her cold crimson corpse
into the heart that loved him . . .
he now twists the knife

Ice on the fence wire …
insult to injury
The barb when it’s deadly
pointed and sharp
A night rain has frozen
and hidden the danger
Awaiting intruders
—that come in the dark
(Dreamsleep: November, 2023)
I wound myself
Blood dripping
From tears
I cannot control
Misfortune falls
Upon my every step
Crashing to my knees
Now shattered
Limp arms
Grasping for a hand
Too scared
To save a life
Fearful of all
Desiring rest
Just death
Eternal peace
A horde of thoughts and Revelations,
All which beg to be perceived
Return my Woe and devastation-
Give back to me the need to grieve!
In Youth had found true elation,
A childhood I'd never leave
For Life is lived in desperation
(If that Truth is to be believed)
J-ust paint the wound with care
U-ntil the heartaches end;
N-ever rub salt into the cut, it's not too late to mend.
P-aint the wound with care,
A-s you reform the damage;
N-ever add insult to injury,
U-nderstand the pain's message.
G-ash February seventeenth is just due for repair;
A-llow your hands of concern to paint the wound with care.
a penny saved is a penny earned
adding insult to injury, her love was spurned
afraid of his own shadow and against all odds
airing his dirty laundry happened to both Todds
the all mighty dollar earned by a chip off the old block
all talk no action and an axe to grind, said Mrs. McLock
barking up the wrong tree was a little dog too
quiet as a mouse was my mean Aunt Louise Sue.
You're a horse with an idiot paint job,
all zig-zaggy blacketty-white
you stand out when you're in a snowdrift
and can't even hide in the night.
Outrunning a Cheetah you canna
not graceful like any Gazelle
for living out on the Savanna
your life must be probably hell.
I once tried your flesh on Safari
at a camp where we had barbecue
so to add insult to injury
ugly Warthog tastes better than you.
