Toast him or roast him
or follow your whim, and
put him out on a limb ~
But if that limb breaks
Both your futures are grim
The man went out on a limb
To hire his best friend Kim
Who was dingy as hell
He couldn’t even spell
Put his signature name as Jim
A tall tree I did climb,
on a bet of a dime.
Baby Bear said it was funny,
it was not for the big money.
The limb broke what a crime.
Life
offers
diverse paths.
Travel wisely,
but sometimes dare to go out on a limb.

Octopus hide in your sea garden
Two tentacles bit by a marlin
Afraid to reach out
though never a doubt
New limbs sprout, no better a bargain!
L-et Tuesday morning come,
I-n twenty-fourth January;
N-ight cold chill disappears,
D-awn erases the
A-gony.
B-lue water in the pool
O-pens the time for a swim;
H-aven't yourself gone
O-ut on a
L-imb.
Owl always love you
You are a hoot at midnight
I just love the way you say whoooo, whoooo...
I am glad that you chose me
To be your tree mate
I wouldn't want to be out on a limb with anyone but you
Whoo!!! Whoo!!
Trump and Biden are both whiners
Fake news both wanting to be headliners
Saying they won a contest
Both leaving all with unrest
Fighting over politics like minors

She sits alone stretched out on a limb
Her feline grace catches sun warming rays
Content in magnificent thought she stays
While the gentle breeze sways
No reason to wander, more thoughts she will ponder
Quite secure in her domain

two sparrows out on a limb
cordial and looking just prim
they were looking down at me
as I sipped my evening tea.
I responded and whistled back
shifting gears they stayed on track
seems they were amused by my call
to me it was nothing at all.
My heart soaked in enticing wine
Drunk with love and mellowed,
Hangs out on a flower-laden bough
With new charm is endowed.
Come quickly my dear, oh, my love,
Come, for life is fleeting,
Ha, as soon as a flower blooms
Its beauty but takes wing!
The hare expected to win and the tortoise knew he would lose--too much and too little of themselves, until fate intervened.
One sat under the apple tree until an apple fell on its head, and the other was on top of that tree, simply going out on a limb.
There is one for whom I still care
So again I send up a prayer
That Mr. Oak would come to find
It's his heart he should listen to over his mind
My life is incomplete without him
So now I guess I'm out on a limb
You just want to be my friend?
Still feel that way? Can oak trees Bend?
Form:
Went out on a limb and lost my way
burned all the bridges I know
a drove of seagulls passed me by
flapping their wings, they waved goodbye
Now I'm heading your way,
and I pray the ocean leads me home.

A-ugust thirtieth Wednesday,
R-emain safe and sound;
C-over your life with shield,
E-vildoers roam around.
L-et not your soul be put in risky situation;
I-dentify the danger that causes destruction.
N-ever let the weather turn
I-nclement and dim;
L-et not yourself go
O-ut on a limb.

"Remembering you Rico, I know you could have done much better" Quote by the Poet
Tabby waits til a ladder arrives.
He already used eight of his lives.
Was just on a silly whim,
He had climbed out on a limb.
But very close to him, big bee hives.
Mr Caterpillar crawling
out on a limb so far,
breezes in the air,
sun shining so bright,
dark blue skies over
his head, fluffy clouds
making way for
nature to sing,
all of the animals
of the forest asked
him, "What have you
been doing today?"
Mr Caterpillar
replied, "Just hanging
around."

Where does my hope go
When I can't find it anymore
Hiding with my faith
Behind a hidden door
Love can be lost
But always exist
It can't be killed
Even if I resist
Am I still here
As I lose myself
Can't find my image
Even on a shelf
I've lost my way
The path grew dim
No crossroads present
Alone, out on a limb.

They can put a man
On a pedestal,
Have him admired
Far and wide;
But he’ll never
Really be that tall
Unless he feels
That way inside.
The crowd can make
A man a king
And call him
A big success,
But he must reach
Goals he’s set himself
If he’s to find
True happiness.
Two sets of three words each
Each sets forces in motion
Mighty as mountains, vast as the ocean
The first set, "I give up"
All momentum it quells
The future, disrupts
The other, "I love you"
Walks you out on a limb
Your destiny magical; alternatively, grim
Utter these three words with the utmost care
Never with a wing; always with a prayer
May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.
Today I’m thankful for optimists….
yes, those who look on the bright side of life… I salute…
The ones who are never be afraid to go out on a limb
because they know…
that’s…where you usually find the fruit

Little dogs,
To show how “big” they are,
Growl and snap in a mean gruff bluff;
And “little men,”
Yell and beat their chests and their wives
To prove they’re big, rough, tough.
But when truly formidable challenges
Finally come their way,
Three guesses.
Who’s first to run,
And which dog has his day?
You sashay on by me
your nose in the air
a glance of dismissal
in those green eyes you wear
Enticing me more with
your lack of concern
Your show of indifference
Only makes my heart yearn
So I bow to your wishes
I bow to your whims
But find myself here
Stuck out on a limb
Trying to claw my way in
Oh…why do you scorn me?
What else can I do?
O Puddy Tat…Puddy Tat
I love you
Value placed on the happenings
Posting the treasure in you
Calls in the night
Spare moment chats
Out on a limb for the right thing
Long awaited scant memory
Knowing of what was meant to be
Events causing stumbling blocks
Both been to the school of hard knocks
Time for reunions chart
Years passed
Doubt surfaced
Chiming in the new year
Making all things clear
Games in the rear
Positive actions intercede
