It's hard
Suffering every ragged breath
Knowing
You're gone

shivers and begs in the street -

Enclosed by ragged
wooden fence, yellow apples
have fallen into
grasses where children once played
and laughter no longer sounds.

gnarled old bones creak
with each ragged wind-blown breath
lifeless fingers reach

Like looking in a mirror,
and being shown not fresh youth
but ragged age, lost dreams---
but good for the soul it is
I'm sure...mea culpa,
my bad

matted furball fluff
ears ragged, tail disheveled
shaved to summer 'do
now look so skinny -
slick, girly, all clean and white
hardly know it's you

Laugh at this grey town,
Dust lies thick; ragged trees
Streets lost—prairie seas
Unsoftened majesty
Wide streets end—wide earth begins
Sun sets; full moon-rise

Since I've been born.
Just a peasant girl,
Not worth diamonds or pearls.
Born with the sheep
Have to sleep in the big dung heap.
Used and worn,
Ragged and torn.

I do not know?
shall i compare you to a summer's night
with lost thrill
like ragged wood
you drift from beneath me
yet i do not drown in sorrow,
but remain afloat

Rider comin' up behind me
Ragged ear pony shows message is important
As he draws alongside
I
indicate food in my saddlebag
hand across the reins
and
jump

Robin - A Didactic Cinquain
Robin
Ragged, perky
Splashing, bouncing, singing
Ever so jolly

You whispered.
And ragged butterflies bled into the earth,
Grasshoppers cut through clouds,
And in mounds, roses grinned their jagged teeth
Quietly tucked in satin.

Lyric
Her look begged a thousand begs,
Such that i could not reach
Her as she trawled the stoney beach,
For ragged drowned things,
Such that i could not hear
Her cold water screech.

The blue ocean sea,
Surges as you breathe,
Waves then follow,
Curling their ragged top lip,
Rolling pebbles with their heels.

pseudo-expression's
of ragged diamonds
a fugazi sans brilliance,
shiner midst vague skies
in the optical jags of
practical indifference

Soul of Love
It is ragged now--
My soul of love.
Tattered and torn--
My soul of love.
Your thorny words
Blind me.
Deep scars
Adorn me,
But it has endured--
My soul of love.

Birds were very
aggressive today
There is a ragged loud
screeching swooping Hawk
Outside always
Protecting his territory
Scarring the little gentle songbirds away

Rags Before Riches
They ragged on me when I was rich;
Had been in rags digging a ditch;
Now in my own tower;
Riches down on shower,
And only God knows my each glitch.

Today was a ragged book that no one remembers
Alone on a dusty shelf
Patiently waiting to share all of the beautiful secrets
Written on brittle pages
And in the margin

Willy's hair looked like a ragged old mop
His loving wife told him, 'Go get it cropped!'
He sat down in the chair
Yawned, 'I've got hair to spare'
Willy woke up with a shiny bald top

Limerick
Two hats lost in a desert felt so much dread
For unable to walk, they had to hop instead
Soon with a ragged rim
One hat cried, "It looks dim!"
The other said, "Wait, and I'll go on ahead!"

I'll bring Sunflowers
calling on you, Dear.
Bouquet sworn vows
until promises wear
time's ragged edge
begs my suicide flight
from top floor ledge
I miss tomorrow light.

Rhyme
my grief runs weeping
bearing tears of
broken glass
their ragged edges
cutting my eyes
salty drops of yeterday
tracing a jagged path
down the skin
of my soul.
