repent
with sackcloth and ashes
turn back
to prayer in schools
skeleton phalanges off our youth
No leafy clothing -
Simplicity not foiled by
A cushion of sky.

Human skeleton
shriveled body, blackened lungs
just yesterday, young...
Pleading, his final request
gasping: One last cigarette
to the skeleton within
slinking about in my skin
let me thank its feet
a halloween treat
that i do not bump my shin.
leaves crunch underfoot
grey white clouds scuttle above
skeleton trees
it is the end of autumn
the wind’s cold but still no snow
woodsy mountainside
rain turns snow-white petals clear —
japanese specter

mangled phalanges
reach from haunched spectral shoulders
death screams at dusk

toughened weathered by strong winds...

Lip stained ugliness
On my detrimental brow
Transcends the insignificance
Of union unbound
By tides indefinable
Even her skeleton is beautiful
Anticipating
a relationship reborn
on a skeleton
where love is the support,
two yearning souls seek wholeness,
prepared for the pains of growth.
The skeleton was a surprise:
a male victim based on bone size.
The public defender
maintained they’d misgendered,
but the chromosome test never lies.
On spooky table
Lies a dormant skeleton
With his skull lit up
Candy surrounds the body
A great treat for the fearful

We can recall
Joyous moments in our lives
With great enthusiasm;
But the tears
We've neglected to wipe
From the eyes of our fellow man
Will never leave us
Skeleton bodies
All stretched out along a wall
Full of skulls and ribs
Even feet to be complete
Together for Halloween
Russell Sivey
I played chess with a skeleton named Juve
Who during games would get in a groove
But it was his fate
To never checkmate
Coz of repeated, bone-headed moves
If I were an elephant
I would marry my mahout man
Would fly very high
Up in the blue sky
Then fall down in a skeleton

In his closet Mort had a skeleton
Draped o'er an undelivered Peleton
A bag of bones himself
Mort was a Christmas elf
Dined on doughnut holes atop gelatin
kreel n krurl
bone twisting brake
skeletons dancing
beturn o bewake
beslide n beclunky
on graveyardy mound
skelebones skelefunky
over graveyardy ground
Earth is human flesh
The sun inherent chakra
The skeleton moon
steampunk skeleton wore a decorated hat
it was charming with gears and wires so phat
he dressed like a dapper wise old techno man
steampunk royalty named Weary Dearie Dan
The Day of the Dead down Mexico way,
Spirits are saved. Food and dancing are gay!
Skeleton shaped toys,
For all girls and boys,
Tasty sugar skulls are the hit of the day!
The skeleton with a crazy hat,
Says,'I am rotten inside, Mr.Bat',
I have no heart,
I cannot fart,
But they say,'you are a sort of pack rat'.

I want to cut myself free from my skin,
And let the bones be the things that cradle me in.
My heart, my lungs, the things I depend,
Because inside we're all the same skeleton.
Form:
Bones
Pale, chalky
Hating, stalking, gripping
Skull, skeleton, Jack-O-Lantern, candle
Humbling, pleasing, comforting
Orange, hollow
