Wimpy Lover

The spear passed through my heart
His words like a dart
Blood oozed
Pain  profuse
My hand limp
I let go off the wimp

Betty

Betty was not very tall
Her shoes seem to be small
She walked with a limp
Mistaken for a gimp
Or an excess of alcohol

As the heat subsided
A cool grayness crept in
Exhausted shadows slept
Limp leaves exhaled hope
Open windows inhaled it

a darkened cornfield crackles

I Came a Loss

If once
I came a loss
Should I curse the boss
And make my way on my own
Or should
I just say goodbye
And limp away to my glorious home

Chill of Showers

With showers lashing down on bushy trees,
limp boughs grow thin as light dims
on heaps of chilling leaves.

A Wall of Heat

Limp
the leaves
heavy
the air
angry
the sky
a wall
of heat
pressing
pressing...
unwelcome
even for
minutes
even on
winter's edge

Tired and Limp

I am so drained, a tired mind, melted into goo upon a platter. Limp butter-soaked biscuit, no longer warm.

Unhappy Tommy Macguigan

Unhappy Tommy Macguigan

He wasn't blessed with a big'un

'Twas rather a shrimp

And usually limp,

Poor little thing, best kept hidden.

Street Eats of Sizzling Meat

Following the food truck trend,
Peruvian fare:
Beef, chorizo, hot dog, eggs
crushing the limp bun—
one “superburger,”
carne clogged.
Split.

Jacob and the Limping Luck

Jacob don't snob,
All others died but you just limp,
Contain your ego within realism,
Obsession discards good fame,
Beware of your luck joyfully.

Old Age

years pull away from
petals fragile limp dusty
which curl as they dry
aging stops all former bloom
once smelling sweet with vigor

Autumn Reverie

Dream leaf “fall” usher
motley hue cascade unfurled
dull grey sky gaunt sun
mud strewn pockmarks on limp moss
wet nabs ripe fruit orchard splurge

Tell Me I'M Pretty

Memories like scars
on limp wrists
Your past chases you
like a killer in the night
Cold, black emptiness 
is your heart
This time "sorry"
isn't enough

stuffing ripped out - self esteem gone,

Oh Limp Pix

A photographer of Indoor Sports
Found himself dragged through the lower courts
The hotel said
He filmed their bed
When a buxom housemaid dropped her shorts

Flowers

Flowers
                Pretty fragrant
                Fading, waiting, dying
                Wilting all the while limp
                            Gardens

Blimp's Diet

There’s a plump man they call The Blimp
Who recently started to limp
Though each day without fail
He’d eat a whole whale
So I proposed that he switch to shrimp

Summer Never Mattered

     Limp from the sweat 
       of a sweltering Summer
     we staggered into Fall
   
     fanned by cooling breezes ~
       Summer never mattered at all

Limp On Ron

Limping Ron was limping on,
In-grown toe nails aren't much fun,
Two on one foot hard to bare
Doctor said they'll need much care,
When will his walking stick be gone?

Foot Fetish

Have you heard of Charlie Kemp?
The man was dumber than a poorhouse pimp
He stuck his foot in a lion's cage
Stupidity had to be the latest rage
Now see him walk with a limp!

of peppermint
permeates
his linens.

waiting for puppeteer.

The Mummy

Being archeologists we let out a sigh, 
after reading a Mummy warning sign,:
If he should awake,
life's not at stake,
has limp and is no longer in his prime.
