Short Pinning Poems

faeries pinning clothes
greening leaves spinn-dried*, sunn-baked —
merry of mischief

Constant below the belt down pinning is a manifestation of extreme fanaticism, especially of women to men and gay to men and implied sexual craving.

Preparing a most daring dare,
Of pinning a tail to a bear,
He just couldn’t choose
Which tail type to use,
And thought best to leave matters there.

Heart and thoughts like a bull cart,
To walk together straight, 

Behave like an enemy my thoughts, 

Reminding the one did depart,
Pinning my heart!...

Always knee from very beginning,       
Each race run I would be winning;
Grades be better;
Wear letter sweater;
Wrestling, my opponent pinning.

She ping
She pong
Digging both sides
With concentration
With hand slamming
Calculated precision 
Eyes rolling pinning
The striking win
Over this green 
Rectangular board....

GRANDPA A TOY!

Pulling,pushing,

Pretending sleep,

Pinning,punching,

Still,in sleep,

Pulling,pushing,

Grandpa in sleep,

Pinning,punching-

Grandpa a toy!...

A million little stars hold up the sky
Pinning it to the back of Neverland
A place where dreams come true
For those who can truly understand


For the Pick A Title contest

Snatching them by their head
Pinning them to the ground
Tearing off their limbs
Pouring water on their wounds
Standing up and carrying them inside
Showing them to your mother 
She stares and says:
“What did you do to those poor ants?”...

You'll take great joy in pinning,
a medal to my heaving chest.
So overjoyed at cajoled winning,
a raucous knockout...you'll be impressed

Rocking slowly
A rattan armchair
Tired body
Eyes pinning at the ceiling 
Blank 
No lizards 
No beetles 
Bored and alone
Mind loose 
Eyes dimming 
On the past
Fading away
At last eyes closed 
For the present
For a short nap 
And a better tomorrow...

mother mouse had her hands and tubs full on wash day
her children were jumping and diving and playing every which way
Pinning on the line took even more effort, but worth the trouble.
Interlopers kept coming back for more; she thought she was seeing double....

Another medal of honor! What did I do? Asked the stork.
You are a beacon of hope, you bring the light. 
We wait for you, wondering, and you deliver.
I only do my job as God intended, said the stork.
It is more than enough, the new parents said.
Pinning another medal of honor onto his chest....

wind dry
in the sun
clothesline magic
pinned in happy delight
fresh smell

wet blouse
waves gaily
clothesline magic
brave flipping and flopping
wind blown

denium
Heavy jeans
extra pinning
bogging down the wire
bending

clothes line
nostalgia
backyard neighbor
moms pinning together
60’s...

Raymond Magpie fell in love with a crow.
When she was around, he was a glow.
It cannot be true!
Said Mother Prue.
I will bring him home by his big toe.

So she did what she said she was going to do.
She dragged Raymond Magpie by his left shoe.
There he stays
Pinning his days
Wishing his mama was not a racist shrew....

Feeling empty
sometimes, no time
sometimes, really sham.

I got here a hundred pesos
for haircut, one week
still here my wallet.

The reason, is sore
feet, a gout, terribly
pinning me at home.

If only like
machine I could
change one for cure.

Life is standoff
all schedule cancelled
because of this malady....

bodies [under chemical reaction] rise & lose gravity,
travel about the air wistfully, like lost feathers.
wander away, thought, worry, you're pinning me down!
released with the discovery of clarity, touch replaces sound.
                                           hear me-
                              [the euphoria is contagious]...

Everytime I move ahead it does not take long to fall behind,
Just when I think I see cleary, I find I am actually pretty blind.
Then guilt comes along with sorrow pinning me to the ground,
Needing to hear encourgement, please tell me can it be found?
I feel left alone blaming myself always questioning why,
How do I get to the point in life I no longer have to cry?...

Wax and polish shinning;
Offering up a hand
On beggars banquet dinning;
They danced through magic land
       And on the isle of magic trances;
       With songs heard in the breeze
      You can spot the ghostly glances;
      Of-wishers on their knees
Failed hearts and pinning;
Those self-inflected brands;
There’s seldom silver lining’s
In the glass that spills the sand...

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

                                               taught to forget past?
                                            pinning labels on rivals,
                                              the furnace turned up,
                                   are you made to believe lies -
                         primed to kill those you should love?...

Knowing I'm nothing
Knowing you think I'm nothing
Knowing the world around me
is too oblivious of my being 
Knowing there's a murky gloom
and movements of pinning down
I still continue dreaming happily
of a flowery world where we enjoy
the breaths of others' fragrances
I still believe flowers bloom at the right Time

In quilting class (which meets on Zoom),
I followed the directions,
By cutting, pinning, basting, sewing
All the different sections.

I kept up with the teacher 
(Which for me is very rare),
So during “show and tell” I had
A project I could share.

With the pillow insert stuffed inside,
I fluffed it all the way
And proudly placed it on the couch,
My hard work on display.

Jonah refused to speak out
against evil...so, he was 
swallowed by a whale;
inside the big tummy, for
not speaking Judgment
he thought again of scripture
while growing quite pale:
not judging with the sense
God gives one, is to hence
repeat and fail – we are
all donkeys – pinning truth,
as our hearts perceive it, always
not perfect, but perhaps, for now 
a necessary tail/tale.......

Life is slowly pinning me down, 
sharp shards of attachment attack by mobility.
Treadmill of  progression that strengthens me to stay. 
as my legs stagnate my mind grows. 
I guess I could move forward,
towards, 
ahead,
but I am not ready to leave it all behind. 
You’ve clipped my wings; the circumstance of you has pulled me unwarily from the sky. 
Into you lap of comfort, where I remain uncomforted....
