My poems lose rhyme
Words scramble in prosaic time....

In the mirror

text on my screen
my imagination
parked forever in a dream
satellites scramble
my heated words
as you hit delete...

Two twin sisters had a fight
That made them scramble day and night
Both thought they looked prettier on sight
One was black, the other white...

After the 2X4 over the head
I thought I was surely dead
But I saw a scramble of words
Some kinda poem about birds
Oh it’s gone, Ill go draw some cartoons instead...

“get up, get the pen, right now-
i scribble, scramble
as she spouts her brilliant rant-
i her slave, pen every word

Trenches failing, sagging and crumpling, falling
Dad jumps down in, holding a sheet of plywood
Quick lads scramble out of a filling tombhole…
Who will save Dad, now?

VOLCANO
                                         burning red mammoths
                                spear howl dust rock roar cannons
                                        scramble mice and men...

The scramble sadness of disbelief 
Empty griefs 
Apologies for anxiety happiness emptied
In a sour cup of misfortunes tortured 
Running over

Under the national treasures, they scramble for seats,
Selfishness solemnly from the wrinkled faces drips.
Do they speak our words or the words of Japanese Jeeps
When poverty and insecurity on our foreheads firmly sits?...

In the luscious blue
There is no guarantee
You know right
From wrong.
Forced to swim through irregularities,
Logic become a mischievous light.
Time swivels while you scramble.
The forward pull,
The hidden Divine chord....

One for the books, a June snowfall in Atlantic Canada
No, not December which would've been easy to handle
The weather's gone bonkers
Must be those plotters
Out to confuse us, our delicate brains to scramble...

i am sending you a kiss
that will land on your knee
climb up your leg 
scramble over your back
and hide in your hair

then when you are about to fall asleep
it will bite you gently on your neck
and whisper in your ear
i love you...

Words in the valley       
Flies like an agile osprey      
Grasping my senses        

Words became thicker
A leaf falls as trees shudder     
Easing my numbness

Calls from the deep end
Caused words to scramble and bend
Devoured by darkness...

scramble the bots there’s a new weirdo in town
using up the sun, talking un-abbreviatedly odd 
some skin looking healthier than the rest of us,
us, junkies of likes – us, beyonders of midnight
I will leave it to the bots to sort out this reality

pitter-patter
tiny booted feet
scramble
out of sight

the shadow watchmen
from nooks and crannies
are watching you 
tonight

every tear,
every shout,
every smile
so feather-light

tender brains are
shaped by your
love, your joy,
your plight...

Melancholy winds 
Adding froth to frigid rain 
Robins splay their wings 
Caterers scramble inside 
Her ivory dress - a mess

Laugh at feelings.
     Scramble 'round.
     Jump!  Jump!!  Up.
     Then twitch the tail.
     Briefly listen; speak a sound.
     Then down again
     Through fence and yard.
     Stop!  Now pause.  To breath and what?
     Grab me another acorn NUT!...
