My Write
No metaphors
Simply raw
Straightforward
Uppercut
Hit the jaw.
Scrape
Revealing marrow
Broken rules,
Many poems
Simple phrases
All my jewels....

Batter On the Spatula
Let me lick the spoon
After you scrape the mixture
Into the cake pans.

Let me have the bowl
So I can lick the sweet streaks.
I will wash the dishes!...

Inventions
Her nail invention was patent quick
She also had another trick
To paint toes with a bubble
Scrape feet with a scrubble
By using the smallest straw stick...

Still Bleeding
the white rose
marks the pureness
of remembrance---
still recalling
true loves loss

the rose thorns
scrape the edge
of the vase---
wearing the pricks
on my heart...

Untitled #176 / Light Rain
Light rain cloaks the morning ground like a fog
the soles of my shoes are muddy
though I scrape and I scratch,
I cannot wipe the dust
of the earth from my feet...

Ghosts
Grate them like cheese, these
Hushed memories, so I no longer
Obsess, on my perforated chest,
Scrape them off of my plate, no    
Time to waste, Sorrow
Salivates...

The glass ball slips from my grasp

Broken shards scrape the surface

I let the ground taste my tears

The droplets leave behind unmarked graves...

Untitled
fingernails cut
     with pocket knife
        dirt too deep
          to scrape
       his grandson
             held
       his thumb
         like a warm
               wooden toy...

being party to

Escape From Tape Rape
Escape from Tape Rape

With much energy was quite an escape,
From what can be called the Tape Rape;
Nails now tighter;
Knuckles whiter;
Trump with the law had another scrape.

Did Escape a Scrape With Rape
Did Escape A Scrape With Rape


What was known is that she did escape,
From what appeared to be only a scrape;
Up brought;
Only thought,
And not actually the performance of rape.

Scrape With Death
Scrape With Death

Was an artist who always  liked to escape,
Until with death he did have quite a scrape;
And as directed,
Never genuflected;
Ended up dying due to being out of shape.

No Money
home again, repeat
cook, clean, scrape change off the road
buy generic brands

buy on sale only
borrow if you can, cheap queen
beg if you have too

Did some one say 60 shopping days till Christmas??...

Soft pliable clay, peels away with tools touch; cold and wet. The sculptors’ eye sees life in the clay before, it reveals itself. Scrape away the excess baggage and a new beauty is born.
