Short Slur Poems

sleepy
mouth can't keep up with mind
dull slur of words
I ask if I'm still here
if not, have I missed anything...

Racial Slur Did Occur

We heard that Trump said a racial slur;
Which right before  our eyes did occur;
Intimidating;
Humiliating;
Yet, what it was never knew for sure.

The old Devil, his name is Lucifer
When I see him, I tell him, 'Vamoose, Sir' --
  The Devil grins his sly smile
  Pleads, 'Let me stay for a while' --
I chase him away with an ethnic slur...

When you wonder if I am real or not,
And you focus too much on such doubts,
Your head starts spinning into a dizzy slur
and your whole world is seen in a blurr,
What I am
Who I am
Is the woman who loves you....

In this day and age there's still racial slurs
Thought all that was over but it still occurs
Adam Jones was the target
Human scum at their darkest
How can these low lifes justify this ugly curse...

Stretching to pour their glasses out in the sink
so the room wouldn't smell of whiskey stink
waiting in the dark
for you to give me light
for years the slur that was my name
remembering my parents
all i feel is shame...

Slur in time move side to side 
deter all hesitation;  
Transfer of lively hormones, 
pure magic set in motion;

Buy one more heighten the buzz,  
high on what it’s feeding me;
My mind is on a joyride, 
I wonder if you can see....

Specious logic needs litmus test
Why not with love confer
If we think at ego’s behest
We spew on soul a slur

At all costs need to win
Cause of our hearts chagrin 
Our soul tormented by sin

Outcome tragic
Specious logic

“I couldn’t care less” is easy to say
When brushing off a critical slur
Or covering up something unkind
Said to excuse a thoughtless deed
If sincere regret is what’s in mind
Perhaps you should say, “Grrrrrrrr,
I could care less,” and slink away!

Here by the bend
The road feels strange,
A surge can end
In awkward change.


I glimpse odd sights
That fashion proof,
Do I see right
In light of truth?


A certain blur
Conjures loose wit,
A certain slur
Can strangle fit.

I love as I was and then
My love, tended by your praise and slur
The blessing of spring, knavish sun 
I love as I was and then
I don't bow and shiver by wind, and arraign 
My scorched arms are insolent to spring and pour
I love as I was and then
My love, tended by your praise and slur...

Noise
Clouds choice
To slur voice


Glow
Now shows 
To sync flow


Light
Prompts sight
In deep flight


Way
Styles play
Each Dream day


Wit 
Blooms bit
As joy fits


Talk 
Not stalk
In deep walk


Find
In kind
Peace of mind

sex and hairspray,
its what her image screams.
her lips smeared with 99 cent gloss.
vodka and whisky lingering on hot breath.
fishnet stockings,
a hole in one knee.
eyeliner smudged by the humid air.
trojans packed away in her leather purse.
"well," she purs in a drunken slur.
"what do you think?"...

Sharp strokes
Pain pokes


Blur feel
Strange will


Weak steps
Queer map


Walk slow
Poor flow


Wrong way
Harsh sway


Ease saps
Lease traps


Luck fades
Loss trade


Too late
Closed gate


Fate brinks
Last think


Feel slur
New blur

THE LAUGH HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD

Myrtle laughed out loud, the whole world heard her
They tried to shut her down with nasty slur
Yet she laughed louder
Chest ever prouder
She could have cared less for mortal slander

Angel of our lower sphere,
homespun hair like summer-
burned field-grass falling 
over your face as you bend 

to your guitar – do you 
sometimes slur the words?
What strangeness takes you, 
by moments, beyond yourself
 
away from earth where we 
wait here listening? Is God
listening along with us?
Sing before you go....

Remember this paradox here:
All is not what it may seem to be;
There are those that stifle good cheer;
And cast slur on spontaneity.


Stupidity has no expiry date. 
Imagination supercedes knowledge;
Transcend anxiety as love bestows fate;
Success is ever a sharp double edge!

Communication by the quickest means. 
Eye-to-eye signals at the speed of light.
Forget speech with its slow slur of sound.
Body language received by the eye. 
The message sent: come close or go away.
You could be friend but then you could be foe.
Judgement of you and I through eye-to-eye.
Communication by the quickest means.

Sweet, beautiful, innocent girl wearing 
new white sneakers 
strides proudly 
into 
school, 

Flanked 
by guards 
with weapons 
for protection, 
ignoring sick slur scribbled on the brick.

Soft line,
you are timeless lyrics; 
Beats and verse intertwine;  
Every line simply licks, 
classically so fine;  

Work me,
feeling with the wrong words;
Memorized and gritty 
I know all of your chords, 
class with a splash dirty; 

I slur 
with your elevation;
You simply leave a blur;
Misinterpretation 
I’ll always remember....

Loud and Rough Voices

Effects normal peoples’ loud and 
rough voices have on me are: 
my eyeballs turn round and 
round, my nose stretches, farts, my lips turn into
batteries.Too my chin sticks out 
far far far, (bugs use it as a 
slippering dip).My kneecaps, well, 
slur. My chest hairs, well, 
alight, and 
my coat racks 
ignore me.

The fast is broken
The doors have opened
 
My mind is clear
The clutter in rear
 
Lighter than a feather
No longer captain slur
 
Focus is new norm
No longer the storm
 
Thank God for rebirth
Next season without dearth
 
Didn’t expect full recharge
He gives without surcharge
 
Gratitude comes this season
Life has only begun

In his eyes
He drove a little far ...

Away from the few
he knew ....

With no rhyme or hue
On a black canvas he drew ...
His Pacific Blues .....

Darker yet bland
were the shades of blur ...

Strumming his slur ...
fluttering in harmony
Over his bleeding lull

In his eyes
He drove a little too far ...

Away from the few
he knew .......

 One second of Joy is another second of sorrow
One minute of triumph is another minute of defeat
It seems that all I see now is a blur
I cannot speak anymore without a slur

I hear many voices from all different directions
Spoken and unspoken words were all objections
Disgust and horrified with all this irrelevance
Can we all agree to ignore our arrogance
