Short Pummel Poems

The Secret Santa silently sat spying
 A giggling girl grabbing and guessing gifts
 the pretty packages pummel down
 bending branches, bouncing blue balls....

Outside, drops of heavy rain pummel the leaves
Inside, drops of heavy tears pelt my pillow

When it rains, it cleanses the sky
When I cry, it cleanses my soul
Both the sky and I are replenished

And after our drops fall,
We can both begin anew...

You are the moon 
Orbiting my world
Controlling the tides 
Of my emotional oceans
And directing the winds 
That carry my dreams
Creating uncontrollable storms of passion
That pummel my mountainous desires,
But shine your calming reflection
Across the stillness 
Of my solemn lakes...

Your hat hangs limp and still with your loss
faded and stained, every thread, precious 
my tears blur with silhouettes of you, dad
your distinctive scent, I touch your well worn brim
the hallway darkens with an approaching storm
pounding raindrops pummel my grieving heart.

I CHISEL AND HAMMER
ON THIS WALL OF BRICKS
POUND AND PUMMEL
JUST TO GET TO YOU
WHEN THE BRICK HAS CRUMBLED
I FIND A WALL OF GLASS
THAT SURROUNDS YOU
LIKE A CAGE
I CAN SEE IN
BUT YOU CAN'T SEE OUT
SILENCED BY FRUSTRATION
I SIT AND CONTEMPLATE
YOU IN YOUR SHELL
I FIND TIME 
HAS LOST ITS MEANING
I CAN STARE FOREVER
INTO YOUR ABYSS....

just
want
to
say
thank
you
from 
the 
bottom
of
my 
heart
for
the
relentless
puritan
work
ethic
that 
you 
beated
into
our
ancestors
heads
when
coming
upon
this
land---
for 
it
has
kept 
me
swinging
with
both 
fists 
clenched
in
the 
struggle
to
pummel
all
of
your
oppressive
&
self-
righteous
ways
to 
a 
bloody
pulp
until
my
last
breath....

Don’t
hate me, despise me
Don’t
cut me off, hide me
Don’t 
put me in a corner to punish me
Don’t
mentally torture me
Don’t
yell, shout or scream at me
Don’t
tear share or scare me
Don’t
hurt me, nor squeeze me
Don’t
taunt, tease and thump me
Don’t 
shove, crush, or bruise me
Don’t 
push, pull or pummel me
Don’t
break me or blind me
Don’t
abuse me, or bleed me
Don’t 
rape me, suffocate me
Don’t 
murder me, lose me
DON’T...

Tell me you love me
You don't know what tomorrow brings
The sun isn't free
So treasure the little things

Find the light
At the end of the tunnel
Don't take flight
Your happiness, don't pummel

You can't dwell on the past
Keep your eyes straight
Moments will pass you fast
Just believe in fate

The hourglass is glued down
That's a fact
Don't frown
Keep that smile in tact

Time is permanent
If you're alive
You're fortunate 
But you need to thrive

Half Past Ape!

A hominid has broken off the zoo,
It is quaffing fetid water in the loo!
When drunk with the frothy gulp
It'll pummel own wife to near pulp!

The Zoo has freed a freaking Ape
To the detriment of sexes with rape,
Just as the young fall to tantrums
Or a frenzied simian beating drums!

There's still a primitive part in us
That strongly resist to board a bus!
It haunts most when we're cruel;
Robbing another of mirth an' gruel!

With sharpened axe you splice and splice again
Repeatedly you strike
Should I forget your name
You take a rest and burn and ache and swell
Until old familiar returns to bring me Hell
You rage in Devils angry fire
Keep me awake 
I can not sleep through depth of mire
You drill with pressure, 
push, pummel and pull
You drag, drain and dull -
to peace - short while
Praise be!  Amen!...
but not for long...
with wrong move 
or slight of weather
start over again......
