Blessed by Russia's orthodox church
a new radar system's rehearsed
they won't be left long in the lurch
unless Mother Russia is cursed?...

Sunday morning
There is church
Dinner to cook
In a lurch

The early quiet time
Is mine to enjoy
A time to compose
Or just to toy...

I saw an ant
	Tangled in a spider's web
		My heart gave a lurch
As to the ant I said,
	“I am trapped like you,
		And soon I might die too.”...

Highly intelligent are they
With words they play all day
On your side they work
Your case take in a lurch
As in prison you learn to stay...

As she dashed into her yoga school
Each move is complex
Regardless of sex
But the vicar just swallowed his tool....

To complain God left Trump in the lurch
But the angels there
Sang, "You have no prayer!
Wearing the Red just earns you the birch!"...

There once was a fellow named Lurch 
Who attended a Cannabis church.
Lurch listened not to preaching;
For ignoring church teaching
He got stoned in a grove of birch....

Lions hush in dark brush
steps lurch, as eyes fill
a darting zebra

Clocking is cloaking my plans,
Chasing me to drive home to
             unfurl my modus operandi,
Cramming my mind but the hazy thoughts,
Leaving me at length in the lurch !!...

In a north wind chilled with portent,
Lurch and thunder white-foamed waves
Near this boardwalk stretching empty
Past its surf shops, hushed and idle:
Summer days wend to an end....

World With My Brother

My brother's world this has been,
And God's love  did let life begin;
Did search and search,
Where sin would lurch;
God had saved me from my sins.

I should have looked before I leaped
now I have been left in a lurch
by my lily-livered boyfriend,
but I'll have the last laugh
when he see his laundry
in a lovely shade of pink.

turbid thoughts leave us in the lurch
end then the search, on bliss beats perch
the past is dead, future unknown
‘tis here now where love seeds are sown
rekindle then, heart’s innocence 
beholding soul’s luminescence...

The locusts yet screech after dawn
  While the buzzard cackles from his perch
The red sun's inflamed in the morn
   Snarled traffic pauses to lurch...

Staring into the abyss of an angry rush hour
  ~ Workers from home take a shower...

NO COFFEE

Lurch!
One eye
Is it time?
The clock says yes
Clock can go to hell!
Then I detect the smell
The ultimate aroma
Staggering into the kitchen
Well what on earth?    It’s not our coffee
Wife is still in bed    window open...

I wrote upon the edges of the wind

feelings with a lurch

Sword flashing fire flows
leap lurch land on pipe led toes
Down hill slicing foes






The title comes from Scotland's flower
The picture is a young wild clansman
with a shiny wet sword
led by bagpipes like a wind blown thistle seed...

The hounds are baying
my hand trembles
I take a whisky to calm my nerves
The rain relaints
My tears  have a glint
The fate I sought
has vanished in the haze
I rise my tune
and sweetly sing my time
as the harlequins lurch 
somedays soon...

Desire made a fool of me
more than once.

Lust left me standing
in the lurch.

Touch, or lack of it
made me return.

Hope kept me willing
to get burned.

Human, that's the condition
I was in.

Hormones now settled,
old age begins....

Bird followed the chair closely, it looked like a lovely perch.
I think I should take a ride, he said to his cousin Lurch.
Lurch thought it was a bad idea, and this he quickly said.
The little girl was oblivious to him, she never turned her head....
