Short Smacks Poems

It doesn’t faze me
When fate smacks me a good one
I just limp along

Cat
Stares at
The floor then
Smacks at the air
Jump, sprint poofy tail
Repeats process
Clearly she
Is so 
Bored!...

Lovers huddle close.
Rain smacks the dusty pavement.
Commuters bustle,
Seeking refuge in doorways.
Diesel fumes, cigarette smoke,
Intoxicate the bus queue....

Silence surrounds

The menace abounds

Hear the thundering sound

Of Satan flying round & round

Until Jesus smacks him down

Down into the underground....

Lovers start it off by having fun.
It's not them who deal with what's begun.  
First, the doctor smacks you and you cry. 
Even worse things happen.  Then you die....

At times-even after decades..
boomeranging back in big blue waves
smacks me square in the heart
barking blackness into the brain...
She's really isn't coming back!
and I think to myself
what a wonderful world..
it was with her in it....

Odd character that smacks God’s right hand.
Miserable wretches - the media
Is underhanded.
Spits in the wind; truth is
Suspect…fallacious videos, omissions
Itinerant…on the cutting floor.
Obama speaks —
No one hears his piece.

Why even try to explain, its insane 
when I take a sneak peak at my life,     
I often feel cloned and unreal.       
Reality smacks and I'm under attack  
I dream and I dream like a dope,  
savoring slices of make-believe pie.

Crashing waves
white capped guilt
Stone like will
crushed to silt
Parry clouds
this driving rain
Heartbreak city
shows no pity
Looks of hope
a slippery slope
Changing lanes
while dodging pain
Reality smacks in your face
desperation to keep pace....

Chang Chung Chungling smacks the bartender,
                                  Merrily in a midnight bender;
                                    But in the drinking spree
                                       In a certain degree
                               He ends up being a big spender....

A joker by right playful,
In his multifarious role,
Stalks the image with random,
True ambiguous collections.

Deep rooted teeth cheesy in smile,
Pirate eye calculating,
Smacks of military might;
In jesters tender delight.

Plays the blind card to his joy?
Misses no one with this ploy....

On a winter day the cold wind flies
It's a long time till spring in May
But watch how fast it'll go by
On a winter day
The inside invites you to stay
A gentle wind seems to shift and sigh
The biting chill leads the way
Air smacks my face making me cry
Yet I linger as I lay
I'll never know why
On a winter day...

As the thunder smacks throughout the night
the little boy still sleeps.

The lightning cracks and shakes the house
but the snores still seem to come.

Rain smashes down on the roof of the house
but the boy just won't awake.

Because he's dreaming of a long lost mother 
who died on a day quite like today....

Wednesday afternoon
                                            Blue fruits from the trial
                                          Smacks and hacks for sure
                                          Learning do from failure
                                         Learn from yesterday,live today,hope for tomorrow...

water rejoices

gurgles splashes meanders –

freedom at its source


parched soil drinks essence

smacks lips soaks up swells fortune – 

intimate delight


drought drowns in rock pools

recites sun baked final wish –

happy with fusion

fire enjoys the Christmas smells
popping and kicking in a delighted way
mesmerized children come closer, loving her

she feels this admiration but once a year,
smacks her lips and a stream of sparks travel up the fireplace
it's magic! one of the little ones says;
she gets so excited, she feels like burning down the house....

Not just a pastime,
a game that builds character
and lifetime friendships.

That tiny white ball;
invigorating swing, smacks...
backward sailing spree.

A lonely mitt sits;
bat has conquered once again;
cheers, back pats and hugs.

At age eighty-three
a glorious reunion
baseball memories.

rain falls rain falls down
the girl walks in rain
inside she fills, fills and drowns
and she isn't going anywhere

tears fill tears fill eyes
the girl tries to hold on
she tries tries not to cry
and she is holding it in

he smack, he smacks her
the girl remains in silence
she's just, just a girl
and she can't cry tonight...

thorough tsunami
hundreds dead and missing too
vacation homes lost

unexpected quake
her fault line grins for miles
separates families

popping forest fire
her blackened devastation
gloating with loud smacks

houses blown away
tornado reigns as winner
huge devastation

flooding creeps up fast
the family remains asleep
found dead in river...

A spoonful of chocolate
stirred into coffee
produces a brew
so delightful, so addicting . . .

Coffee, straight; 
smacks flat, bitter.
Its only advantage lies 
in the heat sliding downward,	
warming heart, stomach, bones.

Coffee, with; 
hits smooth as velvet, 
rich, comforting,
marking my day
with positive sway,
settled contentment.

Morning smacks two cheats.
Cock crows on three-peat;
caught among four sheets.
Stark in a strange bed,
led by the blunt head. 
Knowing I went wrong,
yielding to snake tongues-
I'm the jukebox clown.

That lazy bass grind,
grog, cigar haze, blind.
Bone-stirring find,
a hip-shaking noose,
natty, chatty, loose
bearing apple juice,
and lips, jazzy red,
annulled vows we said....

Tony Ls DREAMS 
great confusion of a poem, 
of the tortoise and the gnome, 
and i love the rabid flow, 
and now i'm going home, 
with introspection blown, 
my derilection. LOVE IT MATE

Ah the booze will get you down,
hangover bouncing round,
till your skull it rattles with the thunder,
your head smacks the ground,
the world goes round an round,
and that's why i'm here in the sweetest  down under:)...

So much strength 
to begin a breath
Escaping torment
 in a unfit death

Inside screams, 
scream your name
Yet you continue
 to play this game

You search for answers 
You ask around
But realty smacks you in the face
Because there's no answers to be found

So you sit in denial
Hiding what's inside
Till everything becomes
What has lied

You cant overcome
What is to be
A caged bird
Fearing to be free...

A man raises his hand... He Smacks his wife.... 
She cries.. What did I do.... Is this part of life....
Kids walk in... daddy is drunk... where is my mama? 
she's in the trunk... Beating and bloody.....almost dead... 
why did this happen. Something she said!
Mommy was leaving.. Daddy got mad...Now she's gone and were both sad
Daddy took her life... The bottle took his..
Know who's gonna love me and Lil sis

my hope is legendary
I believe in magic
The goodness of children
an enlightened empathetic world

my hope is prominent
I am full of optimism
that the races can all love each other
and we can do better than merely “tolerating” each other.

my hope gets me out of bed in the morning
She smacks me up the side of the head
If I allow myself the luxury of a negative thought
She is all encompassing, and a guiding light for me....
