Take my 1st cut

Now I'm ready

Cactus Cry Tricube

Prickly plant,
reminds me 
of my heart;

Sharpened, tough;
Time thickened,
weakening;

Falling for 
a flooding
cactus cry.

Before the Cradle Falls

Bitten

The wind has sharpened teeth

Flesh can scream

Never the same

Unforgettable pain

Empathy in action

The Saxton the Saxton

Turned!

Mockery

Tongue is sharpened by stiff disdain;
using insult that causes pain.
Like a dagger that cuts the vein
which victim’s heart cannot contain
for ridicule and scorn remain.

Mirror

A full length oval mirror
It's so as, crystal clear

Reflects it's brightness
Within your happiness

Can showcase the inner evil
Just with a strike of your sharpened needle.

He wanted to Domesticate his Lovely Wife

He wanted to domesticate his lovely wife
This misogynist plan caused him lots of strife
She went after him with a sharpened carving knife
Ruined my life! He laments. She ruined my life!

Sharpened Vision

The world was a blur, a hazy design, 
Like Monet through mud, a most curious sign. 
But then came a change, 
My vision rearranged, 
Now, the details are sharp, and the jokes truly shine!

Untitled #43 / Centripetal Force

Centripetal force of a
whirling waterbottle, captured in it
the tornado of our youth
and reflecting a goofy smile.
Dare you say centrifugal?
Dare you graze the edge of a sharpened sword?

With Remorse and Off Course

With Remorse and Off Course

On one evening  was much remorse;
Hillary had lost after being off course;
Sharpened claws,
With many  laws;
Of sin, Trump became his own source.

                                       saber is sharpened

Wield My Words With Care

Wield my words with care

Pencils with sharpened points

Poisionous as lead.

A Moment With Me

out in icicled darkness
softly i gave myself to the shadows
my nodding head beating
to her singing hurts
as i make shapes
breathing sharpened
mist catching
moon eyelashes
as they flutter
bashfully

Wolves

Howling under moonlight 
Clenched jowls and sharpened fangs 
Swarm fated ill-fortune,
Effortlessly gliding
In perfected patterns
Adapting with each dash
Until red runs on green grass

Caution

Our relationship

Is based on a double-edged sword

There’s nothing safe to stand on

You sharpened the blade

Once too many times

Now, even when you don’t intend to kill

You slice both you and I.

Valentine Haiku Questionku 1

Flower’s heart flutters
Bees pass off the love letter
Bed remains fertile

Alone together
He pulls out his sharpened knife
Names tattoo a tree

Current pulling hard
Water pulling you under
What’s the river’s name?

He hath made The point quite Sincere never trade Your pointless trite Round former great Whose sharpened plight Remains unchanged fate Indispensable when betrayed Honed deeply serrate

Chicken Dinner

A farmer fancied some chicken for dinner
A fat cockerel he spied sure was a winner
He sharpened his knife
To end cockerels life
Cockerel wished that he'd been a bit thinner.

Planet E

The blast of nostrils opened up the sea
The stroke of tendrils dried up the tree

The dusty roads covered man's dream of gold
Croaking toads sharpened the sword untold

One day... peace and harmony braced the blue planet E.

The Masquerade

Through a bullet point
A harpoon was sharpened
By boom
In gloom

Switch on the button
You jump
I jump 
Into a Russian roulette

You look at me
I look at you
Cross one’s arms
Under arms
Sit together
With the masquerade

Immolatio

Raw and uncut, the Poet
  sharpened his edge

His entry point targeted
  fury bright red

The first cut the deepest
  and clean to the bone

A wound bleeding freely
   —all sutures unknown

A Planned Slap Rondelet

A pre planned slap,
when the beast breaks the chains beware;
             A pre planned slap,
deeper wound falling for a trap;
It’s the charge you feel in the air 
with sharpened nails it will ensnare;
             A pre planned slap.

Wounding Words

words that pierce like a sharpened edge
the pen has no regret
old pain incessant we must dredge
if not forgive, forget?

but the power of a simple verse
overlooked by the creator
has made the past in present worse
and lesser pain now greater

A New Dawn

The meter—the castle,
  the rhyme in the moat

The battlements weary,
  all meaning afloat

The knights at the ready,
  swords sharpened and drawn

Each piercing a sonnet
—each flag a new dawn
