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...

To complain God left Trump in the lurch
But the angels there

Who attended a Cannabis church.

For ignoring church teaching
He got stoned in a grove of birch....

Lightless ledge, looking to lure a lost lamb
To lewd license, liquor, and lowlife lurch—
To the lesser lying league and layer....

Lions hush in dark brush
steps lurch, as eyes fill

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

Lurch and thunder white-foamed waves
Near this boardwalk stretching empty
Past its surf shops, hushed and idle:
Summer days wend to an end....

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.

fidgeting and diddling, their fingers in a lurch
Fiddle-sticks and Fiddle-faddle stopped to watch and stare
puttering and muttering, one day in autumn’s air...

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.

end then the search, on bliss beats perch
the past is dead, future unknown

rekindle then, heart’s innocence 
beholding soul’s luminescence...

  While the buzzard cackles from his perch
The red sun's inflamed in the morn

Staring into the abyss of an angry rush hour

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...

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...
