an inkling sick warm,
leaky little crooked mouth 
a glimmer inkling...

scanty, leaky roof
sown shiny pearls in your hair.

childish laughter wrapped in canvas

drops drip
from leaky tap
plonking annoying plunks
that bore holes in your peace, shattered
Must Stop!...

Emotions mounting
Thoughts drop from a leaky pen
A world in a drop
Splashed ink on aging parchment
Letters make words make soft sound...

I ride a leaky newspaper raft
Adrift on the linoleum
Anxiously awaiting an
An attack of smelly
squirming happiness
covered in fuzz:
Puppy love....

She had quite a leaky old bladder,
and a rear end as flat as a platter,
she went to the store,
cant take it anymore,
Depends now makes her rear appear fatter....

There once was a ninja so sneaky
He was often caught having a pee pee
He pretended to stand
With his big weapon in his hand
But the trouble with that, it was leaky....

A lie is like a leaky zeppelin...
patched together with bubble gum breath.
In time it will violently come back to earth.
The earth's heart has a karmic core
thinly wrapped in gravity....

post drizzle-logged
morning trek;
leaky boots
puddle splashed
sodden socks
peeled in a pile
by the door;
coffee's pot's
pungent pull
awaits
post dried off
head and
towelled feet....

A silky satin sash about the box
   Can keep your present's secret for a while
But certain sources, call them 'leaky locks'
   Reveal that which is hidden in your smile

I wish I was a wishing man
above my leaky walls,
rich with coins and desires
and solutions to my woes.
I wish I had the wizards hand
speckled in dust of age,
and I wish I was full
and fulfilling,
but he has not found the right stones....

It's winter again
in little Michigan
The north wind
has grown cold.

Seem to need
brand new boots
These leaky ones
Have old holes.

Those stratus clouds
Prove the truth
With six inches
of new snow.

It's winter again
in little Michigan
GOD bless our
Home Sweet Home....

fumblin poet
can't find her words
long-winded
picture eraser
leaky pens
skeptic readers
negative comments
wishin of a crowd to fit in
delirium in sentences
naturalist in haiku
cute couplet
abstract like a free verse
fumblin poet has many words
which way will they come out?...

Those flurries of small specks
My mother called leaky faucet kisses.
Late sun winks from a power line
Beyond the neighbor's tree.

In heaven, where repetition's not boring-
Silver whistles of blackbirds
Needle the daylong day.
We are still on the air,
Still on the air they say....

Creaking doors
And achy fingers
From not enough use
or maybe
To much?
A leaky faucet
Old and worn out
Twisted and turned
to many times
Bloodshot eyes
That have seen to much
Now a sad pale blue
And never in focus
Shakey hands
That want so much
To turn the knob
And leave through
The creaking door....

far away in the kitchen
the sound can be heard
of my fairies coming out to play
they clatter the plates in the pantry
and splash under the leaky faucet
ecstatic to be unsupervised once more

hiding away in the bedroom 
I lay
my problems tucked in next to me,
they keep me awake.
my sadness sits in my krowka....

Slushy snow has spread
It happened as i slept
In the morn it rained
Turning the snow slush
To walk was easy 
No ice anywhere
As i was walking
Wetness was felt
It spread in my boots
making my feet wet
It was time to shop
For 
 new winter boots
I bought them on sale
Wore them the same day
My feet nice and warm
My feet was happy...

Cold 
In the eyes of the innocent
Mom in the corner trying to breathe
Ribs cracked
Lots of screams
Save me from this awe full dream

Leaky sealing’s 
Broken Tiles
Shattered glass 
A run down mess
Broken home
And empty homes

Facing evil
Getting older
Where does their life go
When they waste it alone 
Going on the street
Getting colder...

Adrift

I found myself adrift
alone out on the sea
a leaky boat
no overcoat
and very little brie

The tide began to shift
great waves engulfing me
they pulled me down
without a sound
and I could not swim free

But low there was a rift--
a crack in time--to be
a way to win
and to begin
returning from the sea...

Colonel Flighty is a cad
Thinks himself a funny wag
Thinks he's mighty, ain't that sad
"Look at me! A strutting stag!"

Jiggly belly, jowls that sag
Throat all phlegmy, such a drag
Trousers smelly, makes you gag
Leaky colostomy bag.

Toss him quickly drown a crag
If he lives we'll be so mad
End his sickly feeble brag
Hear his fading shout, "Egad!"...

Tattered Grey -
  It bends against an unkind wind;
  An ugly thing so commonplace,
    Against a  leaky corner.
A thing so grand has never been
  So thin -
And yet it hangs;
Against the heavens weathered attempts
   To prove it wrong.
      It lasts so long -
Holds tightly, oh so tightly;
   Not squandering it’s mighty will -
 Duct tape on a windowsill....
