Flunked Maths

I have been considering calculations 
haphazardly apparently. 

The price paid for a fraction of work....

the roundup of stuffed animals
with sad eyes, no pout, no tears
tossed together haphazardly 
adults drink as child disappears

Like returning to a place in a dream:

sound of one hand clapping:

the mottled butterfly haphazardly flits

into the welcoming Light of day....

Haphazardly positioned across
antique wood old as the country
Paid in freedom, liberty redeems
Size matters depth of character
Seen in your sole....

Not a typo!!...

Feet glued to your welcome mat,
our fingers meshed like Velcro
and pieces of our shattered hearts
haphazardly taped together;
my tears and your fidgeting
weaken the adhesive,
yet, we do not—
can not—
move....

Horribly, heartlessly horrifying hearty healthy hookworms hasten to 
heat up Henry’s hamburger haven. Here within, harmoniously and happily harbored and headquartered in Henry’s haphazardly helter-skelter heroic stomach....

She rode unsaddled on the mighty horse.
Her hazel hair flew haphazardly and coarse.
They crossed the rippling river, laughing with flair.
They rode to the ranch, her husband waited there.
Yet she needed his love and climbed quickly upstairs.

If only I could be, 
wiser,
to chaos,
before it catches wind,
& takes me with it's tides. 
As an aside... 
would you be so kind,
as to send out a searchlight,
for it appears I have delved, 
haphazardly,
into the deepest ends
of my turbid, little mind.

I'm sorry I'm not sorry,
nor drowning with regret;
you're not my worry, you see this surely!
I'm more likely to forget
the significance of your insignificance,
like a shark would mind a flea;
or a raindrop to a mountain top
that fell haphazardly.

Hutzpah

Helpless humanity

Heralds sorrowful hell

Hector heaps rebellion

Henceforth his chariot

Hijacked beaten hackneyed 

Haphazardly harbours

Hopeful hutzpah no more

Wild, ecstatic, frivolous roses,
Haphazardly draping in staccato pink
The grassy embankment.
Bubbling, gleeful, like so many corsages
On fresh-faced girls at a
High school prom.
Cheerful, radiant, intricate charms,
Proffering subliminal messages
Of joy and hope rekindled....

slippery leaves lie
on the steepness of the yard
haphazardly on the road

autumn spokes in air
the travesty of cancer
shedding of the lovely oaks

ALIVE

An un injuries never die, they have to try
Becoming alive, they are in death of mind
They see blood, shading their white clothes
They call help, imputing haphazardly cry
It is the ego trip, selfishness.

Stand like a tree,
Walk like earthquake,
You have no one from your own...

Silky
turquoise blue veil
flowing with ruffles and
rolling with pleats as it's tucked in
golden
border
embellished with 
sparkling silver sequins.
Chunks of dark gems haphazardly
adorned.

Dragging our lobster claw 
haphazardly across rows of ivory song
scratching both beautiful and hideous notes 
throughout our lives-somehow we stay afloat-

Racing the foaming mouth of death
polishing up melodies of opaque regrets...
High tide swallowing a lobster claw
and a grand piano bench....

every storm hits steady
in front of a primeval window
I unwrap a slight sigh
when she views the landscape

rain burst by rippling wind
haphazardly blown labyrinth
still in a random wind

in the mirror, she catches
darkness unfolds

she liked the sense

The world can be filled with such uncertainty
people of all nations,facing disconcertingly

Roads which are traveled has shown a troubled past
the same path toward the future less encouraging aghast

Haphazardly stepping into hazardous clime's...for me,
I'm just doing my Good time.....in the Mean time........

The bearded lady comfortably sprawled

on several coats and blankets left

haphazardly to where she'd crawled.

Then looking right at me with

utter nonchalance, she

sat and sat and sat. . .

with small goatee

so fluffy.

What a

CAT!

Handsome Hardy Hal haphazardly hung horrid hearts on healthy hedge
Impossible? Impractical? Improbable? Too near the ledge?
Justifiably joyful, joked Jerry’s jolly jubilant jonquils, gyrating
Kansas kittens carried kaleidoscopic kits that clung to the ledge
Legitimizing lovely lively lilies laying in lovable lulls near the hedge

Hanging to his dwindling sanity
he haphazardly weaves a net
of confused and conflicting emotions.
Weakened by pangs of futility
the strained fine thread snaps...

Identifying bodies
On a show like C.S.I.,
On scars and beauty marks
Or dental fillings did rely.

Our bodies, every one unique,
Have freckles, dots and lines,
Arranged haphazardly in ways
That DNA designs.

Though nowadays the morgue has
More at hand from which to choose,
For it must be much easier
To track down one’s tattoos....
