A baby mosquito landed on my hand
I smacked it
It scrunched up, I saw its legs fold
But then it flew off
Surprising both of us
spat on, scrunched, trampled
unimaginably torn
used, misused, abused
we care not; for there is want
and it remains valuable.

Traditional Tanka contest
Listen to poem:
I lie bedraggled, disheveled,
scrunched up and crinkled,
in a pile,
like ratty raggedy
rag doll,
besmirched,
defiled and exiled,
for being a
spineless,
limp
wimp.
Chin thrust forward, held in right hand
pleasant sweep of hair graces unexceptional forehead
Thoughts percolate, bubble lightly, retreat
mouth scrunched up into grudging position
Eyes
intent
small face scrunched
in concentration
little fingers working hard
"Look Mommy, I've tied my shoes all by myself!"
Inspired by Nigel Fawcetts PRIME-ary School contest
My Mama told me, "Don't get Lippy!"
"Better back up, and I mean Skippy!"
Scrunched up eyes, bloodshot Red,
Punched two teeth, from my Head!
I joined a Cult, became a Hippy!
You have to be super quiet Timmy whispered to Mac
Mac scrunched down, and sighed loud in his back
Resting away as they hit every clickety clickety clack.
Conductor noticed but was kind enough to turn his back.
The air is chaos,
a whirlwind of dark serrated fragments
that lash out
like sand scrunched into my eyes.
Was I wrong?
Were you wrong?
Does it even matter?
"Sorry" falls
like a paper bag
blitzed in the air.
Murder at the Prom
Frankie Lyman shrilled his falsetto.
Gwendolyn Gould danced in stilettos.
So callously smothered,
they never recovered.
Poor little piggies, scrunched little toes.

I lined up the vegetable crazies onto a dinner plate.
They stuck out their tongues, their tummies were great.
With scrunched up faces, I wondered if they knew their fate.
Eight gnarled up turnips lying on a flat dinner plate.
I recall a time past when my Tuesday was smitten,
(Before being neutered she was my little sex kitten),
With a big one-eyed cat, my orange cat Popeye;
In heat, she walked beside him
With her front scrunched way down
And her butt in the air
And an urgent come-hither look in her eye.

familiar feelings feigns
odd emotions strains
pulpy punctured projection
ensconced eerie erections
contract into span
gulped by trance
mystic meager mass
assumed airy mask
met mushy task
inky oily infection
curl callous combustion
scribbling damped solutions
emotions sans vibe
sanity scrunched bribe.

purpl'd eyes heaven
with tongue cloven
met mystic malady
embroidered ensconced epilepsy
dripping damped desires
jittery earth admires
saline liquid loitering
deflowered dusts damping
scrunched sans spooky
moistened mists melt
Jove's jumpy jets
twain trailed crest
dull disease dances
later lost traces

a supernatural force must have saved the reckless driver
the Ford she was maneuvering is scrunched in three ways
everyone who saw the auto said “the driver must be dead”
she is not dead
she has hitchhiked home to get the keys to her husband’s truck
she is driving to work in it
I know because this walking talking miracle who survived is me
Mammogram central
They are asking me questions
I have no answers
Where did I have my last mammogram?
I thought I had it here
The last one they can find was 12 years ago
I am unconcerned
My breast looks like it is healing
I feel good
Even though they squeezed my girls
Scrunched up into old men
in a tiny plastic box
No way to treat my 44D’s
concentric circles clouds
mushy mists growl
tainted tarred twain
epileptic ensconced spray
rustic rims raved
adapting aura's aid
mystic mood swung
lurching lousy lust
taming torpedic tongue
callous Cherub called
vile veins' gores
dripping damped draws
scrunched syllables smoothened
haggard hierarchy heightened.
19:11:14:11:30
eerie ensconced eyes
salient spooky sight
kinetic kindled flames
bounty blazing brace
gigantesque gaunt gulp
taunted tunnel; induct
scrunched seeped smile
dripping damped drive
hoisted feelings survived
callous covertures creates
brain's busty ballet
sane senses strays
moistened mystic memories
damped dull dwindling.
19:11:17:09:25
Hideous hank hoisted
smoothened scrunched sculpted
tactic turn twisting
scared surges skipping
smithereens into span
contracted turbulent trance
vile vibed passion
inflected per punctures
birthed by seizures
damped draws drooping
growling gaunt gaiety
lanky lust lurching
ensconced eyes envisaged
weary lids wakes.
19:11:13:13:20
reviving rusts revamping
frolic feigning feasts
damped desires drooping
mystic mists moaning
puked passion plying
tactic tier tucking
sour scrunched smoothened
pleasant parks heightened
dark dances darkened
fiery flames simpering
mocking mystic mists
towering; twigs twisting
archaic aura blending
brooding base bleeding.

Bow my head, with pen to book.
Pretend not to see stolen looks.
Writing of dreams I wish I'd had,
Of naughty times when we were bad.
I think of you, I think of them.
But always, I think of you again.
Endless songs, upon blotted ink.
Scrunched up paper, I tried to think.
Love letters sent and love letters not.
Waiting for you to love me,
but I guess you forgot.
Terrified me so!
My heart beat like a bass drum,
Screaming , "Go, go , go!"
Someone scrunched me in a jacket,
And headed me in fear.
I did my best to smile and hide
Tears of fear, fear, fear.
But I was with a jolly crew and we did quite well.
That fear-filled afternoon in Arizona
Later, relaxing and laughing in that raft.,
With cheers, cheers, cheers!

She scrunched her nose when she laughed
now she lies still
the overwarm water
splattering her skin
causing no change to the blue
everything inside
screaming she was in there
as we punched the one voice that let
the words she's gone
wanting to wrap a towel around
and dry her alive
leave the shower running
i want to drown the world
cause the one thing worth it
has made it...
sassy smirk scrunched
spanking salient sucks
smog smithereen scorched
sorting saucy sauce
savvy strengths spent
savaging sumptuous sects
dark dribbles drooled
damping dainty doom
dense dug douche
moaning mist melted
meager mends masticated
merging mushy murky
felon fate features
feigning fabulous fractures.

Note: Dedicated to poets all over the world.
Labour
Apoplectic murmurs as flesh contracts
Pacing and wandering in haze
Elation merged panic as the gas flows
Time is now forgotten
Life is imminent through waiting bitten lip
Scrunched fist and curled toes
Three wails, twists and reels
No position apparent, no decision made
Nature proceeds, hallucination then engulfs
Gravity descends life form
Transient separation and then…
Life anchors to openness.
I watched her
dropping the phone,
in nano movements
My heart stomped
out, the harshness
of a dial tone
And from endless
holes, these little eyes
scrunched with sadness
I suppose, I didn't know
what it meant to die
or why the tears
stuck to me
Sickle celled with
every memory,
around the lobes
of my being
Where I could
still hear you laugh,
the breaths of air
Grew arms
-- and comforted me.
