Short Splitter Poems

death
last breath
questions haunt
splitter prayers 
hello? hello? hello?
climbing grief sunset mountains 
pearls placed upon requested peaks
angst of still buds in the heart of souls
the pain puzzle missing until our death

Climbing a wooden ladder, seeking a laugh!
Guffaws in splinters — as I grab each side splitter.
A crescendo after the rung chuckles.
The thinning air and applause, prolapse my breath.
My knees might buckle as I collapse.

A star struck world desiring itself.
A cosmology endowed in wealth.
A swirling of magic and mist.
A cosmology of integrated fist.
A world of big dippers and little dippers.
A sky with monopoly.
A world of cosmology.
Shining glitter.
A world fashioned splitter.
My cosmology.
Your cosmology....

Dedicated to a Nun that was raped by a Hindu gang in Orrisa in India.

Bondage dawdles but dauntless rambler.
Glimmers as goblin a goblet gambler.
A heartburn glory chalks a chandelier.
A granite lineage outdistanced gondolier.

Responsive restitution a splitter sponger,
Guttural estuary grumbles bounded cavalier.
A bony strangled receptacle receiver,
Keynote bolted storm violate believer....

          ~ Limerick Style * ~ 

  
   Some maintain that ‘thought is for aught’
   At least that’s what I have been taught

      But thought fathers the deed
      It plants the tiny seed ~

   Without which great doings are naught

You let me fall like a raindrop on the floor...
Just mixed in a storm and left to be no more...
I'm just another drop from a cloud of rain...
But you know deep inside I don't taste the same...
Left on the walkway to just dry up and go away...
But that's just not me, I'll splitter splatter my own way...
Life goes on and more clouds shall come and go...
But this little raindrop has a lot more to show...

When texting was just starting out, my friend texted LOL to me.
Little ornery lunatic?
Lovely ordinary laugh?
Luxuriously outstanding lady?
Lobe-oriented log-splitter?
Land over Lithuania?

Lime Orange Lion-berries?
I texted back “what is LOL?”
But she had shut her phone off
For the night.

I texted three more friends,
But their phones had also
Been shut off.

This was before people started
carrying their cellphones all
day long, looking at them 
constantly you see.

LOL...
