Short Limber Poems

The juices are flowing
   My limbs, they be limber
When it's Spring for a day
   Hail the weatherman's timber...

slender, graceful, limber limbs
swaying gently with the wind
slight of frame, strong of root
softly bending down to shade...

           Bam 

            into 
       the limber

 he plow'd his wedge

Long lean limber. sultry, slender,
Pretty pout, neat nails, great grin.
Fatal flaw?
Incredibly clumsy, elbow bumpy,
Tripped twice, shiner. Shucks, chagrin....

Limber Dick knew a neat little trick
He would tie his long nose to his dick
   But when he did sneeze
   Created a breeze
Then his nose to his dick wouldn't stick...

lanky lean lithe limber lollygagging Leo loved a little lampoonery
loving lasting laughter, leisurely learning lemonade lessons
lickety split, laundering little leagues of lithographs in lime...

Yoga positions
pretzel launching pad, painful
crowd wilts from fitness

senior endurance
festiness charges living
folks uncurl, relieved

there finer limber choice
beg of me,
dig deeper near
man of full force
loud and clear...,
chase back your dream
another fat lady scream
choicer to fire
blown up in hidden dersire
an empire...

     Statues, iconoclasts love to destroy
     Toppling monuments brings them great joy
        Keeps them all limber
        As they shout ‘Timber’
      Columbus crashed down saying ~ ‘Land ahoy’

Bring your alibis on board
Your defense is death
And your life is limber 
Time terminates your time here
As the earth swallows you up
In your shallow grave
I’m digging for dirt
To place over your concocted coffin...

Lyric

Life’s longing to sing out -
Lovely or lamenting,
Lively in lusty breaths,
Liberates lonely hearts,
Librettos live in love,
Limber lines of stage light
Lyrical luxury.

Mary Jo's from the country, a real backwoods lass
Chops wood like a lumberjack they're not in her class 
When Tot yells timber
You'd better be limber
Better run, don't stand there like a silly old ass

Are weddings only for the young
   Dancing up a storm
Limber in sleek outfits
   Graceful in their form

Older folks gaze wistfully
   Perchance they are quite jealous
Recalling bygone celebrations
   Sealed in tears they will not tell us......

Green!
Alive
on tall grass,
blithe, lithe, limber,
swaying long and lean
in their beachy masses.
The deadpan sand eavesdrops as
breezes wave blades like silk banners.
Whispers whir with emerald voices;
long-winded grass gossiping with zephyrs....

There once was a girl named Theresa.
She looked like the Mona Lisa.
She didn't fight it.
Because she resided
In the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

There was a girl named Theresa.
She thought she had amnesia.
She couldn't remember 
Why she was so limber.
She had taken too much anesthesia.

Listen to poem:

Love is buoyant, bobbing and bopping.
Love is lolling, limber and lithe.
Love is exuberant, effusive and effervescent.
Love it sparkles, shimmers and scintillates.
Love is capricious, unwitting, unintended.
Love is deliciously unfathomable.
Above all else, 
Love is what you want it to be....

The echo smitten...

From distant shore...
hollowed sand...

limber your crash...

Tip ocean sea bed...

curl your path free...

Withheld echo...

The echo smitten...

Waves staggered like staircases...

Roar through coaster tube... 

The echo smitten...

Limber your crash...

Tip ocean sea bed......

Cats be limber
Cats be quick
Cats climb up a carpet stick

Dog’s lay around
Dogs bark all the time
Dogs do not climb carpet sticks

Fish swim around and around and around

Birds are the best you let them go 
Never to be seen again
No cleaning or feeding ever again

Which one should I choose?...

Your long term plans, I have not seen ‘em.  
And all those love vows, you don't mean ‘em.  
You have only got eyes 
for my long limber thighs, 
and that small bit that lies between ‘em.  


                                                                 09/26/11

Hangin' in there is all that I can do
My owner has trapped me, stuck me on a peg
All I was doin' was fun to ensue
Running as fast as I could on my limber leg
Right now I really don't like my owner Meg

If I could pen a bawdy Lim, I would
  About Sally, who was misunderstood
            She was very limber
            People yelled timber
When she did, a mean split extremely good

Supple, limber perfect leather
Graceful in it’s agility when I
wield it by hand. 
Supple are the contusions upon 
your back as I teach you
to tease my attack-

When I train you, bull whip in hand.
Supple is your insolence- soon it shall
No longer exist, 
after my punishment.
Darling I love you so supply and intimate....

Air conditioner is loud and steady
Wind chimes prove the wind is ready
Balmy spring day bringing us March
Limber and lithe, not a bit of starch

Dogs stare at me on this lazy day
Loving the country in an appreciative way
Not a single sound, no tweet, chirp or peep
The kind of day I could do a lot of serious sleep...

Shattered minds;
Distance skies;
Broken heart;
Fleeting times;
Battle cries;
Blood pressure has risen pops!!
Voyage is limber;
Token miss figures
Confusion surprise;
Anxiety montage;
Arrive at this dissension
Help us O' Lord

Went Into Deep Slumber

Woke up and went on long walk to limber
Someone said there she goes and timber
With all of the wood I then went aboard
Wood became paper and I looked forward
To writing more poems that I remember.

PS. Leaving tomorrow for five days and will
not be writing any poems during this time....
