blades of windmill spinning furiously

my words are my soul, ripped into shreds
once written and twice read...
my mind rejuvenates after the sentence slams out
one breath and two exhales......

Thirteen:
a hex slams the decks
in cosmic fashion
aloof, shedding proof
of boundless passion
covert to pervert
virtue left ashen;
once fed every thread
begs for compassion....

Untitled #2
slams again he yacks his toes
and rashes back against the throes
prays aghast
he screams out No
and bleeds against 
the bathroom floor
tears of dust
o god no more...

The Doors
they open and close at my will
they pull closed and shove open noisily
but i know better than that
i know who slams it
opens it
greases it 
fixes it

but i just dont want to hear it...

Judo Pin-Down
When the mind grabs and holds,

slams and finally pins down 

an elusive poetic idea

on the judo mat of

the written word,

the soul leaps

with effusive

yet quiet

joy!...

The old fool can't even spell 'embarrassed'

Premium Member A Clown I Am
A clown I am 
on strings not of my own design
pulled gently some days
thrown into a box other days

The puppet master chortles
as he slams the lid 
forgetting me for days
not caring that I am afraid of the dark...

Premium Member How Strange the Reality
cats and dogs
run and play
together
as eagles and mice
nibble
side by side
the snake and mongoose
waltz
eye to eye—
humankind slams
peace
back and forth
across stretched nets
of time
in pursuit of power
scores—...

Premium Member Unfair Death
Death is fast.
Severe
mean
unkind
Ruins our sense of well being

Throws us up in the air
slams us into walls
Throwing unbidden
feelings at us,

emotions which
we cannot name
There is no name
furious
unfair
unkind
severe
death...

Stand
Screaming, she slams
furious fists forward 
punching powerfully
through timber.

Drops down
exhaling exhausted. 
Furrows forehead,
discouraged, disappointed.

Breathes bravely,
stands strong,
moves mountains,
lives life.

Slams Destroyed Her Head
Slams Destroyed Her Head

She was slammed by slam poetry, boo hoo!
Some folks wondered about the hullabaloo.
When bombarded with dread,
Sad thoughts destroyed her head.
Now, she thinks she’s a blithering cuckoo!
