To arms, to wit, with repartee!
The barbs and jabs in fun and play
We never fear et tu, Brute,
for Gershon's verse makes bright the day!
I went to the doctor with crabs
He gave me 380 jabs
To preserve your manly
Stay away from the fanny
Or your bits will be nothing but scabs
A Carolina Wren
jabs and weaves
hopping in and out
of a ring of sunlight,
it has pugnacity,
but the cat creeping near
does not care.
Thrill to the frenzy, the passion
slender bow jabs the air
fingers race along submissive neck
face dances to the love
of the precious instrument
A lot ado
over head to toe tattoo.
The Great Omi
Sensitive as a zombie
endured 15 million needle stabs
to get his fill of verbal jabs.

Extended legs and neck
Eager jabs, peck peck peck
Endemic down under
Eggs many in number
Evades you by running
Excited voice drumming
Echoes of an ostrich
Jaunty little fellow,
Joker for kings and queens.
Jolly bells on hat, shoes,
Jingle with his movements:
Jumping, dancing, bowing.
Jabs fun at all he can,
Jovial trickster man.
A Carolina Wren
bobs and weaves
inside a ring of sunlight.
It is shadow boxing,
but there are no shadows
yet it still jabs and moves.
A boxer
fights the shadow of himself.
Nagging pain invades my eye; the aura lasts for weeks.
Stabbing, searing hot poker jabs into my brain; branding my eye.
Migraine owns me now; there are no drugs to relieve my agony.
Its flu jab season again
But I always give them a pass
I self medicate with alcohol
It really is first class
So just say to the doc
When he starts to tut
That a shot in your glass
Is better than one in the butt
Form:
Jollity lifts spirits.
Joshing’s great. Let’s hear it!
Jocose friends who, with wit,
jazz things up are a hit!
Jabs can be unnerving;
jibes can be self-serving.
Jesting must be gentle.

Jeer, farcical cheer
Jive, cheer to sneer
Jest, barb to test
Pun, jest for fun
Joke, fun to poke
Jab, poke to grab
Joust, jabs that roust
Jibe, taunting vibe
Josh, vibe to squash
Jolt, tingling volt
Jaunt, volting flaunt
Out the door
is a vicious game
a process
battle of spite
tug of war
circus of irritation
where nobody loses
no one wins
a bloody senseless draw
no referee
only stiff jabs
right crosses
haymakers
countered by blow
after blow
low...
Jingle Joy jealously judges Jolly Jump up
Jolly judiciously jangles Jingle Joy’s jabs
Jalopy Jim jubilantly jiggles Jingle Joy’s jeep
Jolly Jump up juggles Jolly Jump Up’s jingle jangles
Jaundiced Jabberwocky jangles Jingle Joy’s jalopy.
Machete jabs
cycle through a staccato lied.
The music is Jurassic,
a tune rattled in the throat
of a feathered lizard.
It pecks out the genetic code
of jackhammers.
Stabs eardrums deep,
a primal stirring
of blood and sap.
The forest echoes
as time hammers on.
Fire talks to the dark:
Tells it of light—
While touching up covered walls;
Scattering the core lies,
Let it all burn.
In its pitch, open fingers grasp
For passion. Heated jabs ignite
A flame— leaving behind the pain.
Embers swell to be only used—
(Warming you)
Then fade— out of the maker's
Hoarse end.
There's no green shoots
to our romance
she liked Numan
I liked Howe
I feel alone now
when she planned to
leave the sit so aptly
All she had our meeting down to
was a chat
when I gave my best
of poetry and photography
and music
You were not as deep
as you made out
despite being a coordinator for Covid jabs
Sitting on the park bench
The boy watches geese
Ever so carefully
As though he wants
To be one of them.
Is one of them
At least for the moment.
They swim across the pond
Happily.
Not a care in the world
And with friends.
The boy turns away.
Starts crying
Uncontrollably.
The wind jabs me in my gut.
I admit.
I am still that boy.
Republicans
Trump and Rubio
Guys vie.
Jabs fly;
Low blows--
Crap flows.
So mean
Bad scene!
Hate's why
I sigh.
Ted Cruz
Ted's views,
Good news?
My Feelings
U.S.--
God bless!
Vote's nigh.
I sigh!

Errant steals,
like globular e-mocking,
stark Jabs in test,
wave's of sustainment globally casting flesh aside,
wantoness stops as
tubular horns row them all away...
Nickled as jells in the jangles,
wobbie in a talk in a mangle-
flippin' at it's angle',
crunch crockie crangle,
the bottle on a walk,
like a Laker in a stock.
Bird-song returns from the lingering dead.
A Carolina Wren jabs and hops
inside a miniscule ring of pale sunlight.
In the back of a cold season
the wind dresses a scarecrow
with spiny feathers.
Ice scabs scratch sod and mulch.
One inaugural leaf
invites a green legend
but it will be weeks before
chill cavities
fill to blood heat.

Starting Anew
Silhouette ... framed sources,
pirouette ... beams courses.
Our sun stabs, some slept sky,
as rays jabs, blue clouds wry.
All-round us, trading prompts,
dawns a plus, new day romps.

~~Joseph May: Judged 2021 August 27
never followed a course
my life could have been worse
received sarcastic jabs
and rode plenty of cabs
called many names
and played some games
when all is said and done
and my life's almost gone
judge my actions
no distractions
my heart was always pure
though my faith wasn't sure
evil and good
my neighborhood
What's waiting after death?
I won't fear final breath
a wasp jabs its sting
deep into my derriere
a butt load of itch...
too embarrassing to scratch
much too itchy to ignore
buzzing mosquitos
partial to my fast-food face
fly in for a bite...
landing ever so lightly
risking the chance of a slap
blackfly bites become
so incredibly itchy
my nails get worn down...
scratching bumps until they bleed
it is driving me crazy
by Dawne Zacharias
When we think all is lost
you've done everything to thwart the jabs of hopelessness
Suicide appears,
Answers are never found on this level
Get out! Right now, and away from it, raise your sights
And when you do, ask God if it is really you
the darkness will dispell, His joy will surround
a brightness of hope will be found.
One step then another, we are going on this
journey together.
