Rock Bottom

Loaded blue-eyed woman
On the blood wheel
Three-legged train grinds
Mindlessly delicious cuts
Sweat gently littering the floor

There once was a three-legged dog
who thought he was a bullfrog
instead of a nap or a nip
he preferred a wet kiss
then had his way with a log

Folks in special garbs
cross legged on the floor
Striving to keep minds

Premium Member Pick a Six

Snowflakes are hexagonal
As are honeycomb cells
Insects are 6-legged
A die cast has 6 faces
The 6 degrees of separation
Connects us all to our 6

A one-legged lad from Maverick
Spent years rehearsing his rhetoric
This aesthetic athletic
Proved profoundly poetic
His lyrical soup wins plethoric

Premium Member Paparazzi In the Garden

worries far above
        the coneflower canopy —
             cameras whizz by
with two-legged mammals
 searching for faerie wings

Premium Member Magical Existence

We’re just two legged creatures,
Born on a rock.
Floating and spinning in space.
If that isn’t magical,
I don’t know what is.

Collecting all manner of things,
From battered old derbies to rings,

It stayed on his mind,
A three-legged scarecrow that sings.

cross-legged in the garden

under the sky's vast length, breadth.

Sighing Mannequin

Oh, once again!  A cry!
Two-legged creatures 
Making love under sheets
and that last sigh!

A mannequin releasing
its last plastic breath!

Flamingo 


Twiggy-legged pink flamingo walks in stride
Spreads wings and flies above ground
Eats shrimp, retains its hue

Heartroom

a giddy wainscot, a torn curtain
that big flowered raises the dust;
you left stern-legged this place

and left me at a broken window,
so please do not turn around

Element Earth

It is the home
to all two-legged, four-legged,
scaly, and crawlers.

It is the only element
where water, fire
and air assemble,
creating the rhythm
of life....

Haikuesque

Haikuesque No. 22


red tailed hawk
suspended
suddenly
swoops setting sun

Haikuesque No. 23

one legged,
heron meditates
gulps
river moon
rising

a one-legged pigeon
hopping tiles in the depot
freezes where shadows remain

working twice as hard for less
—most commuters know that score

Premium Member No Moral Support

An enterprising young boy from Memphis
Made it his goal to climb Mount Olympus
Short-legged in stock
He fancied a smock
And he couldn't round up a consensus.
