Short Mugged Poems

the tree shuddered 
like it had been mugged
a naughty wind 
whispered in its ear...
from its branches
hung icicles
of defeat...

Claire's hellish romance
Blissful with glittering scars,
Her quaint lover mugged
Her docility, bridling
Her marriage with sweet sorrows...

There once was this girl who was pretty
Who resided in New York City
Got mugged Friday night
Weak attempt at a fight
Life as a harlot is such a pity...

NOSTALGIA

I am fearful of the nostalgia train
while tied to the tracks awaiting the pain
who wrote this history
‘tis always a mystery
for I’ve been mugged on memory lane

POETIC JUSTICE

There was an old man from Fontaine
Who walked with aid of a cane
One night he was mugged
By a wannabe thug
In the graveyard, the thug was lain

This elaborate fantasy
built cloud by cloud
into a cumulus
to transport us
in a state of ecstasy
to eternal bliss
the big ship of dreams
mugged by reality
a thunderstorm
of epic proportions
and the deluge
to claim us....

Mist covered tall trees
Myna on a wire
Sunshine mugged by clouds
Smoke of factory
Road snaking uphill

Cold numb fingers
Chill wind on face
Dry thirsty throat
Eyes yearning more

Humming wind
Rustling leaves
My breathing

Wet soil
Wet wood

Bread...

In this world
with changing masks on
all measured, with a touchstone

People judges
and are judged
on mere words, mugged

I am no saint
nor a devil
a mere human, being civil

How i yearn
and burn
to be free and just be me!!!

Paul's camel Tahli loved  Dr. Oetker
                            Mugged for the camera of  Baker
                                   And went out for a date
                                With Oetker's daughter Kate
                          He was out of date as a love maker...

Quicksand
Oh, man

Hold hope
Need rope

Loud yell
Tear fell

Not heard
Absurd

Swim out
I doubt

Loud roar
I swore

Bad bunch
I’m lunch

Just then
Came friend

He grinned
Chagrined 

He laughed
Held staff

Pulled out
Rude lout

He mugged
I slugged

Amends
Still friends...

                  Present, wrapped on sight
            Leaning bows look forward, close (clothed)
                 Familiar, sents

It's breeze of wheeze, squeeze
utter grip center, maw, drip
Of thank you, please, sip

        Steaming love in mug
     Accosted moment to 'steem
 Taste of tanks full ness...

I'm grateful for every beating that I have ever received.
As a child I was bullied. As an adult I've been mugged 
and suffered major injuries at protest rallies.
I welcome any future beatings that may still befall me in vein,
because you see, every survived beating provides for me
a much greater, stronger tolerance for pain....

charred and smooth
black inside white enamel
decadence from the inside out
that evil temptress here to steal a tooth
and replace it so sweet with caramel
to fatten my mouth and fill it stout

sparkling and rugged
white inside black soot
decadence from the outside in
mine own mistress bruised and mugged
rotten from the brain to foot
whip me right in my ugly sin...

"What is taking you so long?"
My dad asks as I slowly try to write
My best signature at night
On a check at my dad's ATM

Pay to the order of dad
Its my first pay check
"I'm only ten dad, what the heck?"
I always hated cursive

"We could get mugged out here"
he says irritably and I snap back
Arguing about in the car he slaps me
Crying I wished I'd never got that check...

Caught red-pawed 
in the refrigerator;
with missing milk,
by a man called, Gator.

Guilt was written
all over his face,
this feline by whom
the milk was displaced.

He claimed he’d been mugged
locked in by a milk thief
but, saying a fairy did it,
was beyond belief.

He was caught red-pawed,
a clear guilty verdict;
pronounced by Gator,
and shockingly quick.

Not a good day, I want to fly away, 
Disapear into dispair, dying from lying,
I'll just go ding, like an old toaster thing,
It toasts bread, and never goes to bed,
Awake through the pain and strains,
Crying tears of fears,
Not beliving all of the dealings of drugs,
That is untill I got mugged,
Cought in a frought, not one way out,
I turn insideout,
Burning and yearning for hope,
But "no" said the pope....

Lake Breaking News

Early this morning, there was a robbery
A turtle mugged a snail down by the pond
The shell the turtle jacked, was off the poor snail's back
and when he turned around, the thief was gone

He went down to the station, after much deliberation
And told the cops his story at last.
With such a keen depiction, they asked for a description
But, the snail said it happened much to fast...

Oh dear one, for many years we have hurt and hugged.
Brought up the spears of contention and have been mugged.

Could I have been the one to compose your sorrow?
I guess time will tell when we reach that tomorrow.

The premise was so impressively constructed.
Yet like a streetcar that was poorly conducted.

Placed upon a pedestal that was bound to fall.
Oh dear one, how I long for thy spirit to call!
