Superficial Love

She pooh-poohed his smallish gift.
He looked glum and she looked miffed.
	No diamond in sight,
	She did not delight.
Her love for him was set adrift.

Salt

I’m salt,
ionic,
on tables laid iconic,
abrasive, bitter,
savoury and,
consecratory:
Tridentined mandatory:
a quarter
of the blessings
from the sky.
And without me
in smallish lots,
you die.

Caged and Boxed

caged and boxed
smacked into a smallish space
Confined
I am a lion
roaring loudly and clearly
In mindfulness
Praising family
for their non-interest
caged and boxed
Living full me-ness

To Be Set Free

I hear behind me
the fleeting  sounds 
of a large green alligator 
slithering through the weeds

it snaps at my butt
and takes a smallish  chunk of me 
setting me free
to ponder 

behind a tree
how lucky 
one can be 
to be set free.

The Crack

Yesterday
the wind blew open
a crack in the air

A smallish space
   so t'wd seem
squeezed just between 
the here and there.
 
‘Tis said 
   a good deed 
   an' a heartfelt prayer
can let one briefly stare
   into that space
where eyes may see
   yet 
not quite be.

Cancer Unnamed In 1862

The horses are a galloping today
Their hooves clacking against the cobblestones.
They clomp right by in a most lovely way.
Woman in carriage giving tiny moans.
Cancer prevails in her smallish bones.
Eighteen sixty-two.  Disease has no name.
Big C makes it impossible to hide.
This poor woman will never be the same.

Injured by an Ice Cube

Injured by an ice cube
'Tis hard to comprehend,
removal from it's tray
a spike of ice extends.

This dagger like stalagmite
did pierce my very skin,
a chilling site, believe me,
and much to my chagrin!

Some blood did run, yet briefly,
a smallish wound you see,
same ice that did the spearing
I used for healing me!

You Asked For It

Gibberash spontainly rushed
From other poet’s pens regushed,
Cannot contain the jovial 
That Joycean phrases frame so well.

Ditberner is the Guzzi dare,
Dare I to say I doubly care?
Constracted I to JJ.’s soul,
I half a line to make it whole.

I fear my brain will adlelate
My mind doth too soon arbitrate.
Read this I beg in smallish doses
Ere Poetry Soup gives in and closes.

Whatcha Thinkin 'Bout

whatcha thinkin ’bout


nothing really.
it is true.
at an age when
the mind is on 
permanent vacation,
I float on a bed of soft 
feeling, selected memories.
occasionally a thought
creeps in disguised as a
smallish notion then bursts
into a real head-banger of
an idea stamped, to the one 
who used to live here.
Like throwing a bone 
to a toothless dog to be
slobbered over then
discarded for a nap in the sun.

Attitude

Attitude Tom Wright 11-10-2016 Discouraging words are uttered every day, And the most hurtful I hear is “I don’t care.” Dudes get uptight when not getting their way, That is more lamebrain than a barrel of hair. Not caring about things is a bad place to live, And from our vocabularies we should abolish. Thinking only of one’s self with nothing to give, Exposes us as being thoughtless and smallish;

Tussilago Farfara, Or Coltsfoot

In waste places beside the road Coltsfoot grows in fertile till. A smallish flower no higher than a toad Its habitat seems to fit the bill. Not expecting a flower in this land Odd brown scales clasp its stalk. Skunk cabbage neighbors in its sand And makes a "feller" stop and gawk.. Leaves not unlike the hoof of a colt Hence the name, Colts-foot, you know. The first flower in spring to bolt And a weed that escapes my hoe. By any name, it's still a weed.
