intoxicated by ache. 
Led by erratic heartbeat
knotty pheromones excrete....

I'm knotty but most times im nice
freeze up when i witness the price
of being a king
my word is my sling
so before you test me.. think twice...

the pair stood together by a warm hearth
strong andirons of wrought steel

shared log, a charred remnant

Well limericks are supposed to be naughty
Though sometimes I try to be haughty
Must play by the rules
Maybe talk about tools
And surfaces that are holey and knotty...

An heart is a handy thing to have
except when its not -
Hands are of course handy as a glove
Except for ties that knot.

                       problems
                  knotty, stressful
       resolving, tackling, diagnosing
conundrums, complexities, result, ideas
     proposing, brainstorming, solving
                      solutions

Unmoving, sweltering, its evening falls,
Unrolling slowly a knotty unbleached cotton pall,
Turns unceremoniously and exits - 
      the day ending eight years,
Eliott's[1] sends a breeze, a silent scene ends call.

Rolling in
Meadows in her hair
A tango mass of
Butterflies
And what knots

Roped in

Tongue tied

With a pollen smeared smile
Smack smitten by every cinch

Pop out one stands more than another
mini planet on center-tree
rapped bark out
and splayed with knotty nuisances
falling arms raising drops of 
golden brown if lucky
green if true
and if I, alive in breathing
share this experience may....

Porky dorky was a good cook
                                Cooked the ham for a scary spook
                                       The spook was knotty
                                          Asked for a potty
                                   Dorky missed his gobbledygook...

the sky is crystal blue
Lake Michigan the same
down the Eagle flew
to catch his game

he dropped his fish dinner 
upon the riverbank
sea gulls flocked near the winner
for any scrap he did not take

as we gort a closer look
he was spooked and flew away
he perched upon the knotty Jackpine 
and watched us play

Is my life getting knotty! 
Which was once simple and fun! 
Love came like blue ocean-waves, 
lapping on my heart! 

When your thoughts aglow in mind,
Shine...flicker of a moment,
Hundreds of bright sunflowers
Blossom in my dream!

I utter a gasp...oh no!
My heart was never missing, 
I left it in a safe place, 
With you, for ever!...

Razzle dazzle me with kisses 
face to face we cannot miss 
bye and bye the world erases 
two by two, we win the race 
Toddy Toddy tie the knotty  
Your a sizzlin' hottie hottie 
Pitter patter goes my heart  
With a bling bling a la carte 
Yum yum  your so tasty 
Hanky panky no not hasty
Razzle dazzle me with kisses 
face to face we cannot miss ....

Crone arrived masked as crescent moon.
We knew her by her star cape and her attitude.
I was wearing a warring pirate ship as a skirt.
The day was ripe for all kinds of shenanigans.

A trumpeter arrived to announce the next eclipse.
It’s one of those knottsy-tottsy-rottsy days.
I put on my star gazing hat, and tried to look average.
Difficult for someone as creative as me....

A naughty knight, his maiden sought,
Had high hopes they might tie the knot.
And though they ought, or so he thought,
’Twas all for naught, disaster-fraught,
Forgot how tied her nightie knots.
She, humored not, said Gute Nacht!

Two best friend gnomes, Scotty and Knotty 
Went to Florida, and were pretty naughty.
Their girlfriends found out and acted haughty
Their names were Marilda TeeHee and Dotty.

We can drink if we want, Scotty said on the phone.
Knotty kept his mouth shut, for he wanted to bone.
When he got home of course, he said on the phone.
No chance of that Dotty replied, unless you do it alone....

Wisteria winding along its trunk,
weaving a way to the sun —
squinting with anticipation.

The tree wrapped tight —
squeezed with a wisteria boa.
His only escape is to embrace the sun.

Onlookers comment at the beauty of
his arthritic knuckles and knotty trunk.

The ancient tree barely breathes,
as gathering kith and kin think him wise,

before he turns to dust.

I am lost in a tangled wood
Reaching for a rope like thread
Two fingers balancing
One, two, three….
Like ballerina legs
Gliding along the tendril floor
Inching forward, halted
By a knotty carrefour

The dense foliage
Throwing shadows around the cracks
Guiding God’s fingers
Illuminating the furcate tracks
A judgment, God or Heart…
Trust or regret…
One path forward
One path back...

A ten-foot-high sunflower man
with a gold-capped tooth in his mouth but
there ain't no plan
yet he wears the same old knotty 
dreadlocks again and again
While walking himself through 
Black Folk's yard in that bebop-style
no doubt along the avenue road
while smoking some of that sweet sweet Gunga
Yet, him so full of himself
rasta man young rapper
you rapscallion, did you bring the juice...

Darkness fulfils me,
Like an angry cloud, 
Succumbs the sky,
Capturing any glimpse of light. 

Knotty breath,
As wind against a rock,
Gently caresses the surface,
Barely enough to endure, 
Life's ever existence.

Serenity flares, 
Like an eternal flame,
Longing to shatter,
And sharpen the senses,
Imprison your words. 

Empty spoilt hole,
Yearning desire,
A warm embrace,
Resuscitation....
