Short Grapple Poems

I breathe in ardor!
I grapple in passion!
...but of this whim called….love?
I am unacquainted...

You have to grapple
To eat a Toffee Apple
They are a Toffee treat
And even stickier to eat
Unless you are a jackal...

Michelangelo was an absolute genius
Before the word genius was even dreamed of
The Sistine Chapel 
Hard to grapple
Not conceived even with today's greatness...

Valley's hidden jewel so rare.
Green hills, trees of oak and clean air.
Neophytes loved priests who gave care.
Saved the chapel.
Hated soldiers killing most there.
After grapple....

God's rule- Adam chose not to grapple

when Eve made him bite that Red Apple;

doubted life outside Eden would suck!

Well, it did! Now we all remain stuck!

Grapple with it,
lest it slips,
dont let it go,
lest it slips,
stick to it,
lest it slips,
get inside it,
lest it slips,
yes,honesty,
it is that I am talking about,
don't let that slip....

Though not meant to offend,
I simply won’t pretend
you are the Adam’s apple
of my eye.

That stubble and those hands
may pass on OnlyFans,
but quick’s the brain to grapple:
that’s a guy.

JERSEY ROCKS

Jersey rocks
Blue blazes
Docker jocks
Tackle and blocks
Hooks grapple
Around the clock

Scoffing bodies ripple easy
Power
Hardhats safeguard
Secret hearts

Foreign toughs
      Eye
Liberty's muscles...

enduring 
          texture&tones
cleave
grapple
      & scatter  upon
the canvas-
fluid
 perspectives
create 
       atmosperic
flights of fancy..
enthuse,spawn
then trespass within-
lavishing loving

Wrestling in heaven,
  two Archangels beset

An arm bar on hell,
  to the devils regret

Scepters now grapple,
  as eternity waits

One rule to pin down,
—a reckoning at stake

An ox can pull a weighted cart daily.
With mirrored force, I grapple to lift my right leg.
A toddler wobbles in his first steps,
but struggling, we inevitably became able to walk.
Hugging the wall, like a child in the deep pool, I rise up....

I grapple with an apple.
As they are hard to bite
A pear I can manage
If the pear is ripe
I reach for a peach
The juice makes me dribble
I don't eat ugli fruit
This statement's trivial
Bananas are soft
As soft as can be
It looks like the banana
Is the fruit for me...

No Hypocrisy, No Cant


The lioness is wont
to practice no

hypocrisy, no cant.
The lioness

will topple her objective,
grapple with it till

all palpitation
finally is still.

The lioness then laps,
completely dry,

what unavoidably
may spill.

Lips of Roses
Caress candy coated
Strawberries.

As tongues tickle,
As they grapple;
For the upper hand 
In this sweet battle.

My hand are busy,
Oh so busy 
Popping your bubble.
And getting inside.

So let your thoughts go
And wrain in your feelings.
Lets step onto this ride,
Together....

King saw the universe in  condom
                                   Big bangs and big crunches at random
                                                       A.P.P.L.E

Atrocious sights ....
Ruptured INNER GLASS
Filled eyes with tears.

Nature’s cry….
Snow beads started wetting cheeks.	

Clouds of scorning started 
Rising from within ……to grapple with,
 I tried to float on my own goodness.
Then little warmth started crawling 
Between frozen thoughts.

Then it melted away…...

Glimpse gain
Pace pain


Love laughs
Stern stuff


Quaint quest
Zoom zest


Word well
True tell


Now note
Voice vote


Meet maze
Craft craze


Taste truth
Prize proof


Spice sweet
Mull meet


Last light
Nude night


Pluck poise
Calm choice

Lobsters packed in eighteen-wheelers
grapple with their feelings.
A mass custody of shrimps
spoon together
still pink with passion.
Crabs cross-dress
bound more-or-less
to nips of salty resentment.
A soupçon of sea bugs
dished up
on bright porcelain plates.
Fresh alien captives
worth more alive than dead
until we break bread....

Fred’s internet date looked so hot
A woman - she surely was not
Fred’s poor brain had to grapple
‘she’s’ got an Adams’ apple
In toilets did she stand or squat?

Fred’s blind date she needed the loo
The ladies loo had a long queue
It came as no surprise
‘She’ went into the guys
And out of the front door Fred flew!

Every day I grapple with sin
Ts the power of flesh within 
Each time I stand; I stand in faith 
...Ts the work of the spirit within  

Good and evil tussle 
My mind is the battle field 
Like myself I won't yield 
Heaven and hades struggle  

Every day I grapple with sin 
Now I am new born 
Twas the flesh within 
... At the cross my grief's  borne !...

This poem insists on hiding;
It’s resisting being found,
Despite the fact it knows full well
To daily verse I’m bound.

It’s teasing and it’s taunting
Staying just beyond my grasp.
I grapple with it but the words
Just vanish from my clasp.

I’m indebted to my pencil
For it’s managed to corral
This rambunctious little bugger,
Which has lifted my morale....

When I saw Bill’s bride in the chapel
I’m shocked to see ‘her’ Adam’s apple
Bill is beaming with pride
At his internet bride
With this chick you’d not want to grapple!



Bill marries this gal called Ludmilla
Her figure looks like a gorilla
It is so clear to see
‘She’s’ had some surgery
I’d term her the bride of Godzilla

CATS

The house is a rumble with cat yowls and howls. 
They sharpen their claws, and duel with their paws.
They roll and tumble and make the dog grumble. 
Steal what they shouldn't, 
try high jumps they couldn't. 
Use grapple hooks to climb my legs, 
leaving bloody trails behind their tails.  
Then they sleep and look so sweet,
Until they wake; more stuff to break....
