Short Limps Poems

Battered and shaken
The motorcycle limps home
to the finish line....

A hairless street dog -
Skinny and one leg broken
Limps near the bazaar!...

derby winner cheered 
           and trophies given;
            loser limps away...

rock salted highway
seasoning for the season
a coyote limps

small sterile clinic
dim and full of cold odors
my aged dog limps
here into eternity--
lies down in dandelions...

Majestic wetlands 
Reflecting tenuous limps 
Under a blue quilt 




Inspired by Raul Moreno’s “Tranquility” contest !...

tears for the breakfast
music of blood in their vessels
you are an enigmatic
ocean
red fruits on the green trees
grey limps  with broken heart
of the bubbling youth
detonation in the field
of love...

Limerick: Once a fierce Samurai from Xi Ban Guo

Once a fierce Samurai from Xi Ban Guo
Displayed his sword-play in a tornado
But his sword slipped hands
And entered his ampersands*
So now he limps about incognito.

•	In fact, I really mean: §

Words slip from your cracked lips unbound,
spilling over my chest without a sound.
My limps then writhe with a flair,
teeter-tottering, feet bare.
Do carouse me on this merry-go-round....

My wastebasket overflows
                           with aborted attempts,
Lines that I cannot rhyme
                           and syntax that limps.

A white spot in the clouds,
a sunflower heavy with seed,
grass too long, should I mow it,
and a blackbird’s wing colours red,

limps on the path and if heavier  
crisp snail shells would echo each skip.
Draco, the tomcat eyes me pleased:
only the blackbird bleeds to death....

Darkened, over worked souls, balance on the tips of stiletto daggers. 
Stabbing inflicted under the keystone of the longitudinal arch.
Warm black tongues glide from the vamp section atop the toe box to the tight shaft.
Though in pain she limps down the catwalk

The tendrilled fingertips oil their way
from shadow black empty tree limbs
moonlight limps its way
between clouds that grey from the dark
the deep dead spitting splinters
of long gone stars
the close darkness holding
your concern a little two long
will there be evil vile live eyes looking back...

June 
Marched in
With the bright, blazing sun
It takes away the cold
And slips in
The warmth
It tiptoes around
On the hot, burning ground
But it doesn't gallop away
It stays there
Till summer fades
Then it sneaks 
Back in the cold, dampness
And limps around
In the snow
Till it melts 
Away...

Little Bit waddles and limps downstairs at the sound of my voice. Barks at the hyperactive English Springer with all the fervor of Boris, the Russian Wolfhound, of Disney’s Lady and the Tramp fame.

the scruffy old stud
with four legs close to the ground -
wisdom’s on his side

Brown skinned, short brownish hair
A female that is fare
Light brown eyes, small thighs
A lot of thought behind it

Pretty smile, petite shaped
No need to hesitate 
A hundred and fifty eight pounds
Pretty enough to wear a crown

Sweet voice, plump limps
Makes you want to flip
Inner beauty, is easy to see
That only describes me...

She sinks into the vortex of grief, 
Withering like a maple leaf; 
Wailing, a rose petal, then she dies. 
Last breaths come and go so fast, 
Leaving nothing on Earth; 
Her soul limps into the planet of the sinners, 
Feeling the heat and tasting fires. 
Her soft voice whispers God's name, 
But he turns away and strolls to his throne....

Friday afternoon, the day winds down
  My Muse, exhausted, limps around
Her brain, 'most fried, her vitality shot
  "I'm out of ink," she moans. "And I'm not---

"Not to worry, my friend," I console her
  "Sabbath draws near, so we'll both defer
 to the Lord above, Who on this day did rest
   to return to work after ~ completely refreshed...

An old lion limps,
bones crumbling with each step.

Hyenas must kill him.
The once strong cannot remain
to infirm the thriving.

Antelope reflexively run
from hair-triggering scents.

A young pride hunts;
death lives at ease with life.
Fawns and calves are born
into needy mouths.

Windblown dust scatters scraps
of sun-clawed pelts....

Candle,
cylinder,
of wax,
with a thread,
end to end,
spread,
a break in middle,
limps the fiddle,
and reduces,
the candle,
to a riddle,
our lives,
are like candles,
soul threads them,
like handles,
a broken soul,
lessens the light,
and it would not be long,
before you break yourself,
to limit to unbroken thread,
and burn in parts to death....

House of pain 

Bricks of pain never give you 
Lullaby 
Woods of doors to coat hits your limps 
Light to light you cry for sun rays 
In the scare of dark woke you up with out swaqall 
Touch the first blood from the Jesus Christ I want my own room onto the sky only problem is same with you like  my love one is onto the down 

With love all

bicycle shows ignorance of man
it summarizes man’s limited status
the most inefficient machine made
tires burst as often as possible
spokes break with no warning
frictions are all over the joints
chain breaks and breaks and breaks
very unstable two-wheeled machine
humans have fallen and broken limps
but man still uses the bicycle
as one of best machines invented
and walks with nose in the air!...

A Happy Ending


I want to set foundation
In lands of myth and dream
I dream in lands of myth
The myth of dreaming lands


By grace of subtleties
I curse my life
As It limps by again
My faces are keys
To more than a few maps


Who can find home with a broken compass?
Discovering only what is lost
Now the mistakes line up
And smile with undertones
Overflowing the staff
Serendipitous sacrifice

All I waned was a show dog 
A dog to run and play
A beautiful and talented dog
But it all changed the night 
The night that three legged dog showed up 
Like a gift from god
He’s weary limps weren’t beautiful
He couldn’t run but tried and I watched him drag his leg 
But then he turns and runs towards me 
And I forget everything I just thought 
As he jumps into my arms
I hug him as though there is no difference...
