parents came with rake
Took the leafs away
Trees stand gawky
Bare to the bones
No leaf for dress
Not intended
Season new
Welcome change
Birdies flew
From nest
Empty
cold

Diminished Hexaverse
Morty’s feet were as graceful as a gawky giraffe on ice.
He asked Morgan McMillon to the dance, not one time, but thrice.
She could not refuse him a fourth time, for it would not seem nice.
They are married now and have sixteen children, so she’s paid the price.

Unique
Elite swimmer
brown, tailless, Pied-billed Grebes
can float, dive or simply submerge
graceful
dark eyes
cinnamon tone
heard but not often seen
rear end feet, lobed toes, poor flier
gawky
small bird
solitary
widespread, but rarely seen
dramatic silent crash-diver
decent
patient
near to nest bowl
I hide in marsh water
to capture still clear reflection
I wait

Exchanging cloddish giggles
Gawky, flailing limbs
Quota, reaching, nibbles
Cloth to dot our chins
Predictable mindless chatter
We must appear intrigued
An opening to flatter
Allows a moment of relief
And during this scenario
Our hearts will both, descend
At the transition of the , stereo
Subject ends, til next begins
Once the fresh tape rolls
Our joy just won’t be tamed
It may not feed our souls
But sets aside our shame

Rhyme
Lance-Lot
by Michael R. Burch
Preposterous bird!
Inelegant! Absurd!
Until the great & mighty heron
brandishes his fearsome sword.

Couplet
An awkward chuckle
Escapes my lips
White knuckles
Teeth grit
I don’t poke fun
Or humiliate
I get your pun
It isn’t great
I bear the burden
Of your ego
My introversion
Takes the blow
The problem is
You’re not clever
As lame as it is
I must endeavor
Feeling abashed
And quite dumbfounded
I chose to stash
How bad you sounded
I lose the grace
I had before
To save your face
I shake my core
Asymmetrical
Gawky, inept
Your spectacle
My debt

Rhyme
no one wanted this unusual canary
I related totally
no one wanted me either
I will take that one, I told the shop keeper
That one!
He was incredulous.
I said that one, I said, nodding.
The tall gawky weird-looking one?
I glared at the guy, who popped him into a sack.
Everyone at my house laughed at me.
As usual
Called me names, as usual
the gangly awkward canary and I became close
understanding what it feels like
when you are rejected by those you want to love the most
