Painful Falls
It's nature's will in Autumn trees—
To slip out of offbeat colors.
There lay crushed prose he saw through her.
My unattached ground still does bleed
From raked walks on lanes— those who leave....

Deep
I dig, you dig, she dig, we all dig, it makes us weep
This may not be beautiful, but it's certainly “deep”
How tricky was that
Such clever chitchat
Surely could make it in showbiz, though a little offbeat...

A Bluegrass Band
You have to have a banjo
To get that Bluegrass sound
The bass is a necessity
To nail the rhythm down
When the fiddler plays a lead
It shoots tingles up your spine
A guitar helps to keep the beat
Or pick the melody line
The Mandolin’s offbeat chop
Makes the Bluegrass whole
Greater than the sum of the parts
This music’s solid gold...

Slam Time - So You Think You Can Rhyme
you think you can rhyme
your words out of time
like a dancer offbeat
you step and repeat
you sound like a fool
your mouth open to drool
trying to take me down
like bozo the clown
no words to be heard
and nothing to say
so you flip them the bird
then you walk away
like a sucker in a suit
you're better off mute
Contest: So You Think You Can Rhyme...

Im Sorry Daddy
What was I thinking
I should have prepared
Offbeat was my blinking
It’s clear, I don’t care
I’m only a fraud
Incompetent fake
An average facade
Even that isn’t great
Unfortunate victims
Who saw false potential
It seems that I’ve tricked them
With phony credentials
Make no mistake
This is not a confession
I, too, took the bait
Subconscious deception...

Young Woman - Gone
She was a woman
who fought for her rights
Struck down by a
mindless murderer
An offbeat note
in a symphony of hate
Her legs will no longer
traverse the green campus
All of her love
Her desires for the future
ended
A newspaper tells
this tale
An empty seat in the
class
Just as spring returns
So life will continue
The earth still revolves
Around the sun
Minus one...

Knows a Lot
Her nose was slightly big I saw
When at first we were to meet
Not enough to call a flaw
But only just a tad offbeat
She said, "I think on you I will grow"
I asked,"Is that what you suppose?"
She said, "No, I know what I know"
Smiling, I said,"That's a lot of knows!"
Then she did something very sad
She stomped off with no goodbye
I could see she was very mad
Then I knew what I said was why!...

Awkward Space
Limericks as stanzas.. is that a thing?
In a little corner, by the window
A tiny, potted, plant does grow
Odd and unconventional
Awfully untraditional
But this is where I tend to go
Something that feels so out of place
Rejected, awkward, filler space
An offbeat
Few square feet
In my mind, along the lines, I trace
We share a moment every single day
When our time is up, I want to stay
Feet hit floor
Out the door
The world around looks beige and grey...

Fear
The ever growing sense of danger
prevails through
sweat and quick glances,
the shadow ballet
with offbeat dances.
The melodrama playing out in your heart
vibrating with each beat.
All in the synaptic choir
singing the intro of your panic.
As the people start to chant
while tension wounds even tighter,
the warrior in you the fighter
comes through.
To save the day and be a hero
from the pain staking moments
leading to and fro
that equals to nothing less
than pure fear....
